Zaydos's Zany Zooetic Random Banter - RB #159

[Zaydos]

Enter and make yourselves at home. You see an old, ramshackle building. Its old, wooden windows hang as if ready to fall, and the door, once a powerful one of strong oak wood, now stands on a single hinge. Entering you see a room lined with the stuffed bodies of predatory animals: an erect polar bear; a roaring lion; a tiger that looks poised to pounce; a hungry crocodile; and hanging over head a prehistoric shark. Opening one door you find a room full of great, glass vials inside each of which something is growing. Opening another you see a library that stretches into infinity, and then you hear a scream. This is the 159th Random Banter thread and let’s make this another good one

Rule List
They will be obeyed

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.

They are legion.

Yes, but it was the very first post on page 50. We could have given it some time to naturally conclude.

Resolution? What's that? I think Hollywood should look it up whatever it is.

Wow, shower+clean pyjamas+clean bed combination feels so good.

Ork: "Finish? Wots dat?"

[Fifty-Eyed Fred]

Ah, the mercenary nature of creating RB threads...

*Boogies*

[LaZodiac]

Zaydos, concerning manga rants, really just name a series and if I've read it there is a rant involved. My favorite subject is probably Jojo's Bizarre Adventure (of which I read the opening chapter of the newest part of two days ago, woo hoo!)

[Zaydos]

First: the only finish I've seen in these threads is usually one of wondering who has called dibs on making the next one.

@LaZodiac: What series have you read?

[LaZodiac]

Gash Bell, all of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, almost all of Kinnikuman, some of Kinnikuman Nessai, Gamble Fish, everything of One Piece, Naruto, Toriko, and Fairy Tail. Rave Master. Bobobo-bo bo-bobo. Gantz, Battle Royale, whatever's out of Beelzebub, Liar Game, up to the suicune buisness in Pokemon Special, as much as Dr Slump as I can, and Yuyu Hakusho. Also Fist of the North Star, up to the time skip. Oh, and a lot of Black Jack, and some of Say Hello To Black Jack and Team Medical Dragon.

Maybe more, I forget.

Princess Ressurection?

That there's a good series. Especially if you want to test how much absurdity is too much for you.

[Zaydos]

Of those I've read Gamble Fish (better before it became harem obsessed), Liar Game (why hasn't it updated in almost a year), a little of Beelzebub, a little One Piece/Naruto/Bleach, and a little Princess Resurrection, and all of Yu Yu Hakusho. Plus all the Pokemon Special I've been able to find.

Manga I've read: I can't remember; a lot of them have only a few chapters I could find.

[Tragic_Comedian]

The only manga I ever read was Shonen Jump back in my elementary school days. And Fullmetal Alchemist, for a while.

Also: My facial hair grows faster on one side than the other, leading to uneven sideburns.

Shonen Jump is not a manga. It's an anthology and child-company of Sheusiha publishing.

Don't mess with an Otaku.

It's not a petty distinction actually, it's a real significant difference considering the amount of manga that has gone through that magazine.

With "I read shonnen jump" you could mean from I read the firs few Ch. of Negima to I read Kuro****suji.

[Zaydos]

I need to find where I put my Shonen Jump with a Bakuman cover.

Manga I've read that I can think of at the moment: Bakuman, History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi, Death Note, Pokemon Special, Liar Game, Duel Masters (only 4 volumes), Kurohime, Highschool of the Dead, Berserk, Record of the Fallen Vampire, Kurosagi, The Black Buttler (since it's Japanese name is censored), Soul Eater, Soul Eater Not, Cage of Eden, D-Gray Man, Rosario to Vampire, Gamble Fish, Full Metal Alchemist, Cavalier of the Abyss...

you know what I've read too many.

[Skavensrule]

Rosario+Vampire is a pretty good Manga.

(Inquery) Is 50 pages the limit for a thread? Still fairly new to this forum although I've been reading the comic for years.

Well, there was Dragon Ball Z, One Piece, Death Note, Shaman King... 'Bout all I remember, really. Death Note was by far the best.

Not exactly. It can go over 50, but the mods kindly ask everyone to report the thread and create a new one at 50 pages since any more begin to hurt the server.

[AtlanteanTroll]

Death Note never actually ran in American Jump.

[Tragic_Comedian]

Death Note never actually ran in American Jump.

Are you sure? I remember reading it in there. I mean, I suppose I could've read it somewhere else and just subconsciously put it in Jump, but I would've sworn...

[Eruantion]

Resolution? What's that? I think Hollywood should look it up whatever it is.

Ah, the mercenary nature of creating RB threads...

*Boogies*

Hey, Zaydos saw an opportunity and took it. At least we got through this one with only one thread being created

Also, LaLa's thread went really fast all of a sudden..

anyway, *boogies*

[AsteriskAmp]

Death Note never actually ran in American Jump.

It did run in the Japanese Shonen Jump, were it was first serialized.

[AtlanteanTroll]

Are you sure? I remember reading it in there. I mean, I suppose I could've read it somewhere else and just subconsciously put it in Jump, but I would've sworn...

Well, they did a chapter or two as previews, but never as a serial.

Reckon I read those an' read the rest somewhere else then. M'memory's still a bit foggy on the subject, though.
