Frank Answers: Instant Messaging, Democrat Infestation, Canadian Liberals, Cool Monkeys, and Ninja Stars

The hordes that use Instant Messengers are well, for the most part ignorant. No, not you, don't worry. But I was curious as to your preferred client? If you answer with "Trillian" I will love you forever (In a manly, respectful way).

What in God's name is Trillian? I use AIM, but I turn it off a lot because people are always using it to IM me which is really annoying. I got stuff to do, people! I don't have time to chat with smiley faces and what not. Sheesh...

As I was driving through town today, I saw that Democrats had established a campaign center. Here! In my town! I'm so disappointed to know that some of my neighbors might have some of those nasty tendencies. So I am wondering what you would suggest I do to combat this heinous incursion. Would it be appropriate to hire ninjas to break in during the cover of night and steal all their propaganda and leave monkeys to tend the shop? I realize that by doing so I would be inviting evil of another kind into my hometown, but wouldn't this be the lesser of two evils?
P.S. Do you think that it is possible that the Kerry campaign workers are really monkeys in disguise?

As for your P.S., the DNC doesn't disguise their monkeys.

Anyway, having a Democrat infestation can be annoying, but it's no reason for ninja shenanigans. Just go to pest control and have them isolate and spray the place. Any remaining Democrats should be destroyed by stamping.


The Bear writes:
As technically I live in the Dominion of Canada, when is the United States (on orders from Secretary of War Frank J.) going to dominate this country and rid us of our oppressors, the Liberal Party of Canada?

I pride myself in being completely ignorant of the politics in all other countries, so I'm not quite familiar with your problem. By my understanding, Canada basically has a one party system that keeps power through a sham democracy. We in America are quite busy bringing freedom elsewhere, so you may be better off trying to handle things yourself. It's not like your Liberal Party murders dissenters or cut off hands (do they?), so I bet they could be overthrown with a mild (but violent) coup. Why don't you get working on that, and maybe Canada will then be interesting enough to make the news for a change.


Vegesigo from Birmingham, AL writes:
I can understand your general hatred of monkeys, however, I was watching Lion King last night with my daughter and realized that the monkey in it is quite awesome. He is by far the wisest of all of the animals, is a bit mystical, and knows martial arts. What say you on this?

That monkey is the most dangerous of all, as he makes monkeys look cool. This can have horrible monkey influence on your daughter that may be hard to deprogram. Instead, have her watch a monkey-free movie of good American values such as Die Hard.


The All-Powerful LEM writes:
Hey, Frank! I gots a question for you.

Good. Otherwise you'd be wasting my time.

If I were to convert an automatic baseball pitching machine into a ninja-star throwing Assembly of Death, would the U.S. government buy the patent from me? Since you’re so smart and worldly, I bet you have better judgement on matters like this than I do.

If you don't think the government already has a machine to automatically throw ninja-stars, you're a fool. A FOOL!

Their device can throw knives, rocks, and hamsters too.

Sorry to shatter your dream, but, if you break into government buildings and read their secret weapons files, you could save yourself a lot of time in the future.

If you've got questions, I've got answers... maybe even answers to your questions. E-mail me your questions about politics, science, math, theology, or whatever with the subject "Frank Answers". Include the name you want to be referred by, your town, and URL if you have one.

http://www.trillian.cc/

It uses all the major IM services & integrates them into one buddly list. AOL, MSN, Yahoo, ICQ and IRC.

It's neato. I use it.

Where is that warehouse from "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and is the 100 mile per gallon carburerator still there?
I heard that Kerry bought it and put it in his "families' SUV?

#3 - Posted by: Tweav on October 7, 2004 02:19 PM

The Govt's ninja-star throwing Assembly of Death was tested on Richard Gere by using said hamsters.

Didn't a bunch of Union Thugs already bust into Bush Cheney locations and harass and loot them in Florida and Colorado? Screaming and whining about overtime pay *yawn*.

When I got my tv fixed last year, the idiot guy there said Bush was taking my overtime pay for me, which did not happen, I worked 41 hours over these past two weeks. Nice check, but bad taxes, ouch!

Needless to say, I won't be going back to that business.

The best thing to do is contribute and work on getting Dubya re-elected - then all of those Democommies / Deceptocrats will have to go back to the holes where they crawled from.

trillian sucks. just think of taking all the messaging services together, disabling half their features, and tripling their memory usage.

#6 - Posted by: Rikor on October 7, 2004 04:14 PM

Which is why you should be using Gaim.

Forget throwing knives and ninja stars. This is what the U.S. gov'munt is buying these days:

Metal Storm!

Bwahahaha

#8 - Posted by: KBiel on October 7, 2004 04:46 PM

gawd, I hate IM's, too. My girlfriend is always IMing me at work, and she works 2 cubicals, over. WT Fudge? Frank, help me! What do I do?

#9 - Posted by: Editor on October 7, 2004 05:30 PM

Have a Ninjas againts Kerry protest in front of the building. But only use the monkey poo dodging Ninjas or youll have one hell of a cleaning bill. Passerby's can give donations to the Ronin for assailment of anyone who ventures to close to the building....

#10 - Posted by: blainemono on October 7, 2004 05:33 PM

:( it's sad to see you say that Rikor. Trillian Pro gives you more options that all of those clients will never collectively have...

#11 - Posted by: Pat B. on October 7, 2004 07:57 PM

*ever

oops. typo.

#12 - Posted by: Pat B. on October 7, 2004 07:57 PM

I would have to agree with Rikor on this one. Trillian sucks. The only this it does is save you from haveing to sign on to different programs (which doesn't matter since I only use aim) and gets rid of all the good features. As for extra features, just use Deadaim (costs $) or middleman (doesn't cost $).

#13 - Posted by: LC Trucido on October 7, 2004 11:38 PM

Obviously Frank's having a Dan Rather moment, since EVERYONE knows that Frank knows ALL about Canada(da)

http://www.imao.us/archives/001272.html

#14 - Posted by: Harvey on October 8, 2004 12:26 AM

anyone out here ever hear about this thing called Linux? i hear there's a program them thar Linux users call Kopete that combines all IM programs into one protocol, dont know if any features are lost in the process

#15 - Posted by: moehawk on October 8, 2004 05:23 AM

Now all my dreams are shattered. Sniff.

#16 - Posted by: LEMadison on October 8, 2004 09:36 PM

You honestly think Canada is that boring? We don't make your news because your own people are busy shooting each other in their states of paranoia, as for your political leaders, ha, if they weren't so egotistical and stayed out of others countries affairs ppl mite not hate your country as much. So before you go talkin shit about canada, actually do some fact finding.
