What is AIM and why the heck can't I get an account? I'm in Australia. Is it restricted only to American users?
Posted by pH (Member # 1350) on :
A few of mine:
"People like me. Because I force them to! With violence! ...I rule you."
"When I say your dumb name, please stand up briefly, but then quickly drop to your knees, and forsake all others before me."
"WHY DO YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES WHEN WE MAKE LOVE?"
"Your sexual innuendo is priceless."
Yeah, I watch way too much Adult Swim.

Posted by Corwin (Member # 5705) on :
I have loooots of "away" messages, depending on my mood or... well, on many things. Sometimes I just set the thing to "busy" on whatever status I have at that moment, but I won't list those cases.
These are some of them:
"Out of my mind...Back in five minutes." -(from a bumper sticker)
"You have the right to remain silent....Anything you say will be misquoted, then used against you." -(another bumper sticker)
[trying to read a note] "See you soon, id..." "id..." "ids..." [taking the note] "Idiots". It's for you. -(The Good, the Bad and the Ugly)
"You're breaking up... the house is going through a tunnel... you're breaking up... hrr..." -Lorelai to Rory, Gilmore Girls
"Maybe the absence of signs is a sign?" -Serendipity
"Detective Del Spooner: [sneezes] ...Sorry, I'm allergic to bulls***." -I, Robot (this is more for when I'm busy and don't want to be disturbed for non-important stuff)
"At the beep please leave your name, number and a brief justification for the ontological necessity of modern man's existential dilemma." -Reality Bites
"As dead to the world as an old anvil." -Haruki Murakami, Sputnik Sweetheart (usually for when I'm sleeping)

Download the one that's right for your computer (if you have Windows XP, or a Mac, etc...)
Just follow their directions! You'll have AIM in no time!
Go to this thread, and find some Jatraqueros to chat with!

I am away from the computer right now because, quite frankly, I can't stand your ass.
Posted by Carrie (Member # 394) on :
I also have many. Right now:
"And the Greeks went to Egypt and some guy said 'bnbrbbebrrraa' and it came out 'phoenix'."
Posted by Architraz Warden (Member # 4285) on :
The one I use most often (from H2G2.com):
"And they named the city 'Phoenix,' after the mystical bird that rose from its own ashes. And so ushered in an era of area-dwellers disturbingly comfortable with the concept of self-immolation."
And my auto-away message (from Babylon 5):
"You know, I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe."

I'm away. Be back soon!
Posted by pH (Member # 1350) on :
Okay, I really can't remember what this is from, but I want the entire quote, and since many away messages are quotes, I'll ask here.
I want to say it's from the Producers, but I'm not sure. I heard it as a sample at the beginning of a song. A line about, "A man could make more money with a flop than he could with a hit!"
Also, if anyone's heard that song, please tell me. I've been dying to hear it.

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
Yeah, that is from the Producers... but I've only seen the original, so unfortunately, I don't know the music. I will, though, once the movie comes out. Posted by pH (Member # 1350) on :
I don't think it's an actual song from the Producers. I think it's a song by someone else that uses that sample.
But I can't remember! I remember the line, and I have this overwhelming urge to hear the rest, but I can't remember what the rest sounds like.
Like when you get one line of a song stuck in your head, but you don't know the rest of the words.

It's in the trailer for the movie that is about to come out.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.
Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
Yeah, pH, I hate when that happens!

I have no idea what mine is. I'm using whatever is set as the defaults when I installed the program. I use Trillian so I can be logged into MSN, Y!, AIM and IRC at the same time and only use one window to do all of the typing. So, I'm assuming that they are all probably going to say the same thing too.

Today we salute you, Mr. Compulsive Away Message Checker. While most people are out actually having a fun life, you are at home reading about it on your computer screen. Right mouse click, Get Buddy Info, or the little Info box at the bottom of the Buddy List. You have people on that list you haven't talked to in years, but you still loyally read their away messages every day to see what they're up to (borderline stalking). So, crack open an ice cold Bud, Marauder of the Mouse Pad, and don't wander too far from your computer because you never know when someone's away message may change.
Girls are like apples on trees. The good ones are at the top. The boys don't wanna reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead they just get the rotten apples on the ground that aren't as good, but easy to get. So the apples at the top think that there is something wrong with them, when in reality, they are AMAZING! That is why we just have to be patient and the right boy, the one who takes a chance to find the good apple will come one day...
You know what bugs me? Really long away messages. I mean, it's like, who wants to sit there and read this entire thing where, if written down on paper, would take up a tree's worth of paper? I know I don't! Long away messages are tedious, unfunny, and stupid, and you wonder what on earth is wrong with the person writing it. I mean, it's like, must there be this long of a message to get the stupid point across? How hard can it be to say, I'm away? Honestly...
What's up with America's obsession with shizzles? Next librarians will be saying, "be quizzle fo shizzle my little nizzles."
I have a few others, but I figure I should stop there.

I put this one up every now and then:
Colonel Mustard: And what exactly is it you do here? Wadsworth: I buttle, sir.
This is a quote from my friend: "If it makes you feel any better I'm typing to you naked" - The Kel
And this I got from a book that I had to read for class: "This will make your mind firmer, less sexy."
I also use song lyrics right now.

Great movie.
And I'm typing this nekked too. I use that one on my friends a lot.
There is another forum I post to that I will always sign it with some randome song lyric taken out of context.
Anyway I just figure out how to change my away messages.
I have a custom one that says:
I've gone to get something to eat. I get hungry sometimes. Especialy after a long hard day at my computer. I like pie.
