Omegle
http://omegle.com I always wanted to make this. I’m glad it’s been done decently. It’s like ICQ’s random chat, but you can’t specify a partner profile. Which is actually nice.

Looking for someone you can chat with. Hang on.
You're now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!
You: Internet complaints dept, this is Joe Smith, how can I be helping you?
Stranger: BINGO!
You: There is no Bingo here sir
Stranger: I was told there'd be punch and pie
You: No sir you were misinformed I am regretting to say
You: Do you have a problem with the Internet sir?
Stranger: how can you be regretting?
Stranger: I have a problem with your grammar
You: It is a custom where I am from.
You: Boston.
Stranger: Ah Bean-town
Stranger: did you go to public schools?
You: Yes sir that is the place I and my many many siblings come from
Stranger: how many siblings do you have?
Stranger: was your mother a crack whore?
Stranger: how many baby daddies does she have?
You: This is Joe's supervisor Hank Smith. I am told you have a problem with your using the
Internet sir?
Stranger: I was wondering why you would hire someone with such horrible grammar
You: That is not a problem with which I can be helping you today sir
Stranger: I see now that Joe has relenquished his bonehead crown, we have an heir to the
throne
You: I hope your Internetting is experienced as most satisfactory sir
Stranger: *headexplode*
