Omegle - Talk To Stranglers

Hi there.

So I recently found this odd little site called Omegle. It's like a chat interface, but you are basically just hooked-up to a totally random (and completely anonymous) stranger to chat to. That's it.

So far, so boring. But I noticed that the banner on the site said "Omegle - Talk To Strangers!". And I thought it might be amusing to mis-read this instruction as "Talk To Stranglers". So I've been striking up strangling-related conversations with random members of the world and seeing where they've led to. I have one rule: Keep going until the Strangler disconnects.

Here's one of them ("You" is, erm, Me. "Stranger" is the other person):

Connecting to server...

You're now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!

You: Hi. Are you a strangler?

Stranger: Strangler?

You: Yes.

Stranger: Are you?

Stranger: I dont have to strangle to kill :P

You: No. That is why I am here, looking for one.

You: I don't want someone to kill.

Stranger: No problem

Stranger: Where are you based?

You: In Wales. Where are you?

Stranger: Ausi?

Stranger: indai

Stranger: India

Stranger: Oops England?

You: I have heard of India. I think. It is near Africa?

Stranger: No

You: Yes. Wales is a town in England. Near Northampton.

Stranger: Good

You: Is India near Bombay?

Stranger: You know Bombay?

You: I used to. Then it became Mumbai and it's not as good as it was before.

Stranger: Bombay is IN India

You: Like Veet, or Starburst.

You: Ah. Sorry for confusion.

You: ...Or Cif

Stranger: Cif?

You: Yes. Cif. Which used to be called "Jif". It was much better at cleaning floors before.

Stranger: hmmm

You: Lots of towns in India have changed their names. Why is that?

Stranger: When British were here they changed names

Stranger: We are now changing them back

You: Ah. OK. I am British you know.

Stranger: Yeah

You: I hope you don't think I changed your towns?

Stranger: But I dont think you were here when British were here :P

You: No. I was in bed.

You: Hiding.

You: Which part of India are you from?

Stranger: Delhi

You: Ah. Delhi. Is that the same as New Delhi? Or is it the old Delhi?

Stranger: I am in what is called Delhi

Stranger: There is a New Delhi as well

You: In Britain we call it दिल्ली

Stranger: Yeah

You: We have always called it that here. Since Roman times.

Stranger: Were you alive then?

Stranger: Till you met the strangler?

Stranger: :D

You: Don't be silly! That would make me over 70 years old!

Stranger: ha ha

You: I'm talking about Roman Polanski, the movie director, who lived in Wales for some time.

You: Tell me an interesting fact about Delhi. And I will tell you one about Wales in return.

You: Then you can amaze your friends.

Stranger: hmmm

Stranger: I will have to think really hard

Stranger: :P

You: OK. I have 18 minutes to wait.

Stranger: What after that

Stranger: ?

Stranger: Battery would run out?

You: No.

You: Medication time.

You: OK - here is my fact about Wales.

You: In Wales there are FIVE different cinemas, but they all show the same films.

You: 16 minutes left...

You: How long have you been in Delhi?

Stranger: There have been no new releases in Delhi for last month or so

You: That is a damn-fool crying shame, as we say here.

You: Can you send me some spicy sausage and strong goat cheese?

Stranger: Sure

You: Good. Put it on your computer and press 'send'.

Stranger: I just couriered it to you

Stranger: Did not think of the computer route

You: Ah - but I think you are toying with me, mr cheeky monkey. You do not know my address, or my FedEx customer number. So how does that work?

You: I think you are trying to con me out of my money.

Stranger: lol

You: 12 minutes to go.

Stranger: Damn I did not get any money

You: I demand to know an interesting fact about Delhi. I have given you Wales fact.

You: Now I am one fact down in the deal.

You: If I don't get my Delhi fact soon, I will complan to the Ombudsman.

You: *complain

You: On the other hand, maybe the ombudsman would like some complan - if he's on a diet. Do they still sell it? Can you get Complan in Delhi? That would be an interesting fact!

You: Hello? Mr Cheeky Monkey? Are you still there?

You: I'm starting to think you aren't really in Delhi. I'm going now.

You: Bye

You: Bye-bye

You: See ya!

You: Ta-ra

Stranger: Yeah

Stranger: Complan is something you will find in Delhi

Stranger: For sure

You: Arrividerci

You: sayonara

Stranger: Au Revoir

You: hasta la vista
