I mean, if we got clever enough, maybe we could eventually talk about the actual content of the post. I know that would make Casino (I'm not going to write his last name) more than a little jealous, though. Damn it, Casino!! You're such a fragile personality. Anyway, I'm up for it.

You will be assimilated. A statement of faith will be sent to your home. You must surrender your theological distinctives and sign it, in triplicate, with a witness, immediately.

Our collective would have responded earlier but our construct was corrupted by the inclusion of some penicillian mold, as the bread in the sandwich is growing old. The good news is that this does preclude the possibility of many bacterial infections. We, the SmorgasBORG, are happy to comply with your wishes.

It is not common knowledge, but I am actually an artificial contstruct composed of a Nutella and banana sandwich and a stack of 5 1/4 inch floppy disks found in an abandoned school building. That Turing fellow has definitely complicated my quest to be perceived as sentient. Yes, I try to appear human.

Have you been trying to "appear human," Patrick? What a very clever test they devised! “a human judge engages in a natural language conversation with one human and one machine, each of which tries to appear human.” Have you been trying to “appear human,” Patrick?

(Ok...since I set up this frankly dumb joke, I guess I should finish the last line.) "Patrick"--or so goes the computer who generates his automated comments--seems to be following along, but I know better. HAHAHAHA. Badump-chi (that's supposed to be the sound of the drum roll after a bad joke!) For real, does anyone know how to get rid of spammers?
