Jack Squat's Justlessly Juxtaposed Random Banter #101
The Rules.
Please Read Them!
In order to try and keep these threads from becoming unmanageable, some rules have been created, and they accent the forum rules. Please read those first.
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
:elan:Anyone found breaking the rules will be sent to stand in the corner and receive a very stern talking to! :elan:

This thread is for random discussion, not random chit chat. People have set up an unofficial IRC chat thingy for that sort of thing. Not only will you not annoy the people here, you will also help increase the popularity of the IRC chat. It's win/win/win!

So yeah...I'm in a hurry; I'll get an actual title up sometime tonight.

Re: Jack Squat's Concreatively Titled Random Banter #101
Ah now where were we? Ah yes, dreams.
Cristo - Don't want sand in them, eh? *knows why* :smallamused: :smallredface:
*ahem*
Anyway, yes, I've had a GitP themed dream. Fueled also by my having gotten the Stargate season 1 and 2 DVDs and Ark of Truth (by that point - now have Continuum as well). Myself and Mauve Shirt being pursued through the SGC by killer bees - I mean must have been Gou'ald enhanced bees or something, one-sting-and-you're-DEAD critters, not like the "real" "killer" bees - but anyway, rushing through the corridors, blast doors closing, yelling over a comm for Thor to beam us out of there before the bees got us, finally as they closed in he did...
...and then I woke up.
Odd that I remember all that, most of my dreams I don't remember, when I dream at all, which is rare.

Re: Jack Squat's Concreatively Titled Random Banter #101
Gitp-inspired dreams ? No, sadly I almost never remember my dreams. My most vivid dreams are fever dreams when I am really ill. But I'm not really looking forward to the next ones ...
I'm a bit ill at the moment, something flu-like apparently, light fever, cough and the sniffles, but not enough for dreams. If anything, it keeps me from falling asleep because I can't really breath through my nose and just roll from one side to the other the whole night. :smallannoyed:

Re: Jack Squat's Concreatively Titled Random Banter #101
Illness huh? :smallyuk: Hope you feel better Amiria. I've been home most of the day with a kid with pink eye. Hopefully I can convice him to keep doing the eye drops so I can go back to work by lunchtime tomorrow.
-
Re: Jack Squat's Concreatively Titled Random Banter #101
Aw, sorry to hear that you're sick. *makes some chicken noodle soup for the Countess*.
I know exactly how you feel, I hate that, you lay on one side and your nose stuffs up, roll over and the other side stuffs up....ew.

Re: Jack Squat's Concreatively Titled Random Banter #101
Hey, Jack? Can you remove the QUOTE tags from the first post? If not, whoever starts the next thread won't be able to quote it...
Also, get well soon, Amiria.

Hmm. No GitP dreams on my behalf though since we've been talking about them I'll probably get one tonight... my sub-conscious is the highly suggestible type.

Re: Jack Squat's Concreatively Titled Random Banter #101
*sneak attack!*
I think I vaguely remember having a GitP inspired dream...as in a dream about the forums/people on the forums, not as in a dream about OOTS (honestly, if everything but the boards got removed from this site, including the comics, I wouldn't really care all that much). But I don't remember the specifics, unfortunately...I do remember being happy about what was going on in the dream, though...

Re: Jack Squat's Concreatively Titled Random Banter #101
I once had an X-Men dream. Actually, I've had more than one, which is weird, because I don't even remember the movie very well. I could make myself invisible, my brother could turn into a purple wolf, our cousin could turn into a trash monkey (don't ask me...) and the three of us were running through a university building (khaki walls, gray carpet) trying to get to Professor X.
yeah. It was weird.
-
Re: Jack Squat's Concreatively Titled Random Banter #101
I wish I could turn into a Trash Monkey. Then I could have nice things...
-
Re: Jack Squat's Concreatively Titled Random Banter #101
My dreams vary wildly. There's the ones that can't really be discussed here, the ones that go completely surreal and strange (think RE 3's Nemesis in a tutu...), and the only one I can really remember...my one and only nightmare.
It wasn't even original, either. Look in the rearview mirror and OHMYGOD THERE SHE IS! Some reason scared the living hell out of me...
-
Re: Jack Squat's Concreatively Titled Random Banter #101
I've had Oots and Town themed dreams, do they count?
-
Re: Jack Squat's Concreatively Titled Random Banter #101
I have not dreamt in a long time...
I miss that...
-
Re: Jack Squat's Concreatively Titled Random Banter #101
Nightmare's, ugh. I had the weirdest dream... or really more of a mid-wake freakout, that my head was crushed under a mack truck.
I mean, ouch.
Shall we move onto something else, then?
-
Re: Jack Squat's Concreatively Titled Random Banter #101
I haven't had a nightmare (that I remember, at least) in years and years. The last one that I remember was when I was fairly little. All I remember of it is a short albino woman standing on a red carpet in a train, cackling. I have no idea what was so terrifying about it.
I don't really remember most of my dreams. But most of the ones I do remember, I remember vividly for a long time.

Re: Jack Squat's Concreatively Titled Random Banter #101
The only thing I remember about last night's dream was an xkcd strip that involved cake.

I have been trying to have the same dream of her for like 4 nights, and it isn't working!! I need something to help me... Like one of those special pillows, or vikadin. (I fractured my spine) :smallbiggrin::smallannoyed::smallmad:

Take shots of maple syrup and tonic water. That's always worked for me. Oh, and spreading jelly on your face before you go to sleep can't hurt.

Unless you have a hungry dog, then it might hurt...
...or you'll just end up with a really sticky face...either way

The sad part is I'm now considering that... :smallbiggrin:. Forget the pain. How to I choose what I dream? :smallannoyed:

...did someone mention cake?

I am inclined to believe that the cake has been established as a deceit.
That was not an internet Meme just now.
-
Re: Jack Squat's Concreatively Titled Random Banter #101
Yeah, it really isn't a meme unless you specifically called the cake a lie.:smallwink:
Anyways cherry cheesecake is my favourite kind.
-
Re: Jack Squat's Justlessly Juxtaposed Random Banter #101
My favorite cake is Boston Creme Pie, which I just finished off.
Also, (bad) title now in place and quote tags removed.
-
Re: Jack Squat's Justlessly Juxtaposed Random Banter #101
I wonder why that specific line was what got Memefied? Why not:
"Did you know, you can donate one, or all of your vital organs to the Aperture Science Self-Esteem Center For Girls? It's true!" Unlike the cake!

I'm guessing it was that line because it was easier. Example:
"Blablabla.... random chatting, blablabla, so I had some cake today..."
"THE CAKE IS A LIE!!!!" *people stare at him* "Eh.... nothing."

Re: Jack Squat's Justlessly Juxtaposed Random Banter #101
I'm actually not a huge cake fan. I prefer pie. Mmmm...pumpkin pie...
I love most traditional Thanksgiving food, actually. Turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, applesauce, pumpkin pie, corn, etc.
-
Re: Jack Squat's Justlessly Juxtaposed Random Banter #101
Mmm...pie. I had some key lime pie a couple days ago, and it was yummy! Cake would be good too. I've been wanting more sweet stuff than usual...it's kinda wierd. :smalltongue:

Thanksgiving food good, and Thanks giving food fine, but... you.. don't like creamed corn do you...? :smalleek:
And Pumpkin pie FTW, My grandma made the best I've ever tasted before she passed :smallsmile:.
-
Re: Jack Squat's Justlessly Juxtaposed Random Banter #101
hmm...I think my favorite pie is either Key Lime or Chocolate Creme.
Although on the whole, I prefer brownies to cake or pie.
-
Re: Jack Squat's Justlessly Juxtaposed Random Banter #101
I like Strawberry Pie the most, closely followed by Chocolate Pie. But cake is good, too. And so's Pecan Pie with Ice Cream.....
Mmmm..... Ice cream....
-
Re: Jack Squat's Justlessly Juxtaposed Random Banter #101
I hate you all...
brownies, cake, pie...

Re: Jack Squat's Justlessly Juxtaposed Random Banter #101
Dude I made this awesome cake recently. I decided I wanted to do something interesting instead of boring old cake, and I'd always been a fan of the combination of chocolate and orange flavors, so I decided to do it with cake. I made chocolate cake then added the juice of a lemon to the batter. Once it was done baking I spread dark chocolate frosting mixed with the zest of about 3 or 4 oranges onto it, then had an orange slice garnish on top of it. Dude, it was awesome.

I haven't had mashed potatoes in a while.
I used to like mixing them together with my stuffing and corn as leftovers. And putting it on bread to make a sammich.
Death by carbs?
I think so.

Re: Jack Squat's Justlessly Juxtaposed Random Banter #101
The only form of potatoes I really like are breakfast style home fries.

Re: Jack Squat's Justlessly Juxtaposed Random Banter #101
I had a potato today for lunch. Baked. With stuff on it.
It was gewd, but I'd better not get used to eating that sort of thing every day....<.<
-
Re: Jack Squat's Justlessly Juxtaposed Random Banter #101
Well if you minus the "stuff" it's pretty healthy. Way better than eating deepfried fries.

Short women can be pretty scary. *gets attacked by his girlfriend*

In my very humble opinion, meat has no place in pies, unless its a pot pie.
Mmm, turkey pot pie.

I've never had a meat pie, but I've been a little skeptical of them ever since I saw Sweeny Todd. The musical, not the movie (I haven't seen the latter).

You are about to be attacked by the entirety of Australia. Srsly. Meat pies = taysteh, and a staple of my diet, for lunch and dinner.
I think the only sweet pies I've had are apple and berry ones, that sort of thing. And custard tarts, if you include that. And creme brulee tart... Mmmmm. I'd like to try pumpkin pie sometime. I'm surprisingly fussy about my desserts... It annoys me how they keep spoiling perfectly good cakes by slathering them with jam. That said, though, black forest cake is good. I also made a really really tasty (if raw in the middle) orange and poppyseed cake, once, with homegrown poppy seeds and freshly squeezed orange juice. Actually, I think I might have the stuff to do it again, though the seeds aren't home grown... There's also the extra-special mudcake, the recipe of which I've already posted on here somewhere. I can't remember it all, but it's something along the lines of half a kg of chocolate, 6 eggs, 125g (or was it 250g?) of butter, and 1/4 cup flour. It's awesome. Right, this topic has me resolved: This afternoon after work, I'm gonna start this recipe thread I've been meaning to for a while.

Re: Jack Squat's Justlessly Juxtaposed Random Banter #101

Today I met my ex's boyfriend. It was a bit awkward and I would have preferred not to have met him. That's the con part of working at a Blockbuster, I guess. They could have rented anywhere else, though. :smallyuk:
