Taet's Acrostic: Everyone's Tuned into Random Banter #195

[Taet]

The Previous Random Banter can be found here. Enough new music to sample for days came from AllIHaveIsCrunk here within the last random banter. If you want to talk but don't know what to say, just listen to a song instead and talk to us about it.

How To Random Banter:
Rules of the Random Banter Thread

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.

[MoonCat]

Oh, we got a new one?

[Dimonite]

*Gavotte*
Psst! you should post a link in the old thread!

Or maybe you'll take care of that whilst I'm blabbing on.
You seem to have done a fine job setting this up. Huzzah!

From last thread:

Ouch.

Meh. It's no big deal. Like when this girl was having trouble with fake-hitting me for a play, I told her to just hit me for real. It saves time, and I'm not fragile - I can handle it, and honestly people never hurt me that much to begin with.

Sushi or hibachi?

Umm... the latter, I think. I didn't ask questions. My sister took me to a Japanese restaurant, and told me not to try to have anything too spicy. So I naturally asked for the spiciest thing they had. All I recall of the dish itself was that it contained meat.

Ah, siblings. Delicious.

I do so love them. And I'm the first to admit that my brother deserved that shot at me for earlier that day when I threw a spider at his face as a prank.

... Good times.

Some form of yakisoba noodle type dish then?

I don't really recall. There was meat, there was spice, and then there was forcible and premature removal of the meat and spice.

[Coidzor]

Less that, and more 'MoonCat gets twitchy when people are nice to her.'

Hopefully you'll get over that either before or around the same time you get a boyfriend and/or girlfriend.

I always wonder why other people don't ask questions. Well, I guess that explains the intestinal distress then.

Nah, that's what headbutting is for.



No noodles then. Hm. Sillybutt.

[Amidus Drexel]

*"dances"*

It's nice, but not essential, after all. Nice for a bard who picks up obtain familiar though, though it's also less able to double up on skill checks with that kinda bod.

Hmmm.... I'll have to check those videos out in a moment.

I suppose, but that's hard work. I prefer to just get right to it, though, I'll admit.

Indeed. I'd rather stick it on something besides a bard, though. What a silly class. The perform rules are a bit silly, and the amount of gold you get for playing in a city is laughably high when you convert it to modern currency.

It's just the albums; the video part is optional.

Look, which is more rewarding? Hitting someone in the head with a golfball from the other side of a soccer field, or hitting them with a basketball from up close?

Oh my~

The more you know.

I can't resist.

So you would think, but I find the knowledge crowds out more important things, like memory.

[LaZodiac]

<chokes> hag slag???

Bah!

I was making a joke, since I don't know what it is at all! Tell me about the cool chocolate

[TaiLiu]

FinnLassie, duh!

No, I was speaking of this mysterious Jake fellow.

Haha, nope!

Nn! A picture of a rice bowl!

Less that, and more 'MoonCat gets twitchy when people are nice to her.'

I'll... I'll try to be mean to you...?

[LaZodiac]

I'll... I'll try to be mean to you...?

Don't worry Tai, Moony's always been a bit Yandere.

[TaiLiu]

Don't worry Tai, Moony's always been a bit Yandere.

...Wikitionary is saying that the word means both gentle and psychotic at the same time.

[MoonCat]

Hopefully you'll get over that either before or around the same time you get a boyfriend and/or girlfriend.

Eh, I won't date.

I was making a joke, since I don't know what it is at all! Tell me about the cool chocolate

And now you never will!

No, I was speaking of this mysterious Jake fellow.

Nn! A picture of a rice bowl!

I'll... I'll try to be mean to you...?

Hehe.

What?

Noooo!

Don't worry Tai, Moony's always been a bit Yandere.

Yandere? How the **** am I yandere?

[Amidus Drexel]

...Wikitionary is saying that the word means both gentle and psychotic at the same time.

Hehe.
What?
Noooo!

Yandere? How the **** am I yandere?

Sounds about right.

[Taet]

It's strange, enderlord. I had heard the "a moose once bit my sister" line a lot but never heard the following line. Nobody paid attention to Monty Python while watching it. They were too busy quoting other lines out of order to listen.

Amidus Drexel. How wise you are. The more you know, the less you remember. Yes. May I add something else. The more you know about people, the less you know about anything else. And even then, it's hard to understand how gentle and psychotic go together at the same time. Unless those two meant gentle at some times and psychotic at others. That I can understand.

[LaZodiac]

...Wikitionary is saying that the word means both gentle and psychotic at the same time.

Yha. I may be joking.

And now you never will!

Yandere? How the **** am I yandere?

Awe, what if I ask nicely =3?

I'm just joking. A little

[TaiLiu]

Eh, I won't date.

That's right. Who needs dating, anyway?

Hehe.

You're keeping it a mystery, I see.

What?

A picture of a rice bowl! It's a bowl filled with rice.

Noooo!

I'll be nice to you...? (I'm so confused...)

[Amidus Drexel]

Amidus Drexel. How wise you are.

The more you know, the less you remember. Yes. May I add something else. The more you know about people, the less you know about anything else. And even then, it's hard to understand how gentle and psychotic go together at the same time. Unless those two meant gentle at some times and psychotic at others. That I can understand.

Heh, first time those words have been uttered, ever. Wise is not a word I'd use to describe me, not by a long shot.

More that what you can remember at once is a smaller fraction of your total knowledge, because you know more, but indeed.

I don't know if I'd agree with that one. I can say, having interacted with a wide variety of people, that knowing many things about them has not precluded me from memorizing huge swaths of other, less useful, information. I'm going to end up at philosophy if we keep this particular bit going. Not objecting, just warning you.

From what I understand, it's more of sometimes this, sometimes that rather than both at the same time.

[Coidzor]

Don't worry Tai, Moony's always been a bit Yandere.

Tsunyannyandere.

No, I was speaking of this mysterious Jake fellow.

Adventure Time!

That's right. Who needs dating, anyway?

Most of us.

[Mynxae]

That's right. Who needs dating, anyway?

What, so I can't date Nibbles? Unfair! I challenge thee to a duel!

[Coidzor]

What, so I can't date Nibbles? Unfair! I challenge thee to a duel!

Oh? How scandalous! Delicious!

Eh, I won't date.

Yandere? How the **** am I yandere?

Hmm. *scribble, scribble* Great, I'm going to have to throw out, like, half of my notes.

Well, I suppose you're not very dere... Maybe more tsunyan? nyansun?

*"dances"*

*double dances*

Hey now, don't you be knocking Dragonforce, the 5-kobold band. Usually bards are too feat-starved for familiars though, aye. And gishes too, which is too bad since they'd have the HP for an almost survivable familiar.

Ah...

Well, if I have to be using balls, I suppose it's the golfball, since I can get a lot more golfballs in before they have a chance to properly flee or retaliate. I just don't have much love for balls as weapons after, well.... Wakka... :/

Mmm....~

ALL OF THE KNOWLEDGE.

...Wikitionary is saying that the word means both gentle and psychotic at the same time.

What, you don't see it?

Amidus Drexel. How wise you are. The more you know, the less you remember. Yes. May I add something else. The more you know about people, the less you know about anything else. And even then, it's hard to understand how gentle and psychotic go together at the same time. Unless those two meant gentle at some times and psychotic at others. That I can understand.

Sort of a switch-on, switch-off sort of thing. At the drop of a hat? Hair trigger?

[Rawhide]

it's hard to understand how gentle and psychotic go together at the same time

One word: Cats.

[FinnLassie]

I knew Taet would make the new one! All hail the new thread!

[Coidzor]

One word: Cats.

Oh snap. So true though. So very, very true. Nothing like a happy, sleepy cat shredding up your tummy with its kneading, kneading claws.

I knew Taet would make the new one! All hail the new thread!

It was pretty tight there for a moment though.

[Mynxae]

...I take it you've broken up with the board-game, then?

I broke up with him a few months ago...

[Taet]

Cats. Yes. Cats flip back and forth quicker than the eye can follow. Or the other nerves. You have scars too? But they still don't do both at the same time.

Goodnight. Date all you like but please don't date and dance and listen to the music. I don't want to wake up to a musical.

[Teddy]

I'm always a bit worried when someone with a forum name starting with the same letter as mine creates a new Random Banter thread, because I'm afraid they'll steal all the good allitterations I have in mind for my next one. It hasn't happened yet, however. I suppose there simply are many more words starting with a 't' than I realise...

Also, I like the witty title.

I know, but I tend to stay in doors. I'm an introveeeert *curls into a ball*

You know, introvert means that you're turned toward the inside of yourself, not the house.

I mean, I go outside because I'm an introvert. So much easier to get away from people that way...

Ah, okay. Sounds impressive though!

Yeah, it kind of is...

Um, nightless night is the time of the year the sun doesn't set or sets only for a brief moment. Do you have another term for it? [...]

The "no sunset" is generally called "midnight sun", and the term for "no darkness" is "white night", apparently.

We call it Midnight Sun, and we have it for weeks on end [...]

Yeah, by now I'm pretty sure that what you refer to as "midnight sun" is actually white nights. There's no way you could possibly have the sun up continually for weeks unless you live in a tower higher than Mount Everest or there happens to be a second Yellowknife which Wikipedia knows nothing about...

Hrm... as a purely aesthetic question; as a familiar, which animal do you prefer, thread?

Probably a hawk, even though they look a bit more ferocious than I do. Ravens are cool, but a smidgen too grim for my attire, and I'm way too much into birds to go for anything land-living. I suppose the acclaimed wisdom of an owl could fit neatly into my "brain over brawn" thing, though, but I don't really know...

...right, right XP

I am calling it what we officially call it. Yellowknife is referred to as "the land of the midnight sun" and I just stayed up till 2 last night and I can confirm that the sun never fully set. If you didn't know better, you'd go outside wondering where everyone went on such a nice day.

Ok, fine, let's settle this once and for all.

Last night I went out at midnight and took some pictures of the sky. When I did, I got extremely jealous of Inuvik. Why? Because although Yellowknife is in the land of the midnight sun and we market that, we don’t actually have a midnight sun. It does go below the horizon, ever so slightly. The reason I’m jealous of Inuvik is because they really have a midnight sun – see picture below. Some would say I’m crazy for saying that, but from my perspective, if we are going to claim something, we should at least make sure it is true.

I always wonder why other people don't ask questions. Well, I guess that explains the intestinal distress then.

Because I didn't know enough about Japanese food to understand the answers anyway. Or even know the right questions to ask.
The weird thing is, spicy food doesn't normally cause me any intestinal distress whatsoever. This was the exception.

Nah, that's what headbutting is for.

Well, the problem with him headbutting me is that I'm a lot harder than he is, and - as Sancho says - "Whether the stone hits the pitcher or the pitcher hits the stone, it's going to be bad for the pitcher."

No noodles then. Hm. Sillybutt.

Should I have had noodles?

That's right. Who needs dating, anyway?

Not I! Because reasons.

Hey now, don't you be knocking Dragonforce, the 5-kobold band. Usually bards are too feat-starved for familiars though, aye. And gishes too, which is too bad since they'd have the HP for an almost survivable familiar.

Well, if I have to be using balls, I suppose it's the golfball, since I can get a lot more golfballs in before they have a chance to properly flee or retaliate. I just don't have much love for balls as weapons after, well.... Wakka... :/

Dragonforce is alright, but I prefer my power metal where the band is actually capable of playing their parts without recording tricks.

So, no throwing planets at people, I take it?

Ok, fine, let's settle this once and for all.

Okay. I will note that there IS a period where the sun doesn't set at all (which is the time this guy is talking about, though I don't think we do Raven Mad Daze anymore). I still think "land of the midnight sun" is completely justifiable a term, though.

Over here, we have a midday sun.

Does that count?
