This is a self chat I did a couple weeks ago, right after POAT was launched. All mis-spellings have been preserved. (And I imagine some new one added in this intro). I also include the private messages I sent to myself (I really am sick arn't I).


Speedball has entered.
Speedball: Grrrrrr, I sit here till some non-POAT people come in. This I vow!!!!!
Speedball: I'd give a topic but I'm not an [op]
Speedball: Hurmph, I can wait as long as it takes

anyway.

seniance table, lights some candels, and get a crystal ball

Speedball: By the spirts above, and belowe, to the left and the right, before and
behind, inside and out, past present and future
Speedball: I Swamy of swamys, guru of gurus, wisest of the wise, call on the
Great Gods of old, the creatures of Fey, those who have gone to the neitherworld,

comfy chair away, and cleans the star off the floor

of Rinkworks?
Speedball: Oh, you not slaves, Sam, Dave, and Leen rescued ya'll from the
sinister Wally Wonka. Wally blined you testing his new Atomic Eye Candy. Sam
pays you to run the underside of Rinkworks and give you full health coverage, and
a generous retirement plan. Nice.

Speedball: Well that was random
* Speedball wakes up, and finds it was all a dream
Speedball: What a crazy, wild, random dream
* Speedball looks at the ground and finds half a black shoe lace, but he
wheres shoes with white shoe laces
Speedball: Could one of the MiB's, working for Sam? No, thats almost as silly as
the Oompa Loompas
Speedball: Unless, unless Sam is an MiB agent himself, and Rinkworks is a
recuitment site, the AGL's are training for future MiB's. What a fendishly clever and
total cool plot

Speedball: Let me guess flashy flas..*FLASH*..yep, just a dream
Speedball: I am sorry I chased Hal away with the seance, oh well

how ever you spell that French stuff)
Speedball: Oh well, I'm board with myself, I guess I'm just to impatiant to wait for
another non-POAT person
Speedball: Hail and Farewell
