My chat with John Lennon
Chatterbot’s text is in italics.
Hey, this is John speaking (with his fingers)...Who’re you?
[Enter your first name below]
I’m Ringo
Oh really?
Last time I checked
What do you really want to ask me?
Why won’t you go away
Why do you ask?
It’s been pretty quiet since you left
You’re kidding. it is?
More or less
What colour are your eyes?
Green
Not many people put it that way.
Yours
How old are you?
27
Only 27? You’re quite mature.
Yes, before long I’ll have to buy Viagra in bulk
How about thinking of something else? "You’re quite mature"?
before long I will have to buy viagra in bulk?
I’ve been alive almost as long as you’ve been dead
That seems like a long time.
You’re telling me
Fine, thank you.
How old are you
It’s a bit complex, but I was born on 9 October 1940.
And when did you die
8 December 1980
So why are you here
Should we go on or shouldn’t we?
It’s up to you
You’re kidding. it is?
Imagine
What time is it there?
It’s easy if you try
Should I know it is?
You said it, not me
Cheeky: localhost-person said I said it not him.
It’s 6 15
Should I know it is?
You asked, so now you know
Oh now I remember asking you so now I know. What did you
say?
I just said that
Really? Is it really that important to you?
Nothing is that important to me
Really nothing?
No, sort of nothing
You don’t like it, is that what it is? Someone just told me
we should’ve taken Saturday Night
Live’s offer to reunite for $3,000?
$3000 is pretty cheap for a band of your caliber
How do you usually introduce yourself?
By saying hello, nice to meet you, my name’s Ringo
Will that accomplish your objective?
I play drums in a little band that was big a few years back
Localhost-person said he play drums in a little band that
was big a few years back.
You might have heard of them
We’ll hold a press conference: localhost-person said I might
have heard of them.
Ever heard of the Beatles
I lost my train of thought.
Guess not
Why don’t you try the Web Search page link at the bottom of
the page?
Why don’t you try the brain search link programmed into your
brain
I’m only a rolling stone.
A rolling stone gathers no moss
How old are you?
I already told you
Sorry, I’m carrying on too many conversations at once.
Me too
I’m glad we agree, localhost-person.
