So I mentioned earlier that AIM booted me off this mornng. I left out the part where it waited for a particularly assy time to do it. See for yourself:


Jack: you never studied latin word roots for college entrance exams, did you?
Jenn: It wans't even in a good way.
Jenn: College entrance exams were pieces of cake.
Jenn: Of course I didn't study.
Jenn: *smiles sunnily*
Caro: my foot hurts
Jack: oh, really?
Jenn: *pets foot*
Jenn: What happened to it.
Caro: i dunno. my arch hurts.
Jenn: Huh.
Jack: mitigating : exonerate :: exigent : ?
Jenn: Where are the four options?
Jack: if you know an answer that fits, you don't need no multiple choices.
Jack: or, if you want to give me a couple minutes, i can come up with 3 sufficiently tricky wrong answers...
Jack: music: sleep on the left side, leave the right side free
Jack: this makes me need new cooperfic YESTERDAY. damnit.
Caro: bed now. night peoples. *hugs chat*
Jack: night caro!
Caro has left the room.
Jenn: I'm off too. NIght!
Jack: hold on a sec?
Jenn has left the room.
Jack: damnit. and i have the evil multiple choice answers of doom, too.
Molly: *snicker* Couldn't you have just pointed out that life rarely comes in a handy multiple choice format?
Jack: i did!
Molly: Huh. Indeed you did. You should leave it at that! It's an important truth!
J: but we were talking about college entrance exams
Jack: but then it occurred to me i could come up with multiple choice options harder than the open-ended option
J: which do
Jack: see, look:
Molly: That is true. I never once studied for an entrance exam.
Molly: Wait, that's not true. I spent three days cramming for the LSAT.


...and this is the point at which I had the answers all typed into the little window, and I hit "enter" and they disappeared, and I waited for them to appear in the chat. And waited. And waited... And then I realized I'd been kicked off.


The good news? I managed to save the question and answers in a program that wasn't mocking me with its assy work ethic. I was just going to save them for Jenn, but then I thought, hey, why not let everyone play?
