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.

And here, linked for your convenience, are the previous incarnations of this thread.

Wooh! I got the new thread!

So, let the bantering pick up again where it was left off.

OMG NEW THREAD!
*Puts up a new tent*
*makes a new fire*

*Builds a log cabin next door to Nameless's tent* :smalltongue:

That Shadow Elf omitted the 'Elf' part of his name from the title confused me. I was all, "What?! Shadow made the new RB?"

@Cobra: Thread blessing has not happened for a while now.

Who is there besides Jibar? :smallconfused: Koorly?

And did you check that sleeping bag for snakes? You can't be too careful, I hear there are cobras around here.

Anyway, they're right that it's a good thing. Knowing always is.

People often abbreviate it to Shadow, and I had quite the alliteration chain going on, so I figured I'd leave off the "Elf" part.

Also, *Builds a house with a nice shady dungeon next to Perenelle's Log Cabin*

Cookie for the hungry elf? :smallbiggrin:

^_^ *passes out s'mores and marshmallows*

And since Jibar and Ego Aren't around to do it anymore...

*boogies*

*sets up a yurt using dragon hide and bone within the campground area*

So why are we erecting living facilities?

Also, sourdough toast is good. But I wonder how sourdough garlic bread would be.

Such a thing would have to be delicious. And we'll be here for a while. Maybe.

Get a round loaf of sourdough. Cut it out, and fill it with some sort of chowder, then eat.

We need to set up shop before we can do that, of course.

The first page or so seems to have been enough, since now we're doing exactly that. Bantering.

If this happened in days of yore, I'm pretty sure Rawhide would end up deleting a bunch of your posts here.
The way to do it is to mix the banter with the other stuff.

Incidentally, my classical music season has started again. First rehearsal of Handel's Theodora today.

after attempting to make sourdough bread in my old lifeskills class, I'm sot sure if I have to stomach to eat it anymore. :smalltongue:
Our attempt to make it failed and resulted In moldy dough that the teacher forced us to smell. scary times...

Hmm, I'm going back to college tomorrow and it's late. I better get some sleep.
'Night all. *huggles and snuggles*

Make my own bread?

*cutaway to mushroom cloud*

...that's a bad idea. >.>

I... intended to try making my own bread a while back. There're instructions in my diary. I completely forgot about it.
Should try that sometime.

We have a bread machine, and mom works in a European type bakery. We are never out of bread. Ever. And all of it is delicious.

mmm, bread. I often wonder if whole grain and sourdough can be combined successfully...

lucky! :smallsmile: I lovee bread. and pasta. and everything else of that nature.

We have a bread machine and only used it twice. I wonder where it is now... :smallfrown: I feel like some bread.

I've made yeast bread a few times. It's a bit more trouble than quickbread, but it's also very tasty. It's been worth the effort every time.

We use our bread machine every few days. :smallredface: We use a lot of bread. It needs to be held down to work, but it's great. Except for that one loaf of pumpkin bread.

Speaking of bread, I just had the most wonderful sandwich on a loaf of baguette. I spread garlicky sauce on it, then I interlaced roast beef and barbecued chicken on it and topped it with ripped lettuce. It was highly delicious, and I ate it so voraciously that I think I may have damaged by upper palate.

Pasta is my favourite. I do not get it nearly as often as I would like, which isn't really surprising, given that I would like it at least three times a week.

The only other necessary thing is to make sure you don't keep them in the same bowl. Then you have sticky friends and melted ice cream.

To continue this conversation unnecessarily. That is not an otter, that is (was) a sea-weasel. Use the correct term.

Otters are related to weasels, to some degree, but otter is more specific than sea-weasel.

Cobra sees animals as being on two scales. One is labeled Cute and Ugly, the other Delicious and Icky.

Otters are Cute and of unknown deliciosity. Same with sea weasels.

Cobra used to know a man who theorized that cuteness and deliciousness were correlated, but he was kinda crazy. Wanted to makea petting zoo/restaurant. And mount a water cannon on the roof to shoot at activists. >.>

I say sea-weasel, but it is really either a sea-wizzle or a sea-woozle, however I cannot be certain which. In lieu of that I shall stick with sea-weasel.

John Williams is a pretty cool guy.

There is no correlation, Cobra.

Bunnies: tasty
Snails: tasty

Ducklings: not tasty (too bony)
Tape worms: not tasty

Great. Now I wish I had real chili instead of skyline chili for making chili dogs with.

*shakes fist at Cobra* ...Though that is really wiggy how the icecream made me think of how horrible icecream is for satisfying hunger compared to hot, delicious meat.

that would be very strange... its like you're eating your delicious meal and all of a sudden an alpaca walks up to you and spits all over the place. or a bunny hops up onto your table... thats rather unsanitary. :smallannoyed:

Given that the weighted companion cube is essentially identical to the weighted storage cube, I've always figured it was hollow. Y'know, for storage. Of my heart!
