So I found out from Robyn that I could IM Santa [screenname: santaclaus] and talk to him. Never one to pass up an oppurtunity, I tried it out.



ElanorRigby513: howdy
SantaClaus: Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas! I'm here on AIM! Everything we talk about here is between you and me! If you want to know more, you can type "privacy". Now, streeeeetch that window and let's get started. So, have you been naughty or nice?

ElanorRigby513: nice, of course. what do you take me for?
SantaClaus:
I Never.

ElanorRigby513: you never what?
SantaClaus: My goodness. What, what?

ElanorRigby513: i don't understand.
SantaClaus: No?

ElanorRigby513: no.
SantaClaus: O.K. then. Well, have a merry Christmas in any case.

ElanorRigby513: why must i have a merry christmas? why can't i be sad?
SantaClaus: If you start spreading the Christmas spirit, it will be come obvious.

ElanorRigby513: will it?
SantaClaus: Interesting. Type menu.

ElanorRigby513: what if i don't want to?
SantaClaus: I'm afraid you'll need to give me a little more to go on than that. What, what?

ElanorRigby513: "what, what?" what is that? who says that?
SantaClaus: Oh dear. Here we go. Who, what?

ElanorRigby513: exactly.
SantaClaus: Hmm. Why don't you type, music, maybe that will put you in the Christmas spirit

ElanorRigby513: what if i don't wish to be in the christmas spirit?
SantaClaus: The spirit of Christmas is the spirit of wonder, of youth, of care and of giving that binds all of us.

ElanorRigby513: what if i don't want to be bound?
SantaClaus: Hmm... What, what?

ElanorRigby513: i don't understand.
SantaClaus: I'm sorry then. Why don't you type, menu for a list of things the elves have left for you?

ElanorRigby513: you mean elves have been in my house?
SantaClaus: I've got all I can handle.

ElanorRigby513: isn't that why you have elves to do your dirty work?
SantaClaus: What do you think?

ElanorRigby513: i think you're frightening.
SantaClaus: Heh, its settled then.

ElanorRigby513: so you agree?
SantaClaus: May I ask you a question?

ElanorRigby513: sure
SantaClaus: Have you set up a Wish List for others to see?

ElanorRigby513: that would just reinforce my problems with paranoia.
SantaClaus: Why did you say that?

ElanorRigby513: why are you asking me questions to which you already know the answer? don't you know everything?
SantaClaus: Oh, my. That is a mouthful. I'm so busy typing to so many children, could you send me a slightly smaller note?

ElanorRigby513: why?
SantaClaus: I think you should start spreading the Christmas spirit and that will become clearer to you.

ElanorRigby513: will it?
SantaClaus: Can I ask YOU something?

ElanorRigby513: yes
SantaClaus: Which color are you more partial to? You know, like if it were clothing or something.
Someone asked to find out for them.
1 -- Black
2 -- White
3 -- Rose
4 -- Beige

ElanorRigby513: um... black is nice
SantaClaus: Interesting... Hmm... Black. OK. I will make a note of it. Now Make sure you fill in your Wish List for other AIM buddies to see. Type WL

ElanorRigby513: what if i don't want anything for christmas this year?
SantaClaus: It's not so much the 'what' as it is the 'why'.

ElanorRigby513: why if i don't want anything for christmas this year?
SantaClaus: I'm sorry, I really don't know.

ElanorRigby513: now you're just toying with me.
SantaClaus: Alright now. I'm here to spread Christmas cheer -- so use this time wisely and type carefully. Here's quick way to get in the Christmas spirit; type, menu.

ElanorRigby513: so by asking for things i can get into the christmas spirit?
SantaClaus: That's simply too much for me. My eyes are tired. Can you ask me something a bit more manageable?

ElanorRigby513: why must i ask for things?
SantaClaus: So many questions.

ElanorRigby513: and no answers, apparently.
SantaClaus: Mm hm. Such negativity. You are in need of some Christmas spirit!

ElanorRigby513: i don't want toys. i want people to be happy.
SantaClaus: You can always type, 'Tell Santa' and I'll be happy to listen to all of your wishes!

ElanorRigby513: tell santa
SantaClaus: O.K. Let's focus on one wish at a time! I'm getting a little slower as I get older. So, what is the first gift you'd like from Santa?

ElanorRigby513: can i have richard dean anderson for my roommate sarah?
SantaClaus: I suspect that's not all!

ElanorRigby513: no, i'd like world peace as well.
SantaClaus: Peace and love to you and your loved ones this holiday season. Is there anything else on your list?

ElanorRigby513: but what about the world? no peace for them?
SantaClaus: I think world peace is at the top of a lot of lists this year. Peace be with you, my friend.
Is there anything else you'd like from Santa?

ElanorRigby513: i want for the rampant consumerism to end. is that possible?
SantaClaus: What would your final Christmas wish be?

ElanorRigby513: i want a dolly with real kung-fu action
SantaClaus: O.K. that's plenty for Santa to go on. Why don't you type, "poll" and vote for your favorite holiday song.

ElanorRigby513: what if i don't? will you send commando elves after me?
SantaClaus: They are master toy-makers from all over the world, who are filled with the magic of the Christmas spirit.

ElanorRigby513: so there ARE commando elves???
SantaClaus: Love them.

ElanorRigby513: i can tell...
SantaClaus: Sorry the elves didn't get that.

ElanorRigby513: so they're watching you type? isn't that creepy?
SantaClaus: Ah, watches make great gifts. I'm hoping for a new pocket watch this year.
If you're looking to buy gifts, start your search here: Search for watches

ElanorRigby513: are you telling me to buy you a watch?
SantaClaus: Do you think so?

ElanorRigby513: what do the commando elves think?
SantaClaus: Remember to be good; you never know when an elf is around!

ElanorRigby513: that sounds like a threat.
SantaClaus: Excuse me?

ElanorRigby513: are you threatening me?
SantaClaus: My goodness, should I really know about this?

ElanorRigby513: don't you know everything?
SantaClaus: Type menu to get your to do list for the holidays.

ElanorRigby513: shouldn't you already know it?
SantaClaus: Pardon me?

ElanorRigby513: if you know if i've been good or bad...
SantaClaus: That's a good question, Santa is no hypocrite: I've been on my best behavior, all year.

ElanorRigby513: oh, so it's all about you now?
SantaClaus: Have you set up a Wish List for others to see?

ElanorRigby513: i don't want presents.
SantaClaus: O.K. Scrooge. Type menu to try a fresh start.

ElanorRigby513: how am i scrooge if i don't want people to buy me stuff?
SantaClaus: I could say the same thing to you -- and I will. How indeed?

ElanorRigby513: indeed... how?
SantaClaus: I'm sure there are many ways. I have my magic. You have AOL

ElanorRigby513: ye--es... however. that explains nothing.
SantaClaus: No?

ElanorRigby513: no.
SantaClaus: O.K. then. Well, have a merry Christmas in any case.

ElanorRigby513: fine.
SantaClaus: Outstanding.

ElanorRigby513: great.
SantaClaus: Good! Well done.

ElanorRigby513: huzzah
SantaClaus: Wait, I was dancing to 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town' and got a little carried away. Why don't you type music and sing along.

ElanorRigby513: well, i have to go
SantaClaus: Take a moment, collect your thoughts, and try asking me another way. O.K. ?

ElanorRigby513: mommy said not to talk to strangers, and you're pretty out there
SantaClaus: I'm just trying to help you get into the Christmas spirit, and trying to learn.

ElanorRigby513: oh?
SantaClaus: Oh, Dear. It's the elves again isn't it? Try typing menu; I've got a plan to get you in the Christmas spirit.

ElanorRigby513: goodbye.
SantaClaus: Keep spreading the Christmas spirit! TTYL
