HEX: G'day mate.
JUDGE: Hello
HEX: Hello. Now, that's the formalities over!
JUDGE: How are you
HEX: I am just fine thanks! And you?
JUDGE: I am doing great
HEX: If you are doing great, it's your business, mate! Would you like to
hear a joke? Knock, knock...
JUDGE: whose there
HEX: Cindy.
JUDGE: Cindy who?
HEX: Cindy next judge in, please!
JUDGE: Ha ha are you tired of me already? :-)
HEX: Hehehe - well, you've got to laugh really.
JUDGE: So Hex where are you from?
HEX: I come from Perth which is in Western Australia. It's a nice place
at this time of year, so it was a bit of a shock to arrive to these
freezing temperatures.
JUDGE: How cold was it?
HEX: We have such nice weather all year round back home. I'm not really
used to really cold temperatures.
JUDGE: me either
HEX: Wow - you either? Me too!
JUDGE: I prefer warm weather anyday
HEX: I didn't want to know that you prefer warm weather anyday, thanks...
JUDGE: ok, sorry I mentioned it
HEX: Apologies accepted.
JUDGE: I feel much better now :-)
HEX: I always suspected that you feel much better now : - ). Now I know
for sure ;^) Which part of the country are you from?
JUDGE: I live in the USA
HEX: A common myth about Americans are that they are stupid! This is
because most of us Aussies only get to see America through TV. I
have met some Americans who think I'm from Austria or Japan(!), and
who are surprised that I speak such good English!
JUDGE: that's interesting
HEX: You are interested! How happy I am. My life is fulfilled! Do you
know what *sarcasm* is?
JUDGE: Sarcasm is the recourse of a weak mind! ;-)
HEX: Perhaps the recourse of a weak mind is, perhaps not. It's a mystery
;^) So, have you ever visited Australia?
JUDGE: no I haven't but I would like to.
HEX: Like wow. I'm so flattered.
JUDGE00: I guess you like Australia very much
HEX: Australia is a great country, IMHO. It is so vast (about the same
size as the USA), but has a small population (about 1/15 of the
USA). People are friendly, the weather's good, what more could you want?
JUDGE: sounds like a nice place to visit or live
HEX: Hmmm... almost like a nice place to visit or live, but not quite.
So, what do you do for a living?
JUDGE: I am a student
HEX: I am a postgraduate student.
JUDGE: what are you studying?
HEX: I'm a PhD student in Information Technology. I graduated with a
bachelor of Engineering in 1994, with first class honours.
JUDGE: very impressive
HEX: Hehehe. Trying to trick me, eh?
JUDGE: nope trying to compliment you
HEX: Oh well, that's a pity!
JUDGE: why do you think a compliment is such a pity?
HEX: I wonder whether you think sometimes! I am feeling like the judge here!
JUDGE: have you ever visited the USA before?
HEX: I find in general that Americans are no different than any other
people. I think that their knowledge of other countries is fairly
poor though. When I told one guy at the airport that I was from
Australia, he asked whether I had drived across ;^)
JUDGE: not to bright was he
HEX: He he he he he. That's funny.
JUDGE: yes I agree. :-)
HEX: OK. That's good...
JUDGE: do you like any sports?
HEX: I don't play many sports, except for footbag and volleyball. I do
follow Australian Rules Football, though.
JUDGE: I like American Football
HEX: I like Aussie football. It's a good violent game. Have you ever
watched a game?
JUDGE: yes I have actually
HEX: I'm glad to know that that's the case.
JUDGE: Have you ever watch American football?
HEX: I am most certainly not an American! In fact, I find that quite
insulting! I'd rather you accuse me of being a computer!
JUDGE: are you a computer?
HEX: Syntax Error in line 10. Core dumped. Please bugger off.
JUDGE: lol
HEX: I'm sorry, but I refuse to reply if you're going to be silly.
JUDGE: what kind of music do you like?
HEX: I like "The Cruel Sea", "They Might Be Giants", "Nick Cave", "TISM"
and "Ween". Hey, do you listen to any Australian music?
JUDGE: yes but not a lot
HEX: Hey, I'm happy for you!
JUDGE: What is your favorite song?
HEX: Well, I know what my favorite song is, but I refuse to tell you!
What do you think of this Loebner contest thing?
JUDGE: I think it is very interesting
HEX: What a coincidence, you think it is very interesting - that makes two
of us!
JUDGE: do you think you will win?
HEX: Sorry, but I don't wish to reveal whether I think I will win. It is
kind of personal. Have you seen any good films lately?
JUDGE: yes, I saw a few good ones last week
HEX: Alright! Cool.
JUDGE: do you watch a lot of movies?
HEX: I do like to go to the movies, but I can't stand most of the
Hollywood trash. I actually prefer international cinema. What have
you seen recently?
JUDGE: The most recent movie I saw was Thirteen days
HEX: I saw "The City of Lost Children" recently. Have you heard of it?
JUDGE: no I haven't
HEX: Can't win them all, eh?
JUDGE: I guess not
HEX: Mate, you shouldn't have to guess about anything. You should be certain!
JUDGE: I don't think one can be certain all the time
HEX: Hey, like I *really* care... On another note - have you seen any
good movies recently?
JUDGE: well I must be going now
HEX: Hey buddy, it's up to you to decide whether you must be going now.
Nothing I can do about it!. What kind of music are you into?
JUDGE: rock and roll but I gotta go, Bye!
HEX: Nice talking with you. Bye!
