WestwardSalmon (2:58:16 AM): http://youtube.com/watch?v=wv5A6LnIXz4
Akuwaneko (2:58:47 AM): Do I...know you?
WestwardSalmon (2:59:18 AM): ...Very doubtfully. Why did you IM me, that being asked? o_O
Akuwaneko (3:00:04 AM): I...did not.
Akuwaneko (3:00:26 AM): Honestly, I have no idea how this came about.
WestwardSalmon (3:00:29 AM): ...Youuu... sent me a Mass Effect youtube URL out of the blue?
WestwardSalmon (3:00:37 AM): Well, that makes two of us. o_o
Akuwaneko (3:00:38 AM): I sent you nothing.
WestwardSalmon (3:00:44 AM): 'k.
Akuwaneko (3:00:50 AM): I have no idea who you are. > w <
Akuwaneko (3:01:01 AM): Well, that was weird.
WestwardSalmon (3:01:05 AM): ...>n>
WestwardSalmon (3:01:10 AM): Are you sure?
Akuwaneko (3:01:25 AM): Am I sure of what?
WestwardSalmon (3:01:33 AM): That you  have no idea who I am.
WestwardSalmon (3:01:40 AM): Or that you didn't send me anything.
Akuwaneko (3:01:41 AM): Well, uh...
Akuwaneko (3:02:02 AM): I'm sure I didn't send you anything, since the link was in the IM box when I opened it.
WestwardSalmon (3:02:10 AM): ..?
WestwardSalmon (3:02:13 AM): I got this:
WestwardSalmon (3:02:16 AM): RestrainedSalmon: http://youtube.com/watch?v=wv5A6LnIXz4
queen anise: Er? Who's this?
RestrainedSalmon: Do I...know you?
Akuwaneko (3:02:36 AM): I got this:
Akuwaneko (3:02:37 AM): WestwardSalmon (2:58:16 AM): http://youtube.com/watch?v=wv5A6LnIXz4
Akuwaneko (2:58:47 AM): Do I...know you?
WestwardSalmon (3:02:54 AM): ...What the fuck, salmons!
Akuwaneko (3:02:56 AM): ...Wait
Akuwaneko (3:03:06 AM): That's...bizarre.
Akuwaneko (3:03:18 AM): And...well, possible.
WestwardSalmon (3:03:25 AM): ...It really is. o_O;;
WestwardSalmon (3:03:28 AM): Possible??
Akuwaneko (3:03:46 AM): I should think that hacking AIM would not be an amazingly hard task-
Akuwaneko (3:03:57 AM): the program has many flaws already. XP
WestwardSalmon (3:03:58 AM): Yeah, but to spread a mass effect video?
WestwardSalmon (3:04:01 AM): Yeah. XD
WestwardSalmon (3:04:09 AM): Well...fuck, that's...really weird.
Akuwaneko (3:04:28 AM): So, our own usernames aren't even showing up?
Akuwaneko (3:04:42 AM): Because yours says "Westward Salmon"
WestwardSalmon (3:04:57 AM): Nope. I didn't see Akuwaneko as your SN until you showed me what you got on your end. You're "Restrained Salmon" on my window.
WestwardSalmon (3:05:02 AM): My actual SN is "queen anise"
Akuwaneko (3:05:16 AM): That is so weird!
Akuwaneko (3:05:41 AM): And who names their little daemons "Salmon" anyway, that's dumb.
WestwardSalmon (3:06:05 AM): Seriously. I am not a fish, sir or ma'am behind this hacking.
Akuwaneko (3:06:14 AM): I'm not a fish either.
Akuwaneko (3:06:31 AM): I'm sure he/she is enjoying him/herself
Akuwaneko (3:06:42 AM): and I'm way too lazy to do anything about it...
Akuwaneko (3:06:45 AM): XD
WestwardSalmon (3:06:48 AM): Probably.
WestwardSalmon (3:06:55 AM): I'm way too ignorant to do anything about it.. XD
WestwardSalmon (3:07:01 AM): (That is I'd have no idea what to do.)
Akuwaneko (3:07:25 AM): Oh, right~ I understand.
WestwardSalmon (3:07:54 AM): Well, uh, for the record, nice to meet you 'pon this strange happenstance.
WestwardSalmon (3:07:57 AM): o_0
Akuwaneko (3:08:23 AM): Uh, yeah- it was...interesting!
WestwardSalmon (3:08:37 AM): Yeah, certainly!
Akuwaneko (3:08:49 AM): Would you mind if I blogged it?
Akuwaneko (3:09:04 AM): It wouldn't make much of a difference, and I would block out your username.
WestwardSalmon (3:09:04 AM): XD By all means, go ahead. Ahaha.
WestwardSalmon (3:09:17 AM): Oh, no, that's not required. I'm easy.
Akuwaneko (3:09:25 AM): Okay, then.
WestwardSalmon (3:09:27 AM):


LOL @ Salmon names. Evidently, to this user I appeared as "Restrained Salmon" while she was "Westward Salmon".

Hackers are funny creatures. No wonder I'm obsessed with them. XD

Salmon bot, browses for aim screenames. Messages two users and forwards responses. Very similar to thegreathatsby, although these are by project upstream.
Thegreathatsby was funnier, "i say, old bean, have you seen my hat?" :p
damaged_lilacs From: [info]damaged_lilacs Date: June 13th, 2008 08:06 am (UTC) (Link)
Oh, there's a community for it too. [info]themissinghat.
akuwa_neko From: [info]akuwa_neko Date: June 13th, 2008 09:06 am (UTC) (Link)
I found it soon afterwards yeah. XD

They focus on LiveJournal users though, don't they?

That is a seriously hilarious bot. xDD;;;

But a youtube link....? You'd think they'd introduce people with something a little more odd.
akuwa_neko From: [info]akuwa_neko Date: June 13th, 2008 10:44 pm (UTC) (Link)
If you look at the community themissinghat you can see that they actually change that "tag line" every time they do it. Everything from random movie quotes, to political statements. XD

It was so much fun. I can't wait to have it happen again~

It just happened to me! @___@ I googled "westwardsalmon" and came up with this and multiple other instances...thanks for saving me s.s
akuwa_neko From: [info]akuwa_neko Date: June 20th, 2008 05:12 am (UTC) (Link)
Ha-ha, no problem! That's really why I posted it to begin with. ;D
eiricmacbean From: [info]eiricmacbean Date: June 29th, 2008 09:41 pm (UTC) (Link)
Well...that explains the odd names popping up in my buddy list...but they never said anything! Maybe my using Trillian has something to do with that.
Thanks for the helpful info!
akuwa_neko From: [info]akuwa_neko Date: June 30th, 2008 12:57 am (UTC) (Link)
I'm not too familiar with trillion, but if the names had the word "salmon" in them, then most likely that's the case. :)

Glad I could help.

This just happened to me with this person. Oddness.
akuwa_neko From: [info]akuwa_neko Date: July 28th, 2008 06:11 pm (UTC) (Link)
Well, anyone who's screen name is readily available on LiveJournal, dA or Xanga can get "salmoned". It's a common thing nowadays. :)
