Say old bean, have you seen my hat?

Nah, things like that are fun enough. Sometimes the people you meet are interesting.

Also, if you don't have your IM screen name in your livejournal profile, you won't get hatted through LJ.

yeah this one didn't even do the intro thing. Instead it came up on someone else's screen as me implying that Obama was gay. Which as amusing as that sounds I never said.

Haha... yeah I love salmon/hat bots. I actually have an lj-friend that I met through a salmonbot. Also, extreme boredom can be cured using the request a salmon page and messing with people.
