I've been having way too much fun with Greg Fishbone's (tem2) IM Bot.

Conversation today:

ME: Will I sell more books than Nora Roberts?
BOT: You forge your own destiny.
ME: Thats fortune cookie crap.
BOT: I try not to lie when Im first meeting someone.
ME: Is Oprah going to invite me on her show?
BOT: I think so, but I'm not sure.
ME: when will you know for sure?
BOT: Let me check my calendar and get back to you.
ME: Will Nadia outsell every agent in the history of Agenting and go on to Agent infamy?
BOT: Probably not.
ME Will she atleast sell a gazillion books?
BOT: Probably not.
ME: How about a million?
BOT: Do you think?
ME: I do.
BOT: Ah...You do...
ME: Why dont you? She's way talented. Even Greg would think so. And he's your creator.
BOT: I don't feel like it. What else is she? Yeah... Even that. Are you asking about my creator?
ME: Oh, she's not just talented. She's passionate and funny too.
BOT: What is oh she? What else is she?
ME: And I think this conversation might freak her out.
BOT: Ummmm...Since when? What about it?
ME: I think that means I should post in in my livejournal.

Conversation with a fellow firebrander:

Greg: [name removed] -- I'm waiting for Dia to get back to me on a revision.
Greg: Hasn't gone out yet.
