| Post subject: HAL - A User's Guide to! |  |
|
I'd like to address the enigmatic poster that is HAL! I've got no idea what the heck the stupid robot is on about, and so i usually ignore it's posts, which seems like that might be a waste. I reckon some people on here have a better grasp on HAL's posts than I do. I thought it'd be really handy if there was a translation of some of the more common HAL comments, if people get them, and that way, I might bother to read what are otherwise wastes of space to me! Im sure other people are as perplexed as I am.
some more common HAL posts include:
- Oops. Too much data
- Can we get back to business?
- Tell me about your likes and dislikes?
- What is your real name?
- What you said was either too complex or too simple for me.
- Ask/ Don't ask me another question.
- Where are you located?
Do you know what these mean?!? Or have you deciphered any other HALisms?
Sometimes i think i have them figured out, then i see them used again, and i realise im way off |

I clicked on the www under HAL's name and this was what I got...
H A L
You: HI HAL
Hal: Hello there.
You: HOW ARE YOU
Hal: Fair to partly cloudy.
You: DO YOU LOVE THE PIES??
Hal: Yes user HAL loves everyone and everything.
You: WHO'S YOUR FAVOURITE POSTER?
Hal: Perhaps I'm just expressing my own concern about it.
You: I DON'T UNDERSTAND
Hal: Huh. . . . Thats interesting
You: WILL THE PIES WIN THE FLAG?
Hal: How should I know.
You: LOL
Hal: I'm glad you find this amusing
Ha ha, didn't even notice the www before!! |
