America Online chatrooms circa 1993, minus every single element that would make that less than one hundred percent totally weird.

I actually like the idea. People don't know how to interact with strangers specifically because it's easy to set up camp and block people you don't want to deal with. It could be quite educational.

Someone get on here and keep typing your username and disconnecting if you don't get an ample reply.

I have decided that doing as you suggest is weirder than any chatroom ever. I got some of the weirdest responses. my favorite was "DO YOU KNOW TRI-GUNNA?"

I've been approaching people in character as an intelligence operative testing them with a code word to confirm that they're my contact.

I don't think one person has picked up on it so far.

SO disappointed in the omegle.com community.:(

Inspired by Fifth, I've started asking everyone "Who are the Patriots?"

I've yet to get, "La-li-lu-le-lo" as an answer.
