How to use Skype in pre-Facebook era

In this age of Facebook era, everyone tends to be online for 80% - 90% of all time to be just on the Facebooking. Heck, in fact the Skype ( a type of Instant messaging softwares) is integrating itself to the Facebook. By the way, I suddenly reminisce all the things we do when there are no Facebook yet at that time and we use IM to do all sorts of wacky stuffs . Such as follows

(1) Skyping each other using emoticons

In the past, mostly on Friday nights where there are nothing better to do, some of us would poke around and disturb pretty much anyone who is online. If the other party are as 'sporting' as you and too had much of free times at their hand , well you can Skype in emoticons all way long.


(2) Telling stories in Skype

Or if you are truly truly bored on a Sunday morning, well you can tell a story in emoticons too.

You can tell a story (which have double meaning) by the way. If your mind isn't that yellow minded , you can pretty much interpreted the whole story without that xXx stuffs . :D

Or if your imagination and creative thinking is not your kind of cup of tea , just tell some dirty jokes . :D 

(3) Discussing some programming homework over Skype (With some hillarious results)

 This only applies to anyone who had almost similiar programming style as me . Really hillarious if you copy and paste to your Skype and makes your friends goes 0_0 ... 

(4) Cheating in Skype games against friends. :P

Wolfram Alpha is your vocab friends in Hangman game if you are in doubt .....

(5) hHack any unused dial phone and plug it into computer 

Go figure out yourself on how to do this one instead. ;p

(P.S You will need a headphone, old dial up phone and water resistant dutch tape)

Bonus: I uploaded the Super Mario games animated gifs for you all to see. Not so random because there will be a lecturer who looks like Mario and he gonna teach us very soon (apparently next week) ....
