Cyrano’s Non-Alliterative Inaugurational Random Banter #126 To Usher In The Future

[Cyrano]

An era has ended, a new era is begun! *Ride of the Valkyries*


I grant unto thee
The Randomest
Banter!

Have fun, but only fun as sponsored by the mods and members of our lovely forum, as described herein. Rulebreakers will be shot, survivors will be ushered in for tea and then eaten.

Rules

1. Spam. For the purposes of RB, one word posts are generally considered spam. Likewise, posts that are nothing but *actions like this* are also be considered spam. Remember that the quality of the post's content is much better than the speed of your response.

2. This isn't the Play by Post or Town forum, nor is it the Silly Message Board Games or Structured Games forum. Please avoid continuous roleplay or mock battles and fights such as the "competition for control of the universe".

3. If it's already a thread, don't bring it to RB. RB has such a huge range of subject matter even restricted to the little snippets that probably don't warrant their own thread, it doesn't need legitimate thread topics cluttering it up as well. The exception to this is to bring something that is off-topic from one thread, but on-topic for RB and the subject doesn't warrant a thread of its own.

4. Don't advertise other threads in RB. Just because these new threads move at speeds more appropriate to a message board than an IM session doesn't mean you need to come over to RB and brow beat people into posting in your latest brainchild.

5. Please don't post single line posts alerting us to your current status -- as in "I'm back." This is Random Banter, not "How to stalk Random GitP forum members."

6. Don't poke, kick or bump the thread. It will move at whatever pace it wants to. Also, please refrain from Captain Obvious comments akin to "My, the thread is fast today."

7. Random Banter can only be as good, or as entertaining, as you make it. Demands to be entertained will fall on deaf ears unless you can add something more meaningful to the conversation.

8. As this is a public forum, where the current topic is nicely recorded for you, and not a conversation where you could have missed the beginning, please refrain from asking something to the effect of "What's the topic?". Please take the time to read up a bit first.

9. Thread Creator must include the words "Random" and "Banter" as well as the thread #. Try to be concise as well.

10. Every post should contain two visible, legible complete sentences, Subject and Predicate. C'mon, make your old English teachers proud.

11. Remember, Random Banter is not your IM client. If you want to have a back and forth discussion with just one person, look in their contact information for IM details.

12. Whenever a new thread is created, all "first post", "first page", and all posts of that nature will be deleted by the administrators. Please avoid doing this, as it is frustrating for them to deal with one-lined posts like this.

13. Double-posting is not your friend. We have edit buttons for a reason.


And here, linked for your convenience, are the previous incarnations of this thread.

Why is Cyrano taking this long? Why did Cyrano change that username, anyway? Does he have something to hide? Tune in next time, which is actually this time, for answers!

Purple.


I'm not just animeing. I'm talking about something rather odd (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BFwErXsXow).

Click it. Or I'll never love you.

I really really want you to love me, but then again, it's unavailable in my country due to copyright. Looks like our continents will never let this romance come to pass, my dearest fraulein.

[Thufir]

So, yeah. Back to what I asked before. Should I re-dye my hair black?

I do not care about your hair color, but if black suits you, then you should do it.

[Coidzor]

I like this quote:
The Demon God Yoth-Ziggurat might want to chop your soul up into little pieces, but at least he doesn't tell you that you haven't got one.

And at least you've got half a chance of finding a magic sword.

Edit: In other news, I have my license. huzzah.

He should indeed.... or should he? Should anyone care about anything in this world? The answer.... well of course the bloody answer is yes! If nobody cared about anything the world would be a bloody depressing place to live in!

[TRM]

You should care, Assassin. You should.
Do you go to college in Steven's Point? What's it like? I have a friend considering there.


Edit: In other news, I have my license. huzzah.
Huzzah is right. Drive to the grocery store and get a chocolate bar.

[Neko Toast]

Do you go to college in Steven's Point? What's it like? I have a friend considering there.

I honestly like it there. The campus isn't too big, and none of the buildings are scattered at all (ie. Dorms on one side, classes on the other). There's a nature reserve right off of campus.

We have a lot of good programs up here, too, especially in Natural Resources.

[Dragonrider]

I just took a walk around my campus and am reminded why I liked it so much. :smallbiggrin:

[Fredthefighter]

I just took a walk around my campus and am reminded why I liked it so much. :smallbiggrin:

Cool. I got my results earlier. I now have 12 GCSEs all at C Grade and above. :smallbiggrin:


Anyway, goodnight all, see you tomorrow.

[Coidzor]

In other, other news. It is a sad state of affairs when a college campus is not good walking.

Also, I've begun playing Pokemon Red again.

Also, I'm about 2/3 of the way through the Johnny Maxwell Trilogy.

Mmm... Nature reserves.

Well, with your glowing review in mind, I will allow her to continue considering Steven's Point.


In other, other news. It is a sad state of affairs when a college campus is not good walking.

Well, a college located within a major city might be unpleasant to walk, but could still be a valid institution of higher learning. It might even be nicer because you have all of the advantages of a city, such as clubs and bars.

Just saying. I would still pick a small college with a walkable campus.

[Coidzor]

Sexy. Reminds me of Kenyon in Ohio. They've got like some kind of state park or forest nearby and are practically nestled in the middle of the woods anyway...

[Alteran]

Hello, Playgrounders! I come to you from Huntsville Public Library. Rest assured, I am having fun without the internet. It's a strange concept, I know, but it just takes some getting used to. I shall be returning to the sin and vice of the big city (and the dubious moral influences of the Playground) this Saturday, the 29th. See you then!

[rubakhin]

Hi, new thread. *marks the thread by carving "Draco passed through here" into the wall*

So, yeah. Back to what I asked before. Should I re-dye my hair black?

What shade of black are you thinking about? Like emo black? A really dark brown color is usually more flattering, you don't want to go around looking like you painted your head with roofing tar.

Or you could go with something more unique like a dark purple or cranberry type color, but that sometimes doesn't come out as well depending on the quality of the dye and so on.

[Player_Zero]

Naaaw .

You see, I say things for my own amusement, my little marionette. Your only purpose is to dance for me.

But you don't see, so it doesn't matter at all.

If by "emo black", you mean "so black it looks blue", then of course not. I go for a more natural-looking black.

That's the first nice thing you've ever said to me. I might cry.

You might. But not because of that.

Oh? Enlighten me then, Hapsburg.

That joke was always so passé. Something to fill five minutes back when you were twelve.

In other news, I lost the game.

Biznatch.
I know google could tell me, but in an effort to make conversation I will ask here instead. How old is that trope? I know it's old and tired, but is it actually old or does it just seem old?

Plus, I'm sorry that you lost.


That joke was always so passé. Something to fill five minutes back when you were twelve.
And that, but I'm too nice to say it.

I'm fairly sure it's at least 40 years old.

I don't do things because they're cool. I do things because they might have seemed like a good idea at the time, or more likely, because I'm not paying any attention to what I am typing at this moment.

It also occurred to me that posting that game-loss is probably going to have more repercussions than I'd like on my quest for recognition and respect on these fine forums... I suppose some endeavors are doomed to failure no matter how much time, effort, or passion you put into them.

[Dogmantra]

Fun Fact: I want to join a forum, infiltrate its ranks, gain respect as a member there, just so after a year or so, I can leave. All to give me the excuse to use a quotation from the end of my favourite series.

Another Fun Fact: I just spent 10 minutes typing a text to someone. When it wouldn't capitalise "I" in the middle of the sentence, I reworked the entire sentence to not use the word "I".

I sometimes wonder if this sort of thing is normal...

I've never been able to figure out how to get my phone to type a "1" so instead I use a lower-case L.

[Dogmantra]

On my phone, it's obtained by pressing 1 several times, after the full stop, comma, quotation marks, exclamation mark and question mark.

THERE IS AN INSERT SYMBOL MENU FOR A REASON, PHONE MANUFACTURERS!

[TRM]

I've never been able to figure out how to get my phone to type a "1" so instead I use a lower-case L.
Either hit the "1" four times, or—depending on the texting mode—hold down the "1" until it becomes a numeral.

Unless you have some strange artifact that is only loosely defined as a phone, in that case you're on your own.

On the illness front, the third finger on my right hand seems to be eating itself. It's gone a but red and rather blotchy and itches like a be-hatch...I hope it's not that flesh eating alien virus that's been going around. :smalleek:

But if it tasted nice it doesn't matter.

Also, chinese doesn't make you sick. It makes you big and strong.

Mmm... Tasty chinese takeway... Or cantonese at any rate. I love me some chicken chow mein.

[V'icternus]

Chinese? Blech.

Don't take that personally, I say that to most meats, vegetables, and most things derived from meats or vegetables. And don't even think about trying to get me to each a mineral... (Salt, I'm lookin' at you!)

No you don't. You eat toast and chicken like the rest of us.

I don't, and probably several other people. If there are no other better places that provide pizza, Pizza Hut is one of those places for thin crust or thick crust pizza that are distributed around the United States.

Harry Potter was good (in my opinion), but I wouldn't read it again, otherwise it would lose its.... magic. I went through all of them and now I am done with Mr.Potter.

It's just tainted with wrongness and ideology that deserves to be staked through the heart fifty times.

And as for the movie:
My sister told me that some guy gets his head ripped off, so I decided I would watch the one bit that might just make me smile, casual and most likely gory violence. It is true that someone's head is ripped off.... or so it appears to be, as we never actually see the head come off, we just see a female vampire leap onto the EVIL (questionable because he's just a vampire who likes to play with his food according to my sister, doesn't seem that different to a normal vampire... or the average huntsman) vampire and try to break his neck, then we see hair fly into a fire, and then we see two other vampires dance around the fire like it's Winter Festival.

I went back upstairs after that. :smallannoyed:

Well, yes. It's still interesting though. I have been turned against this book I haven't read by the opinions of other people who haven't read it, who I have never met in real life. I couldn't base my opinion on something much further away from the source material.

To me, it's that "But you haven't read it!" is a cheap shot designed to keep the fans from having to actually answer criticism. If the person hasn't read it, and therefore is missing something important, then it shouldn't be a problem to prove them wrong quickly and easily. Instead, though, all you get is "You haven't read it, you can't complain until you've read it!" Which allows the fans to just put their fingers in their ears and ignore any negative criticism.

1) Do not mock Bill Gates, he has enough money to buy everything you care about and then the power to crush it before your very eyes.

Everytime someone talks like Yoda, I imaging Kermit the Frog storming on stage, beating the tar out of that thing, and saying "THIS IS WHAT IT MEANS TO BE GREEN, BITCH!"

1) I can provide the will. :smalltongue:
2) I don't have any pictures of cats. Also, I'm lazy enough to not be bothered to make my own.
3) I wasn't intentionally talking like Yoda. But Yoda would totally turn Kermit into his own personal punching bag, then cut him open, and use his body as a sleeping bag for when Yoda goes camping. All the time he does this, he repeats one sentence "Where's my money!".

[Thufir]

Kermit is manned by the creator himself, Jim Henson, and thus cannot be stopped by a mere novice puppet.

Besides, once you turn the computer off, Yoda disappears. :smalltongue:

Admit it, you laughed.:smalltongue:

[Phase]

Fred uses the tongue smily too much. I can't imagine any of his jokes going anywhere.

For example, I would have listened to his argument about Yoda winning against Kermit, but then the smily showed up.

Kermit would win anyway, though.

Kermit is manned by the creator himself, Jim Henson, and thus cannot be stopped by a mere novice puppet.

You sir deserved to be whipped by a team of Jawas, all of whom have been denied female company for the last twenty years.

I will admit that while Kermit is awesome, Yoda's knowledge and fighting skills (not to mention his ability to throw Kermit about like a ragdoll using the Force) would win the day and you know it.

And a computer will always be on for Yoda to live.

[Cristo Meyers]

You sir deserved to be whipped by a team of Jawas, all of whom have been denied female company for the last twenty years.

"It's true. You don't mess with the frog."

SESAME STREET HAD NO FREAKIN' PLOT!

You will feel pain and humiliation like no other.

On another note: I'm reading xkcd right now. It's quite good. And Thufir made me laugh. It's not Kermit you should be worried about, it's Miss Piggy. :smallbiggrin:

And to finish the argument/debate:
Rocks fall, but instead of death, Cristo is put in the hospital with almost all of his bones broken.

[Coidzor]

Or the thought of two muppets doing it. :smallyuk:

*nods sagely*

SESAME STREET HAD NO FREAKIN' PLOT!


Exactly. No plot is better than a hackneyed one.

*from the balcony*Oh ho ho ho ho!


You will feel pain and humiliation like no other.

I'm already married.

[Rutskarn]

So, what's the topic today...

Muppet sex. That's, that's great. Thanks for that, guys.

I'm-a gonna come back later.

[Coidzor]

Which means you're only halfway there. Just wait until you're divorced in your mid thirties-to-forties and unable to get a date on a saturday night and living in a hovel off of bachelor chow.

[Thufir]

SESAME STREET HAD NO FREAKIN' PLOT!

Sesame Street? Epic fail. We're talking about the Muppets. Not the same thing.

But yeah, Miss Piggy's always been the scary one.
However, you have no authority to determine the falling of rocks. As such, Cristo's injuries are revoked.

[Cristo Meyers]

Which means you're only halfway there. Just wait until you're divorced in your mid thirties-to-forties and unable to get a date on a saturday night and living in a hovel off of bachelor chow.

So, it'd be like my college days?

[V'icternus]

Hmm, there seems to be some mistake... it's as if you don't know that Kermit and Yoda are, in fact, the same person. Give or take six hundred years, and a space-time travel device.

Exactly. No plot is better than a hackneyed one.

Statler and Waldorf! Get him!

Get him.

*Sicks Animal on Cristo*

:smallbiggrin:

And marriage can't be that bad... can it?

[Phase]

I must say, if I were bound to watch either the Muppets for all time, or Star Wars, I know which one I'd choose...

[V'icternus]

I couldn't pick... I think I'd pick the muppets, though, if only because there's more hours of footage...

[Fredthefighter]

I must say, if I were bound to watch either the Muppets for all time, or Star Wars, I know which one I'd choose...

Muppets is better for entertainment, but in a fight.... apart from Miss Piggy and Animal, the entire cast of muppets would be on the wrong end of a lightsaber or choked to death.

Seriously. Miss Piggy and Animal are the only Muppets with actual combat potential.

[Cyrano]

So, what's the topic today...

Muppet sex. That's, that's great. Thanks for that, guys.

I'm-a gonna come back later.

You act almost surprised.

Boo! Boo this man!

"Don't you mean feel?"

"Quiet, Frog, I mean what I say."

That was a little creepy. Just a little, but the more I read it, the creepier it gets. :smalleek:

And it was a bad pun.

[V'icternus]

Especially when you realise that Muppet sex is pretty much just rubbing two pillows together... :smalltongue:

But you're only looking at it from a Star Wars point of view. In Star Wars, the force is this amazingly powerful mystical thing, and those who can use it well are nigh-unbeatable.
Whereas in the Muppets, what's funny goes. And muppets beating up jedi would be hilarious.

Actually, earlier today I saw a facebook quiz which claimed to determine your favourite colour in 7 questions, and I immediately thought of the Bridge of Death.

Heh, now I'm imagining the guy in my Avatar (Liantrius) trying to cross...


Bridgekeeper: What... is your name.

Liantrius: Liantrius.

Bridgekeeper: What... is your quest.

Liantrius: To find the Holy Grail!

Bridgekeeper: What... is your favourite colour.

[Coidzor]

It's not the marriage that gets you so much as the wasted effort and getting a perennial fungal infection in your lungs from fixing up the house that you lose in the divorce.

Or so I've heard.

[Phase]

That certainly is a vivid description of marriage, little moth.

[Coidzor]

It's actually a synopsis of one of those fix up a home and then sell it shows where the guy was an idiot and got some nasty variant fungus spores stuck in his lungs due to not even wearing a basic mask and they divorced and the ex-wife got the house as it was ready to be sold or used for non-biohazard purposes.

[billtodamax]

That guy is a failure. I wish to meet him, so that I can tell him as such.

[V'icternus]

...Remind me never to get married.

[Coidzor]

Then there's the question of whether you'll even get a chance with all of the geopolitical gender politicking going on.

Also, yeah, he was rather loserish. He even looked like a loser. Reminded me of that one guy from that John and kate show.

[billtodamax]

That show is so depressing. It's quite clear that they hate their children, and each other. I- I'm not sure what could have convinced them to marry.

[Coidzor]

I thought it was more the fact they were idiots and decided to have too many children that caused them to become bitter, twisted people.

But, hey, that they were idiots also explains an initially inadvisable marriage.

[Alarra]

This is awesome.

Well, yeah, maybe. It looks like they hate their first children as well, though.

@^: Tee hee. That's so cool.

My mom still mixes my brothers up. The harpy.

Gah that woman's voice strikes at a primordial chord of fear and hatred...

[V'icternus]

Whose?

(And if the answer is "Julie Andrews", I will be forced to bring wrath upon you.)

[Phase]

How did that group get all those children to behave so well and know the dances? You can no more domesticate a child than a boa constrictor...

[Coidzor]

Well, that's why it's horrifying. They had to use sorcery to ensorcel children to do it.

[V'icternus]

Nah, they just used decent kids.

I'm so tempted to go running around in the rain right now. Even though it's a thunderstorm. Rain = fun! :smallbiggrin:

Well, yes. It mostly just depends on 1. how likely flash floods are to kill you in the area by trapping you against a drain or something and 2. how lightning happy it is.

But yeah, they're great fun as long as they're not too crazy.

[V'icternus]

Do it! Do it now! Be free!

...And can I have your liver? My old one's fine, but you never know when I'll need a spare.

[Coidzor]

Eh, I'd rather have the extra kidneys myself. :smallwink:

Speaking of which... how's your heart doin'? You know, just out of curiosity.

[Moff Chumley]

Dibs. Also, dibs on the left eye, spleen, and lower intenstine.

Wait, who's intestines are we calling dibs on? Because if they've been tarnished by filthy, filthy Wisconsin cheese, I don't want em. >=P

[Coidzor]

Well, I've got a scottish heart and knee joints, so you don't want 'em.

She's got a wisconsin heart, colon, and liver. I figure she's young enough that her kidneys haven't experienced the full impact of Wisconsinian good times.

I have some good dramatic music, but it's really only useful if we have one hundred Agent Smiths to go with it.

The thing is though, Rock Paper Cynic doesn't depress me, it makes me laugh. Does that make me a bad person?

No, it makes me laugh too. I was saying that I was obviously too happy after finding it in the eyes of this cosmic entity, so it did something to reverse it.

You know what I've just realised?

By the time our kitchen and bathroom are completey finally done - paint utterly dry and everything - it'll be less than a week until I leave.
Somehow I find that strangely demoralising . . . It means that I might as well have my first bath/shower in a bath at uni.

Stupid rules. What to bring, what not to bring, rules on how and when you can use what you were able to bring.

And that idiot neighbour down the road is playing vexingly loud rap music. Argh. Even worse, it's Vanilla Ice. The only reason I even know that much is because I can recognise the bass beat from Under Pressure they stole from Queen.

[Dragonrider]

Although I've been complaining about how much my schoolbooks cost, this morning I woke up and realized...can you imagine if I'd gone to Mum and Dad and said, "Hey, I'm going to spend $518 on a bunch of random books so that I can read them. Just wanted to let you know"? They would not have been pleased. I now have copies of everything from the Odyssey to the Qur'an to the Bhagavad-Gita (which is what I'm reading right now). I have selected writings of Karl Marx and Three Tragedies by Euripides.

Yeeeeeeah.

So, in a couple hours I'm gonna go in town and do something which may end up being a job interview. Uh... Advice?

Hmm. Neat appearance. Take a comb or something with you for last minute maintenance in the bathroom as necessary.

Clothes, not overdressed but not something that'll get 'em thinking weirdly of ya.


Although I've been complaining about how much my schoolbooks cost, this morning I woke up and realized...can you imagine if I'd gone to Mum and Dad and said, "Hey, I'm going to spend $518 on a bunch of random books so that I can read them. Just wanted to let you know"? They would not have been pleased. I now have copies of everything from the Odyssey to the Qur'an to the Bhagavad-Gita (which is what I'm reading right now). I have selected writings of Karl Marx and Three Tragedies by Euripides.

Yeeeeeeah.

Well sure. But they're not BOOKS. You're missing the point, my dear Coidzor. :smalltongue:

[Coidzor]

That you could've skived on some of them and gotten books you actually would want? :smalltongue:

Say, what's your university's printing policy?

I'm delighted to have them. :smallbiggrin:

Um. I'm not sure.

[Coidzor]

Um. I'm not sure.
Find out then. ASAP.

And considering that twothree of them are mutually exclusive ancient scriptures... :smallyuk: Unless you're one of those weird people who actually enjoys the writing style.:smallconfused:

Modern writing styles are pretty weird in my book. Some guys just don't know how to write, but, get enough of them flooding the market and it becomes completely normal in the public eye.

I happen to find literature to be as much of a Lost Art as theater.

[Coidzor]

Bah. They may suck, but at least they don't suck the youth and happiness and vigor out of your bones with their dusty, dusty dryness.

At least the ones worth reading anymore. No telling what effect Smears has.

Personally, I find Machiavelli and Sun Tzu's styles very entertaining. I wish there was modern stuff along the same lines.
