đź‘ŤMaximum Derekđź‘ŤICQ, One of the Oldest Instant Messengers, Is Shutting Down
Maple EngineerI met my wife on ICQ. I had random chat turned on and she said, “Hello.” That was a long time ago
FauxPseudo My standard reply was “hailing frequencies open.”
Needless to say it was the opening line that let multiple women know that I was single. Surprisingly it had a 100% success rate. I was the best nerd.
Did that line get you laid a lot?
The data is conflicting. I think they had already made up their mind on that topic before messaging me. My reply just reinforced their decision. It’s hard to separate causation and correlation in that case.
