It has become so common, the trick doesn't work anymore. I like to confuse them now with a new strategy: remaining silent when they're expecting a message.

If a player put in their profile that they "love to chat during the game" and "feel free to chat" or something like that, I feel guilty if I "only" make moves, so I sometimes force myself to write something (but not just referring to the weather).
If you really think that chat was evil-minded, you might try Monty Python´s style with answers as such:
1 - Yep, me too thinks this record is scratched.
2 - Yep, that giant styrofoam-made penguin just passed by in my street.

I saw this work in an OTB game in a tournament, in the middle of a complex position opponent said "good game I'll probably resign in a few moves" and the other guy sweated bullets and took more time than usual looking for a winning line that wasn't there, got him all rattled.
