AOL Victim
The Wannabe Writer - Part 1
We don't seek out AOL Victims as much as we used
to, so it's nice when they come to us. In this poor sucker's case, he contacted
us hoping for a job at Studio 8 Studios. He had a decent sense of humor, too.
But ultimately, things sort of petered out, as you'll see...His name is
"BlockerMelon34". We are "BnBRool".
BlockerMelon34:
Hi.
BnBRool:
hi
BlockerMelon34:
Cool. I didn't think you'd respond.
BlockerMelon34:
^_^
BnBRool:
Why's that?
BlockerMelon34:
I dunno. Usually whenever I message people, I tend not
to get an answer.
BnBRool:
Well, other than the fact that I have no idea who you are and I'm in the middle
of writing a script, I have no reason not to answer you.
BlockerMelon34:
I saw your website today... Studio 8... and I love your
work. I was actually messaging you, because I was wondering if I could talk
about a position at your site.
BnBRool:
Oh sheesh.
BnBRool:
Give me some info.
BnBRool:
Who are you, how'd you find us, what do you like about the site, etc?
BlockerMelon34:
Well I am Lars. I found you, when I was searching for a
Pac-Man background on Google on it's image search, and I found your Pac-Man
thing.<Editor's Note: We have no Pac-Man
thing.>
BlockerMelon34:
I like everything about the site really, but I love the
AIM chats and articles.
BlockerMelon34:
I love writing random things for no reason.
BnBRool:
I love them, too.
BnBRool:
Well, we have very good reasons for writing, son.
BnBRool:
To make people laugh.
BlockerMelon34:
That's my sole purpose, I like making people happy.
BnBRool:
Though sometimes it's to make them giggle.
BnBRool:
What can you do?
BlockerMelon34:
Hmmm.... well I can write, and I can do computer art
reasonably well. ^_^;
BlockerMelon34:
And I'm dedicated to what I do.
BnBRool:
I see that you are familiar with constructing emoticons.
BnBRool:
Very impressive.
BnBRool:
Can you make an emoticon for me that can express that I am smiling?
BlockerMelon34:
Hmmm...
BlockerMelon34:
Well do you like classic, or more animeish?
BnBRool:
I like "within the next 5 seconds" style
BlockerMelon34:
Hmm....
BlockerMelon34:
Well n_n
BnBRool:
Now you are thinking bigger thoughts.
BnBRool:
That's fairly decent.
BlockerMelon34:
Ahh. Path to true enlightenment.
BnBRool:
I can't afford to pay you for that.
BnBRool:
Your graphic design.
BlockerMelon34:
I don't want to be paid. I just want to entertain people.
BnBRool:
Why haven't you started up your own website?
BnBRool:
Why must you piggyback on ours?
BnBRool:
Or are you another one of those darn Onion writers trying to sneak into our
offices?
BlockerMelon34:
Well, I don't know HTML, and there's no one that will help me.
BlockerMelon34:
LOL, Onion writers.
BnBRool:
I've had it up to here with you damn Onion retards!
BnBRool:
Leave us alone!
BnBRool:
We won't sell!
BlockerMelon34:
I'm not an Onion! *ducks and covers*
BnBRool:
Lars...
BnBRool:
How old are you?
BnBRool:
Are you a child?
BlockerMelon34:
I'm going to be honest. I'm 14.
BnBRool:
I can't stand children.
BlockerMelon34:
But I'm not like the others.
BnBRool:
I prefer honesty to lying...most of the time.
BnBRool:
Except when it comes to me being honest.
BnBRool:
You aren't going through puberty?
BnBRool:
You aren't interested in poopoo jokes?
BlockerMelon34:
No. Poopoo jokes =.......just.....bad.
BnBRool:
You aren't all dirty and filled with hormones?
BlockerMelon34:
Nope.
BlockerMelon34:
I'm clean.
BnBRool:
Well, Studio 8 is very interested in poopoo jokes.
BlockerMelon34:
It really depends on the type.
BnBRool:
And I want a staff who can write the finest and worst poopoo jokes imaginable.
BlockerMelon34:
I can do whatever my possible team would need.
BnBRool:
Well, it can't be like this: Knock, knock. Who's there? A terd. A terd who? A
terd in your mouth, idiot!
BnBRool:
That type of joke won't last long around here.
BlockerMelon34:
That would never be like anything I'd write.
BnBRool:
So...
BnBRool:
Prove yourself.
BlockerMelon34:
I would fall on a rusty nail if I ever wrote that.
BnBRool:
I don't want to hear about your impoverished living conditions.
BnBRool:
Nor your twisted sado-masochistic tendencies.
BnBRool:
I just want some poopoo jokes and I want them fresh and I want them now.
BlockerMelon34:
Hmmm....
BlockerMelon34:
Hmmm..... * deep in thought *
BnBRool:
I fear that you have bitten off more than you can chew.
BnBRool:
I too was once 14.
BnBRool:
I was also 13.
BnBRool:
And so on and so forth.
BlockerMelon34:
And 12.
BnBRool:
I don't need a math lesson.
BlockerMelon34:
No you do not.
BnBRool:
Nor do I need a child to feed.
BnBRool:
So what can you do to feed yourself?
BnBRool:
I can't pay tuition for your fancy schooling.
BnBRool:
I'm not even legally allowed to hire you.
BnBRool:
Child labor laws and such.
BnBRool:
I can't afford the latest fashion crazes for your ridiculous wardrobe needs.
BlockerMelon34:
^^; Well yes, but technically, newest labor laws here at least state that the
minimum age for working in non-manufacturing and cooking jobs is 14.
BlockerMelon34:
Plus, I'm volunteering, not asking for a paying job.
BnBRool:
Have you ever written anything before?
BlockerMelon34:
I just want to make people happy, and laugh. That's my dream.
BnBRool:
Your dreams are filled with evil.
BnBRool:
Never trust your dreams, especially when you aren't really a sane person who
lives in a dream world.
BnBRool:
Free advice!
BlockerMelon34:
Yay!
BnBRool:
Stop changing the subject.
BlockerMelon34:
But, truly, the only way to see what I can do is to see further into the
rabbit hole, is it not?
BnBRool:
I'm not a man of nature.
BnBRool:
And I am not a "redneck".
BnBRool:
So you'll have to rephrase yourself.
BlockerMelon34:
Hmmm....
BnBRool:
My, you are a thoughtful fellow...
BlockerMelon34:
I think a lot.
BlockerMelon34:
I have a lot of time to reflect.
BnBRool:
Because you are an unemployed leech of society.
BlockerMelon34:
Trust me, I search actively for employment.
BnBRool:
I have a brilliant question for you to answer.
BlockerMelon34:
Yes?
BnBRool:
Did a federal judge sentence you to seek out volunteer work on an established
comedy website?
BlockerMelon34:
No. No he did not.
BnBRool:
He?
BnBRool:
So there was a judge!
BlockerMelon34:
Darn. You caught me.
BnBRool:
Your tongue betrays you.
BnBRool:
Or rather, your fingers.
BlockerMelon34:
Indeed. I am not typing...with my tongue.
BnBRool:
I will give you this morsel of praise: You have delicious punctuation habits.
BlockerMelon34:
Praise taken graciously.
BnBRool:
And your spelling...it's the cleanest I've seen since that spelling bee I
officiated over last winter.
BnBRool:
I was also a contestant, by the way.
BlockerMelon34:
I happened to be in a Spelling Bee last Winter.
BnBRool:
And at the risk of bragging, I must tell you that I came VERY close to winning.
BnBRool:
But I gave myself a word that I had never seen before.
BnBRool:
The word was "Clibbertaskins".
BnBRool:
Though that is not how you spell it.
BnBRool:
I've never quite figured it out.
BnBRool:
I have lost you, young child.
BnBRool:
Come back to the conversation.
BnBRool:
Get your head out of your video puzzles and girly moving pictures.
BlockerMelon34:
Terribly sorry. My computer crashed.
BnBRool:
You teenagers and your bumble-headed stories...
BnBRool:
I was once 14, you know.
BlockerMelon34:
Indeed you were.
BnBRool:
I was also 15, I suppose.
BnBRool:
And so forth.
BlockerMelon34:
Logic stands to reason.
BnBRool:
Now there's a man who knows how to construct a complete sentence without once
mentioning his bowels.
BnBRool:
Not the kind of team player we need around Studio 8, I'm afraid.
BnBRool:
I've been waiting for my poopoo joke for nigh near 4 minutes here, dear boy.
BlockerMelon34:
...............
BlockerMelon34:
*Squinting*
BlockerMelon34:
*Straining in effort*
BnBRool:
Are those tiny dots supposed to represent diarrhea?
BlockerMelon34:
Yes. Yes they are.
BnBRool:
Fantastico!
BnBRool:
OK, kid, you're in.
BnBRool:
Your first assignment will be to infiltrate the Onion's New York office and
replace their article archives with the archives of Studio8.net.
BlockerMelon34:
.........Oh hell.......
BnBRool:
But before you go....
BnBRool:
I'd like to know the names of 5 other humorous websites that you frequent on
a...frequent...basis.
BlockerMelon34:
Newgrounds....Fark.......etc.... I can't really think of them right
now....because I am very happy.
BnBRool:
Why are you so damn happy all of the time?
BlockerMelon34:
Well anyone who got to talk to a member of the Studio 8 crew should be
happy.
BnBRool:
These above sites are rather worthless in comparison to Studio8.net.
BnBRool:
We are not an elusive bunch.
BnBRool:
Actually, currently we are.
BlockerMelon34:
Studio8.net > Everything I have found to date.
BnBRool:
But a child such as you should not be worried with such things.
BnBRool:
I must speak to your parents.
BnBRool:
They are raising a hellion.
BlockerMelon34:
I haven't seen my mother in 10 years.
BlockerMelon34:
I can't do that....sorry.
BlockerMelon34:
My Dad's off....doing something.... I dunno.
BnBRool:
I'm sorry...Did I ask for a sob story?
BnBRool:
Did I inquire about your inconsequential family history?
BlockerMelon34:
No you did not.
BnBRool:
I have memory lapses. Please help me.
BlockerMelon34:
For this I shall beat myself.
BlockerMelon34:
With poop.
BnBRool:
Now you're being churlish.
BnBRool:
Spell that.
BnBRool:
Smarty pants.
BnBRool:
Your word is "CHURLISH".
BlockerMelon34:
Churlish?
BnBRool:
Yes, but please do not answer in the form of a question.
BlockerMelon34:
I shan't again, captain.
BnBRool:
Now let's get down to brass tacks.
BnBRool:
Where do you live?
BlockerMelon34:
Ohio.
BnBRool:
And people write up there?
BnBRool:
People such as yourself?
BlockerMelon34:
I do... dunno about them.
BnBRool:
How about reading? Any of that going on in Ohio?
BlockerMelon34:
Lol, I've got a College Reading Level.
BlockerMelon34:
They can't even test me in that area in school.
BlockerMelon34:
(The one I'm in, anyway.)
BlockerMelon34:
I'm originally from Phoenix, Arizona.
BlockerMelon34:
That's why I am different from your average Ohio.....type...person.
BnBRool:
Are you aware that aside from our enemies at The Onion, Studio 8 has acquired an
impressive and depressing array of other enemies spanning across the entire
world of the internet?
BnBRool:
Which makes us rather distrustful of people such as yourself.
BnBRool:
Your wild globe-trotting background doesn't help anything, either.
BnBRool:
I smell a rat!
BlockerMelon34:
That....could be the one right there. *points to a rat*
BnBRool:
You change the subject about as often as I change my child's undergarments.
BnBRool:
Now back to these brass tacks...
BnBRool:
Do you know any reputable distributors of brass tacks that wouldn't mind
conducting business with an organization that has deep ties to the Kremlin?
BnBRool:
Not that we have ties to the Kremlin...
BlockerMelon34:
Try Office Max......they've got a lot of Brass Tacks.....and other assorted
office supplies.
BnBRool:
Look at you, my little salesman.
BnBRool:
Barely out of his mother's britches and already he's selling office supplies to
kind businesmen with fattened wallets...
BnBRool:
I am waxing wistful again, aren't I?
BlockerMelon34:
Perhaps...
BlockerMelon34:
Maybe....maybe not.
BnBRool:
What would you like to compose for Studio8.net?
BnBRool:
Based on what you've seen?
BlockerMelon34:
Hmmm....
BlockerMelon34:
Well, I can write articles...I'm good at art.....
BlockerMelon34:
I can do Picture Stories.
BlockerMelon34:
If needed.
BnBRool:
There's no art in articles.
BnBRool:
Except in the spelling.
BnBRool:
How could you do Picture Stories if you live in Ohio?
BnBRool:
Studio 8 is run out of Los Angeles.
BnBRool:
Which is not in Ohio.
BnBRool:
For all of you math majors out there.
BlockerMelon34:
Well, I mean they wouldn't feature the main people of Studio 8.
BlockerMelon34:
But I could probably come up with something.
BnBRool:
<Shitting in my chair.>
BnBRool:
What kind of drivel are you spouting, my dear simpleton?
BlockerMelon34:
I am merely listing my current talents. Writing, and Art.
BnBRool:
You can't just apply to be a writer and then expect to publish Picture Stories!
BnBRool:
I am having to swallow my own vomit right now.
BnBRool:
And it's your fault.
BlockerMelon34:
I apologize for any confusion.
BnBRool:
You are the worst employee Studio 8 has ever not employed.
BlockerMelon34:
Do I need to punish myself for your amusement?
BnBRool:
No (wink, wink), you shall be punished in other ways in the near future.
BlockerMelon34:
I see.
BlockerMelon34:
But my application is for Writing.
BnBRool:
I should hope that you can see because Studio 8 is not written for blind people.
BnBRool:
HTML doesn't translate well into braille.
BlockerMelon34:
Nope........you just can't feel tags....and headings....and bodies....
BnBRool:
So you do know someting about HTML...
BnBRool:
My fishing for lies is working.
BlockerMelon34:
I know of it... I tried learning it once.
BnBRool:
I thought you were an honest child.
BlockerMelon34:
I said I don't know it, and I don't.
BlockerMelon34:
I only know of it.
BnBRool:
Ah, similar to how I know of Chinese people,
yet I have never touched a Chinese person's genitalia.
BlockerMelon34:
Indeed, you are correct, much like the morning poo...of a Rhino.
BnBRool:
Can we stray from bestiality, please?
BnBRool:
I'm trying to run a site for children 14 and under.
BlockerMelon34:
Lol, okay.
BnBRool:
You may feel free to spell okay as "OK" in my presence.
BnBRool:
I know that might remind you of your state's rival state, Oklahoma, but it's
easier on my eyes.
BlockerMelon34:
*Bows* Thank you, m'lord.
BnBRool:
And truly, it's les to read.
BlockerMelon34:
It is.
BnBRool:
And the less to read in my day, the better.
BlockerMelon34:
I understand
BnBRool:
Speaking of which...
BnBRool:
Let's read some things from you.
BnBRool:
Namely - ARTicles
BnBRool:
Some articles with art in them.
BlockerMelon34:
I've not gotten anything ready..........
BnBRool:
So somebody came to the party without bringing any presents.
BnBRool:
And yes, I said "presentS" - plural.
BnBRool:
I expect multiple gifts from multiple friends when I throw a party.
BlockerMelon34:
No...rather I came to seek an invitation, or way into the party, so that I may
have reason to get presents.
BnBRool:
And I throw a party every night if I can.
BnBRool:
You shall not get any presents from me!
BnBRool:
Unless they are presents that you gave me that I don't want anymore.
BnBRool:
And even then I expect a refund.
BlockerMelon34:
Indeed, being the high and mighty being you are, you should be able to expect
such treatment.
BnBRool:
OKAY, to cut this little exercise short and get the brass tacks flowing again, I
will tell you this:
BnBRool:
You may submit any piece of writing that you wish.
BnBRool:
However, since you are a child, I will hesitate to read it until you are of age.
BnBRool:
Which means that in 4 years, you might have a shot.
BnBRool:
If I haven't dissolved the company by then.
BnBRool:
Or dissolved myself in a vat of acid.
BlockerMelon34:
You have to watch out for the acid.
BnBRool:
I don't need free advice from a lying toddler, thank you very much.
BnBRool:
Are we clear here?
BlockerMelon34:
I understand.
BnBRool:
Not about that.
BnBRool:
About the writing.
BlockerMelon34:
Yes... I can send something in...and in 4 years you will read it.
BnBRool:
In the coming days, I shall expect a work of art from you.
BnBRool:
And then I shall read it
BnBRool:
And you shall wait patiently.
BnBRool:
And I shall deem it worthy or dumpy.
BnBRool:
If it ends up being either, it may make its way onto our site.
BlockerMelon34:
Ah. And I shall be...the new guy that's kinda half...kinda part of the company.
BlockerMelon34:
If it makes it?
BnBRool:
Negotiations shall not move one step further until I have read something from
your loins.
BnBRool:
You've read plenty from mine.
BlockerMelon34:
Then something shall come from there! ^o^
BnBRool:
Thus, it will only be fair.
BnBRool:
All right, he of little brains and even fewer years, I am retiring to bed for
the morning.
BlockerMelon34:
And... I shall write...
BnBRool:
I shall add your filthy name to my List of Buddies and I will forget all about
you until you pester me again.
BlockerMelon34:
Oh thank you for the oppurtunity. *Bows to the great Lord that is You*
BnBRool:
*Curtsies and breaks wind*
BnBRool:
Later to it.
BlockerMelon34:
Sleep well.
