Well no wonder Gizmo doesn't make any sense! He only has two fingers and a thumb.
This gem of a text exchange happened tonight. My replies are in green.

I see you've mastered the Stupid language
oprn bowsr and pste addres
Either you don't know how to spell or you're the world's crappiest texter
Reading your text messages is like waiting for a JPG to load circa 1996

Oh look. Someone who types backwards and uses text language.
ReplyDeleteSo funny i forgot to laugh.
Do you think the person was making a lame attempt to be funny or was legit with this mess?
ReplyDeleteNot sure what to make of the first comment either. I suspect this was legit but the person was awfully distracted. I bet you some reader will try to decipher it.
ReplyDeleteI laughed... with you CJ. :P
If you look at some of the words they've replaced one letter, some are written backwards and there's some text language thrown in too.
ReplyDeleteThey were trying to be funny/clever. Failed on both counts.
Or maybe they were drunk. Too drunk to figure out what the little keys meant?
ReplyDeleteBut, I had no clue what that deciphers as.
I'm thinking they were drunk too!
ReplyDeleteEven when I'm drunk I don't text as badly as this person!
ReplyDeleteThis is why you text with one eye closed. Stops the room from spinning and from seeing double.
Go ahead and laugh at me Tim. S'ok.
ReplyDeleteDrunk, sure. But why drunk text me? Odd. Maybe the person thought he/she was texting a bus driver.
I am fluent in Stupid with a master's degree. Please, allow me:
ReplyDeleteYou like kids?
You are funny and I figured out why I know I like you.

GO Bus... Can your bus come here and how do I get back.
Message me later for the location.
Somebody said this is your Friday. Okay. Bye!
Bravo, Fred! But the conversation still doesn't make sense.
ReplyDeleteI said I was fluent in Stupid not a master of Crazy.
ReplyDeleteThis is interesting in it's oddness.
ReplyDeleteCJ did this all come at once, (i.e. minutes apart)? Or was it over several hours? It's the disjointedness that is so puzzling....
I guess we shouldn't try and figure out drunk texting, but I thought the person might have been messing with you .... in a very obtuse fashion.
kinda cool how many different types of text exchanges you get really!
This is why the text message headers have value people!
ReplyDeleteThe texts came all in at once. I believe the person thought I was someone else.
I do find the texting is increasing as "fans" swallow their apprehension and engage me in conversation. That's cool and I encourage it. I help TomW with his evening crossword and Al keeps playing Polkaroo and Drumstick and Vanessa were breakfast mates recently. I may not respond right away but I do make an effort to reply to every one.
The obscure texts don't happen as frequently as one would think. Some are so short with no follow up, there's no value in their publication. Some are long but are humourless.
I like it when I get the crazy, angry, pissed off, can't read google to save their lives texters. I wish they'd text more.
My 7 year old has, from time to time, kidnapped my wife's Blackberry and started randomly posting stuff to my wife's Facebook page. Even went as far as to write on other people's walls.
ReplyDeleteThe thing is, the kid was still way, way more coherent than whatever that shit was that got flung at you.
