I just had this instant message conversation. I was sitting and all of a sudden an instant message bubble popped up and this is what occurred thereafter.
Apathetic
me: who are you?
Apathetic
me: Shall I assume I know you?
me: or are you randomly enlightening people on salmon
Apathetic
me: alrighty then. Thanks for this update. I wasn’t fully on top of my Salmon info for this week but now i feel like i can approach the world with this bit of knowledge.
Apathetic
best of luck with your work
me: Thank you?
(Yes I typed a question mark) Now this is where this conversation probably should have ended. But after the confusion that is salmon enlightenment I decided to go with this…
me: You realize my work could be the murdering of innocence, right?
Apathetic
me: Instant messaging? Sure this is harmless, but theres a good chance that i’m only sitting down and instant messaging because i’ve killed so much today that I need a break.
People with hope and something to live for really take it out of a guy.

haha. i’m talking to the guy right now. i don’t really get it.
i’ve heard from him before, leaving random messages. i don’t know if it’s a bot run amok or a real person, but just really really bored.
either way, i’m getting to the bottom of this.
Dude. I got the SAME RANDOM IM. but from someone else, “affinetrout”. something like that. It was wierd.
Ha! I hope you figure out what his deal is. I assumed it was a friend of mine who was really bored. Now i know its an instant messenger guy gone wild.
[…] Things that Confuse me - Vol. 1 […]
Weird… I just had this:
highbrowtrout: Anyway, like I was sayin’, salmon is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey’s uh, salmon-kabobs, salmon creole, salmon gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There’s pineapple salmon, lemon salmon, coconut salmon, pepper salmon, salmon soup, salmon stew, salmon salad, salmon and potatoes, salmon burger, salmon sandwich. That- that’s about it.
me: isn’t that shrimp?
2:39 PM highbrowtrout: What?
me: eh?
highbrowtrout: You just asked me if I was a whore.
me: all of those things sound like it would be better with shrimp
2:40 PM what?
highbrowtrout: ironyfilledtrout
11:38
¿Estás una puta, sí?
me: uh… my IM name isn’t ironyfilledtrout
highbrowtrout: What’s what’s on my screen
Who are you?
2:41 PM me: i don’t even know who you are
highbrowtrout: hahahaha
me: i just got this, from you
HighbrowTrout: Anyway, like I was sayin’, salmon is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey’s uh, salmon-kabobs, salmon creole, salmon gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There’s pineapple salmon, lemon salmon, coconut salmon, pepper salmon, salmon soup, salmon stew, salmon salad, salmon and potatoes, salmon burger, salmon sandwich. That- that’s about it.
highbrowtrout: Well that’s fucking odd.
me: yeah.
very strange.
you didn’t send that?
highbrowtrout: Nope.
me: hmm…
highbrowtrout: Who are you exactly?
me: well I certainly didn’t call you a whore
my name is Dan
highbrowtrout: Are you on TF?
me: and yourself?
2:42 PM TF?
highbrowtrout: Chris.
Okay, not there then.
That’s truly random.
me: yeah, that is highly strange
highbrowtrout: Well, have a good one, Dan.
me: i almost wonder if that is some sort of weird AIM exploit or something
highbrowtrout: Must be.
me: well one more quick question
how are you connecting to AIM?
highbrowtrout: Though to what purpose, I have no idea.
me: official client, third party?
highbrowtrout: Via Adium.
me: I use gtalk
hmm ok
2:43 PM interesting… i am signed in through gtalk, and also through adium on my home machine
i guess we’ll just chalk this up to tubes being crossed on the interwebs
one more question though, it showed that I IM’d you from a name called ironyfilledtrout?
It would appear that there are some trout-based oddities occurring on the internet.
Aaaaaand after a bit of wikipediaing (is that a word? It should be…)

Yeaa I got this too. People need to be more aware of this… it aggravated me. Thanks for posting something and allowing me to find the answer through a google search!
