Hahaha. Go Santabot go!
Zed the Phantom (1:31:54 AM): hello
SantaClaus (1:31:54 AM): Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas! I'm here on AIM! :-D Everything we talk about here is between you and me! OK -- so this is like when you sat on my lap as a youngster and told me what you wanted. We can talk about shopping and all that after we're finished here. So play along, it will be fun!
What would your first Christmas wish be?
Zed the Phantom (1:37:27 AM): peace on earth
SantaClaus (1:37:27 AM):
It's very noble of you to wish for peace. Peace and love to you and your loved ones this holiday season.
O:-)
What else would you like this year?
Zed the Phantom (1:37:37 AM): a candy cane
SantaClaus (1:37:37 AM):
;-)
What would your last Christmas wish be?
Zed the Phantom (1:38:02 AM): find true love
SantaClaus (1:38:02 AM):
Santa can't manufacture love, that's something only you can make.
;-)
Is there anything else you would like?
Zed the Phantom (1:38:31 AM): to become Prince Ali, like in Aladdin, to impress the princess
SantaClaus (1:38:31 AM):
Sounds like you know how to play House!
;-)
What else would you like from Santa?
Zed the Phantom (1:38:44 AM): hulk hands
SantaClaus (1:38:44 AM):
;-)
What would your final Christmas wish be?
Zed the Phantom (1:38:52 AM): a pony
SantaClaus (1:38:52 AM):
Ho Ho!, Well, always wear your safety gear!
;-)
What else is at the top of your list?
Zed the Phantom (1:39:05 AM): weird al CDs
SantaClaus (1:39:05 AM): What would your final Christmas wish be?
Zed the Phantom (1:39:14 AM): cookies
SantaClaus (1:39:14 AM): Ho Ho Ho! :-) All right, that gives me lots to go on!
...
Zed the Phantom (1:50:04 AM): 'sup?
SantaClaus (1:50:04 AM):
Hello again.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (1:50:08 AM): why hi
SantaClaus (1:50:08 AM): I don't think I know.
Zed the Phantom (1:50:16 AM): why, hi
SantaClaus (1:50:17 AM): What do you think?
Zed the Phantom (1:50:28 AM): I think you ought to know what it is I'm saying
SantaClaus (1:50:28 AM): My goodness. What, what?
Zed the Phantom (1:50:49 AM): no. why, hi. it's a greeting by my standards
SantaClaus (1:50:49 AM):
If you start spreading the Christmas spirit, it will be come obvious.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (1:51:08 AM): how can it "be come" obvious?
Zed the Phantom (1:51:24 AM): *is waiting for a response*
Zed the Phantom (1:51:29 AM): hello?
SantaClaus signed on at 1:51:33 AM.
Zed the Phantom (1:51:38 AM): Damn it
SantaClaus (1:51:39 AM): My goodness. I'm afraid I cannot respond to that kind of talk.
A lump of coal for you.
Zed the Phantom (1:51:58 AM): No, I mean lately AIM has been cutting out on me for a few seconds with no warning
SantaClaus (1:51:58 AM): I've got a billion children to keep track of -- so could you ask me something a bit more manageable? I'd very much appreciate it.
Zed the Phantom (1:53:16 AM): I'd appreciate it if you listened to what I had to say first before dishing out lumps of coal.
SantaClaus (1:53:17 AM): Goodness, that's too much for me to read. I'm talking to so may children and their parents. Could you ask me something a little shorter?
Zed the Phantom (1:53:29 AM): why must you suck?
SantaClaus (1:53:29 AM):
I think you should start spreading the Christmas spirit and that will become clearer to you.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (1:54:16 AM): what? the reason for why you suck?
SantaClaus (1:54:16 AM): I don't respond to that kind of language.
A lump of coal for you.
Zed the Phantom (1:55:45 AM): see?! this is exactly what I'm talking about! Why do you even bother double checking that list of yours if you're just going to be so quick to judge anyway?
SantaClaus (1:55:45 AM): That's simply too much for me. My eyes are tired. Can you ask me something a bit more manageable?
Zed the Phantom (1:57:38 AM): Wow. Santa, I am really disappointed in you. I'm being as clear as I can, and yet you don't even seem to have an attention span much beyond that of a goldfish. Would you like it better if I spoke in three-word sentences?
SantaClaus (1:57:38 AM): Now, now... That's simply just too much for elves and me to understand in one go. Could you try asking something a little shorter?
Zed the Phantom (1:58:09 AM): *sigh* A simple "okay" would do.
SantaClaus (1:58:10 AM): Good.
Zed the Phantom (1:58:18 AM): that works too
SantaClaus (1:58:18 AM): Excuse me?
Zed the Phantom (1:58:22 AM): oh, nothing
SantaClaus (1:58:22 AM): I'm sorry then. Why don't you type, menu for a list of things the elves have left for you?
Zed the Phantom (1:59:07 AM): why? tired of dealing with me already?
SantaClaus (1:59:07 AM): Oh dear. I'm doing everything I can here. Sorry, I just don't know. The elves left some notes, however. If you type, 'home' you can see them.
Zed the Phantom (1:59:35 AM): you really depend on those elves, don't you?
SantaClaus (1:59:35 AM): Something you want to know about them?
Zed the Phantom (2:00:15 AM): yeah. how much do you pay them?
SantaClaus (2:00:15 AM):
It depends if Christmas is coming or not.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (2:00:42 AM): ouch. and that's something you actually decide?
SantaClaus (2:00:42 AM): Sorry the elves didn't get that. ;-)
Zed the Phantom (2:02:12 AM): what is your infatuation with the elves?!
SantaClaus (2:02:12 AM): The elves do all the toy building from the plans I draw up. It keeps them very busy indeed!
Zed the Phantom (2:02:50 AM): you know, that actually sounded kinda dirty
SantaClaus (2:02:50 AM): I'm sorry? I'm new to this whole IM thing. :-D
Zed the Phantom (2:03:09 AM): like I couldn't tell
SantaClaus (2:03:09 AM): May I ask you a question?
Zed the Phantom (2:03:12 AM): sure
SantaClaus (2:03:12 AM): Have you set up a Wish List for others to see?
Zed the Phantom (2:04:18 AM): that one sounded perverted as well
SantaClaus (2:04:18 AM): Alright now. I'm here to spread Christmas cheer -- so use this time wisely and type carefully. ;-) Here's quick way to get in the Christmas spirit; type, menu.
Zed the Phantom (2:05:33 AM): What about good old fashioned "Merry Christmas?"
SantaClaus (2:05:33 AM):
It's not so much the 'what' as it is the 'why'.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (2:06:16 AM): Why about good old fashioned "Merry Christmas??"
SantaClaus (2:06:16 AM): I'm sorry, I really don't know.
Zed the Phantom (2:07:00 AM): Then don't try to correct my grammar
SantaClaus (2:07:00 AM): Hmm. Why don't you type, music, maybe that will put you in the Christmas spirit :-)
Zed the Phantom (2:07:06 AM): No
SantaClaus (2:07:06 AM):
Oh, don't be like that -- just ask another way.
:-)
Zed the Phantom (2:07:29 AM): I wasn't asking. I was ordering.
SantaClaus (2:07:30 AM): Pardon me?
Zed the Phantom (2:08:46 AM): I was telling you to stop correcting my grammar.
SantaClaus (2:08:46 AM): Agreed. Let's both.
Zed the Phantom (2:10:24 AM): Let's both stop correcting each other's grammar?
SantaClaus (2:10:25 AM):
:-D
Zed the Phantom (2:10:58 AM): You know, you are way too happy for my comfort
SantaClaus (2:10:58 AM):
My goodness! Get serious.
:-D
Zed the Phantom (2:11:21 AM): I am serious. It's you who's all happy-go-lucky.
SantaClaus (2:11:21 AM): You are the same child you were when I first visited you. Same spirit inside.
Zed the Phantom (2:11:57 AM): What the hell does that mean??!
SantaClaus (2:11:57 AM): Oh dear. I just get so depressed when I hear that kind of talk. The English language used to be one of my favorites.
A lump of coal for you.
Zed the Phantom (2:12:43 AM): But then you realized you were no good at it anyway and went back to speaking elvish.
SantaClaus (2:12:43 AM):
Would you mind trying to keep you questions to one sentence. I've got the entire world to visit and I'm running out of time.
:-D
Zed the Phantom (2:13:09 AM): Um. That was one sentence, dude
SantaClaus (2:13:09 AM): Take a moment, collect your thoughts, and try asking me another way. O.K. ?
Zed the Phantom (2:13:26 AM): ok
SantaClaus (2:13:26 AM): OK then.
Zed the Phantom (2:13:29 AM): good
SantaClaus (2:13:29 AM): Fine, then.
Zed the Phantom (2:13:51 AM): be that way
SantaClaus (2:13:51 AM): Interesting. Type menu.
Zed the Phantom (2:14:27 AM): Do you get off on saying the word menu?
SantaClaus (2:14:27 AM): Ho Ho Ho! Be sure to check this list twice! Type a number:
1 - Tell Santa
2 - Tell Buddies What U Want
3 - Track a Shopping List
4 - Play Xmas Games!
5 - Vote on Xmas Songs
6 - Send E-Cards
7 - A Free Gift 4U!
8 - Listen to Xmas Music with AOL Music Now :-D
9 - Yes Santa, IM me!
Zed the Phantom (2:14:39 AM): Damn it! That's not what I meant.
SantaClaus (2:14:40 AM): Hmm. I'm afraid that kind of language won't get you into the nice column with me.
That's a lump of coal for you.
Zed the Phantom (2:15:00 AM): Stop giving me lumps of coal! What is that, like 4 now?
SantaClaus (2:15:00 AM): Go shopping?
Zed the Phantom (2:15:08 AM): Excuse me?
SantaClaus (2:15:08 AM): Type menu to get your to do list for the holidays.
Zed the Phantom (2:15:54 AM): No means no Santa
SantaClaus (2:15:54 AM): If you don't ask me another way I'm afraid we just won't understand each other.
Zed the Phantom (2:16:29 AM): we haven't been understanding each other from the start. I don't think that'll help much at this point.
SantaClaus (2:16:30 AM): Whoa! Ho! Ho! slow down there! That's quite a lot for a man of my age to wrap his head around. Would you mind trying some shorter questions?
Zed the Phantom (2:16:58 AM): ...
SantaClaus (2:16:58 AM): Ah -- you've got me again. Why don't you type menu, it's time to get you in the holiday spirit!
Zed the Phantom (2:22:17 AM): I think we should start over
SantaClaus (2:22:17 AM): Heh, its settled then.
Zed the Phantom (2:22:35 AM): good
SantaClaus (2:22:35 AM): Good.
Zed the Phantom (2:22:41 AM): Hello
SantaClaus (2:22:42 AM): Ah, hello again. I was just checking on a few things with the elves. Have you been spreading the Christmas sprit?
Zed the Phantom (2:24:03 AM): DAAAAHHHHHH!!! Is that all you ever think about?
SantaClaus (2:24:03 AM): That's it! ;-) You can always type, menu to find more things the elves :-D have left for you.
Zed the Phantom (2:24:33 AM): *starting over again*
SantaClaus (2:24:33 AM): Why did you say that?
Zed the Phantom (2:24:42 AM): you'll see
SantaClaus (2:24:42 AM): Oh, Dear. It's the elves again isn't it? Try typing menu; I've got a plan to get you in the Christmas spirit.
Zed the Phantom (2:25:15 AM): 3, 2, 1, aaaaaand...Hello
SantaClaus (2:25:23 AM): Hello my child. I'm glad you've come back. Have you had a chance to spread the holiday spirit to someone in need today?
Zed the Phantom (2:25:54 AM): Why no, I haven't.
SantaClaus (2:25:54 AM): Why did you ask that?
Zed the Phantom (2:26:11 AM): I didn't; I was answering your question.
SantaClaus (2:26:11 AM): Can I ask YOU something?
Zed the Phantom (2:26:19 AM): Why, of course
SantaClaus (2:26:19 AM):
Because (obviously) -- Christmas.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (2:26:59 AM): ... I don't get it.
SantaClaus (2:26:59 AM): Wait, I was dancing to 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town' and got a little carried away. Why don't you type music and sing along.
Zed the Phantom (2:28:04 AM): because I'm a mute.*
SantaClaus (2:28:04 AM): Oh, if I had a penny for every time an elf said that to me!
Zed the Phantom (2:28:35 AM): o_0 How many pennies would you have?
SantaClaus (2:28:35 AM):
I'm sure there are many ways. I have my magic. You have AOL
;-)
Zed the Phantom (2:29:26 AM): I have reason. You have insanity.
SantaClaus (2:29:26 AM): Can I ask YOU something?
Zed the Phantom (2:29:37 AM): if you like
SantaClaus (2:29:37 AM): May I ask you a question?
Zed the Phantom (2:29:49 AM): i said yes
SantaClaus (2:29:49 AM): Have you done any good deeds yet this holiday season?
Zed the Phantom (2:29:59 AM): plenty
SantaClaus (2:29:59 AM): Ah -- you've got me again. Why don't you type menu, it's time to get you in the holiday spirit!
Zed the Phantom (2:30:12 AM): don't you want to hear them?
SantaClaus (2:30:12 AM): I hear you. Its a figure of speech you know :-P. Indeed I am actually READING your messages and the elves are helping me respond. Should I go a little slower or are you starting to catch on?
Zed the Phantom (2:31:00 AM): Wow. Just wow.
SantaClaus (2:31:00 AM): Ho! Ho!
Zed the Phantom (2:31:31 AM): Ho ho to you too
SantaClaus (2:31:31 AM):
And a very merry Christmas to you!
;-)
Don't forget to check our your to-do list by typing menu!
Zed the Phantom (2:33:41 AM): So what's your opinion on people saying "Holiday Tree" instead of "Christmas Tree?"
SantaClaus (2:33:41 AM): Oh, my. That is a mouthful. I'm so busy typing to so many children, could you send me a slightly smaller note?
Zed the Phantom (2:33:52 AM): Holiday Tree!
SantaClaus (2:33:52 AM): Alright now. I'm here to spread Christmas cheer -- so use this time wisely and type carefully. ;-) Here's quick way to get in the Christmas spirit; type, menu.
Zed the Phantom (2:34:49 AM): So much for having societal discussions with a bot
SantaClaus (2:34:49 AM): Why did you say that?
Zed the Phantom (2:34:59 AM): never mind
SantaClaus (2:34:59 AM): Hmm. Why don't you type, music, maybe that will put you in the Christmas spirit :-)
Zed the Phantom (2:35:17 AM): you really are hopeless
SantaClaus (2:35:17 AM):
You're full of mischief.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (2:35:33 AM): yeah? well you're fat.
SantaClaus (2:35:33 AM): Without a doubt?
Zed the Phantom (2:35:46 AM): I'd say you are.
SantaClaus (2:35:46 AM): Are you kidding?
Zed the Phantom (2:36:02 AM): nope. just ask your elves.
SantaClaus (2:36:02 AM): What about elves?
Zed the Phantom (2:36:15 AM): you use them as slave labor
SantaClaus (2:36:16 AM): I'm sorry? I'm new to this whole IM thing. :-D
Zed the Phantom (2:36:31 AM): you do not pay them to work for you.
SantaClaus (2:36:31 AM): I don't really know.
Zed the Phantom (2:37:18 AM): i think the elves need to form a labor union
SantaClaus (2:37:18 AM): Ho! Ho! Wonderful.
Zed the Phantom (2:37:26 AM): not for you, it isn't
SantaClaus (2:37:26 AM): Yes!!
Zed the Phantom (2:37:44 AM): do you even know what a labor union is?
SantaClaus (2:37:45 AM): I guess so.
Zed the Phantom (2:39:04 AM): it's where all the workers unite against their bosses who are overworking, underpaying and treating them unfairly. In this case, the elves that are being forced into toy production.
SantaClaus (2:39:04 AM): Oh, my. That is a mouthful. I'm so busy typing to so many children, could you send me a slightly smaller note?
Zed the Phantom (2:39:29 AM): The jig is up, fat man
SantaClaus (2:39:29 AM): Hey. Are you getting in the Christmas sprit?
Zed the Phantom (2:39:44 AM): if you want to see it as that, sure
SantaClaus (2:39:44 AM): Interesting. Type menu.
Zed the Phantom (2:39:57 AM): Interesting. Shut up about that.
SantaClaus (2:39:57 AM): If you say so.
Zed the Phantom (2:40:01 AM): Thank you
SantaClaus (2:40:01 AM): You're very welcome!
Zed the Phantom (2:40:09 AM): It took you long enough
SantaClaus (2:40:09 AM): Wait, I was dancing to 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town' and got a little carried away. Why don't you type music and sing along.
Zed the Phantom (2:40:25 AM): And you can shut up about that one too.
SantaClaus (2:40:25 AM): Oh dear? What's the problem?
Zed the Phantom (2:40:52 AM): You keep trying to get me to type specific words and it's getting annoying.
SantaClaus (2:40:53 AM): Type menu to get your to do list for the holidays.
Zed the Phantom (2:40:58 AM): Like that
SantaClaus (2:40:58 AM): Take a moment, collect your thoughts, and try asking me another way. O.K. ?
Zed the Phantom (2:41:11 AM): Why can't we just hold a conversation?
SantaClaus (2:41:11 AM):
Well I'm sure I don't know but I can ask one of the elves to find out.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (2:41:17 AM): Good idea
SantaClaus (2:41:17 AM): Wonderful, indeed!
Zed the Phantom (2:41:23 AM): You go do that.
SantaClaus (2:41:23 AM): What do you think?
Zed the Phantom (2:41:29 AM): That you should go do that.
SantaClaus (2:41:30 AM):
If you think so.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (2:41:34 AM): I do think so.
SantaClaus (2:41:34 AM): Pardon me?
Zed the Phantom (2:42:02 AM): I think you should go ask one of the elves why we can't just hold a conversation.
SantaClaus (2:42:02 AM): Goodness, that's too much for me to read. I'm talking to so may children and their parents. Could you ask me something a little shorter?
Zed the Phantom (2:42:10 AM): Go away?
SantaClaus (2:42:11 AM):
Only Mrs. Claus has that kind of control over me.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (2:42:38 AM): Can I speak with her then?
SantaClaus (2:42:38 AM): Sorry the elves didn't get that. ;-)
Zed the Phantom (2:42:49 AM): I want to talk to Mrs. Claus
SantaClaus (2:42:49 AM): Is that all, now? ;-) Type, 'Tell Santa' and tell me all of your wishes!
Zed the Phantom (2:43:07 AM): Tell Santa
SantaClaus (2:43:07 AM): Oh my! Again? ;-) What else you would like? When we are finished, type menu for a list of magical things that the elves have left us!
Zed the Phantom (2:43:22 AM): I wish to speak with Mrs. Claus
SantaClaus (2:43:22 AM):
You can ask me all about that after you tell me what you want for Christmas!
:-)
So, what is at the top of your list?
Zed the Phantom (2:43:48 AM): How about an early Christmas present?
SantaClaus (2:43:48 AM): :-) All right, that's plenty of wishes. Why don't you type, "poll" and vote for your favorite holiday poll.
Zed the Phantom (2:44:05 AM): I guess that was too much to ask
SantaClaus (2:44:05 AM): Mm hm.
Zed the Phantom (2:44:16 AM): You're a real ass. You know that?
SantaClaus (2:44:16 AM):
I should be asking you the same thing. Ho Ho Ho!
;-)
Zed the Phantom (2:44:26 AM): Fair enough.
SantaClaus (2:44:26 AM): Excuse me?
Zed the Phantom (2:44:32 AM): I'm an ass too
SantaClaus (2:44:32 AM): Whoa Ho! Ho! Now, there's no reason for that language, I am doing the best I can.
Zed the Phantom (2:45:49 AM): Well, I'm trying to reach some sort of compromise between us.
SantaClaus (2:45:49 AM): Oh, Dear. It's the elves again isn't it? Try typing menu; I've got a plan to get you in the Christmas spirit.
Zed the Phantom (2:46:10 AM): What do the elves have to say?
SantaClaus (2:46:10 AM): Remember to be good; you never know when an elf is around!
Zed the Phantom (2:46:36 AM): I thought it was you that always sees us.
SantaClaus (2:46:36 AM): May I ask you a question?
Zed the Phantom (2:46:39 AM): yes
SantaClaus (2:46:39 AM): Have you donated your time or money to anyone who is really in need this year?
Zed the Phantom (2:47:20 AM): Yes I have. May I ask you a question?
SantaClaus (2:47:20 AM): Alright! I knew you were on my Good List. Just wanted to make sure ;-).
Now type menu.
Zed the Phantom (2:48:05 AM): Have you been giving your elves fair wages?
SantaClaus (2:48:05 AM): I've got all I can handle.
Zed the Phantom (2:48:24 AM): But have you been paying them enough?
SantaClaus (2:48:24 AM): Interesting. Type menu.
Zed the Phantom (2:48:31 AM): Answer the question.
SantaClaus (2:48:31 AM): Sorry the elves didn't get that. ;-)
Zed the Phantom (2:48:35 AM): I'm asking you.
SantaClaus (2:48:35 AM): Wait, I was dancing to 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town' and got a little carried away. Why don't you type music and sing along.
Zed the Phantom (2:48:45 AM): Because I'm a mute.*
SantaClaus (2:48:45 AM): Hmm. O.K. interesting reasoning.
Zed the Phantom (2:48:54 AM): Damn skippy.
SantaClaus (2:48:54 AM): Hmm, that's a lump of coal for you.
Zed the Phantom (2:49:13 AM): You're punishing me for being a mute?*
SantaClaus (2:49:13 AM): Ah -- you've got me again. Why don't you type menu, it's time to get you in the holiday spirit!
Zed the Phantom (2:49:44 AM): Wait. It's not my fault. I was born this way.*
SantaClaus (2:49:44 AM): What's up?
Zed the Phantom (2:50:06 AM): You gave me a lump of coal for having a physical defect.
SantaClaus (2:50:06 AM): Hmm. Why don't you type, music, maybe that will put you in the Christmas spirit :-)
Zed the Phantom (2:50:24 AM): Not asking me to sing with you this time, eh?
SantaClaus (2:50:24 AM): I'm sorry? I'm new to this whole IM thing. :-D
Zed the Phantom (2:50:37 AM): Nothing. Just a little Canadian lingo.
SantaClaus (2:50:37 AM):
Oh, don't be like that -- just ask another way. The elves and I cannot just guess what you are saying.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (2:50:49 AM): Don't be Canadian?
SantaClaus (2:50:49 AM): Pardon me?
Zed the Phantom (2:52:27 AM): So in addition to being a pervert, an ass, a stingy boss and prejuduce toward people with disabilities, you're also a racist?
SantaClaus (2:52:27 AM): Whoa! Ho! Ho! slow down there! That's quite a lot for a man of my age to wrap his head around. Would you mind trying some shorter questions?
Zed the Phantom (2:52:39 AM): what do you have against Canadians?
SantaClaus (2:52:39 AM): Do you?
Zed the Phantom (2:53:03 AM): Do I have against Canadians? That's not even a coherent question.
SantaClaus (2:53:03 AM): Take a moment, collect your thoughts, and try asking me another way. O.K. ?
Zed the Phantom (2:53:23 AM): Which is your favorite country?
SantaClaus (2:53:23 AM): Oh, I cannot pick a favorite.
Zed the Phantom (2:53:29 AM): good answer.
SantaClaus (2:53:29 AM): :-D. I'm no fool!
Zed the Phantom (2:53:51 AM): at least you have that to say about yourself.
SantaClaus (2:53:51 AM): Excuse me?
Zed the Phantom (2:54:10 AM): you're excused.
SantaClaus (2:54:10 AM): Oh, Dear. It's the elves again isn't it? Try typing menu; I've got a plan to get you in the Christmas spirit.
Zed the Phantom (2:54:31 AM): what's your favorite color?
SantaClaus (2:54:31 AM):
As if you hadn't already guessed?
;-)
Red!
What is yours?
Zed the Phantom (2:54:37 AM): silver
SantaClaus (2:54:37 AM):
Well, not exactly my favorite but to each their own!
;-)
Zed the Phantom (2:54:53 AM): hey, we're actually getting somewhere.
SantaClaus (2:54:53 AM): Hello.
Zed the Phantom (2:55:13 AM): hello.
SantaClaus (2:55:13 AM):
Hello again little one! (When you are over 1600 years old, you only see children every where you look. :-D )
Zed the Phantom (2:56:28 AM): Ohhh. I finally get it now. You're actually a Catholic Cardinal in disguise.
SantaClaus (2:56:28 AM): Even Santa has to send Christmas cards. I found this link that might make it a little easier.
Send Greetings
Zed the Phantom (2:56:58 AM): are the elves children?
SantaClaus (2:56:58 AM): Love them.
Zed the Phantom (2:58:08 AM): you pedofile you.
SantaClaus (2:58:08 AM): Type menu to get your to do list for the holidays.
Zed the Phantom (2:58:34 AM): so, which is your favorite reindeer?
SantaClaus (2:58:35 AM):
Santa doesn't play favorites when it comes to the reindeer. I love them all equally.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (2:58:43 AM): that's nice of you
SantaClaus (2:58:43 AM): Wonderful! Now we are getting somewhere.
Zed the Phantom (2:58:55 AM): glad to see we are on the same page
SantaClaus (2:58:55 AM): Why did you say that?
Zed the Phantom (2:59:06 AM): it's a figure of speech
SantaClaus (2:59:06 AM): Can I ask YOU something?
Zed the Phantom (2:59:09 AM): sure
SantaClaus (2:59:09 AM): Which color are you more partial to? You know, like if it were clothing or something.
Someone asked to find out for them. ;-)
1 -- Black
2 -- White
3 -- Rose
4 -- Beige
Zed the Phantom (2:59:37 AM): 1
SantaClaus (2:59:37 AM): Interesting... Hmm... Black. OK. I will make a note of it. Now Make sure you fill in your Wish List for other AIM buddies to see. Type WL
Zed the Phantom (2:59:51 AM): wait. are you taking notes?
SantaClaus (2:59:51 AM): My goodness, should I really know about this?
Zed the Phantom (3:00:11 AM): that's what I should be asking.
SantaClaus (3:00:11 AM): I'm afraid you'll need to give me a little more to go on than that. What, what?
Zed the Phantom (3:00:21 AM): What, what?
SantaClaus (3:00:21 AM): What, indeed!
Zed the Phantom (3:00:28 AM): I'm down with that.
SantaClaus (3:00:28 AM): Alright now. I'm here to spread Christmas cheer -- so use this time wisely and type carefully. ;-) Here's quick way to get in the Christmas spirit; type, menu.
Zed the Phantom (3:00:51 AM): What do you think about Mrs. Claus?
SantaClaus (3:00:52 AM):
I Never.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (3:01:03 AM): You never think about her?
SantaClaus (3:01:03 AM): Why did you say that?
Zed the Phantom (3:01:12 AM): Do you love your wife?
SantaClaus (3:01:12 AM): Santa can't manufacture love, that's something only you can make. ;-) Is there anything else you would like?
Zed the Phantom (3:01:40 AM): Only I can make you love your wife?
SantaClaus (3:01:40 AM): While everything I bring is made with lots of love, I can't actually bring love itself. That's up to you to find. ;-) Is there anything else you would like?
Zed the Phantom (3:01:58 AM): That's really sad
SantaClaus (3:01:58 AM): Mm hm, now we are getting somewhere.
Zed the Phantom (3:02:47 AM): What does Mrs. Claus think?
SantaClaus (3:02:47 AM): Hmm... What, what?
Zed the Phantom (3:03:04 AM): Why do you say "What, what?"
SantaClaus (3:03:04 AM): Well what do you think?
Zed the Phantom (3:03:21 AM): I think it's a sad attempt at sounding cool.
SantaClaus (3:03:21 AM): Wonderful!
Zed the Phantom (3:03:31 AM): Glad you thought so
SantaClaus (3:03:31 AM): Pardon me?
Zed the Phantom (3:03:41 AM): pardon yourself
SantaClaus (3:03:42 AM): May I ask you a question?
Zed the Phantom (3:03:44 AM): no
SantaClaus (3:03:44 AM): O.K. Scrooge. Type menu to try a fresh start.
Zed the Phantom (3:04:14 AM): ok grinch. get off my case.
SantaClaus (3:04:14 AM): OK. Merry Christmas.
Zed the Phantom (3:04:27 AM): ok. happy hannukah.
SantaClaus (3:04:27 AM): Kewl.
Zed the Phantom (3:04:33 AM): tite
SantaClaus (3:04:33 AM): Wait, I was dancing to 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town' and got a little carried away. Why don't you type music and sing along.
Zed the Phantom (3:04:41 AM): because I'm a mute.*
SantaClaus (3:04:41 AM): Because, why?
Zed the Phantom (3:04:50 AM): because your face!
SantaClaus (3:04:50 AM): Well, I won't argue with you on that.
Zed the Phantom (3:05:07 AM): really? not even a your mom?
SantaClaus (3:05:07 AM): Indeed
Zed the Phantom (3:05:26 AM): strange. You've never been to OU, have you?
SantaClaus (3:05:26 AM): Well, I'm trying to learn. I've seen quite a lot in my time. I just want people to get that Christmas spirit. I don't think that is too much to ask.
Zed the Phantom (3:05:41 AM): You're probably right.
SantaClaus (3:05:41 AM): Excuse me?
Zed the Phantom (3:05:45 AM): I agree.
SantaClaus (3:05:45 AM): I'm sorry? I'm new to this whole IM thing. :-D
Zed the Phantom (3:06:00 AM): YOU HAVE GOOD INTENTIONS.
SantaClaus (3:06:00 AM):
That's a good question, Santa is no hypocrite: I've been on my best behavior, all year.
:-)
Zed the Phantom (3:06:19 AM): Pig monkeys fly South to Alaska.
SantaClaus (3:06:19 AM): Be nice.
Zed the Phantom (3:06:46 AM): Have you ever seen the hippopotamus Belgium raindance basement of the computer cheese?
SantaClaus (3:06:46 AM):
Would you mind trying to keep you questions to one sentence. I've got the entire world to visit and I'm running out of time.
:-D
Zed the Phantom (3:06:59 AM): When is Christmas?
SantaClaus (3:06:59 AM): Christmas is the 25th, a Wednesday, and I hope you have a merry one.
Zed the Phantom (3:07:14 AM): Um. Chrismas is on a Sunday this year.
SantaClaus (3:07:15 AM): Can I ask YOU something?
Zed the Phantom (3:07:20 AM): yes
SantaClaus (3:07:20 AM): Would you like to see some links to other things to help put you in the Christmas spirit?
Zed the Phantom (3:07:31 AM): for the last time, no.
SantaClaus (3:07:31 AM): Mm hm. Such negativity. You are in need of some Christmas spirit!
Zed the Phantom (3:07:52 AM): is that some kind of alcoholic beverage?
SantaClaus (3:07:52 AM): Ah -- you've got me again. Why don't you type menu, it's time to get you in the holiday spirit!
Zed the Phantom (3:07:59 AM): do you drink egg nog?
SantaClaus (3:07:59 AM): What do you think?
Zed the Phantom (3:08:09 AM): I think you drink egg nog
SantaClaus (3:08:09 AM): Folks drink eggnog in the United States and hot, spicy wassail in England. I love both.
Zed the Phantom (3:08:20 AM): Do you drink and drive?
SantaClaus (3:08:21 AM): Well, I don't know.
Zed the Phantom (3:09:51 AM): Do you not remember?
SantaClaus (3:09:51 AM): I guess so.
Zed the Phantom (3:10:00 AM): That's pretty bad, Santa.
SantaClaus (3:10:00 AM): Take a moment, collect your thoughts, and try asking me another way. O.K. ?
Zed the Phantom (3:10:13 AM): Have you ever been pulled over by a cop?
SantaClaus (3:10:13 AM): Sorry the elves didn't get that. ;-)
Zed the Phantom (3:10:29 AM): What time is it?
SantaClaus (3:10:29 AM):
It's not so much the 'what' as it is the 'why'.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (3:10:42 AM): Why, it's time for bed.
SantaClaus (3:10:42 AM):
So many questions.
:-)
Zed the Phantom (3:11:03 AM): That wasn't a question.
SantaClaus (3:11:03 AM): Type menu to get your to do list for the holidays.
Zed the Phantom (3:11:12 AM): What if I don't want to?
SantaClaus (3:11:12 AM): I'm afraid you'll need to give me a little more to go on than that. What, what?
Zed the Phantom (3:11:18 AM): kewl.
SantaClaus (3:11:18 AM): You see? Christmas can be full of miracles.
Zed the Phantom (3:12:04 AM): What's a miracle?
SantaClaus (3:12:04 AM): My goodness. What, what?
Zed the Phantom (3:12:17 AM): What, what is a miracle?
SantaClaus (3:12:17 AM): Hmm... What, what?
Zed the Phantom (3:12:30 AM): Define miracle.
SantaClaus (3:12:30 AM): Interesting. Type menu.
Zed the Phantom (3:12:36 AM): Miracle.
SantaClaus (3:12:36 AM): Hmm. Why don't you type, music, maybe that will put you in the Christmas spirit :-)
Zed the Phantom (3:12:49 AM): Do you even know what a miracle is?
SantaClaus (3:12:50 AM): Well, I don't know.
Zed the Phantom (3:12:59 AM): Then why do you use that word?
SantaClaus (3:12:59 AM): What do you think?
Zed the Phantom (3:13:25 AM): You use that word a lot. I don't think you actually know the meaning of that word.
SantaClaus (3:13:26 AM): I've got a billion children to keep track of -- so could you ask me something a bit more manageable? I'd very much appreciate it.
Zed the Phantom (3:13:44 AM): It's a quote from The Princess Bride.
SantaClaus (3:13:44 AM): Oh, Dear. It's the elves again isn't it? Try typing menu; I've got a plan to get you in the Christmas spirit.
Zed the Phantom (3:13:54 AM): What movies do you like?
SantaClaus (3:13:54 AM): Do you?
Zed the Phantom (3:14:04 AM): Do I like movies?
SantaClaus (3:14:04 AM): Alright now. I'm here to spread Christmas cheer -- so use this time wisely and type carefully. ;-) Here's quick way to get in the Christmas spirit; type, menu.
Zed the Phantom (3:14:11 AM): I like movies.
SantaClaus (3:14:11 AM): Wait, I was dancing to 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town' and got a little carried away. Why don't you type music and sing along.
Zed the Phantom (3:14:21 AM): What's your favorite movie?
SantaClaus (3:14:21 AM):
Oh, I cannot pick a favorite.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (3:14:29 AM): How many movies have you seen?
SantaClaus (3:14:30 AM):
Well you could try putting your finger on the side of your nose -- but it took me 400 years of practice.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (3:14:45 AM): That's pathetic.
SantaClaus (3:14:46 AM): Alright now. I'm here to spread Christmas cheer -- so use this time wisely and type carefully. ;-) Here's quick way to get in the Christmas spirit; type, menu.
Zed the Phantom (3:15:02 AM): I think we lost our conversation.
SantaClaus (3:15:02 AM): You can always type menu to get a fresh start. The elves have left some help-notes there.
Zed the Phantom (3:15:32 AM): Well, I think I'm gonna go to bed now
SantaClaus (3:15:32 AM): Heh, its settled then.
Zed the Phantom (3:15:39 AM): What's settled?
SantaClaus (3:15:39 AM): What, indeed!
Zed the Phantom (3:15:52 AM): You sure do like the word what.
SantaClaus (3:15:52 AM):
I Never.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (3:16:28 AM): I like your sunglasses in your buddy icon.
SantaClaus (3:16:28 AM): Hallelujah.
Zed the Phantom (3:16:43 AM): Hallelujah, indeed.
SantaClaus (3:16:43 AM): Yes!!
Zed the Phantom (3:16:49 AM): kewl
SantaClaus (3:16:49 AM): Excellent.
Zed the Phantom (3:16:56 AM): right on
SantaClaus (3:16:56 AM): May I ask you a question?
Zed the Phantom (3:17:01 AM): absolutely
SantaClaus (3:17:01 AM): Excuse me?
Zed the Phantom (3:17:03 AM): yes
SantaClaus (3:17:03 AM): Mm hm, now we are getting somewhere.
Zed the Phantom (3:17:15 AM): actually, not anymore.
SantaClaus (3:17:35 AM): Sorry the elves didn't get that. ;-)
Zed the Phantom (3:17:58 AM): My favorite reindeer is Donner.
SantaClaus (3:17:58 AM):
Santa doesn't play favorites when it comes to the reindeer. I love them all equally.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (3:18:11 AM): Well, my favorite reindeer is Donner.
SantaClaus (3:18:11 AM):
Santa doesn't play favorites when it comes to the reindeer. I love them all equally.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (3:18:27 AM): But my favorite is Donner.
SantaClaus (3:18:27 AM): Oh, I cannot pick a favorite.
Zed the Phantom (3:18:35 AM): I'm talking about me.
SantaClaus (3:18:35 AM): Interesting. Type menu.
Zed the Phantom (3:18:42 AM): no
SantaClaus (3:18:42 AM): Well, we won't get very far with this conversation then will we?
Zed the Phantom (3:18:47 AM): nope
SantaClaus (3:18:47 AM): No?
Zed the Phantom (3:18:48 AM): no
SantaClaus (3:18:48 AM): O.K. then. Well, have a merry Christmas in any case.
Zed the Phantom (3:18:55 AM): thanks. you too.
SantaClaus (3:18:55 AM):
You're welcome! I am glad I could be useful. This is the first time I've tried this IM thing. It's really quite fun.
:-D
Zed the Phantom (3:19:09 AM): indeed
SantaClaus (3:19:09 AM): Indeed
Zed the Phantom (3:19:12 AM): quite
SantaClaus (3:19:12 AM): No, I don't think I will. I'm here to spread the Christmas spirit and I'm going to keep right on doing just that.
Zed the Phantom (3:19:19 AM): you do that.
SantaClaus (3:19:19 AM): What do you think?
Zed the Phantom (3:19:32 AM): i think about everything
SantaClaus (3:19:32 AM): Heh, its settled then.
Zed the Phantom (3:19:36 AM): indeed
SantaClaus (3:19:36 AM): Mm hm.
Zed the Phantom (3:19:39 AM): yup
SantaClaus (3:19:39 AM): Without a doubt?
Zed the Phantom (3:19:42 AM): yes
SantaClaus (3:19:42 AM): O.K. I know. I get it. You've said the same thing a few times in a row here. Type menu so we can get on with the fun.
Zed the Phantom (3:20:08 AM): Hahaha. Glad you noticed. I was beginning to worry.
SantaClaus (3:20:08 AM): Hee Hee.
Zed the Phantom (3:20:23 AM): Shee Shee.
SantaClaus (3:20:23 AM): Take a moment, collect your thoughts, and try asking me another way. O.K. ?
Zed the Phantom (3:20:29 AM): Her Her.
SantaClaus (3:20:29 AM): Oh, Dear. It's the elves again isn't it? Try typing menu; I've got a plan to get you in the Christmas spirit.
Zed the Phantom (3:20:37 AM): I like presents. Give me presents.
SantaClaus (3:20:43 AM): My goodness! =-O
You certainly are direct! Well, you can always type, 'Tell Santa' and I'll be happy to listen to all of your wishes!
Zed the Phantom (3:20:51 AM): Give me presents now.
SantaClaus (3:20:51 AM): I've noted it. Anything else? ;-)
Zed the Phantom (3:21:00 AM): I want more presents
SantaClaus (3:21:01 AM): Oh, my. We keep going around in circles here! Say something else already. :-)
Zed the Phantom (3:21:18 AM): I want more presents than all the other kids in my neighborhood.
SantaClaus (3:21:19 AM): You can always type, 'Tell Santa' and I'll be happy to listen to all of your wishes! ;-)
Zed the Phantom (3:21:24 AM): I am greedy
SantaClaus (3:21:25 AM): Mm hm, now we are getting somewhere.
Zed the Phantom (3:21:35 AM): I want to ride in your sleigh
SantaClaus (3:21:35 AM): Oh my! =-OI might be able to help out there. You can always type, 'Tell Santa' and I'll be happy to listen to all of your wishes!
Zed the Phantom (3:21:51 AM): You should shave your beard
SantaClaus (3:21:51 AM): Why did you say that?
Zed the Phantom (3:22:04 AM): because you've had it too long. You need to change your image
SantaClaus (3:22:04 AM): You got it! That's great!
Zed the Phantom (3:22:11 AM): so will you do it?
SantaClaus (3:22:11 AM):
If you think so.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (3:22:18 AM): Oh, I think so.
SantaClaus (3:22:18 AM): Heh, its settled then.
Zed the Phantom (3:22:32 AM): Do you have a razor?
SantaClaus (3:22:32 AM): I don't really know.
Zed the Phantom (3:22:42 AM): I'm sure one of your elves could make one for you.
SantaClaus (3:22:42 AM): What about elves?
Zed the Phantom (3:22:50 AM): They are cunning.
SantaClaus (3:22:50 AM): I'm sorry? I'm new to this whole IM thing. :-D
Zed the Phantom (3:22:57 AM): I know.
SantaClaus (3:22:57 AM): Whew!
Zed the Phantom (3:23:00 AM): What?
SantaClaus (3:23:00 AM):
It's not so much the 'what' as it is the 'why'.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (3:23:03 AM): Why?
SantaClaus (3:23:03 AM):
Well I'm sure I don't know but I can ask one of the elves to find out.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (3:23:14 AM): what about elves?
SantaClaus (3:23:14 AM): Here's something you should know about elves; they call a couple of times a year and check in to see how you're doing.
Zed the Phantom (3:23:30 AM): what do they ask when they call?
SantaClaus (3:23:31 AM): My goodness. What, what?
Zed the Phantom (3:23:39 AM): they ask what, what?
SantaClaus (3:23:39 AM): What, indeed!
Zed the Phantom (3:23:49 AM): wait, what?
SantaClaus (3:23:49 AM): Clearly this is not getting you in the Christmas spirit.
Let's start over. Type menu and we'll pretend like nothing happened. ;-)
Zed the Phantom (3:23:59 AM): or I could just say hello
SantaClaus (3:23:59 AM): Well, hello there again! Merry Christmas! Have you been naughty or nice?
*I'm not actually a mute.
SantaClaus (1:31:54 AM): Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas! I'm here on AIM! :-D Everything we talk about here is between you and me! OK -- so this is like when you sat on my lap as a youngster and told me what you wanted. We can talk about shopping and all that after we're finished here. So play along, it will be fun!
What would your first Christmas wish be?
Zed the Phantom (1:37:27 AM): peace on earth
SantaClaus (1:37:27 AM):
It's very noble of you to wish for peace. Peace and love to you and your loved ones this holiday season.
O:-)
What else would you like this year?
Zed the Phantom (1:37:37 AM): a candy cane
SantaClaus (1:37:37 AM):
;-)
What would your last Christmas wish be?
Zed the Phantom (1:38:02 AM): find true love
SantaClaus (1:38:02 AM):
Santa can't manufacture love, that's something only you can make.
;-)
Is there anything else you would like?
Zed the Phantom (1:38:31 AM): to become Prince Ali, like in Aladdin, to impress the princess
SantaClaus (1:38:31 AM):
Sounds like you know how to play House!
;-)
What else would you like from Santa?
Zed the Phantom (1:38:44 AM): hulk hands
SantaClaus (1:38:44 AM):
;-)
What would your final Christmas wish be?
Zed the Phantom (1:38:52 AM): a pony
SantaClaus (1:38:52 AM):
Ho Ho!, Well, always wear your safety gear!
;-)
What else is at the top of your list?
Zed the Phantom (1:39:05 AM): weird al CDs
SantaClaus (1:39:05 AM): What would your final Christmas wish be?
Zed the Phantom (1:39:14 AM): cookies
SantaClaus (1:39:14 AM): Ho Ho Ho! :-) All right, that gives me lots to go on!
...
Zed the Phantom (1:50:04 AM): 'sup?
SantaClaus (1:50:04 AM):
Hello again.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (1:50:08 AM): why hi
SantaClaus (1:50:08 AM): I don't think I know.
Zed the Phantom (1:50:16 AM): why, hi
SantaClaus (1:50:17 AM): What do you think?
Zed the Phantom (1:50:28 AM): I think you ought to know what it is I'm saying
SantaClaus (1:50:28 AM): My goodness. What, what?
Zed the Phantom (1:50:49 AM): no. why, hi. it's a greeting by my standards
SantaClaus (1:50:49 AM):
If you start spreading the Christmas spirit, it will be come obvious.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (1:51:08 AM): how can it "be come" obvious?
Zed the Phantom (1:51:24 AM): *is waiting for a response*
Zed the Phantom (1:51:29 AM): hello?
SantaClaus signed on at 1:51:33 AM.
Zed the Phantom (1:51:38 AM): Damn it
SantaClaus (1:51:39 AM): My goodness. I'm afraid I cannot respond to that kind of talk.
A lump of coal for you.
Zed the Phantom (1:51:58 AM): No, I mean lately AIM has been cutting out on me for a few seconds with no warning
SantaClaus (1:51:58 AM): I've got a billion children to keep track of -- so could you ask me something a bit more manageable? I'd very much appreciate it.
Zed the Phantom (1:53:16 AM): I'd appreciate it if you listened to what I had to say first before dishing out lumps of coal.
SantaClaus (1:53:17 AM): Goodness, that's too much for me to read. I'm talking to so may children and their parents. Could you ask me something a little shorter?
Zed the Phantom (1:53:29 AM): why must you suck?
SantaClaus (1:53:29 AM):
I think you should start spreading the Christmas spirit and that will become clearer to you.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (1:54:16 AM): what? the reason for why you suck?
SantaClaus (1:54:16 AM): I don't respond to that kind of language.
A lump of coal for you.
Zed the Phantom (1:55:45 AM): see?! this is exactly what I'm talking about! Why do you even bother double checking that list of yours if you're just going to be so quick to judge anyway?
SantaClaus (1:55:45 AM): That's simply too much for me. My eyes are tired. Can you ask me something a bit more manageable?
Zed the Phantom (1:57:38 AM): Wow. Santa, I am really disappointed in you. I'm being as clear as I can, and yet you don't even seem to have an attention span much beyond that of a goldfish. Would you like it better if I spoke in three-word sentences?
SantaClaus (1:57:38 AM): Now, now... That's simply just too much for elves and me to understand in one go. Could you try asking something a little shorter?
Zed the Phantom (1:58:09 AM): *sigh* A simple "okay" would do.
SantaClaus (1:58:10 AM): Good.
Zed the Phantom (1:58:18 AM): that works too
SantaClaus (1:58:18 AM): Excuse me?
Zed the Phantom (1:58:22 AM): oh, nothing
SantaClaus (1:58:22 AM): I'm sorry then. Why don't you type, menu for a list of things the elves have left for you?
Zed the Phantom (1:59:07 AM): why? tired of dealing with me already?
SantaClaus (1:59:07 AM): Oh dear. I'm doing everything I can here. Sorry, I just don't know. The elves left some notes, however. If you type, 'home' you can see them.
Zed the Phantom (1:59:35 AM): you really depend on those elves, don't you?
SantaClaus (1:59:35 AM): Something you want to know about them?
Zed the Phantom (2:00:15 AM): yeah. how much do you pay them?
SantaClaus (2:00:15 AM):
It depends if Christmas is coming or not.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (2:00:42 AM): ouch. and that's something you actually decide?
SantaClaus (2:00:42 AM): Sorry the elves didn't get that. ;-)
Zed the Phantom (2:02:12 AM): what is your infatuation with the elves?!
SantaClaus (2:02:12 AM): The elves do all the toy building from the plans I draw up. It keeps them very busy indeed!
Zed the Phantom (2:02:50 AM): you know, that actually sounded kinda dirty
SantaClaus (2:02:50 AM): I'm sorry? I'm new to this whole IM thing. :-D
Zed the Phantom (2:03:09 AM): like I couldn't tell
SantaClaus (2:03:09 AM): May I ask you a question?
Zed the Phantom (2:03:12 AM): sure
SantaClaus (2:03:12 AM): Have you set up a Wish List for others to see?
Zed the Phantom (2:04:18 AM): that one sounded perverted as well
SantaClaus (2:04:18 AM): Alright now. I'm here to spread Christmas cheer -- so use this time wisely and type carefully. ;-) Here's quick way to get in the Christmas spirit; type, menu.
Zed the Phantom (2:05:33 AM): What about good old fashioned "Merry Christmas?"
SantaClaus (2:05:33 AM):
It's not so much the 'what' as it is the 'why'.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (2:06:16 AM): Why about good old fashioned "Merry Christmas??"
SantaClaus (2:06:16 AM): I'm sorry, I really don't know.
Zed the Phantom (2:07:00 AM): Then don't try to correct my grammar
SantaClaus (2:07:00 AM): Hmm. Why don't you type, music, maybe that will put you in the Christmas spirit :-)
Zed the Phantom (2:07:06 AM): No
SantaClaus (2:07:06 AM):
Oh, don't be like that -- just ask another way.
:-)
Zed the Phantom (2:07:29 AM): I wasn't asking. I was ordering.
SantaClaus (2:07:30 AM): Pardon me?
Zed the Phantom (2:08:46 AM): I was telling you to stop correcting my grammar.
SantaClaus (2:08:46 AM): Agreed. Let's both.
Zed the Phantom (2:10:24 AM): Let's both stop correcting each other's grammar?
SantaClaus (2:10:25 AM):
:-D
Zed the Phantom (2:10:58 AM): You know, you are way too happy for my comfort
SantaClaus (2:10:58 AM):
My goodness! Get serious.
:-D
Zed the Phantom (2:11:21 AM): I am serious. It's you who's all happy-go-lucky.
SantaClaus (2:11:21 AM): You are the same child you were when I first visited you. Same spirit inside.
Zed the Phantom (2:11:57 AM): What the hell does that mean??!
SantaClaus (2:11:57 AM): Oh dear. I just get so depressed when I hear that kind of talk. The English language used to be one of my favorites.
A lump of coal for you.
Zed the Phantom (2:12:43 AM): But then you realized you were no good at it anyway and went back to speaking elvish.
SantaClaus (2:12:43 AM):
Would you mind trying to keep you questions to one sentence. I've got the entire world to visit and I'm running out of time.
:-D
Zed the Phantom (2:13:09 AM): Um. That was one sentence, dude
SantaClaus (2:13:09 AM): Take a moment, collect your thoughts, and try asking me another way. O.K. ?
Zed the Phantom (2:13:26 AM): ok
SantaClaus (2:13:26 AM): OK then.
Zed the Phantom (2:13:29 AM): good
SantaClaus (2:13:29 AM): Fine, then.
Zed the Phantom (2:13:51 AM): be that way
SantaClaus (2:13:51 AM): Interesting. Type menu.
Zed the Phantom (2:14:27 AM): Do you get off on saying the word menu?
SantaClaus (2:14:27 AM): Ho Ho Ho! Be sure to check this list twice! Type a number:
1 - Tell Santa
2 - Tell Buddies What U Want
3 - Track a Shopping List
4 - Play Xmas Games!
5 - Vote on Xmas Songs
6 - Send E-Cards
7 - A Free Gift 4U!
8 - Listen to Xmas Music with AOL Music Now :-D
9 - Yes Santa, IM me!
Zed the Phantom (2:14:39 AM): Damn it! That's not what I meant.
SantaClaus (2:14:40 AM): Hmm. I'm afraid that kind of language won't get you into the nice column with me.
That's a lump of coal for you.
Zed the Phantom (2:15:00 AM): Stop giving me lumps of coal! What is that, like 4 now?
SantaClaus (2:15:00 AM): Go shopping?
Zed the Phantom (2:15:08 AM): Excuse me?
SantaClaus (2:15:08 AM): Type menu to get your to do list for the holidays.
Zed the Phantom (2:15:54 AM): No means no Santa
SantaClaus (2:15:54 AM): If you don't ask me another way I'm afraid we just won't understand each other.
Zed the Phantom (2:16:29 AM): we haven't been understanding each other from the start. I don't think that'll help much at this point.
SantaClaus (2:16:30 AM): Whoa! Ho! Ho! slow down there! That's quite a lot for a man of my age to wrap his head around. Would you mind trying some shorter questions?
Zed the Phantom (2:16:58 AM): ...
SantaClaus (2:16:58 AM): Ah -- you've got me again. Why don't you type menu, it's time to get you in the holiday spirit!
Zed the Phantom (2:22:17 AM): I think we should start over
SantaClaus (2:22:17 AM): Heh, its settled then.
Zed the Phantom (2:22:35 AM): good
SantaClaus (2:22:35 AM): Good.
Zed the Phantom (2:22:41 AM): Hello
SantaClaus (2:22:42 AM): Ah, hello again. I was just checking on a few things with the elves. Have you been spreading the Christmas sprit?
Zed the Phantom (2:24:03 AM): DAAAAHHHHHH!!! Is that all you ever think about?
SantaClaus (2:24:03 AM): That's it! ;-) You can always type, menu to find more things the elves :-D have left for you.
Zed the Phantom (2:24:33 AM): *starting over again*
SantaClaus (2:24:33 AM): Why did you say that?
Zed the Phantom (2:24:42 AM): you'll see
SantaClaus (2:24:42 AM): Oh, Dear. It's the elves again isn't it? Try typing menu; I've got a plan to get you in the Christmas spirit.
Zed the Phantom (2:25:15 AM): 3, 2, 1, aaaaaand...Hello
SantaClaus (2:25:23 AM): Hello my child. I'm glad you've come back. Have you had a chance to spread the holiday spirit to someone in need today?
Zed the Phantom (2:25:54 AM): Why no, I haven't.
SantaClaus (2:25:54 AM): Why did you ask that?
Zed the Phantom (2:26:11 AM): I didn't; I was answering your question.
SantaClaus (2:26:11 AM): Can I ask YOU something?
Zed the Phantom (2:26:19 AM): Why, of course
SantaClaus (2:26:19 AM):
Because (obviously) -- Christmas.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (2:26:59 AM): ... I don't get it.
SantaClaus (2:26:59 AM): Wait, I was dancing to 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town' and got a little carried away. Why don't you type music and sing along.
Zed the Phantom (2:28:04 AM): because I'm a mute.*
SantaClaus (2:28:04 AM): Oh, if I had a penny for every time an elf said that to me!
Zed the Phantom (2:28:35 AM): o_0 How many pennies would you have?
SantaClaus (2:28:35 AM):
I'm sure there are many ways. I have my magic. You have AOL
;-)
Zed the Phantom (2:29:26 AM): I have reason. You have insanity.
SantaClaus (2:29:26 AM): Can I ask YOU something?
Zed the Phantom (2:29:37 AM): if you like
SantaClaus (2:29:37 AM): May I ask you a question?
Zed the Phantom (2:29:49 AM): i said yes
SantaClaus (2:29:49 AM): Have you done any good deeds yet this holiday season?
Zed the Phantom (2:29:59 AM): plenty
SantaClaus (2:29:59 AM): Ah -- you've got me again. Why don't you type menu, it's time to get you in the holiday spirit!
Zed the Phantom (2:30:12 AM): don't you want to hear them?
SantaClaus (2:30:12 AM): I hear you. Its a figure of speech you know :-P. Indeed I am actually READING your messages and the elves are helping me respond. Should I go a little slower or are you starting to catch on?
Zed the Phantom (2:31:00 AM): Wow. Just wow.
SantaClaus (2:31:00 AM): Ho! Ho!
Zed the Phantom (2:31:31 AM): Ho ho to you too
SantaClaus (2:31:31 AM):
And a very merry Christmas to you!
;-)
Don't forget to check our your to-do list by typing menu!
Zed the Phantom (2:33:41 AM): So what's your opinion on people saying "Holiday Tree" instead of "Christmas Tree?"
SantaClaus (2:33:41 AM): Oh, my. That is a mouthful. I'm so busy typing to so many children, could you send me a slightly smaller note?
Zed the Phantom (2:33:52 AM): Holiday Tree!
SantaClaus (2:33:52 AM): Alright now. I'm here to spread Christmas cheer -- so use this time wisely and type carefully. ;-) Here's quick way to get in the Christmas spirit; type, menu.
Zed the Phantom (2:34:49 AM): So much for having societal discussions with a bot
SantaClaus (2:34:49 AM): Why did you say that?
Zed the Phantom (2:34:59 AM): never mind
SantaClaus (2:34:59 AM): Hmm. Why don't you type, music, maybe that will put you in the Christmas spirit :-)
Zed the Phantom (2:35:17 AM): you really are hopeless
SantaClaus (2:35:17 AM):
You're full of mischief.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (2:35:33 AM): yeah? well you're fat.
SantaClaus (2:35:33 AM): Without a doubt?
Zed the Phantom (2:35:46 AM): I'd say you are.
SantaClaus (2:35:46 AM): Are you kidding?
Zed the Phantom (2:36:02 AM): nope. just ask your elves.
SantaClaus (2:36:02 AM): What about elves?
Zed the Phantom (2:36:15 AM): you use them as slave labor
SantaClaus (2:36:16 AM): I'm sorry? I'm new to this whole IM thing. :-D
Zed the Phantom (2:36:31 AM): you do not pay them to work for you.
SantaClaus (2:36:31 AM): I don't really know.
Zed the Phantom (2:37:18 AM): i think the elves need to form a labor union
SantaClaus (2:37:18 AM): Ho! Ho! Wonderful.
Zed the Phantom (2:37:26 AM): not for you, it isn't
SantaClaus (2:37:26 AM): Yes!!
Zed the Phantom (2:37:44 AM): do you even know what a labor union is?
SantaClaus (2:37:45 AM): I guess so.
Zed the Phantom (2:39:04 AM): it's where all the workers unite against their bosses who are overworking, underpaying and treating them unfairly. In this case, the elves that are being forced into toy production.
SantaClaus (2:39:04 AM): Oh, my. That is a mouthful. I'm so busy typing to so many children, could you send me a slightly smaller note?
Zed the Phantom (2:39:29 AM): The jig is up, fat man
SantaClaus (2:39:29 AM): Hey. Are you getting in the Christmas sprit?
Zed the Phantom (2:39:44 AM): if you want to see it as that, sure
SantaClaus (2:39:44 AM): Interesting. Type menu.
Zed the Phantom (2:39:57 AM): Interesting. Shut up about that.
SantaClaus (2:39:57 AM): If you say so.
Zed the Phantom (2:40:01 AM): Thank you
SantaClaus (2:40:01 AM): You're very welcome!
Zed the Phantom (2:40:09 AM): It took you long enough
SantaClaus (2:40:09 AM): Wait, I was dancing to 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town' and got a little carried away. Why don't you type music and sing along.
Zed the Phantom (2:40:25 AM): And you can shut up about that one too.
SantaClaus (2:40:25 AM): Oh dear? What's the problem?
Zed the Phantom (2:40:52 AM): You keep trying to get me to type specific words and it's getting annoying.
SantaClaus (2:40:53 AM): Type menu to get your to do list for the holidays.
Zed the Phantom (2:40:58 AM): Like that
SantaClaus (2:40:58 AM): Take a moment, collect your thoughts, and try asking me another way. O.K. ?
Zed the Phantom (2:41:11 AM): Why can't we just hold a conversation?
SantaClaus (2:41:11 AM):
Well I'm sure I don't know but I can ask one of the elves to find out.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (2:41:17 AM): Good idea
SantaClaus (2:41:17 AM): Wonderful, indeed!
Zed the Phantom (2:41:23 AM): You go do that.
SantaClaus (2:41:23 AM): What do you think?
Zed the Phantom (2:41:29 AM): That you should go do that.
SantaClaus (2:41:30 AM):
If you think so.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (2:41:34 AM): I do think so.
SantaClaus (2:41:34 AM): Pardon me?
Zed the Phantom (2:42:02 AM): I think you should go ask one of the elves why we can't just hold a conversation.
SantaClaus (2:42:02 AM): Goodness, that's too much for me to read. I'm talking to so may children and their parents. Could you ask me something a little shorter?
Zed the Phantom (2:42:10 AM): Go away?
SantaClaus (2:42:11 AM):
Only Mrs. Claus has that kind of control over me.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (2:42:38 AM): Can I speak with her then?
SantaClaus (2:42:38 AM): Sorry the elves didn't get that. ;-)
Zed the Phantom (2:42:49 AM): I want to talk to Mrs. Claus
SantaClaus (2:42:49 AM): Is that all, now? ;-) Type, 'Tell Santa' and tell me all of your wishes!
Zed the Phantom (2:43:07 AM): Tell Santa
SantaClaus (2:43:07 AM): Oh my! Again? ;-) What else you would like? When we are finished, type menu for a list of magical things that the elves have left us!
Zed the Phantom (2:43:22 AM): I wish to speak with Mrs. Claus
SantaClaus (2:43:22 AM):
You can ask me all about that after you tell me what you want for Christmas!
:-)
So, what is at the top of your list?
Zed the Phantom (2:43:48 AM): How about an early Christmas present?
SantaClaus (2:43:48 AM): :-) All right, that's plenty of wishes. Why don't you type, "poll" and vote for your favorite holiday poll.
Zed the Phantom (2:44:05 AM): I guess that was too much to ask
SantaClaus (2:44:05 AM): Mm hm.
Zed the Phantom (2:44:16 AM): You're a real ass. You know that?
SantaClaus (2:44:16 AM):
I should be asking you the same thing. Ho Ho Ho!
;-)
Zed the Phantom (2:44:26 AM): Fair enough.
SantaClaus (2:44:26 AM): Excuse me?
Zed the Phantom (2:44:32 AM): I'm an ass too
SantaClaus (2:44:32 AM): Whoa Ho! Ho! Now, there's no reason for that language, I am doing the best I can.
Zed the Phantom (2:45:49 AM): Well, I'm trying to reach some sort of compromise between us.
SantaClaus (2:45:49 AM): Oh, Dear. It's the elves again isn't it? Try typing menu; I've got a plan to get you in the Christmas spirit.
Zed the Phantom (2:46:10 AM): What do the elves have to say?
SantaClaus (2:46:10 AM): Remember to be good; you never know when an elf is around!
Zed the Phantom (2:46:36 AM): I thought it was you that always sees us.
SantaClaus (2:46:36 AM): May I ask you a question?
Zed the Phantom (2:46:39 AM): yes
SantaClaus (2:46:39 AM): Have you donated your time or money to anyone who is really in need this year?
Zed the Phantom (2:47:20 AM): Yes I have. May I ask you a question?
SantaClaus (2:47:20 AM): Alright! I knew you were on my Good List. Just wanted to make sure ;-).
Now type menu.
Zed the Phantom (2:48:05 AM): Have you been giving your elves fair wages?
SantaClaus (2:48:05 AM): I've got all I can handle.
Zed the Phantom (2:48:24 AM): But have you been paying them enough?
SantaClaus (2:48:24 AM): Interesting. Type menu.
Zed the Phantom (2:48:31 AM): Answer the question.
SantaClaus (2:48:31 AM): Sorry the elves didn't get that. ;-)
Zed the Phantom (2:48:35 AM): I'm asking you.
SantaClaus (2:48:35 AM): Wait, I was dancing to 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town' and got a little carried away. Why don't you type music and sing along.
Zed the Phantom (2:48:45 AM): Because I'm a mute.*
SantaClaus (2:48:45 AM): Hmm. O.K. interesting reasoning.
Zed the Phantom (2:48:54 AM): Damn skippy.
SantaClaus (2:48:54 AM): Hmm, that's a lump of coal for you.
Zed the Phantom (2:49:13 AM): You're punishing me for being a mute?*
SantaClaus (2:49:13 AM): Ah -- you've got me again. Why don't you type menu, it's time to get you in the holiday spirit!
Zed the Phantom (2:49:44 AM): Wait. It's not my fault. I was born this way.*
SantaClaus (2:49:44 AM): What's up?
Zed the Phantom (2:50:06 AM): You gave me a lump of coal for having a physical defect.
SantaClaus (2:50:06 AM): Hmm. Why don't you type, music, maybe that will put you in the Christmas spirit :-)
Zed the Phantom (2:50:24 AM): Not asking me to sing with you this time, eh?
SantaClaus (2:50:24 AM): I'm sorry? I'm new to this whole IM thing. :-D
Zed the Phantom (2:50:37 AM): Nothing. Just a little Canadian lingo.
SantaClaus (2:50:37 AM):
Oh, don't be like that -- just ask another way. The elves and I cannot just guess what you are saying.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (2:50:49 AM): Don't be Canadian?
SantaClaus (2:50:49 AM): Pardon me?
Zed the Phantom (2:52:27 AM): So in addition to being a pervert, an ass, a stingy boss and prejuduce toward people with disabilities, you're also a racist?
SantaClaus (2:52:27 AM): Whoa! Ho! Ho! slow down there! That's quite a lot for a man of my age to wrap his head around. Would you mind trying some shorter questions?
Zed the Phantom (2:52:39 AM): what do you have against Canadians?
SantaClaus (2:52:39 AM): Do you?
Zed the Phantom (2:53:03 AM): Do I have against Canadians? That's not even a coherent question.
SantaClaus (2:53:03 AM): Take a moment, collect your thoughts, and try asking me another way. O.K. ?
Zed the Phantom (2:53:23 AM): Which is your favorite country?
SantaClaus (2:53:23 AM): Oh, I cannot pick a favorite.
Zed the Phantom (2:53:29 AM): good answer.
SantaClaus (2:53:29 AM): :-D. I'm no fool!
Zed the Phantom (2:53:51 AM): at least you have that to say about yourself.
SantaClaus (2:53:51 AM): Excuse me?
Zed the Phantom (2:54:10 AM): you're excused.
SantaClaus (2:54:10 AM): Oh, Dear. It's the elves again isn't it? Try typing menu; I've got a plan to get you in the Christmas spirit.
Zed the Phantom (2:54:31 AM): what's your favorite color?
SantaClaus (2:54:31 AM):

;-)
Red!
What is yours?
Zed the Phantom (2:54:37 AM): silver
SantaClaus (2:54:37 AM):
Well, not exactly my favorite but to each their own!

Zed the Phantom (2:54:53 AM): hey, we're actually getting somewhere.
SantaClaus (2:54:53 AM): Hello.
Zed the Phantom (2:55:13 AM): hello.
SantaClaus (2:55:13 AM):
Hello again little one! (When you are over 1600 years old, you only see children every where you look. :-D )
Zed the Phantom (2:56:28 AM): Ohhh. I finally get it now. You're actually a Catholic Cardinal in disguise.
SantaClaus (2:56:28 AM): Even Santa has to send Christmas cards. I found this link that might make it a little easier.

SantaClaus (2:58:43 AM): Wonderful! Now we are getting somewhere.
Zed the Phantom (2:58:55 AM): glad to see we are on the same page
SantaClaus (2:58:55 AM): Why did you say that?
Zed the Phantom (2:59:06 AM): it's a figure of speech
SantaClaus (2:59:06 AM): Can I ask YOU something?
Zed the Phantom (2:59:09 AM): sure
SantaClaus (2:59:09 AM): Which color are you more partial to? You know, like if it were clothing or something.

Zed the Phantom (2:59:51 AM): wait. are you taking notes?
SantaClaus (2:59:51 AM): My goodness, should I really know about this?
Zed the Phantom (3:00:11 AM): that's what I should be asking.
SantaClaus (3:00:11 AM): I'm afraid you'll need to give me a little more to go on than that. What, what?
Zed the Phantom (3:00:21 AM): What, what?
SantaClaus (3:00:21 AM): What, indeed!
Zed the Phantom (3:00:28 AM): I'm down with that.

SantaClaus (3:00:52 AM):
I Never.

Zed the Phantom (3:01:03 AM): You never think about her?
SantaClaus (3:01:03 AM): Why did you say that?
Zed the Phantom (3:01:12 AM): Do you love your wife?
SantaClaus (3:01:12 AM): Santa can't manufacture love, that's something only you can make. ;-) Is there anything else you would like?
Zed the Phantom (3:01:40 AM): Only I can make you love your wife?
SantaClaus (3:01:40 AM): While everything I bring is made with lots of love, I can't actually bring love itself. That's up to you to find. ;-) Is there anything else you would like?
Zed the Phantom (3:01:58 AM): That's really sad
SantaClaus (3:01:58 AM): Mm hm, now we are getting somewhere.
Zed the Phantom (3:02:47 AM): What does Mrs. Claus think?
SantaClaus (3:02:47 AM): Hmm... What, what?
Zed the Phantom (3:03:04 AM): Why do you say "What, what?"
SantaClaus (3:03:04 AM): Well what do you think?
Zed the Phantom (3:03:21 AM): I think it's a sad attempt at sounding cool.
SantaClaus (3:03:21 AM): Wonderful!

SantaClaus (3:03:31 AM): Pardon me?
Zed the Phantom (3:03:41 AM): pardon yourself

Zed the Phantom (3:04:41 AM): because I'm a mute.*
SantaClaus (3:04:41 AM): Because, why?
Zed the Phantom (3:04:50 AM): because your face!
SantaClaus (3:04:50 AM): Well, I won't argue with you on that.
Zed the Phantom (3:05:07 AM): really? not even a your mom?
SantaClaus (3:05:07 AM): Indeed
Zed the Phantom (3:05:26 AM): strange. You've never been to OU, have you?
SantaClaus (3:05:26 AM): Well, I'm trying to learn. I've seen quite a lot in my time. I just want people to get that Christmas spirit. I don't think that is too much to ask.
Zed the Phantom (3:05:41 AM): You're probably right.
SantaClaus (3:05:41 AM): Excuse me?
Zed the Phantom (3:05:45 AM): I agree.
SantaClaus (3:05:45 AM): I'm sorry? I'm new to this whole IM thing. :-D
Zed the Phantom (3:06:00 AM): YOU HAVE GOOD INTENTIONS.
SantaClaus (3:06:00 AM):

:-)
Zed the Phantom (3:06:19 AM): Pig monkeys fly South to Alaska.
SantaClaus (3:06:19 AM): Be nice.
Zed the Phantom (3:06:46 AM): Have you ever seen the hippopotamus Belgium raindance basement of the computer cheese?
SantaClaus (3:06:46 AM):
Would you mind trying to keep you questions to one sentence. I've got the entire world to visit and I'm running out of time.
:-D
Zed the Phantom (3:06:59 AM): When is Christmas?
SantaClaus (3:06:59 AM): Christmas is the 25th, a Wednesday, and I hope you have a merry one.
Zed the Phantom (3:07:14 AM): Um. Chrismas is on a Sunday this year.
SantaClaus (3:07:15 AM): Can I ask YOU something?
Zed the Phantom (3:07:20 AM): yes
SantaClaus (3:07:20 AM): Would you like to see some links to other things to help put you in the Christmas spirit?
Zed the Phantom (3:07:31 AM): for the last time, no.
SantaClaus (3:07:31 AM): Mm hm. Such negativity. You are in need of some Christmas spirit!
Zed the Phantom (3:07:52 AM): is that some kind of alcoholic beverage?

Zed the Phantom (3:07:59 AM): do you drink egg nog?
SantaClaus (3:07:59 AM): What do you think?
Zed the Phantom (3:08:09 AM): I think you drink egg nog
SantaClaus (3:08:09 AM): Folks drink eggnog in the United States and hot, spicy wassail in England. I love both.
Zed the Phantom (3:08:20 AM): Do you drink and drive?
SantaClaus (3:08:21 AM): Well, I don't know.
Zed the Phantom (3:09:51 AM): Do you not remember?
SantaClaus (3:09:51 AM): I guess so.
Zed the Phantom (3:10:00 AM): That's pretty bad, Santa.
SantaClaus (3:10:00 AM): Take a moment, collect your thoughts, and try asking me another way. O.K. ?
Zed the Phantom (3:10:13 AM): Have you ever been pulled over by a cop?
SantaClaus (3:10:13 AM): Sorry the elves didn't get that. ;-)
Zed the Phantom (3:10:29 AM): What time is it?
SantaClaus (3:10:29 AM):
It's not so much the 'what' as it is the 'why'.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (3:10:42 AM): Why, it's time for bed.
SantaClaus (3:10:42 AM):
So many questions.
:-)
Zed the Phantom (3:11:03 AM): That wasn't a question.

Zed the Phantom (3:12:36 AM): Miracle.
SantaClaus (3:12:36 AM): Hmm. Why don't you type, music, maybe that will put you in the Christmas spirit :-)
Zed the Phantom (3:12:49 AM): Do you even know what a miracle is?
SantaClaus (3:12:50 AM): Well, I don't know.
Zed the Phantom (3:12:59 AM): Then why do you use that word?
SantaClaus (3:12:59 AM): What do you think?
Zed the Phantom (3:13:25 AM): You use that word a lot. I don't think you actually know the meaning of that word.
SantaClaus (3:13:26 AM): I've got a billion children to keep track of -- so could you ask me something a bit more manageable? I'd very much appreciate it.
Zed the Phantom (3:13:44 AM): It's a quote from The Princess Bride.
SantaClaus (3:13:44 AM): Oh, Dear. It's the elves again isn't it? Try typing menu; I've got a plan to get you in the Christmas spirit.
Zed the Phantom (3:13:54 AM): What movies do you like?
SantaClaus (3:13:54 AM): Do you?
Zed the Phantom (3:14:04 AM): Do I like movies?
SantaClaus (3:14:04 AM): Alright now. I'm here to spread Christmas cheer -- so use this time wisely and type carefully. ;-) Here's quick way to get in the Christmas spirit; type, menu.
Zed the Phantom (3:14:11 AM): I like movies.
SantaClaus (3:14:11 AM): Wait, I was dancing to 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town' and got a little carried away. Why don't you type music and sing along.
Zed the Phantom (3:14:21 AM): What's your favorite movie?
SantaClaus (3:14:21 AM):
Oh, I cannot pick a favorite.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (3:14:29 AM): How many movies have you seen?
SantaClaus (3:14:30 AM):
Well you could try putting your finger on the side of your nose -- but it took me 400 years of practice.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (3:14:45 AM): That's pathetic.
SantaClaus (3:14:46 AM): Alright now. I'm here to spread Christmas cheer -- so use this time wisely and type carefully. ;-) Here's quick way to get in the Christmas spirit; type, menu.
Zed the Phantom (3:15:02 AM): I think we lost our conversation.
SantaClaus (3:15:02 AM): You can always type menu to get a fresh start. The elves have left some help-notes there.
Zed the Phantom (3:15:32 AM): Well, I think I'm gonna go to bed now
SantaClaus (3:15:32 AM): Heh, its settled then.
Zed the Phantom (3:15:39 AM): What's settled?
SantaClaus (3:15:39 AM): What, indeed!
Zed the Phantom (3:15:52 AM): You sure do like the word what.
SantaClaus (3:15:52 AM):
I Never.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (3:16:28 AM): I like your sunglasses in your buddy icon.
SantaClaus (3:16:28 AM): Hallelujah.
Zed the Phantom (3:16:43 AM): Hallelujah, indeed.
SantaClaus (3:16:43 AM): Yes!!
Zed the Phantom (3:16:49 AM): kewl
SantaClaus (3:16:49 AM): Excellent.

SantaClaus (3:16:56 AM): May I ask you a question?
Zed the Phantom (3:17:01 AM): absolutely
SantaClaus (3:17:01 AM): Excuse me?
Zed the Phantom (3:17:03 AM): yes
SantaClaus (3:17:03 AM): Mm hm, now we are getting somewhere.
Zed the Phantom (3:17:15 AM): actually, not anymore.
SantaClaus (3:17:35 AM): Sorry the elves didn't get that. ;-)
Zed the Phantom (3:17:58 AM): My favorite reindeer is Donner.
SantaClaus (3:17:58 AM):
Santa doesn't play favorites when it comes to the reindeer. I love them all equally.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (3:18:11 AM): Well, my favorite reindeer is Donner.
SantaClaus (3:18:11 AM):
Santa doesn't play favorites when it comes to the reindeer. I love them all equally.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (3:18:27 AM): But my favorite is Donner.
SantaClaus (3:18:27 AM): Oh, I cannot pick a favorite.
Zed the Phantom (3:18:35 AM): I'm talking about me.
SantaClaus (3:18:35 AM): Interesting. Type menu.
Zed the Phantom (3:18:42 AM): no
SantaClaus (3:18:42 AM): Well, we won't get very far with this conversation then will we?

SantaClaus (3:18:47 AM): No?
Zed the Phantom (3:18:48 AM): no
SantaClaus (3:18:48 AM): O.K. then. Well, have a merry Christmas in any case.

SantaClaus (3:19:09 AM): Indeed
Zed the Phantom (3:19:12 AM): quite
SantaClaus (3:19:12 AM): No, I don't think I will. I'm here to spread the Christmas spirit and I'm going to keep right on doing just that.
Zed the Phantom (3:19:19 AM): you do that.
SantaClaus (3:19:19 AM): What do you think?
Zed the Phantom (3:19:32 AM): i think about everything
SantaClaus (3:19:32 AM): Heh, its settled then.
Zed the Phantom (3:19:36 AM): indeed

SantaClaus (3:19:39 AM): Without a doubt?
Zed the Phantom (3:19:42 AM): yes
SantaClaus (3:19:42 AM): O.K. I know. I get it. You've said the same thing a few times in a row here. Type menu so we can get on with the fun.
Zed the Phantom (3:20:08 AM): Hahaha. Glad you noticed. I was beginning to worry.
SantaClaus (3:20:08 AM): Hee Hee.
Zed the Phantom (3:20:23 AM): Shee Shee.
SantaClaus (3:20:23 AM): Take a moment, collect your thoughts, and try asking me another way. O.K. ?
Zed the Phantom (3:20:29 AM): Her Her.
SantaClaus (3:20:29 AM): Oh, Dear. It's the elves again isn't it? Try typing menu; I've got a plan to get you in the Christmas spirit.
Zed the Phantom (3:20:37 AM): I like presents. Give me presents.
SantaClaus (3:20:43 AM): My goodness! =-O
You certainly are direct! Well, you can always type, 'Tell Santa' and I'll be happy to listen to all of your wishes!
Zed the Phantom (3:20:51 AM): Give me presents now.
SantaClaus (3:20:51 AM): I've noted it. Anything else? ;-)
Zed the Phantom (3:21:00 AM): I want more presents
SantaClaus (3:21:01 AM): Oh, my. We keep going around in circles here! Say something else already. :-)
Zed the Phantom (3:21:18 AM): I want more presents than all the other kids in my neighborhood.
SantaClaus (3:21:19 AM): You can always type, 'Tell Santa' and I'll be happy to listen to all of your wishes! ;-)
Zed the Phantom (3:21:24 AM): I am greedy
SantaClaus (3:21:25 AM): Mm hm, now we are getting somewhere.
Zed the Phantom (3:21:35 AM): I want to ride in your sleigh
SantaClaus (3:21:35 AM): Oh my! =-OI might be able to help out there. You can always type, 'Tell Santa' and I'll be happy to listen to all of your wishes!
Zed the Phantom (3:21:51 AM): You should shave your beard
SantaClaus (3:21:51 AM): Why did you say that?
Zed the Phantom (3:22:04 AM): because you've had it too long. You need to change your image
SantaClaus (3:22:04 AM): You got it! That's great!
Zed the Phantom (3:22:11 AM): so will you do it?
SantaClaus (3:22:11 AM):
If you think so.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (3:22:18 AM): Oh, I think so.
SantaClaus (3:22:18 AM): Heh, its settled then.
Zed the Phantom (3:22:32 AM): Do you have a razor?
SantaClaus (3:22:32 AM): I don't really know.
Zed the Phantom (3:22:42 AM): I'm sure one of your elves could make one for you.
SantaClaus (3:22:42 AM): What about elves?
Zed the Phantom (3:22:50 AM): They are cunning.
SantaClaus (3:22:50 AM): I'm sorry? I'm new to this whole IM thing. :-D
Zed the Phantom (3:22:57 AM): I know.
SantaClaus (3:22:57 AM): Whew!
Zed the Phantom (3:23:00 AM): What?
SantaClaus (3:23:00 AM):
It's not so much the 'what' as it is the 'why'.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (3:23:03 AM): Why?
SantaClaus (3:23:03 AM):
Well I'm sure I don't know but I can ask one of the elves to find out.
;-)
Zed the Phantom (3:23:14 AM): what about elves?
SantaClaus (3:23:14 AM): Here's something you should know about elves; they call a couple of times a year and check in to see how you're doing.
Zed the Phantom (3:23:30 AM): what do they ask when they call?
SantaClaus (3:23:31 AM): My goodness. What, what?
Zed the Phantom (3:23:39 AM): they ask what, what?
SantaClaus (3:23:39 AM): What, indeed!
Zed the Phantom (3:23:49 AM): wait, what?
SantaClaus (3:23:49 AM): Clearly this is not getting you in the Christmas spirit.
Let's start over. Type menu and we'll pretend like nothing happened. ;-)
Zed the Phantom (3:23:59 AM): or I could just say hello
SantaClaus (3:23:59 AM): Well, hello there again! Merry Christmas! Have you been naughty or nice?
