I've been "salmoned"
Ok, I know this is a "thing" that's happening right now, but I just had the most surreal thing happen to me via IM, and I'm going to paste it here: ()
formalizedsalmon
12:08
IT'S COMCASTIC!
Spazholio
12:08
?
formalizedsalmon
12:08

Spazholio
12:09
I...don't know.
12:09

formalizedsalmon
12:10
i thought it was supposed to be criminalsalmon
Spazholio
12:10
And you are...?
12:12
Yo.
You have connected (12:15)
Spazholio
12:17
So....gonna answer me?
formalizedsalmon
12:18
oh i thought you signed of
12:18
f
12:18
are you a wannabe bot
Spazholio
12:18
My connection dropped.
12:18
I'm not a bot. Who *is* this?
formalizedsalmon
12:18
like copying the whole criminalsalmon idea
12:19
"are you willing to converse with a stranger?"
12:19
creeeeeeeeeeeeepy
Spazholio
12:19
Wish I had a clue what "criminalsalmon" is.
12:19
I honestly and truly have NO idea what you're talking about.
12:19
Not even a little.
formalizedsalmon
12:20
your name just happens to be abolishedsalmon
12:20
like part of the salmon bot family
Spazholio
12:20
Where?
12:20
Not here.
12:20
It's "Spazholio"
formalizedsalmon
12:20
dork.
Spazholio
12:20
Wait a second...

formalizedsalmon
12:22
creep.
12:22
go bot someone else
Spazholio
12:22
I have no idea who you are, but I apparently look like "abolishedsalmon" to you. Your name is showing as "formalizedsalmon" to me.
12:22
lol
12:22
I have no idea why I feel the need to prove this to a complete stranger, but I'm NOT a bot.
formalizedsalmon
12:23
guhhh
12:23

Spazholio
12:23

formalizedsalmon
12:23

Spazholio
12:23
That's a screenshot of this convo.
formalizedsalmon
12:23
leave me alooooooone
Spazholio
12:24
I swear on my mother's eyes, I got a message from you. If you use LiveJournal, apparently that's how this happens.
12:24
*shrug*
12:24
Do a google search, man.
formalizedsalmon
12:24
i don't use livejournal.
12:24
and i already knew about this, man.
Spazholio
12:24
Your first line to me was: "IT'S COMCASTIC!"
formalizedsalmon
12:24
you said that to ME
Spazholio
12:25
hah
12:25
Nope.
formalizedsalmon
12:25
and i was like "what does that mean"
Spazholio
12:25
Someone's fucking with us.
formalizedsalmon
12:25
then you said "?"
12:25
ew i don't know why i'm even still talking to you
Spazholio
12:25
Point taken.
formalizedsalmon
12:25
peace
I'm finding more evidence of this here, here, and here.
It appears to be a little harmless fuckery, and honestly, I'm pretty amused by it. Apparently, a third party "dials" up two random AIM screenames and connects them so it appears as though they each initiated the conversation. And the screenames are always "_____salmon".
Strange things are afoot, I say.
