Chat Chowder

Ingredients:

1 Net enhanced pc	1 chopped MIRC (Powwow or ICQ will do)
Yet another brain portion	1 microphone (keyboard will suffice)
1 set of headphones	1 acronym dictionary
A good sense of humour

Method:

In a medium sized pc melt a lump of MIRC,(Powwow or a sprinkle of ICQ will do). Add to this a portion of your brain and cook until golden brown.

In a separate container mix up equal parts of time, money and drive space and add this to the cooked brain mixture. To add texture to the chowder, you should now add the microphone, headphones and acronym dictionary. Cook for about 20 mins, or until you have cricked your neck attaching the peripherals.

To add spice to the mixture, throw in a good sprinkling of online friends, lovers and various weirdos and give the whole thing a good stir.

To test if the chowder is cooked, look deeply into the pc and if you see a split screen, lots of unrelated alphanumerics, beeps or robotic speech, you have genuine chat chowder.

Serve daily with a side order of munchies and cups of coffee.
