Mutant Sheep's Post-Septaquintaquinquecentennial ApRiL fOoLs Random Banter #176

[Mutant Sheep]

Welcome, currently ponified banterites, to the 176th Random Banter! Come in, lay your hooves on the expensive furniture, and banter away like the newest edition of The Foal Free Press came out.

The Previous Random Banter, the Septaquintaquinquecentennial Banter itself, was held here.
Rules of these Honorable Halls

Spoiler

Show

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.

15. If you can avoid dibs calling on making the next thread, that will avoid people needing to wait if the thread hits 50 pages while the dibs-caller is asleep.

Random Banters that have been held previously, all without being held on a Pony Day.

Oh boy, I almost forgot my Random Banter of April Fools Day Thread Stealing. Who did I steal it from?

Oh boy, I amlsot forgot my Random Banter of April Fools Day Thread Stealing.

*gasps* Attempted RB burglary! From a Stablemaster slavedriver! (ARE there stables in Equestria? Those be some ... implications.)

[Rawhide]

You going to post a link on the old thread so I can close it?

[Teddy]

All your points are completely understandable and a coincede. For now

Don't worry, I'll come through eventually. My Easter break is two weeks, and there aren't that many MLP episodes for me to catch up on.

I just did if that works. Congrats on an awesome April Fools by the way.

Yay, Gwyn's talking to me again! (You werent ignoring me, at least, I hope not, but the lack of interaction between you 'n me made me worried my constant name calling got to you or something. If it did, you woulda handed over your Mutant Sheep thinks you're a cool punk badge.)

And now, to watch Robert Downey Jr. do silly things! And punch people!

Well yes, he specificly mentioned this last thread or early in this one. Don't lose your head over it, though

No, I just don't post generally unless I have something very specific to add that hasn't been already said.

Bloody corny.

[Eruantion]

Mutant Sheep, is there any clown-based reference in the ApRiL fOoLs part of the title? Or am I getting excited over a coincidence?

Oooh, new thread! And ponies! =D

Ah. Well, stop doing that and post nonsense like the rest of us.


Sherlock Holmes was a cool movie. A bit confusing, the ending explained most of the weird things though. I knew that the rain was weird, so I was all "haha!" when Holmes explained the spontaneous combustion thing. Ending had a very Batman Begins vibe to it, but since instead of it just being "boom, calling card of Joker" we had Moriarty already do things in the movie. Anyways, it was funny and the naked Holmes handcuffed to a bed scene was just as completely strange as I thought it was when I saw the ads.


August, that's actually a really cool layout and I want it combined with my poniness. Its all pseudo 3D and stuff.

I love that movie. Dr. Watson is a bonafide badass in it. I always disliked how he was portrayed as this fat incompetent bumbler in other movie adaptations.

Was that a fix? I call it an enhancement.

If I have interpreted you correctly (I have), I think you deserve a special place in my catalogue of awesome people.

Me not already being in this catalogue of fantabulous people confuses me.


Too bad the 1st is on a Sunday. School would be hell of course, but FUN hell.


Edit: Haha, Youtube, you have April'd me! Now all I have to do is get $557,024 and wait until June 16th, 2045. I shall have ALL the youtube (that I want, anyone daring enough to get it all?)

[Crisis21]

Too bad the 1st is on a Sunday. School would be hell of course, but FUN hell.

I think my college is nutty enough as it is without the extra help.

[Elemental]

Indeed. It is the first of April...
Too bad I'm both terrible at coming up with pranks and too nice to implement them.
Oh well...
I'll just sneak hidden messages in white text into all my posts.
I'm being held captive inside the Internet! If you are reading this, contact the FBI! Help!

Edit: Hopefully I'll get the words right next time.

I'll be content with slowly fixing that which drives me mad progressively through the use of browser extensions and a hell lot of dreamweaver.

LaLa, I'm mostly sore from the extended period of shoveling; it took a couple hours before I felt noticeably fatigued, and I kept going after that. I don't recall you mentioning shoveling for 5 hours at a time. Also, I'm not sure, but I suspect a shovel-full of dirt is more dense than one of non-melting snow.

Yha, I haven't shoveled for 5 hours in a row, but I'm aaaaalmost sure that snow is heavier then dirt, depending on when you're shoveling and where.
