Recaiden's Resplendent and Rotating Realistic Random Banter #136

[Moff Chumley]

I don't remember. You can keep going if you like. Just don't expect much retaliation.

That's no fun. Oh well, I guess I'll find someone else to argue with about dairy.

*sniffle* I feel all lonely already....

[DraPrime]

I'll argue. Just tell me what viewpoint I'm countering, and I'll be ready to go.

[Dragonrider]

It could be worse. We could both be of the same gender, and have similar avatars. That would make this complete hell. At least you can tell who someone is referring to if they say "he" or "she". And that steak is rather different from your avvie.

A good point. Very good.

Happens to me, although I have a very distinctive last name that always end up as a nickname. That name is....

Biedrzycki

So yeah, various mispronunciations of it are the name people use for me. Berjitski, Berninski, Berdrooski, and many others are what I get called by. It's rather annoying.

Yeesh.

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.

...Yeah.

[Cobra_Ikari]

heh, yeah. *huggles*


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...

*huggle of sanity-protection, awful flirting in attempted Italian* >.>

I don't like people screwing with my thing placement, either. Something always gets broken or lost. >.<

...Yeah.

Well now I'm just curious about your name. Six letters, and only a y as a pseudo-vowel? That's just...damn interesting.

[Perenelle]

I dont speak Italian, but awww. *huggles*

yeah, mostly lost in my case though.

[Gullara]

Okay, your art style might be a little too close.

*shrugs* I suppose it is, but it is and "order of the stick" style comic and the art isn't really the point, the story is.

[Thufir]

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)

[Player_Zero]

I think I'm having a hate-attack. A sudden onset of generalised loathing for all things. Quite specifically people.

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.

[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...

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

Also, curse that Facebook!

[randman22222]

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

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

[Recaiden]

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

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

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

[Recaiden]

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.

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!
