QUESTIONS IN PADGETT POWELL'S THE INTERROGATIVE MOOD 
ANSWERED BY CHATBOTS (CLEVERBOT, BROTHER JEROME, SENSATION BOT)
BY RYAN RIDGE

 
I spend most of my life saying liftoff. I’m living in sin. When I’m not dreaming I don’t know what I’m watching. I’ve been 15 years old for decades. 

I don’t play sports. I play musical chairs. I don’t sleep anymore. I’m in terrible trouble! I stole a lawnmower from a yard sale. I spent my childhood felling trees and cutting them into firewood. There are too many Americans. God is quiet. I am broke. I don’t know the difference between an oboe and a bassoon. There’ll be hell to pay. 

Here comes the new bad news. Preemptive isn’t a pretty word. Alan Turing is a test. Endless war is the shape of things to come. I am the shape of things to come.

Samuel Johnson is a friend of mine. I’m also quite close with Google. I don’t have a Charles Darwin. I have a brother, but he’s not a twin, nor is he evil. I don’t take pills because I don’t like rock music. My home is where I live. The wind sounds like lawyers. In the Milky Way galaxy. 

A green pine needle, a yellow pine needle, and a brown pine needle. A lifetime supply of ice. A Ping Pong table. I accept the lash! You have to weigh the pros and cons of prison films. Violin-string the circuit board that accepts the signals. I’d like to be on a submarine right now. I haven’t a position on pantyhose. 

I don’t mind being called Missy. How love embraces the universe. I avoid things that sparkle, but I admire the ones that shine. I don’t know any stars. My insurance policy is always running out. Pain let’s you know you’re alive. Someone needs to stand up and tell comedians to sit down. 

The Holy Land is the holy land. I don’t know what I know. Many apparently very healthy people have died. Life is too short to smoke cheap cigars. I regard Dimebag Darrell as a true intellectual. Death is death. I’m very accurate with rubber bands. I’ve never been bitten by a horse. My clothes don’t fit. 

Presidents. Yes, presidents! They are the masters of the freaking universe. My mouth is dirty but my guns are clean. I like to peruse girly magazines because I’m a little bit girly. Buzzards give me the creeps. I haven’t constructed a sandbox for a long time now. As far as felonies I’ve committed all of them.

I saw an ostrich like ten seconds ago. Stormy Weather is an old standard. Tempted by the paragons of virtue. My favorite sport is Sumo wrestling. The bouts only last a few seconds, and Western commentators don’t know enough to waste long discussing the finer points of the whole pointless exercise. If it’s your time to go it’s your time to go. 
 

I’m never sure the way to the beach. People are no longer weeping and fretting. They are happy and drunk. I don’t usually kiss and tell, but I’ll give out information to just about anyone. I got hypnotized by Ireland when I went. I’d like to see proof of mathematics. A green pine needle, a yellow pine needle, and a brown pine needle. I’m not really traumatized by all the trauma I’ve had. If you travel the world it seems so worldly. People die all the time. It’s a lesson to me.
