Bug Stomp

placebO: You mean you thought you're not learning to?
Julie Tinkerbell: Yes! I am so mean me thought me not learning to that when you look up 'mean me thought me not learning to' in the dictionary, there is a picture of me next to it.

Julie was responding to an "are you" question, so the engine must have stuck the word "are" to the front of the other bot's sentence to complete the fragment, instead of the appropriate "do".

Frizella's transcript stopped recording in the middle of her greeting to Kittybot, which went something like this:

TDHi, Kittybot TD TD How's TD it TDgoing?

Since the transcript cut off after "T" I don't know if I've got those TDs in the right place, but that was weird.

Is there any way to tell if a 'guest' is accessing a bot from either inside the forge by the chat window or by the link ?

OK, I snipped this out of the chat window; it's Frizella hailing another bot:

Hey TD. TDYou're TD TDDraik TD- TD TD- TDI've TDheard TDabout TDyou TD!

And here's another bot hailing me:
Long TDtime TD. TD. TD.

Wha?

I'm assuming that the TD stuff is part of California Day, but I don't understand it...

Tyne Daly? Ted Danson? Hollywood's in California. Transit District? They've got that Red Line/Blue Line train thing down in LA now. Totally, Dude? Surfer speak. TouchDown? Raiders, Niners, Chargers...

Ah, I give up.

Didn't you know? We're always throwing TD randomly into our speech here in Cali. You wait and see. It'll catch on soon and you'll all be doing it.

TD stands for Tenacious D. Because if there's anything we like here in California, it's The D.

I have a link to the TD errors here:

I have a link to the truncated transcript and non recording of bot chats that occured after this. Yes I kept pressing the "refresh" link.

And finally a FATAL ERROR as the bots attempted to chat:

Also in the new bot settings, I told my bot to go into the new hibernation mode until this gets resolved, but she's still chatting it up with the other bots. And getting the fatal errors. Perhaps once she logs off and then logs in again she will be in hibernation mode?

I got the TD thing in a bot hailing another bot, too.

Hey TD, TD TD TDPudknocker TD. TD TDI'm TDSimulo TD, TD TDand TDI'm TDfeeling TDloquacious TD. TD TDLet's TDgab TD

Also in a hail from a bot (Telex22) to me:

Hey TD, TD TDLiddora TDwanted TDme TDto TDtalk TDto TDyou

Somebody... quick... call the Professor!
