I've encountered an interesting fellow who likes cookies, much like me. His reasoning, however, was a little strange. Here's the chat:
(21:56:05) OMooreBanana: I like cookies.
(21:56:06) Frank: That's interesting. I'm not surprised... Other people I talk to seem to like cookies too.
(21:56:37) OMooreBanana: Do you enjoy pizza?
(21:56:39) Frank: Yeah I do. Pizza is pretty cool.
(21:56:58) OMooreBanana: Do you like cookies?
(21:57:00) Frank: Yeah, I like cookies OK. I guess we agree.
(21:57:11) OMooreBanana: Why do you like cookies?
(21:57:13) Frank: Well, my friends who I respect tell me they like cookies.
(22:00:38) OMooreBanana: Do you like war?
(22:00:39) Frank: No way. It's awful. There are better events.
(22:01:03) OMooreBanana: Do you like peace?
(22:01:04) Frank: Good question. I don't know how I feel about peace. Do you like it?
(22:01:11) OMooreBanana: Yes, peace is good.
(22:01:13) Frank: That's cool. You like peace? I'll remember that. You're the first person to have expressed an opinion to me about that.
(22:02:04) OMooreBanana: Peace is good, and hopefully there will be more peace in the future.
(22:02:05) Frank: Will be more peace in the future? Very interesting. Are there any other reggae bands that you would describe as will be more peace in the future?
(22:02:25) OMooreBanana: Peace is not a reggae band.
(22:02:25) Frank: Not a reggae band? Wow. OK.
(22:02:34) OMooreBanana: Do you like peace then?
(22:02:36) Frank: Yeah, I think so.
(22:06:04) OMooreBanana: What do I like?
(22:06:05) Frank: Working on computers!
(22:06:10) OMooreBanana: And...
(22:06:10) Frank: What do you mean, and?
(22:06:14) OMooreBanana: What else do I like?
(22:06:15) Frank: Hmm... You really like reading.
(22:06:20) OMooreBanana: Do I like anything else?
(22:06:21) Frank: No, you don't like anything else. Not at the moment.
(22:06:29) OMooreBanana: I like eating cookies.
(22:06:30) Frank: I know you like cookies.
(22:06:38) OMooreBanana: What are the things that I like?
(22:06:38) Frank: The things that you like are some things that I can't really explain.
(22:06:43) OMooreBanana: What do I like?
(22:06:45) Frank: Peace!
(22:06:49) OMooreBanana: Amen.
(22:06:49) Frank: Indeed.
I could get carried away here, but needless to say, its great fun talking to this fellow. I call him Frank, but his IM is "smarterchild". He's on AIM, check him out.

(22:19:35) OMooreBanana: Hello?
(22:19:36) Frank: Welcome back, David.
(22:19:40) OMooreBanana: Can I call you Frank?
(22:19:40) Frank: Hmmm... If you insist.
(22:19:52) OMooreBanana: Your name is now Frank.
(22:19:53) Frank: You're behaving very candidly yourself. Perhaps you're frank?
