Kickass. Thats one I came up on my own, or got from somebody and forgot that I got it from somebody and thusly infered that I came up with it on my own.

Well, I use this one.
I'll be back when I am back, so talk to you then, because I can't talk when I am not here. So when I get back here I can talk but until then I won't be here, so I can't talk, or type for that matter, to you at least, unless there, which is where I am, has a computer. But that's beside the point because I am talking about now, being here and here is not there, so it wouldn't be possible to talk from here because I would be there and not here.. so I could talk to you from there but it wouldn't be here unless I appear to be there and it might become here, but that is impossible because they would have to be in different places or else they wouldn't be able to be different spots, so there couldn't be here or the entire space time thing would be wrong and do you understand that I can't talk?

I'm not here right now. Well, right now I am, like when I'm typing this, which is now. Which is then, becuase you're reading this now, which is later, once i finish typing this. Which would be then. AHHHH!
There are three types of people in this world, those who can count, and those who can't.
But I usually just use "Be right back" or something like that.

Original or not, I mostly use these two:

"Multi-tasking: I can ignore and insult you at the same time!"

"Silence is golden, and if you want to talk to me, you're already in debt"
No conscience. No law. No stopping them....

....well, maybe a Happy Meal would do it.

I am not here. However, if you had not messaged me, then I would have been in an eternal state of both being here, and not being here. Thank you for freeing me from the hell-like atmosphere of limbo.

All of my away messages relating to school involve me pretending that I'm stuck in an RPG. Studying and homework are 'leveling up.' Tests are 'boss battles' and projects are 'sub-quests' (because my main quest is...the quest for knowledge!). My final battles (final exams) have the most annoying theme music ever; it's a techno-ed up remix of our Alma Mater with the marching band's lyrics and a chanting choir in the background. Be glad in only exists in my mind, for it is even more disturbing than it sounds. :twisted:

Laugh if you must, but it makes me far more inclined to do my homework. :P

"Food is served. I will be back in a short while."

Unlike some strange people here, my away message reflect what I am actualy doing and that is the single most used away message when I leave my IM programs running.
"If the facts are on your side, pound on the facts. If the law is on your side, pound on the law. If neither is on your side, pound on the table."

Mine is currently "Sleeping or otherwise ignoring you."

DPDarkPrimus just inspired another one, though:

Of all the away messages I've seen, my favorite is probably "Give that monkey a robotic arm!" or somesuch.
