Deth Muncher's Destructive and Meandering Random Banter #141

[Deth Muncher]

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.

Quit reminding me of that which I cannot have.

Also, I guess boogieing is in order for the new thread, but some took that tradition from me a while ago so I guess it's up to them.

I hate it when deleted scenes are put into the previouslies. :smallannoyed:

[Dogmantra]

I've had the same fountain pen for almost five years now. I hold it in a really rather weird way and due to the amount of use it's seen and the position in which I hold it, the nib has actually worn down to something resembling a calligraphy pen.

The punchline is that it was in a pack of 3 for £1.99 pens and it's outlasted numerous friends' fancy pens. I did unscrew the nib and put it in the case of another of the pens from that pack almost three years ago though because my old one was pretty much broken and the lid no longer even tried to stay on. It also makes a lot of noise which annoys other people.

[Phase]

leasticoulddo.com is always good

No offense to K-B's taste here, but I would avoid Least I Could Do personally. The art's good, and the comic is fine if you enjoy Gary Stu, author insert, jackass protagonists.

Man, you have no idea. I met Ryan Sohmer last year, and he really is Rayne. The only differences I spotted were: Sohmer resembles Rayne's brother in the comic more, and Sohmer is also Jewish.

Also, @ Cycorsis - Darn tootin'! I even got real off-brand name-brand lemon-scented cleaner. I pull out ALL THE STOPS.

Sohmer resembles Rayne's brother in the comic more, and Sohmer is also Jewish.

Ugh, don't remind me of my tangential relations.

When life hands you lemons you should think, think until you can figure out how you got an abstract construct like life to give real physical lemons. then repeat the experience and start a fruit stand specializing in lemons, sell them for cheap and defeat the big fruit corporations, using your vast fortune to conquer the world!!! MWAHAAHAHA!!! Ahem, Sorry ignore that.

Anyway, for today, students from the university in town made a lot of funny styrofoam boats whom they sailed upon down the stream going through the town centre and crash down the rapids (litterary). Pretty funny to see them fall off their disintegrating boats, actually.

Now in the evening, people have built and lit enormous bonfires in different places across town. Perhaps I should take my bike and go down to the nearest one after I've eaten my ice-cream.

[Dr. Bath]

Anyone have webcomic suggestions? Or something to watch on hulu? I think I've run out of entertainment.

OH MAN DID SOMEONE SAY WEBCOMIC SUGGESTIONS. YES SOMEONE DEFINITELY DID.

Problem Sleuth (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=4) Animation and ridiculosity in the form of a reader driven point-and-click/text-based game parody
Homestuck (http://goo.gl/DEzA) Unrelated sequel to problem sleuth. Considerably epic.
Guilded Age (http://goo.gl/GzT0) Comic fantasy thingy. Pretty good
Dinosaur Comics (http://goo.gl/P8Nv) Amusing 6 panels
The Abominable Charles Christopher (http://goo.gl/m6Uy) Beautiful. Read this.
Bad Machinery/ScaryGoRound (http://goo.gl/oMzR) Wonderful British supernatural shenanigans
Gunnerkrigg Court (http://goo.gl/jmkn) More of the same but more drama less comedy (still lots of both) DOUBLE READ THIS. It is gorgeous.
Nedroid (http://goo.gl/Nt1G) 'Zany' joke a day strips
Sam and Fuzzy (http://goo.gl/NVkX) Ongoing epic comedy drama about a man and his bear (also ninjas)
Gastrophobia (http://goo.gl/y2rw) The twelves tasks of Heracles, but different.
Lackadaisy Cats (http://goo.gl/7Yy5) Prohibition cats
The Non-Adventures of Wonderella (http://goo.gl/ae80) The worst superhero of all time
Hanna is not a boy's name (http://goo.gl/3qa3) Further super-natural shenanigans. Clever and pretty layout and flow
Pear-Pear (http://goo.gl/wLqh) A pear and mug's flourishing romance. Wordless
Sin Titulo (http://goo.gl/dVUb) Um. I'm not really sure. One man's descent into madness and despair. Not child friendly (blood and 'adult themes')

That may be enough.

[Fifty-Eyed Fred]

Wow, a new thread. How long does each one normally last? It seems we got to 50 pages pretty quickly.

I've had one of those really exhausting weeks; I'm very glad to be doing absolutely nothing at all this evening, and I'm normally the type who gets bored after a while, if that's a reasonable measure of fatigue. :smalltongue:


I actually need to reread Wuthering Heights for my exams. It's been nearly five years since I last read it all the way through.
If you like the ambiguity of Bronte's I aslo highly recommend VIllette, it's a very claustrophobic book which balances nicely between 'normality', insanity and the supernatural wonderfully.

In that case I order you to read The Duchess of Malfi. Bosolo is an amazing malcontent and my favourite one, and don't forget, I've not read Othello yet, so I have no real opinion on Iago.
Bosolo's so misogynistic it's funny, he has some of the best lines, including one that can be paraphrase thusly: "Thy face, when removed of its makeup resembles nothing more than the feotus of an aborted hedgehog." :smallbiggrin:
ANd yes, you can find the entire Malfi text online.
Two recommendations from someone I know has similar tastes to myself... perfect! :smallbiggrin:


Have you read Riddle 23 of The Exeter Book?

“I am a wonderful help to women
The hope of something good to come
I harm only my slayer
I grow very tall, erect in a bed
I am shaggy down below
The lovely girl grabs my body, rubs my red skin
Holds me hard, claims my head.
That girl will feel our meeting!
I bring tears to her eyes!
What am I?”

An onion.
Nothing like a spot of double entendre is there?
That was great. :smallbiggrin:
I love what a good sense of humour these people obviously had as well - something else you wouldn't normally think of immediately with Anglo-Saxons. It's a shame since the riddles are very witty to say the least. :smallamused:

Least I Could Do

Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal
The Book of Biff
Hello With Cheese

[absolmorph]

No offense to K-B's taste here, but I would avoid Least I Could Do personally. The art's good, and the comic is fine if you enjoy Gary Stu, author insert, jackass protagonists.
Hey, Rayne has some tender moments.
Like when he drank a bunch of Red Bull and nearly died, causing him to have a hallucination.
Or when he revealed that his pranks on John were largely because they didn't spend any time together.
Or when he found out Kate was living with Noel.
He's just a very... odd... character.

Additionally, a video series that could eat up some time if you don't mind the more creepy/horror (although, of course, YourMileageMayVary*), is MarbleHornets (Introduction for Plot (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wmhfn3mgWUI) | First Entry to Skip That Crap (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bn59FJ4HrmU)) which is perhaps THE definitive Slender Man series. And if you enjoy it, there's plenty of parodies, homages, and stuff to watch and eat up more time. Looking at a couple of hours for the entire thing, most likely.

*And to eat up more time, TV Tropes.

[Elentari]

I've been looking at the webcomic suggestions, and I noticed that no one has brought up the Looking For Group (http://www.lfgcomic.com)comic. Its this awesome fantasy with a bit (oops i meant a lot) of mockery.

[Recaiden]

Keychain of Creation is good too (but generally needs at least a passing interest in Exalted)

Or at least an appreciation for jokes involving games.
My idea of Exalted before reading it was "It's that cyberpunk-thing, right?"

And I tend to like Daisy Owl (http://www.daisyowl.com/). Even if it's named for the main character.

[Dr. Bath]

The main character is really Steve and/or Mr. Owl I would say, not really Daisy.

Stop (mostly) suggesting average to terrible things! Stop it stop it!

[Recaiden]

Named for a character then.

Hey! That comic is average to good, not average to terrible.
You should suggest good things. A bad start is better than no start at all, in some situations.

[Jibar]

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Happy First of May everybody!

[Dr. Bath]

I said mostly, Daisy Owl is real good. It's sad it doesn't update much anymore.

What do you think my suggestions were? That is 15 of the highest quality webcomics around. They go from Great to Absitively brilliant.

Have you got your rioting hat on then Jibar?

[PJ the Epic]

It's still April in my timezone, so this looks odd. :smallconfused:

On a similar note, happy Walpurgis Night everyone!

I know I'm not often in the random banter but...

How the hell do you eat a Klondike Bar without it becoming a mess? Every time it becomes more difficult to eat it from one end without it collapsing, and eating around the edges just makes it explode later on.

And then you get to the end and half of the coating has splintered to pieces.

Freeze it in liquid nitrogen and eat it on a stick. Simple enough. I thought that's how everyone ate 'em. :smallwink:


Mostly, I try to one or two bite them and let the chunks slowly melt in my mouth.

[Dragonrider]

BNL HAS A NEW ALBUM!?!? WHO FAILED TO TELL ME?!! :smallfurious:

<-- goes and attempts to acquire

It's called "All In Good Time". I can't decide how I feel about it yet. I love about a third of the songs (notes new lyrics in the sig, thanks to "summertime"), but I'm just not a fan of Kevin Hearn's voice, and his songs feel predictable to me. I love Ed Robertson, though. LOVE. All and all, it's a much more serious album than any of their earlier disography, but that's been the trend in the last ten years ("Barenaked Ladies are Me" and "Barenaked Ladies are Men" in particular had some serious pieces, but still a lot of humor). And they've still got their trademark fun pieces, and sarcasm, and bizarre theoretical situations.

Basically, I feel like they haven't quite found their stride yet, without Steven Page, but I like the feel of their music.

I have Gordon, Maybe You Should Drive, Rock Spectacle, part of Stunt (I don't know what happened to the rest, but I can't find the disc), Maroon, Greatest Hits '91-'01, Everything to Everyone, BLAMen, Snacktime (their kids' album), and All In Good Time. I really need to purchase the rest of their discography.

Do you fear The Guild because you are worried that Felicia Day might summon a giant Niel Patrick Harris to crush you with a science-boot?

How did you know about that dream?! I never told anyone!

Seriously, though, it's just weird. I watched the first episode, and when a guy from her guild turns up at the front door, I started feeling uncomfortable.
Seriously, he knows where her BATHROOM is.
Also, I may need to get a new suit this week. I have a formal dance on the 8th, and my old one has a few... issues >,>

I have two suits. One cost £150 from a shop that specialised in them which my mum bought because she insisted I had to have a good one, was bought with the end of 6th Form ball in immediate mind. In less than 3 years the stitching on the jacket has completely fallen apart twice.

The other cost £1 from the Salvation army, which I bought because I had a job interview at Greggs and needed a smart jacket. It might as well be made of adamantium, it was 30 years old when I bought it and I think it may well outlast the Earth, still in perfect condition.

Finishing a full clean of a 1-bed flat shouldn't feel like an achievement. I hope I can get back to work next week, I'm so bored.

Tell you what should feel like an achievement: doing an entire ICT project over the course of one weekend that is designed to last a good few weeks and doing it well.

However, I cannot feel that yet because I have zero motivation. :smallmad:

Also I may get a T-Shirt printed that says "You are now aware of every breath you take. Have a nice day!"

Apparently my family just can't be trusted on their own.

In the month since I saw them last my mum and step-dad have given up work, my sister has turned into a massive skunk addict (technically this was already happening but she hid it well) and has been permanently kicked out of my mum's house, my mum and dad are back to the way they were when they first divorced, my granddad (who I thought was at least feeling better) could die any second and most shocking of all my brother is selling his life partner x-box.

Seriously, how does this all happen in a month. A warning to the playground, don't forget to call your family, they might have sprouted wings or been turned into chocolate or something.

The xbox comment is more true than you imagine. He's been closer to that thing since he got it than most people are to their husbands/wives. I wasn't kidding, that was actually the most unexpected of all those things.

See that big red splotch of high pollen in the NorthEast? Notice how it's pretty much centered on New York?

Guess what state I live in the center of? D:

Yeah...Pollen count of 11.3 today (out of...13? Er...okay, allergy scientists...), and some rather large spikes in the past few days...this leads me to believe that my sudden attack of allergy-related woes are not a coincidence...:p

Not doing proper homework will come back and bite you in the arse when you least expect it, that's my prophecy to you.

How will I die, and how long from now?

I give your prophecies Golentan's Official Seal of Failure.

While it is a valiant effort, based upon your available knowledge, your date and mechanism are both INCORRECT!!! Thank you for playing, you may pick up your consolation prize (a commemorative picture of a turkey) on your way out. Popcorn is available in the lobby.

For the record, vagueness, handwaving, distant future predictions, and parlor tricks only get you so far. And I'm not going out in my sleep, unless you count "Unconsciousness from critical systems failure induced by numerous high energy events" as "sleep." And I have a while yet before I'm allowed to stop kicking and meet back up with my companions.

...

I've never seriously claimed invulnerability, either, Raiki. Though I joke/lie a lot about myself a lot, so I may have made offhand comments, and for a certain degree of invulnerable it's true (no way anything of human manufacture'll hurt me anytime soon). As for immortality: Theoretically, yes. Life expectancy > life expectancy of all the protons in the observable universe for a fresh-off-the-line Krynchatal Tsuzagekiruan class frame. Assuming no damage. I've got about 136 years left on my ticker at current rates, barring repairs. Oh wait, everyone who could repair me is also dead. Welp. Only one thing to do. Bartender, I'll take... (counts playgrounders) 43,012 shots of your finest whiskey. And they'll all have the same (to anyone underage: Wait until you're twenty one, it will be better then anyway). Put it on my tab!

But.... why?

[Innis Cabal]

If your actually psyhic and can see the future why do you need us to post questions to you. Shouldn't you be PMing us the answers to what we want to ask?

BINGO U WIN GIVE THIS MAN A COOKIE... i really am one but i dont try to often cuz it wears out my body. Thru all this ive been cold reading like sylvia brown. If you really want me to do something like this id have to meet u in person.

If you're an actual seer why can't you type in proper understandable english.

[Bothi]

No, and I'm to lazy and english is my second languege

[Serpentine]

Hey Innis: you're :smalltongue:

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

How old is my cat, and what's his name?

[Innis Cabal]

Hey Innis: you're :smalltongue:

Haven't the foggest clue what your trying to say there.

[wadledo]

If all the worlds a stage, how may thespians do I have to beat up to pay for a donut and coffee?

[Bothi]

What about cold reading do you not get, the first answer (Serprntine) is none, it ruins thier larynx

[Serpentine]

That it's a load of bollocks, and you seem to be wanting us to take you seriously? Or something? :smallconfused: Perhaps you could make a SMBG game out of this.
Haven't the foggest clue what your trying to say there.Oh, terribly sorry. My mistake :smallwink:

[Bothi]

its a part of the throat, its simple science EDIT- and you shouldnt take me seriously in this thread, i was in a bored sarcastic mood and this was completely random. i am a phsycic, but all this in this thread is random bull.

[Serpentine]

I meant cold reading. I know what the larynx is, though not everyone does and probably wouldn't enjoy being belittled for that lack of knowledge.

[Innis Cabal]

Cold Reading is a method of garnering information about people based on their apperance, body langauge and general conversation to glean deeper information about the person without actually asking prying questions.

Sherlock Holmes used it. House uses it.


In other words, its just a fancy trick

[Serpentine]

Yes, I know :smallsigh: Aka, a load of bunk if expected to be taken seriously (as anything other than a trick and/or exercise in psychology).
Tch :smalltongue:

[Bothi]

sorry for the belittlement (Innis gets another cookie for his knowledge of cold reading)

[Deth Muncher]

[druid91]

:smallconfused:
But.... why?

So as not to make a mess. Besides I eat everything with a spoon. Except when no spoons are clean.

[golentan]

"Obviously" and "Actually" are two different things. For most of human history, in the minds of the population the world was "obviously" flat. The sun "obviously" revolved around it. Slavery was "obviously" a perfectly moral practice. Women were "obviously" weaker and less suited to rule then men.

And I know because someone else told me. Someone who's gotten what came before spot on, and someone who would know. I waste my time with things like this because almost in spite of myself I like people, and I don't like charlatans, and I have a hundred and thirty two years to kill somehow. Needling people foolish enough to do cold readings over the internet and apparently expecting to be taken seriously sounds fun.

[EmeraldRose]

So, Bothi, what you're saying is that you want us to ask you questions regarding our future life events, because you're bored. However, we should not take you seriously because "all this in this thread is random bull"? :smallconfused:

Tell me then, how most of the Playgrounders are likely to respond to this thread.

[Spiryt]

That's probably the most silly thread I've read in a while.

And I'm reading a lot of Sherdog recently. :smalltongue:

Hey. Hey you.

I hate you. I hate you ten times.

[Kneenibble]

Tell me then, how most of the Playgrounders are likely to respond to this thread.

By the replies so far, they're likely to scoff at it in the same breath as demeaning themselves by trying to discredit it.

Don't stop on my account though, it's pretty funny. :smallsmile:

[Dragonrider]

because cleaning spoons is HARD? :smallwink: :smalltongue:

[wadledo]

I'm still waiting for the answer to my question.

[Comet]

If I suddenly started worshipping someone because they can apparently see the future, can we get this thread locked for religious discussion?

Because I don't really see this thing going anywhere particularly constructive either way :smalltongue:

[druid91]

because cleaning spoons is HARD? :smallwink: :smalltongue:

Nope because I am not taking my sisters turn at the dishes, If it were my turn they would already be clean before I eat anything.:smalltongue:

[Bothi]

If all the worlds a stage, how may thespians do I have to beat up to pay for a donut and coffee?

42........

[Bothi]

How do u lock this? It was started as a joke and im tryin to figure out how to end it.

[druid91]

You don't, The admins can lock it but no-one else, You could simply ignore the thread until it goes past the necromancy event horizon and is (probably) gone forever.

[Deth Muncher]

Hey. Hey you.

I hate you. I hate you ten times.

Actually, if it makes you feel better, I technically saw Flogging Molly last month, so I'm limited to only one concert a month. So it's not SO bad.

[Raistlin1040]

I'd expect a Psychic to know the answer to that question.

[Dragonrider]

Nope because I am not taking my sisters turn at the dishes, If it were my turn they would already be clean before I eat anything.:smalltongue:

You could be like me and have one spoon that BELONGS ONLY TO YOU. Whenever you use it, you wash it. T herefore, you always have one clean spoon.

Someone stole my very favorite spoon. :smallfrown: It was plain stainless steel, simple, but it had scrolling on the handle. I loved it. It had been mine since I was nine years old.

I'll shut up now. :smalltongue:

I also inadvertently ended up with a fork and mug like that because my housemates stole the rest of my cutlery and mugs.

See that only works if they Acknowledge that it is yours, theoretically I have a lord of the rings goblet that is mine. I found it filled with some sort of old chocolate desert. Heck I have my own set of dishes, they are sitting in my closet and that is all that keeps them from being used.

You can either not worry about it, or you can ask one of the mods to lock it.

Now, tell me first how I know you're using real, quality guts. Because I don't want my augury spoilt by cheap or imaginary guts. :smallamused:

[Dr. Bath]

I buy only from the highest quality bird fanciers! Do you need names? Franz Liebkind is where I get my racing doves, Old Bailey is who I go to for sparrows and hawks, and of course Mother Goose for larger poultry.

[EmeraldRose]

Well, I suppose that is good enough for an internet augury. What can I get for a copper piece and 2 lead slugs?

[Dr. Bath]

Vagaries and a glimmer of hope.

[EmeraldRose]

Ah well, I suppose that's what it'll have to be then. Tell me then, good doctor, what do you see in my immediate future?

Hey, I'm not going to scoff at someone if they can actually issue accurate predictions. I've had accurate, specific predictions done. Not by anyone who claimed to be psychic/magic, of course, because those people are almost entirely insane. But the future is knowable, at least to a certain degree (we do have free will, louise. It's just that it's predetermined). I waited for scoffing until after failure.

And I'll demean myself in any way I choose, thank you very much. On which note, does anyone have any crisco?

Yeah... Not the normal sort of humor that goes over well, bothi. Partly because you (a pixie) insisted on it in all seriousness without a wink-wink nudge-nudge while misspelling. Not to mention ignoring/misunderstanding regulars, with implied insults. Default assumption: that what lives under bridges and has it's regeneration overcome with fire.

[Dr. Bath]

I see... great danger. The gods will send a doom of hellfire down 'pon the house of Rose. However! Hope lies buried under the rubble I forsee, all can be prevented with a timely appeasing of the gods. I recommend a sacrifice of a goat in the local shrine.

Did I mention I'm also the altar master at the local shrine? I do like a good roast goat.

[EmeraldRose]

Hellfire hmm? Well I suppose it could've been worse. Could've been a plague of 10 year olds or somesuch.

I've an extra goat round the back. Do you have a servant to send over for it?

Well see dear, these symptoms are ample evidence that you can go ahead and scoff... but to engage with such a fellow seriously, whether he is consciously trolling or just ridonculous, is to demean oneself. It's just like that one guy in the boobquake thread.

Although I was referring more to those who were going at it without your distinct sense of humour (or any at all).

Here's your Crisco, I borrowed it when this guy with a nightstick popped in for a ... visit.

Also, Dr. Bath,
I offer up my birdish body to your auspicious administrations. No anaesthetic please.

[absolmorph]

One of my friends has a titanium spork.
And, apparently, a spork collection.

EDIT: Wow, apparently I has haters.
Some people on formspring "asked" my girlfriend the following "questions":
"[my name] is gross"
"I expected more for you"

I've also had someone repeatedly imply I'm gay (which I suspect was intended to be an insult; I decided those parts were unworthy of my response). That person also has a tendency to put a space before question marks, so I know exactly who it is and I'm plotting retribution for his idiotic questions by imitating his style of writing and asking my other friends questions that piss 'em off.
I sometimes go over-board in my pay back...

I've been making petty snipes at someone I mildly dislike via formspring, and then they figured out it was me, so someone started white knighting on my page. I derailed them into talking about Plants vs. Zombies.

I'm also the king of disproportionate retribution and hold the record for the "Make Sam cry" award. 8 texts, 10 minutes total. I'm quite protective of those close to me.

I prefer to take a more bard-like approach to revenge. Use my Forgery ranks to make some people who were previously harassed (by awkward questions) by the target believe the target is after 'em again, then let thing happen.

That's... kinda awesome, but scary at the same time. I tend to just hammer them with criticism.

I have wished the maximum amount of wishing.

You most likely have, I didn't make it up, I just heard it somewhere and really liked it!

[Fawkes]

So, I've been reading those ban-bait topics, waiting for the hammer to fall.

I feel like I've set up a folding chair and a cooler of beer and sat down next to a car accident. Also, the driver is drunk, drove into a pole, and is now trying to take a swing at a police officer, and I just know the guys gonna get tased and it's gonna be hilarious.

[Quincunx]

Huh. You're right--it IS just like "Cops"! :smallcool: Needs more gunslinger-y theme music, though.

Also just spent time watching other people do work. . .well, not people, but a tiny, curly-legged spider which moved in along with the pots of chives. It is far from being the only critter to catch a lift, which is why I was so pleased to see it capture one of the carrot flies and package it up in silk. The spider itself is about as large as a carrot fly in the body, and these miniatures were backlit by a sun so strong they seemed translucent. I do love watching predation in action. There's a sense of communal action, like singers performing the same music, which the solitary munching of a herbivore misses. Now if I can just add another melody and capture a wild ladybug to feast on the aphids, which are on their second indoor generation. . .

Our house is almost literary flooded with silverfish, which is kind of gross, but we do have some allies living together with us too: wolf spiders. They are really cool, but I haven't seen anyone catch a silverfish yet (they remain hidden during daytime, so I won't see them especially often). My dad even has a workmate who supplies him with new spiders whenever he finds one in his own house. :smallbiggrin:

[Anuan]

I just found out what I look like with my goatee twisted into two little bits, a la Marco from Nightwish. Not bad, is the verdict. Which is good, because generally it looks too...whispy. Because it naturally parts and doesn't grow as long in the middle (slight chin-dimple. Thumbrint style, not pin-hole style.) so it doesn't look as thick as it is. May buy some wax or something and do this permanently...

[Trobby]

I'm considering an attempt at the goatee-sideburns-mustache look myself. I think I could pull it off if I learn proper grooming techniques.

Also, every time I see that avatar, I go "Daaaaww!" But not just because it's adorable. :smallredface:

Dear Banterants,
If you're anything like me, you live like a harem woman and wake up just in time for lunch. And when you do, the best possible meal is Lego (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qsWFFuYZYI&feature=player_embedded).

Quincunx: Watching a spider feed is music. This is not to be doubted. If you have success against your aphids, do you suppose you could extrapolate a remedy for the mealybugs that are sucking the life juice out of one of my grapefruit trees?

Teddy: Even catching silverfish and tossing them in a large spider's web, the spider won't eat them. I don't think they're tasty. Centipedes, however, are their natural predator, did you know? - and both are otherwise harmless in the house ecosystem.

[Cleverdan22]

Hooray! I just got my web page design project switched from the watercar to webcomics! Time to do work by reading OotS, Dr. McNinja, and Girl Genius in class for "research."

Good times.

I hope you've got plenty of applesauce on hand, because it's the easiest thing to eat.

[Mauve Shirt]

Aw, thanks for the well-wishes. *hugs DR*

I feel much better after a nap/listening to some french people babbling (I dunno, it was background noise that didn't require paying attetion since I didn't understand it at all). I've had some broth. Apple sauce actually sounds awesome. I'll have my mom get me some.

I guess the experience is nothing compared to the brain surgery. Though after brain surgery I was on morphine, which was quite helpful. xD

When I had my wisdom teeth removed, they prescribed Vicodin. I only had the first pill though. After realizing that Mario hadn't moved for the past 20 minutes, I couldn't stand the thought of taking another. One week after my wisdom teeth were removed, 2 teeth on the top near the front of my mouth had their roots put in (for attaching the fake teeth). Vicodin prescribed again, but I knew I wasn't going to take it. I need to be able to game.

[Dragonrider]

They gave me morphine after my appendix surgery when I was 12 and I . . . reacted badly. I don't remember any of it. In fact, I barely remember anything of that week. I think maybe that's why the wisdom tooth surgery looms so much worse. I refused all food for two days, was on the couch for seven days, and sick for three weeks. My face took two months to return to its normal appearance.

I think anesthesia and I are, in general, not friends.

When I had my wisdom teeth out, there was no way I could game without my Vicodin. Or was I prescribed oxycodone? Whatever. It hurt like hell and gaming was the last thing on my mind.

Ironically, when I tore my foot open by accident last August, I was mostly upset that I tore a hole in one of my good pairs of socks. Yeah, it hurt to have a two-inch-long gash (maybe 5 mm deep? Dunno...) in my foot, but the sock and shoe couldn't heal on their own.

Yes, I realized I just used both English customary and Metric systems in one sentence. That's 'cause I'm 'Merican (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Eagleland)! In AMERICA, we learn both systems! Though the extent to which we learn Metric depends on the focus of our studies...

It's the exact same in England. Why have a codified, coherent system of measurement when we can have a strange, hodgepodge, amalgamation of different systems.

But bing is so terrible! The obnoxious adverts put me off ever using it. (that and it looks pretty awful, all cluttered an that)

What adverts? I can't find too many using it...

As for quality, I don't care about look.

It does produce somehow "worse" search results than google usually, so I'm sometimes using them both, to see what'll be more interesting.

But the picture's choice is great. Very nice ones..

[Eldpollard]

Yes, Microsoft are going to have to try quite hard to steal me from Google's vice like grip. The thing is, is that Google's results tend to be very accurate, far more so than Bing's are.

EDIT: That hedgehog is stupidly cute though. I approve, especially as it's now my birthday.

[Je dit Viola]

Oh. Guess what.

I found out that the previous owners of the house I'm in (my parent's house) had a teenage son just younger than I am, who committed suicide. In the room next to mine (which is the basement. I'm the only one who sleeps in the basement).

It's a really creepy story.

[Phase]

Your house is haunted. Don't walk around naked.

[Blue Ghost]

Oh. Guess what.

That's quite fascinating, and I guess somewhat disturbing. But I wouldn't worry too much about the ghost. If you forget about it, it won't bother you.

[Mando Knight]

Your house is haunted. Don't walk around naked.

Pssshhh. A suicidal teenager's ghost is fairly easy to keep out of the house.

Unless he wasn't really suicidal, but got killed, and you're his large-breasted, red-headed, slightly crazy little sister. But then you shouldn't worry, since the tall, athletic guy that you've had a mutual crush on for a while will come and exorcise your big brother when he's gone insane and tries to kill you from beyond the grave.

[Je dit Viola]

No...I'm not his sister, I don't think. If he were still alive, he could be my dad or my uncle, since he would only be about 37 or something. My dad's just over 40.

But, since ghosts don't really age, I finished getting dressed.

[Blue Ghost]

Where did that last part come from? The part about getting dressed?

[Je dit Viola]

In response to Phase's comment. Plus, since my laptop's in my room, I post as I get dressed.
No reason.
*whistles innocently*

Anyway, getting back on topic:
I think leather jackets look so cool. I love mine. I would wear it all the time if it matched more than two thirds of my clothes.

[Blue Ghost]

That's what you call getting back on topic? :smallconfused:

Leather jackets are cool. I only wear my blue cotton jacket myself, though. I try to always wear blue, but sometimes I forget and put on my black jacket instead.

[Phase]

Topic is a myth here in random banter. I think I saw it once, but it just turned out to be some topical cream for my yeast infection.

[Deth Muncher]

I'm a fan of leather jackets, but I can never find one that fits me well.

[Recaiden]

Where do you get Blue leather? :smallconfused:

I like my leather jacket, but it's so hot around here, that I hardly ever have cause to wear it.

IB tests start tomorrow around here. I should probably be panicking, ah? Though I've done plenty of studying.

And our house used to be haunted, but the ghost got bored and left.

[Blue Ghost]

I don't think anyone mentioned blue leather.

IB testing? I'm afraid I don't know what that is. AP testing starts tomorrow for me. I'm not too worried about that. I always do quite well on tests.

International Baccalaureate. God, it's hard.

[Recaiden]

Ah. I missed the word cotton. Though, what good is a cotton jacket? They wouldn't be especially warm or anything.

IB (http://www.ibo.org/) is sort of like that, in testing at least. More writing and short answer, less multiple choice. It's on a 7 point scale, and supposed to be hard. Though the only one I'm concerned about is Spanish.

[Mando Knight]

Anyway, getting back on topic:

Back on topic? THIS! IS! RANDOM BANTER!

But yes, leather jackets are pretty swell. I'd wear one if I had one.

[Je dit Viola]

So, in Senior Year, I took 6 AP classes (and one College Level class, (I was the only one to get an "A" in it out of my classmates) (so I had to take an early morning and an after school class also), in High School. My cousin and friends took IB classes. They were complaining about how hard their homework was, so I took a look at their homework.

I found out that IB and AP classes are pretty much exactly the same, except IB has more essays (Except English; the Senior English Lit/Lang teacher gave out more essays in her AP classes), and that their homework is really really easy. Or it could have just been IB was new, so the easy teachers taught it, while all the hardest teachers in the school taught AP.

Maybe it was just me.

When IB was first introduced at my school, I looked at the coursework, and the specific classes looked boring. Like, given the courses they require you to take, it moves you towards either being a scientist or a teacher. Forutnately, though, IB classes have less students than AP or Honors or regular classes (at least in my school), so they have more time with the teacher so it helps you learn more.

However, since I didn't want to be a teacher or a scientist (I'm working on both a Masters as a Mechanical Engineer, and getting a Doctorate in Medicine), I figured that IB classes weren't for me.

Six AP classes? Senior year? You, Viola, are crazy.
(I'm taking 4 this year, and 3 next year.)

I'm puzzled about Recaiden too. Maybe we should talk to him about this?

[Thajocoth]

It's the exact same in England. Why have a codified, coherent system of measurement when we can have a strange, hodgepodge, amalgamation of different systems.


If Mario hadn't moved wouldn't you have had a time over?

Paper Mario 2. He was standing in Rogueport.

[Je dit Viola]

Well, of course six. If I can take them, I might as well take them. Besides, it made it easier for my college classes. (Granted, last semester, I took classes with people two years ahead of me, but that's beside the point.) The only downside to taking a lot of AP classes is that you have to practice for Chamber Orchestra at 4:30 AM before leaving for early morning class, and for regular Orchestra at 11:30 before going to bed.

Did you get any sleep that year? :smalleek:

Hmm, maybe AP classes are easier where you come from. (Where do you come from, anyway?)
Or maybe I'm just overestimating them.
Or maybe you're just one of those people who can do everything. Yeah, it's the last one, isn't it?

How's college working out for you now?

[Je dit Viola]

Yes, I got enough sleep. I'm from Western United States. AP classes are not easy, I just got really lucky to get my 4s and 5s. Seriously, I'm probably one of the luckiest unlucky persons that I know.

College (University) worked out fine. I'm glad to have a break. Speaking of breaks, this is the longest consecutive amount of times that I have posted in this thread, so now I need to leave. Bye, y'all!

Oh well, I'll let you go for now. I'll have to get your story another time.

There is such an aesthetic as Discobilly, and I have now seen it.

I think perhaps a better word would be Disco-liverance, all told, but looking like a seedy rapist is a small price to pay for not having to shave or button your shirt up.

International Baccalaureate. God, it's hard.

There is an IB-course on a gymnasium level here in town, and, well, I can't really determine why anyone would want to go there in the first case (and then half of the girls in my 9th grade class went to IB... :smallsigh:). First of all, it's not especially compatible with the Swedish educational system, which inevitably causes some problems when you proceede to the university, and all the education except the Swedish classes is in English, which in itself isn't bad, but at the time they graduate, their Swedish have actually gotten worse. No, I'll stick to my NV ("Naturvetenskap", or "Natural Science" in English) with extra English and the best English teacher in town.

Perhaps it's Roman numbers and x stands for 10.

[Dogmantra]

Or perhaps it refers to Milsy's height, ten times that of Beatrice, and at a constant height of x - y.

Teddy: Since your post seemed to indicate you want to perfect your English, "which inevitable causes some problems" ought to be "which inevitably causes some problems". You are modifying the verb "causes", which requires an adverb and the adverb ending -ly, not the adjective form.

On leather: I have the sleeveless torso of a tan, lambswool-lined leather jacket. Not enough left to refashion into a jacket per se, but maybe a Conan-esque fur vest is doable. This time, when I sew it, I will use a zigzag stitch and maybe seam tape to stabilize the old and weakening leather--the slippers (made from the sleeves of said jacket) are already falling to pieces along the seams and they're not so old even if the leather itself might be.

That and I have no interest in sewing the necessary new sheets and duvet cover, even if the guest bed needs them in two weeks or less, before the guest arrives. Straight lines are so boring. :smallyuk:

Oh, a careless misstake from my side. I wrote the "inevitable" into the text after reading it through once because I though something was missing, and I didn't notice that I made that error. Thanks, anyway.

Brotherhood is the manga. There is virtually no difference. If you prefer the manga over Brotherhood it's because of a preference of medium, not because one is better than the other.

A wooden spoon is a spoon made from wood, commonly used in food preparation...

There are some articles that just don't need to exist.

Simple English is even more riddiculous:

A wooden spoon is a spoon that can be made from wood.

Apparently they can be made from something else than wood too.

[KuReshtin]

There are some articles that just don't need to exist.

Someone should add to that article that the world's largest wooden spoon is 4.64m (15.22 ft) long, 1.07m (3.5 ft) wide and weighs 350kg (771.6lbs).

Simple English Wikipedia is even more amazing. Some quotes:


The most important and biggest Crusades happened from the 11th century to the 13th century. There were 9 big Crusades in this time. They are numbered 1 through 9.


The Pope wears a big hat called a mitre


At the end of World War II, Hitler wanted everyone to die, including himself.

So simple, and so hilarious.
