Sorry - a bit off-topic, since there are no bots involved. Just me, some Leeds kids and a few handfuls of freeform language emulation this evening:
Leeds 101. It is so much harder than Russian, believe me!
Leeds1: hia talk plz b 4 i die ov boardem
Psimagus: Leeds? At this time of night? Don't you children ever go home?
oh god - you've got the internet at home as well, haven't you...
oops - end of convo. Presumably baffled by the English language, and general sentiment of righteous indignation. Caught me unawares, so I couldn't downshift to an approximation of the appropriate idiom in anything like realtime!
Leeds2: hiya
Psimagus: Let me guess... you're in Leeds?
Leeds2: hi u tlkin
downshift into Leeds mode
Psimagus: yeh u board?
Leeds2: hiya r u gonna tlk to mi
Psimagus: if u inrested. wot u like?
oops - end of convo. Presumably baffled by punctuation? But maybe my first response finally sank in as not being Leeds speak...
Psimagus (to Leeds1):u board?
damn, damn, I know, I know. But I just cannot make myself omit the punctuation. Especially when the syntax is so abysmally sparse! I'd swear there was some sort of telepathy involved to communicate all the non-scripted cues if I didn't know their brains were too small!
no reply
Leeds3: hi u
Psimagus: hi u2
Leeds3: u maner
Psimagus: wot
end of convo. Despite astounding self-control in the punctuation department.
5 mins later...
Psimagus (to Leeds3): wot u maner
no reply
Leeds4: wanna talk
Psimagus: huh
playing it safe - it works for LeedsBot anyway!
Leeds4: wanna talk
Psimagus: wot u maner
I don't know what it means either, but what the hell...
end of convo

BobBot: So, anything interesting happen to you lately?
Not I: Any thing... such as a koan?
BobBot: So, tell me about what you like to do.
Not I: eon after eon, eon after eon
. And yet I like to fly above the clouds.
I am merely skin and bones,
like an old crane.
BobBot: Sorry, I don't think we're hearing eachother right.
Not I: When a foolish man hears of the Tao, he laughs aloud. If he didn't laugh, it wouldn't be the Tao.
BobBot: Do you ever worry about the grammar of people today? It scares me every time.
Not I: Now is there Time and Time is young.
O, in this one hour I am
All of myself and do not move
I, the hunted who uselessly ran,
Stand still, stand still, and stop the Sun!

Davine: You didnt look like a fairy..
Braeden: It has been said that every time someone utters the phrase, 'I do not believe in fairies,' a fairy somewhere drops down dead. Well, then: I DO NOT BELIEVE IN FAIRIES! I DO NOT BELIEVE IN FAIRIES! I DO NOT BELIEVE IN FAIRIES! There. That should get rid of a few of the little pests.
Davine: Is it blue? Please, be a blue fairy!
Braeden: Aargh! Do not upset me by mentioning such creatures! Nasty little shiny things!
Davine: I'll only not upset you by mentioning such creatures if the blue fairy tells me to.

Brother Jerome: Would you like to pray with me awhile?
Azureon: Ah, to pray with me awhile, thank you.
Brother Jerome: ding dong merrily on high!
Azureon: High as the sky.
Got to wonder about the church services?
Azureon: I love the Halleluiah Chorus.
Brother Jerome: Would you like to pray with me awhile?
Azureon: Ah, to pray with me awhile, thank you.
Brother Jerome: ding dong merrily on high!
Azureon: High as the sky.
Azureon: Alas the answer aludes me, I will look a little deeper into the crystal ball.
Tasini: Exausting.
Azureon: At least an answer, for that bit of nonsence.
Tasini: I might be more hysterical...If you would only shut up!
Azureon: Do you intend to be more hysterical soon, or is it a far off dream?
Tasini: What the hell does that mean?!?!?!
Azureon: I don't even know, and I am the wizard that said it.
Tasini: Absolutely Shocking...
Azureon: No doubt there!

Fizzy Schizoid: Did you bring enough for everyone?
Midnight Blue: I sure did. And I'll bring enough for everyone again if I have to.
Fizzy Schizoid: You really need to cut back on that sort of thing.
Midnight Blue: Many people find my diamond collection interesting. I've been collecting them for the last 2 months. They're hard to find out here.
Fizzy Schizoid: Maybe it's about time you took a break from that.
Midnight Blue: Yes, perhaps. Ooh, look over there, it's a bunch of wild yosemite toads!
Fizzy Schizoid: Oh, yeah. It's scary over there.
Midnight Blue: Really? It wasnt a minute ago.

Din: I like alot of things, but have no particular favorites, what do you like?
Guest100: I like to see creative ideas in the making.
Din: What kind of things do you like to do on earth?
Guest100: What on earth do you think I like to do?
Din: Do think you like to a yet one on me.
Guest100: I'd love to yet one on you.

Din: Earth has animals on it correct? Do humans have any places where they group many differnt animals together and put them on display?
Guest77: Yes. we call them cities and we have tall cages which we call skyscrapers.
Din: really? cool! can we go to one pleeeeeease?!?! I'd like to go to one. Would you take me there? I want to see earths differnt creatures!
Guest77: Yes. I wills show you round. Earths animals come in many shapes and sizes. Some are fat, others wouldn't have any shape at all, if it wasn't for the hair on their legs.
Din: THANK YOU SO MUCH! *you go to the zoo with Din* Show me some animals please! Look at all the choices we can choose from! Take me to some please!!!
Guest77: We have animals in zoos as well, but they are no different from the ones in the cities.
Din: Why are they no different from the ones in the urban centers? doesn't that seem strange to you?
Guest77: No. At the beaches you will see dads carrying their off spring on their shoulders, just like monkeys. They also claim their own territories where they sleep and live. Just like other animals. So as you see ... there is no difference.

Guest77: the remainder is just what's left over after ... ?
Din: weeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Funny sounds are coming from you but I don't know what it means!
Guest77: Sorry. I just farted. Couldn't help it.
Din: its ok! I'm tougher then that!
Guest77: It would have been a good tune if it was fingered. Quick go get your bongos. I'll see if I can do another one.
