Recaiden's Resplendent and Rotating Realistic Random Banter #136

[Recaiden]

Random Banter

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.

14. Once you have made a Random Banter thread, you must wait 50 threads before making another one.

New Year's Fireworks:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b2/OperaSydney-Fuegos2006-342289398.jpg/800px-OperaSydney-Fuegos2006-342289398.jpg

Have fun.

[Ikialev]

Well damn, NOW it's a written rule. :smallannoyed: Thanks for carrying the Bus over to new RB not anymore.

[Dogmantra]

New and improved, what a delicious new RB this is turning out to be.

[Quincunx]

[EDIT: Migrating the discussion since a new RB was created as I wrote.]

Watching a film from the '60s or so about the aftereffects of the nuclear war, with its subtle rebuke of those authority figures it places on screen to speak about "a just war" and "moral authority" and "learning to live with the nuclear bomb, but not to love it" amid the mortality projections, the facts and figures of burn radii. They haven't spoken to a single individual whose answer hasn't been small, or petty, or bloodthirsty, or dehumanized. It's a fine piece of propaganda but it demands the intelligence of the viewer to make the connections--it wouldn't have been widely viewed today, or seen as effective.


But the piece was made for its time, was it not? It has no need to remain relevant over time, as long as it was watched then.

My ear is attuned to its age, shall we say. When they say "weapons of nuclear power", I have been filling in "weapons of mass destruction". . .and the film remains relevant in its message. Styles of film-making change, though. The modern equivalent would probably be United 93, the informative/speculative mockumentary, without the soothing voice-over of authority yet with authentic scraps of multi-media evidence.

[Dragonrider]

Yeah. My last (and only) RB was #92, so I have to wait till #142. :smalltongue:


Also, good morning, 2010!

[Uncle Festy]

I banter in your general direction! :smallamused:

[Neko Toast]

This is the first year in a while where I went to bed before midnight on New Year's Eve. Stupid pounding headache. :smallannoyed: And I was having fun at the party I was at.

How was everyone else's New Years?

[Phase]

No, no! You banter in a random direction. You silly english person.

[Dragonrider]

I went to bed at 12:10 and fell asleep by 12:20 (didn't sleep through the night because I never do, but it was still a victory).

And we've got slush on the ground and it is going to rain. Or that's what the waether report says - the sky looks bright bright blue to me!

And I had a yummy breakfast. One egg omelette with no cheese but a touch of imitation crab meat.

The end.

[Player_Zero]

This is the first year in a while where I went to bed before midnight on New Year's Eve. Stupid pounding headache. :smallannoyed: And I was having fun at the party I was at.

How was everyone else's New Years?

Interneted for a few hours then I went to bed before midnight too.

Rather predictable really.

[EmeraldRose]

Happy Random New Year's Banter!

The cartoons are on TV and the coffee is flowing :smallsmile:

[Mauve Shirt]

Ate much too much, black-eyed peas and other lucky foods. Stayed up til midnight playing Rock Band and Foosball, toasted the new year with sparkling limeade. Went to bed around 2:00.

[Rutskarn]

I used the internet, watched the Twilight Zone marathon and went to bed.

The whole spectacle loses its mystique once you're staying up till 1:45 anyway. Also, once you get a good grasp on how time zones work, and can easily get in contact with someone for whom it's been a new decade for hours.

[Dragonrider]

Mauvey, my browser was still loading the page when I hit the "post reply" button and instead of clicking on it I hit "report" at the bottom of your post. :smallamused: Good thing there's no automatic reporting system, huh?

I ate not much too much last night, to my surprise, but this morning made up for it with some apple twist bread just now which isn't very good (my mum bought it for some charity or cause thing or another, probably with my grandmother's church, because all the money we spend on bizarre baked goods seems to be for Grandma's church) but which smelled wonderful so I had to have a piece though I wasn't hungry after my egg. Ah, well.

[Dogmantra]

The whole spectacle loses its mystique once you're staying up till 1:45 anyway. Also, once you get a good grasp on how time zones work, and can easily get in contact with someone for whom it's been a new decade for hours.

I send you messages from the future. About five hours in the future. Woooooo.

That was the noise a ghost makes at the end, but if you read it as the sort of party whoo that you make when you're partying on down then that's okay too.


Yeah. My last (and only) RB was #92, so I have to wait till #142. :smalltongue:

Heh... so it's actually only possible to have had two RB threads. Doesn't seem that much when you think of it like that.
It does seem like much when, taking the average post to be 50 words, and the average thread to be 1 500 posts, that means there have been 10 125 000 words of Random Banter.

[Trobby]

I was up until at least 2 AM, sharing the first couple of hours of New Years with my AIM friends.

...Or maybe it was 3 AM...@_@; Either way, I'm very tired right now. And my allergies have been bugging me nonstop. ><;

I was up till three, browsing the nets. Before then I was at a friend's party and had some fuuuuunnnnn taaaaaaaaiiiiiimess

[Zain]

I was awoken by fireworks at midnight...:smallannoyed:

At least i did not miss the new year thingy

[Player_Zero]

...The Sun is trying to kill me

[Phaedra]

...The Sun is trying to kill me

The actual sun or the newspaper?

Oh, and I did very little for New Years except get called for brief drunken chats by The Boy who mostly just made me talk to the people he was with. Most of whom I've spoken to for all of 5mins previously. I turned my phone off and went to bed at midnight. I'm a crazy party person.

[SDF]

First post of the new year!

Had fun new years party with old friends and new. Got my new years kiss. Woke up with Chinese writing on my arm that my friend claims says I'm an, "intellectual." Little bit of a headache, a little dehydrated. But overall doing just ducky. Went over to my 'rents house today and came in to see my dad playing Dragon Age. XD

[Perenelle]

gasp! new thread! :smallbiggrin:

anyways, my new year was rather interesting. I was at my aunts with a whole bunch of other people, including the head of a Tang Soo Do school and his family. me and the other two sane 14 year olds stayed upstairs trying to stay away from the crazy little kids that were attacking each other and running around like maniacs. :smallsigh:

We had an epic pillow fight though. :smallamused:

[CurlyKitGirl]

I do believe this is the fiftieth RB I've ever posted in. Happy Anniversary me!

The New Year was less interesting than most nights. I only really stayed up 'til half one; and that was just because I was reading a story.
Frankly, when one's stayed up past one or two o'clock for a significantly large number of nights staying up past midnight, even for a New Year and a New Decade is . . . uninteresting.

I'm also watching the repeat of part two of that Doctor Who special. Meh. There are cactus people. And the Time Lords look like Cardinals. Except some of them who have freakily large collar thingies.

Oh, did I mention cactus people? And how can an old WWII veteran intuitivey make leaps of logic that takes the Doctor quite a while?
Why are the cactus people neon-green?

Also also: do you have any idea how surprisingly hard and annoying a little brother is to ignore? Supposedly, he's watching this for the first time, but during every single action sequence so far he's talked his way through.
Despite my cynicism and general inclination to mockery today, this isn't that bad. And he insists on talking through every action sequence. Oh, and why is a Super-Advanced Ship Thingy possessed of lasers whose design and calibration seem to be very similar to that of WWII Hurricanes?
Planes are being shot down by lasers over the Bay of Biscay (I think) and he's talking about books. Normally, I wouldn't mind, but he's the one who decided to watch Doctor Who before his comics. :smallconfused: Buh.

[Coidzor]

...The Sun is trying to kill me

Well, Pelor just likes giving people sunburn, is all. And skeletons don't sunburn. So, yeah.

[Cobra_Ikari]

My New Year has had drinking games, Pokemon Cards, GI Joe, and Smash Brothers. Is a good year so far. =3

[Dogmantra]

I'm also watching the repeat of part two of that Doctor Who special.

It was the first time around, if I'm not mistaken. Also, the new doctor is still not ginger which is very much a disappointment.

[Trobby]

Bah...still not much of an improvement this year. ;-; The girl I love is sick,, and all I have done so far is getting a computer out of the corner of this crowded room.

Ah well...at least I have coffee.

[CurlyKitGirl]

It was the first time around, if I'm not mistaken. Also, the new doctor is still not ginger which is very much a disappointment.

You sure? Because I could've sworn I'd heard all about how it ended off'f someone here. Because I was 'predicting' everything left right and centre up the the incredibly drawn out death.

ION: On the plus side, at least I can watch the good The Italian ob all the way through. For once.

[Dogmantra]

I'm starting to doubt myself here...

No, I'm sure it was the first time. They would have played it on BBC 3 if it had've been a repeat.

[DraPrime]

So, New Years was nice I went to a fun party, and stayed up until 5 AM. Kinda wish I hadn't though. I just had to work for 6 hours while being sleep deprived and hung over.

Ow. :smallannoyed:

[Nameless]

Yeah, well we had Ginger bread men. I pretended they were real people and bit off all their limbs. It was epic.
So there! :smallcool:

Ow. :smallannoyed:

My one was something like that. Only not really. There was only five of us because no one showed up for some reason. After being getting bored of watching telly, we went out at about 10, bought alcohol, got drunk, counted down to midnight, then headbanged to Lordi for an hour. We then did a lot of walking through streets and forests and stood in a lift for a while because my friend decided to put random parts of costumes from Anime expos together. It was funny because some girls ran away from us. Then we walked out again a couple of miles and stood next to a lake in a forset with cups of tea. I remember arguing with someone pver whether or not Keyboards should be used in Metal.
It was epic.
However, much like yourself, I woke up the next afternoon at his house with a headache and sleep deprived. Only difference is, we continued the celebration regardless until about 6pm.

I really don't feel very good.

[Zocelot]

I was too lazy to arrange anything for New Years, so I just spent it on the interwebz. MY family did arrange a chocolate fondue that was delicious, and so I left the computer for that.

[Trobby]

It doesn't help that there are so many two-part episodes, and there's a marathon going on right now.

Though I probably AM going to watch the finale.

After all, the time lords are returning, and the Doctor's song is nearing an end.

[Dogmantra]

I missed it. D:
Don't tell me what happened! LALALALALALALA!

Dr. Who travels through time and saves the earth, and as if you didn't know even though it was announced like 6 months ago, he regenerates and thus ends the saga of good Dr. Who.
Ha!
I spoiled everything for you!

[Coplantor]

OK, so, I'm sort of back, let you know something, I had a good time this last few days, sollege finally ended the 29th so now I'm on vacations till february, I think I went well on my exams, also, christmas and new year went well. I also wanted to say sorry, because during the last two monthcollege got a bit rough and I neglected the playground and my dA account, so heym, sorr! But it's good to be around here with you guys again.

[Trobby]

Awesome! I saw them...*looks down at Metallica shirt being worn*...January 18 of last year. Almost a whole year ago. It was a very good show. For many Metallica shows, there's a shirt specifically devoted to that one concert. For example, mine has the seal of Boston on it and the words "Boston, January 18, 2009." You might have to show up early, as these shirts sell fast, and damnit they're worth getting.

Chocolate fondue is yummy. especially with strawberries. :smallbiggrin:

soo....not looking forward to school starting back up on monday, and I have procrastinated yet again and left all my work for the weekend. yay. :smallannoyed: and exams are coming up. All-District Band auditions are next Saturday, and overall, the next three months are going to suck. :smallyuk: I'm looking forward to summer already.

[Coplantor]

OK, so I need money for a T shirt now... man, I really need to get a job

[DraPrime]

Get a part time job at a local store or something. It's what I do. It doesn't interfere too much with being a student, and earns me some extra money for t shirts, concerts, and all my other fun music related stuff.

[Coidzor]

There's a Smash Bros. Drinking Game?! :smalleek:

I find having some sort of romance in your own life can help make the addiction less cripplingly extreme from the get go though.

[Dogmantra]

There's a Smash Bros. Drinking Game?! :smalleek:

There is a Guitar Hero Drinking Game (put it on practice mode, medium difficulty. Take a sip every time a blue note comes up.) Of course there's a Smash Bros. Drinking Game.

[Anuan]

Take a drink every time Pikachu is annoying.

Pass out fifteen minutes later.

[Dragonrider]

You people and your alcohol... v.v :smalltongue:

[Dogmantra]

Take a drink every time you go online and someone tries to Kirby Suicide you.
Down it all if you are also playing Kirby.

Let me tell you, I would be very, very drunk if I'd played that game in a particular match...

[Moff Chumley]

I'm bored. Entertain me.

[Anuan]

You people and your alcohol... v.v :smalltongue:

Not me :smallwink: IIII don't drink :smallamused: I can just make jokes about drinking.

[Alleine]

I had an awesome New Year's. Hung out with some awesome fun people and had delicious food. Stayed up till about 5 am and played pigs in blankets. Apparently I am a master of disguising myself under sleeping bags and blankets. I was mistaken for two of the smallest girls at the party, and two people put together as well! It was awesome.

What was less awesome was the fact that the new years thing we watched showed about 10 minutes worth of "yay, its new years! Quick everyone make out!" and then there were three couples at the party all looking far too adorable and not alone unlike me :smallfrown:

Aside from that though, it was the bestest thing ever!

[Dogmantra]

I just noticed something really weird. I tend to use so much more BBcode when I'm tired...

[Dragonrider]

Not me :smallwink: IIII don't drink :smallamused: I can just make jokes about drinking.

Meeeeee either.

[Lioness]

So am I. The person who was going to come over today bailed, so I have no-one to talk to.

I did invite someone else though.

[Coidzor]

I do indeed. One of my professors talks about it all the time. "Beer. Beer is what built our empires."

Well, yay for beer. But beer then did not equal bear now. Beer was more like a thick, fermented, bread stew.

You could always try to learn how to fly. I hear nothing cures boredom like a trip to the emergency room.

[Dragonrider]

I have no problem with others drinking so long as they're not endangering themselves, but I have no problem making fun of them for it, either. :smallbiggrin:

[Alteran]

If you get her riled enough, then you might get DeeRee grapples though! :smallbiggrin:

Be careful, though. If you get her too riled up, you'll be given a demonstration of her true power when she transmutes you into a puppy-sized elephant. That red flower, so innocuously held, is in fact the focus for her not-inconsiderable arcane might.

[Dogmantra]

My father's advice for this.
"If you're hungry, eat a radish. If you're bored, do some algebra."

I think this is the single best piece of advice anyone could ever give. I am seriously considering changing my MSN status to this, as opposed to the lyrics from Dr. Worm that have been there forever.

He may have done terrible damage to his liver.

Ssh! Don't give away my secret! :smalltongue:

If I were to turn him into a puppy-size elephant I would then mail him to John Green and be his personal hero for the rest of my life.

[Shades of Gray]

No. To be his hero you have to put the Puppy-Sized Elephant on your head while drinking an entire bottle of Strawberry Hill and discussing the political system in Namibia.

[CrimsonAngel]

She is 13. :smallannoyed:

[Player_Zero]

I'd rather not do any algebra anyway. Doing work is always such a hassle.

Besides, I don't have any assignments besides that one for non-linear differential equations.

[Perenelle]

*Shoots the evil algebra dead*

There.

*comes out of hiding*
thankses you Vicky. *hugses*

I'd much rather do geometry than algebra. but thats not saying a lot, I still dont like math very much. :smallsigh:

[V'icternus]

*Huggles*

Math is bad. The only decent math is 1+1 and variations of 1+1. :smalltongue:

[Coidzor]

My father's advice for this.
"If you're hungry, eat a radish. If you're bored, do some algebra."

...So his advice is to eat something so disgusting that makes one wish that one hadn't been hungry in the first place? That seems a rather hostile thing to say to one's children.

[Dragonrider]

...So his advice is to eat something so disgusting that makes one wish that one hadn't been hungry in the first place? That seems a rather hostile thing to say to one's children.

It's called humor. :smallbiggrin:

So, it's weird for me to like radishes? Why haven't I known this before?

[Pyrian]

but I think Pyrian is correct.Wait, what? When did I get involved? :smalleek: ...At least I was right, apparently. :smallcool:

NSAIDS - your basic OTC painkillers - are notoriously hard on the stomach, as well as the liver. Still, you don't want to overdose on those things. If she took a particularly large dose, I agree she should be taken to a doctor.

[Recaiden]

Wait, what? When did I get involved? :smalleek: ...At least I was right, apparently. :smallcool:


That's the second time this has happened today! :smallfurious: I mean Anuan. I'm sorry.

^: it's the 'an' at the end, gets us all on occasion. Though I think the hat coming back will help dispel that from growing any further.
It's called humor. :smallbiggrin:

Seemed a bit non sequitur for humor.

Or like he was calling her fat.

[Trobby]

...Algebra is dead? NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

;-; I never got a chance..a chance to tell her...that she owes me X dollars, where X is equal to a squared, and a is equal to the number of hours of class time I spent learning Algebra.

[Dragonrider]

Seemed a bit non sequitur for humor.

Or like he was calling her fat.

It's a very subtle and strange sort of humor (or, rather, subtle in its unsubtlety) but it's the same sort my own father has been known to display now and again. :smallwink:

(Read: He affectionately calls me a loser. I respond that it's genetic. We go on with life. He asks why I suck so much that I'm getting a 3.5 instead of a 4.0. I reply that it's better than almost failing high school. Etc., etc.) :smallamused:

Unfortunately for people who interact with me, I'm rude pretty much no matter what. If we're friends I'll be rude because I think its funny and I know you'll be able to take it since I am probably joking. If I don't like you I'll be rude because, well, I don't like you, and because I think its funny.

[Recaiden]

The sky here's a purply-brown. I usually think it's beautiful, but it seems so normal. Since it's like this every clear night. :smalltongue:

[EndlessWrath]

well. it was purple. maybe it was just because of the storm. Oh well. Now its clear black and blue again.

-Wrath

[Alleine]

I don't remember the last time I saw a sky colored in a cool way, but I was happy this afternoon because the sun was in a position where it looked like it was surging past its bounds. Driving home in the afternoon was one of my strangest pleasures in life. :smallsmile:

[randman22222]

Ahhh today was excellent. I went sailing for the first time around three years (WAY too long). It had a jib (small, second sail placed in front of the main one), which not I, my father, or my little brother who doesn't actually know how to sail knew how to use. So we figured we'd figure it out once we were on the water.

The wind wasn't too great at first, and I was still wrapping my head around sailing, since it had been a while. After a while, though, it all rushed back into me, in the period of about thirty seconds. It was the best feeling ever. :smallbiggrin:

A minute or so later, my brother and dad realised what just happened, and made fun of me and the salt water returning to my veins, and cutlasses, and landlubbers, and that sort of thing. Then the wind kicked up, and it got FUN.

Apparently my jibes (turning the ship around with the wind from one side, then to your back, then to your other side - the more advanced way of repositioning your ship in relation to the wind) were way too fast for my brother and dad. They weren't fond of my turn-on-a-dime, almost-capsizing-along-the-way manoeuvres. :smalltongue:

Then it started raining, so it got even more fun. By the time we headed back in, it was dumping, and it was fun.

Ahhh, I am spectacularly happy right now. :smallsmile:

*Group hug.*

[Coidzor]

^: It's... a salty dog hug. Hmm. *adds more fresh lime and enjoys*

The evil girl-game is a different kind of mean than the mean I am. I'm SNARKY.


If we're friends I'll be rude because I think its funny and I know you'll be able to take it since I am probably joking.

Yeah. Rude can be funny and I have actually TOLD some of my friends that. I think it has something to do with growing up with three brothers - that's how we interact. It's great fun.

(You do have to know when to stop sometimes. Like, the one thing I can never take is people making fun of my physical appearance because I'm insecure about it. But you can call me dumb and ditzy, I can laugh it off because I don't think it's true. :smallamused:)

(And incidentally, their relationship is pretty much identical to that between my two oldest brothers - in a slightly more grown-up way since my brothers are 16 and 12.)

Well . . . I guess my puppy-sized elephants one was pretty old. I don't remember from when, exactly.

It is on my list of things I want along with a forklift truck and a pier.

I actually haven't seen most of the newer videos (but I have seen that one). I had seen a few of their videos over the last few months, but I only started a serious archive-trawl a few days ago. I'm up to June of 2007.



I doubt they actually *want* a puppy-sized elephant. What with the baby coming and all. :smalltongue:


Hank and Katherine don't have a baby on the way, I'm sure they'd be happy to have the puppy-sized elephant! Or me, I guess. I don't have enough puppy-sized animals.



You don't want to be Koorli?:smallconfused:

There can only be one! If she became Curly, then she'd have to enter into a duel with the original one. The winner would hold the title of Goddess of the Written Word and Koorlithulu, and the loser would be erased from the very fabric of the universe. Seeing as the original and current Curly has more practice being Curly and utilizing the powers of the Goddess of the Written Word, the Curly Formerly Known as Dragonrider would be at a distinct disadvantage in this fight.

Edit: The fight would be, of course, an English-ing contest of some sort.

[CurlyKitGirl]

Edit: Ye gods - I'm turning into Koorli! :smalleek: What a multiquote!

What's wrong with being me? And why're multiquotes bad? :smallconfused:


You don't want to be Koorli?:smallconfused:

:smallfrown: People don't like me? Meaniepants.


No five quotes and up is Curly territory, you're safe. For now!! AHAHAHem.

:smallfrown: It's just that I enjoy holding multiple conversations with people, and in my defence, a lot of my large multiquote sessions merely split up large posts. Meanie.


And seriously, who doesn't want a pygmy pet elephant? The answer is no one, it would be the best thing ever.

It is on my list of things I want along with a forklift truck and a pier.

I don't want a pymgy pet elephant. Nor a forklift truck. A pier would be rather spiffy though.


There can only be one! If she became Curly, then she'd have to enter into a duel with the original one. The winner would hold the title of Goddess of the Written Word and Koorlithulu, and the loser would be erased from the very fabric of the universe. Seeing as the original and current Curly has more practice being Curly and utilizing the powers of the Goddess of the Written Word, the Curly Formerly Known as Dragonrider would be at a distinct disadvantage in this fight.

Edit: The fight would be, of course, an English-ing contest of some sort.

This makes sense. However, it saddens Curly, Goddess of the Written Word that she would be forced to erase her almost-triplet from the universe.
It's advisable therefore, for the safety of the entire universe, and all things written ever, that DeeRee remain DeeRee, Goddess of [Insert Post Here].

[Dr. Bath]

Maaan whaaaat. How could you not want a pygmy elephant? It would be the cutest damn thing, and wouldn't even smell that bad. (the other things are personal wants, so you can not want those if you like)

Stupid reality. Spoiling my fun. It thinks it's so great... It's not!

[Dogmantra]

:smallfrown: People don't like me? Meaniepants.

Well there's a rumour going around that to be the new Koorly, you have to kill and eat the old one. Kind of like the Prime Minister. Obviously we don't want to do that.

[Recaiden]

:smallfrown: People don't like me? Meaniepants.


No, we do like you, hence the ':smallconfused:'. Why wouldn't someone want to be Korly? But the 'only one' thing explains it. Being you isn't to die for, sorry.

Because I'm afraid the pygmy elephant would be terrified of my Demon Cat and would flee in righteous terror causing a substantial amount of property damage and therefore being quite annoying?
I don't pay attention to reality.
I've already decided that when I get my own house (and I mean house, not a flat, or anything (although I might be willing to house share. If they agree with what I'm about to say) I will genuinely fill every room in the house with as many books as possible.
Say, three or four shelves in the bathroom - actually, boxes would be better because of the damp - and possibly boxes and shelves for the kitchen. And then it's straight up shelves and shelves and cases and cases and boxes and boxes of books in every other room.
But if I'm lucky enough to have a shed I think I'll leave that place book free. Unless I get into mending my own books. But in all reality, it would be far too damp and dangerous for the books. WOuldn't want to risk mildew or spots. And then there's dangers to the binding.

*blink*

I should stop rambling about my books.
Anyway!
Yes, that's on my List of Personal Wants. Along with several other things. Like a trip to Iceland. And one to Egypt.

[Alteran]

I agree, actually. How could I do it better?

I don't really know, I'm feeling more stressed than funny right now. And with that, I depart! To D&D, so that I can be even more pressed for time to finish my homework tomorrow!

I'd probably go with something completely abstract with little to no relation to the original joke's idea. Probably involving some sort of particularly obscure reference.

I can't wait to take physics next year... the teacher actually has his 40k Orc army in a case in the back of the classroom. I will be able to add "MOAR DAKKA" to "In place of an answer, please accept this crude drawing of a Velociraptor" for my list of bullsh*t answers. :smallcool:

Hey, Curly, who are you? Hi, I'm Chumley.

Texas.

[Dragonrider]

I actually haven't seen most of the newer videos (but I have seen that one). I had seen a few of their videos over the last few months, but I only started a serious archive-trawl a few days ago. I'm up to June of 2007.

I enjoy most of them, though I find a lot of Hank's songs sorta mediocre, if well-intentionedly nerdy. :smalltongue:

yeah, y'alls pretty much worked this out. :smallamused: I loves my Curly but BEING "my Curly" would probably fracture the universe because I doubt it could contain two of you. Or two of me, for that matter.

I think we decided what I'm the goddess of a while back but I don't happen to recall it myself. It was in one of my RB semi-hiatuses. Invented languages? Was that it? I'm the Goddess of Invented Languages?

Constructed Languages, yes. Although I would have suggested yarn. <.<
I should ever work more on that constructed language of mine. Like, make some actual words and test to see how many mistakes have been made designing it.

The more I learn about real languages other than English, the better mine get. And yarn is sort of a lame and boring godship, and in any case, I only control one sect of yarn-users (crocheters - I don't knit or weave and certainly spinning and carding is out of my hands) so I think the knitters would want a word with me if I claimed dominion over their materials. :smallamused:

Conlangs are one thing with which I'm delighted to play, however.

No. I was trying to turn around to get in my driveway. I forgot that I was on an area that's typically icy. It was also on a slope, which helped me slide. Thus, nearly-piss-inducing fun was had.

Yes. That was indeed lucky. I don't have the money to repair any damages to my car.

Dragonprime, every time someone quotes you, there's a moment where I think "I don't remember saying that..." and then realize that the tail end of the "originally posted by . . . ." is different.

I hate my name! :smallbiggrin:don't suggest I change it because I don't, really, so I'm not going to. ;)

[Dogmantra]

DeeRee, you think that's bad, I mistake quotes from DeePree as mine! They're not even that similar! They have a D, G and N in roughly the same places and that's about it.

I dont think there's anyone else with names similar to Perenelle.....or at least I havent come by any.

Not to my memory, no. Fantasy creatures and classes tend to trip me up a bit, though.

I have this problem in RL, too. I forever call two of my friends by each other's names when we're all together, no because they're similar, but because their names are full of A's, N's, and D's. >.<

My name is really common in my generation (apparently it was really popular for parents to use around 1995) , so I get called by my last name sometimes. Especially in school, when there's at least 3 or 4 other people that have the same name as me in the room. and one of my closest friend's name is really common too, but so is her middle and last name.

Heh, the exact thing happens to me. I once even did the reverse, and thought that I was you. I looked at a thread and thought to myself "Oh, Dragonrider posted." Then I checked, and saw it was me. :smallannoyed:

DeePree...

I'm really slow. I stared at DeePree for AGES before I figured out that no, it wasn't a reference to some obscure person I've never heard of, it's Dragonprime. :smallbiggrin:


Edit: also, I made a buttload of scones today. Eight chocolate chip, eight citrus, and eight citrus-with-cranberries. I had one choc chip and half of a c-with-c. They were amazingly delicious considering I did it without a recipe. :smallbiggrin:

My first thought was that DeePree was just DeeRee with a typo in it. :smalltongue:

anyways, I'm about to go insane. my great grandma came down from New York and has been staying at my house for the past week. I know I should be tolerant since she's 87 years old and hardly speaks any english (she speaks Sicilian, and my family is made up of either Northern Italians of Sicilians), but she's driving me crazy. she's completely taken over my bathroom and now it smells like old perfume, she wanders around the house looking for things that she left somewhere, and moves stuff around. and due to my partial obsessive need to keep things in spots where I left them, it annoys me to know end when stuff "magically" disappears. Normally she stays with my Aunt, but even she got fed up with dealing with her. on top of all this I have Exams to study for, and All-District Band Auditions next Saturday, and a whole bunch of other stressful things going on and just.... ughhhh... :smallyuk: :smallsigh:

My last name is only four letters, but I cannot think of a single person I know who could pronounce it correctly the first time round. No one.

As for my first name . . . six letters and zero vowels. (Well, there *is* a y that vaguely passes.) It has a higher batting average than my last name but still the odds are I'll get some bizarre mispronunciation. Combine this with being virtually un-nicknameable (I have lots of nicknames, some of which include my first name, but all of which make it longer), and things get wonky.

Oh my... That was probably my fault. Sorry 'bout that. Don't feel like you have to play Scrabble with me every time I ask.

[Zocelot]

My last name, Rubinoff (the u is hard), is spelled exactly how it is pronounced. It still seems catchy to some people, and they use it as a nickname, but I have a general aversion to nicknames and so I encourage people not to use it.

[Moff Chumley]

In one week, I am seeing Alan Holdsworth, Terry Bozzio, Tony Levin, and Pat Massetello play a completely improvised jazz/prog rock/fusion/electronica set.

I'm really excited about this. :smallwink:

[Phase]

So my mom's off to Terrytown for a week to run a convention. I shall be without strict guidelines...

Sigh. So much work tomorrow...

[Dragonrider]

DeeRee... epic brain fail: there is a vowel other than the y in your name.
(Before you ask, I know your real name because of facebook, Felix and coincidence)

It's silent. :smalltongue: Also only there because my parents are weird.

Also, curse that Facebook! :smallamused:

[randman22222]

Every time I see that site, Ookoodook, I wonder how it's pronounced.

Ook oo dook?
Oo koo dook?
Oo kood ook?
Etc.
:smallconfused:

[Recaiden]

It's silent. :smalltongue: Also only there because my parents are weird.

It was your idea to let a playgrounder get ahold of it. :smalltongue:

And I think it's the 1st one, Rand.

[Phase]

I'm closing in on the conclusion of Death Note. What other anime is good?

[Recaiden]

I'm closing in on the conclusion of Death Note. What other anime is good?

Well, what other ones have you seen already? That matters.

*Also, Recaiden's idea of 'good' is a very strange one.

[Phase]

Umm...

None?

[Neko Toast]

Phase: Well, what TV or Movie genres do you like?

[Phase]

I dunno how to classify my interests too cleanly. I guess in anime I'm looking my some humour mixed with not too over-the-top action. For example Death Note has very little actual action, but it's still action-y.

I guess suspense/intrigue too?

Cowboy Bebop. It's an anime that is recommended for almost everyone.

Eden of the East (Higashi no Eden) is like the Bourne Identity with humor. I liked this one a lot. In a sense, the action is like that of Death Note, in that there's not a lot of "action", but it can still hold your attention. I can't guarantee that you'll love it (it does have a few flaws, IMO), but it should be generally enjoyable.

[Phase]

Awesome, thanks.

In other news: Airplane food, amirite?

[randman22222]

Awesome, thanks.

In other news: Airplane food, amirite?

Dear Lord, no!

[A Rainy Knight]

Awesome, thanks.

In other news: Airplane food, amirite?

The last plane ride I was on was years ago, and I don't remember a thing about the food. Perhaps that's for the best.

[Coidzor]

I get to ride on a plane tomorrow! I'm a bit nervous about it, since I'm not quite sure what the new rules are other than no objects in one's lap or carryon not in the overhead compartments and not being able to use the restroom. So I'm looking it up right now while picking over my stuff for stuff that wasn't contraband when I flew back home.

[Tanaric]

I'd suggest Full Metal Alchemist, myself. Because it's still that awesome.

Possibly Ghost in the Shell, too.

...what am I doing in Random Banter? I'm lost!

Don't worry, we don't usually eat people.

Now, non-persons on the other hand...

[Anuan]

I'm closing in on the conclusion of Death Note. What other anime is good?

Fixed that for you.

Ranma 1/2 or Slayers if you want something fun and not too serious but still actiony. Ranma 1/2 is martial arts romantic comedy (personally probably my favourite anime), Slayers is vaguely D&D-esque.

Neon Genesis Evangelion is good, but highly annoying occasionally. Also sometimes confusing. The ending especially.

I second Cowboy Bebop and Full Metal Alchemist.

There's more, but my brain's fuzzy at the moment.

[Dogmantra]

My last name is only four letters, but I cannot think of a single person I know who could pronounce it correctly the first time round. No one.

People always try to insert an extra E or A into my surname, so I've got into the habit of spelling it out whenever I tell someone for the first time.

Phase: Couple of slightly obscure animes, the former of which bears no resemblance to your guidelines, but I like it so much I can't not recommend it:
Air and Busou Renkin. The former will make you cry moon-tears, and the latter has a character whose face is the moon. They're both thematic!

[Cobra_Ikari]

I dont speak Italian, but awww. *huggles* :smalltongue:

yeah, mostly lost in my case though. :smallsigh:

Neither do I, but it's fun to pretend to speak Romance languages. Everyone thinks they're so pretty.

*snuggles*

[Dallas-Dakota]

*actually speaks a (semi-)romance language* >.> eh?

[DraPrime]

*actually speaks a (semi-)romance language* >.> eh?

Which language?

And I have a vague grasp of Spanish. That's a romance language!

[Phase]

Fixed that for you.

Oh, come on. It was entertaining until... IT happened...

[KilltheToy]

Which language?

And I have a vague grasp of Spanish. That's a romance language!

I'm betting it's English. I could be wrong, but IIRC Dutch isn't anything like any romance language.

And I have a vague grasp of Spanish too! And an even vaguer grasp of French! :smallbiggrin:

[Dallas-Dakota]

English is even more distant to the romance languages then dutch... ><
While Dutch is mainly a germanic one with roman influences.

English is just a mix up of stuffses.

I actually speak a nice deal of french. Atleast enough to spent three weeks in france while barely speaking a word of english with them.

[Alteran]

English is even more distant to the romance languages then english. ><


I find this difficult to believe. :smallconfused:

:smalltongue:

[DraPrime]

Me too. What were you trying to say D-D?

[Dallas-Dakota]

More distant to the romance language-family then dutch. ><

You get a cookie for making your failure amusing.

Eden of the East...

Hope you like johnnies.

Hmm. Things:

Gurren Lagann. Any clips of this will undoubtedly be spoilers.
Trigun. I don't recommend googling this one either.
Cowboy Bebop. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJEJjxuGe9g)
Hellsing: the OVAs entitled 'Hellsing: Ultimate', not the anime. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXVesFy4ftM)


Things you won't like despite them being amazing:

Azumanga Daioh (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UucITQR0SrQ)
One Piece (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c06hv3ZxDdA)
Welcome to NHK (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikFGCQJbHoM). That's just the ending theme, mind. Nothing to do with the anime.
School Rumble

Edit: Oo! Oo! Also Cromartie High School. You can't dislike that. It's a comedy.

[Dr. Bath]

I would also recommend Paranoia Agent and Read or Die (the OVA was better than the series, but the series was still good).

Also: what the hell is welcome to the NHK about? I've only been shown that title video and told it's awesome thus far. (not just from you P_Z) Not the most helpful.

You really think Phase would like Paranoia Agent? Hmm... Maybe.

Welcome to NHK is about Satou Tatsuhiro, a guy who dropped out of university three years ago and has been living as a hikikomori, that is, a complete shut-in who avoids going outside completely, ever since.

One day a girl comes along and says she can cure him of his hikikomori ways. He is understandably skeptical and the story goes from there.

I find it very relatable.

[Dr. Bath]

Yes... Yes I can understand that. I take it that is what the uses of kidult are in reference to? Hmm. Makes sense.

He might like Paranoia Agent. Everyone should like it. Because it's really good. And Shonen Bat is the best phychosomatic shared hallucination ever.

[Player_Zero]

Just the other day I changed my Steam alias to Shōnen Bat and went around batting people in the back of the head in TF2.

Here's a clip of Welcome to NHK (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=en8aDKWyap4) pour vous.

PZ, my five year old brother is commenting on your avatar again:

"He's putting a hat on! Hey, he has big hair and he is a skeleton! Why is that?"

:smalltongue:

[Dr. Bath]

Yes, why are you a skeleton? Is it some deep-seated emotional trauma?

Tell me about your parents.

Also, welcome to the NHK actually look pretty interesting. Bookmark'ded. Dead.

[Jibar]

Azumanga Daioh (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UucITQR0SrQ)

Everyone should like Azumanga Daioh.

[Player_Zero]

Everyone should like Azumanga Daioh.

You know, I say the same thing about One Piece. Some people just have no taste.

[Jibar]

Remind me in future to give it a go.
I still have Angel to work through for now, I'll need a new series after that.

[Ikialev]

Everyone should like Azumanga Daioh.
Not me. Everything in AD is drawn-out, boring, nothing ever happens, everyone acts stupid.

Like 2001: A Space Odyssey.

[Dr. Bath]

I got my eye on you, Il'deav Ilah'naie.

[Neko Toast]

Not me. Everything in AD is drawn-out, boring, nothing ever happens, everyone acts stupid.

That sounds more like Lucky Star. Nothing happens in that anime. And yet people watch it for some reason. I think the opening has some sort of mind-control effect on people.

[Kneenibble]

New Year's Eve under the zenith of a full moon on the middle of a lake. Oh baby.

Anybody ever see a firework called the Joker? Funniest incendiary I've ever known.

[Player_Zero]

All such 'slice of life' shows have very little action in them. The interest isn't in the events but rather the character development.

I understand that. There is some slice of life that I like (ie. Whisper of the Heart... except for its incredibly sappy ending). But Lucky Star, having character development? Psh. Most of it is them talking about how they like pony tails or how they eat certain foods.

Simply riveting. :smallannoyed:

Animewise: my Elder Younger Brother has watched almost everything P_Z has recommended. Elder Younger Brother is also really cynical, slightly apathetic and has dark curly hair.
Just like P_Z (and avatar).

Didn't you also say once that one of your brothers was turning into a Mini-Thufir?
Are you somehow modeling your family into a microcosm of the Playground?

Possibly. No! It's Little Sister who's turning into a Miniature Thufir!
And I truly believe that my (extended) family is large enough to create a Playground microcosm.
The parents are clearly Mods. Mum would be Alarra because she makes great desserts; Dad would be . . . ummmm.

There can only be one.

Sound the drums of war. I am coming.

[Zocelot]

On anime:

The only anime that I have ever really liked was Death Note. Though there are a few that have been recommended that I haven't seen.

[Phase]

There can only be one.

Two, counting Rutskarn.

[Player_Zero]

Two, counting Rutskarn.

I told you already. He's my little brother from an alternate dimension. He's nowhere near as generally mean, callous or deranged as me.

And since he's both younger and less hateful that fits more than my evil twin. (An evil twin of an evil person is an evil evil person so the evils cancel.)

[Dragonrider]

Not actually commenting on this, but DeeRee, I love your new avatar.

Thanks: :smallbiggrin: Said little brother is still sitting on the couch with me (we're running an Original Star Wars marathon) and while I was making it he commented, "She likes purple!" (Meaning the character in the avvie.) Yes, but I need to fix the flower, because right now it is sitting in an awkward place on her ear, which doesn't look like an ear at all.

[Flickerdart]

IRC trivbot classic moments.
[17:32:13] <Oni> 2. Pants?
[17:33:13] <Oni> Time's up! The answer was: green jacket grey pants

Wasn't I supposed to be your uncle or something at one point?

Ugh...back on the job hunt thing again. Thought I'd try to hold onto this one until the summer but right now the thought of that...yeah, no, I don't think that's going to work. Really wish I could just get over this.

[Dragonrider]

Wasn't I supposed to be your uncle or something at one point?

You're our uncle because TwoBit is our father. :smalltongue:
