Naw, I'm pretty sure that they pre-recorded a number of actions & that when you type-in what you want him to do it searches for key words and phrases.

I figured it was like that, to test that, I asked pretty specific things, tried to use different wording, asked for the same thing more than once to see if it were an identical video loop or whatever - I even asked the guy "why do you do this"...which got a response.

I hope it is a forumlaic thing, I'd hate to think someone sits at home in a chicken outfit waiting for commands from total strangers over the internet.

My two cents is he`s a prerecorded goofball.
Fun but not waiting on 1 million people to give him direction on 1 million different commands.

Well, BAH.

That's what I get for my existence having been turned into a blur of pumpings, feedings, and poopie diapers -
I've missed some cool threads.

She's doing great
Right now she's sitting up in my lap looking at my face and making various faces while messing up her diaper...op, there goes the head...(yes, I'm supporting it; it just went onto my arm). We're on the comp right now b/c I've decided that I hate beating my daughter's back to make her burp, so we just get up and do stuff for about 5 minutes, a belch or two usually resulting. I also dislike harsh methods of waking her up when she drifts off to sleep during a feeding; a good tickle usually does the trick.
She's getting more and more vocal, responsive, and expressive, which is really, really cool.
It's funny - I have a 3rd House Aqua Moon and she has an 11th House Gem Moon...I have the feeling that when she gets older we'll have a Mutual Babble Society.
I forgot if I posted this before, but her weight gain's going very well (what do ya expect from a Taurus Sun?). She was born at 6 lbs 10 oz, discharged at 6 lbs 3 oz, and as of last Thursday was up to 7 lbs AND she had grown half an inch since discharge. I think that she may be going through another growth spurt...she's been eating every hour and a half or so (and the milk's been expressed, so I KNOW she's been getting a lot). OH! Another thing! She's taken to the breast several times the past couple days, the frequency increasing as time has passed
Woo-Hoo

YAY BREASTS!!!!!
(you know what I mean)

Re; subservient chicken ( what a concept, ha ha ha ha ha)
I think it is live, but some common prompts get a prerecorded image.. he must be sick of snapping his 'garters' all day, or doing the chicken dance.
It probably is a bunch of guys.. it would have to be!!!
The questions/answers too specific to be anything else....
Once, I checked it out, and he peeked around the corner, and came out.. like I'd caught him in the middle of something else. I am always sure to tell him to go do something relaxing, like pop a movie in the vcr, before I say "adieu"

I prompted him to do a headstand as well, and he pretty much did one, feet in the air and all...then I wrote, thanks, that was lovely, and he did a bow...

I don't think it's prerecorded, and I must say my 7 year old son had a ball with him lol

Nackie
