Lilly's Lovely Random Banter #87
The Rules. You! Read these!
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 should be spam everywhere. Likewise, posts that are nothing but *actions like this* should also be considered spam. Quality of content trumps speed of response.
2. Ditch the "competition for control of the universe". It has ceased to be funny, and often branches out into little mock battles that fall into the spam definition laid out above. We've got a PbP section for fights, and even the Town has an arena, I believe.
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.
4. Stop advertising 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 stop with 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. Do not 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. No asking "What's the topic" or the ilk. This is *not* a conversation where you could've missed the begining, it's a forum where the current topic is nicely recorded for you. So 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
:miko:Anyone found breaking the rules will be sent to stand in the corner and receive a very stern talking to! :miko:
Previous Threads:
(We all have too much spare time)
This thread is for random discussion, not random chit chat. There is an IRC chat thingy set up 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!
And now for something completely different, A NEW THREAD!!!

Re: Lilly's Lovely Random Banter #87
Aaaah, alliteration. So sublime, so....special, in it's irritating way, wot wot.
Also, boogie, blah. We need more tapdancing.

Re: Lilly's Lovely Random Banter #87
Though I am not normally a Banterite, the following thought entered my head - and this seemed the place to say it:
Ego, that's the coolest gender ever. I wish my gender was a Chord.
Re: Lilly's Lovely Random Banter #87
No...tap-dancing has the opposite effect of the Boogie. While the Boogie blesses the thread and assures its prosperity, the tap-dance curses it and condemns it to rot at the bottom of Friendly Banter.
Tap dance enough, and you could bring the accursed bug back down on us, after it being absent for nearly 8 months! Do you want that? Do you?
@^: Not just any chord, but a minor 7th. Such a smooth, jazzy gender.
Re: Lilly's Lovely Random Banter #87
Woohoo!! New thread!!! Now let's start bombing this place
*Takes out a brand new box filled with C4*
Re: Lilly's Lovely Random Banter #87
*tries to discourage people from filling the first page with posts celebrating the new thread*
You know, technically, we have forbidden posts that do nothing more than say something like "First Page!"
Re: Lilly's Lovely Random Banter #87
C4? Aww, you sunk my battle ship! (Big meanie.)
Ah, a shiny new RB thread. (Yes, I said that just to tweak @^'s chain a bit.)

Well, there are only a few like that, well *checks book* achording to this text anyway, but they may be singing a different tune tomorrow.

C4? Bingo! Do I win a prize? Possibly a battleship? I could do with one of those.
(I'm aware there is no C4 in Bingo...)
Re: Lilly's Lovely Random Banter #87
Fine, I'll wait until page 2 next time.:smallamused:
C'mon, we've always done it! >.>
Mandible, thanks. =P I <3 that chord. 7ths are nice.

Uh, hello, left AMEN because they weren't evil enough? Of COURSE I want that.
Also, tapdancing gives me an excuse to wear a top hat and pinstripes. Now an excuse for monocles and pocketwatches...
and swordcanes...
Re: Lilly's Lovely Random Banter #87
Yes, you can have my battleship. It's sunk. You'll have to retreive it from the deep. PM me for coordinates. Please enclose $3.99 for shipping and handling.
Also, speaking of chords, is anyone here familiar with the Flight of the Conchords? They are amazingly funny.

Re: Lilly's Lovely Random Banter #87
FotC are awesome! *runs off to teh youtubz*
I love this one.
Re: Lilly's Lovely Random Banter #87
They are comedy, New Zealand, and a duo. Three out of five of my main weaknesses. Never. Never, ever, ever. Blast you, Ego!

Coordinates? Duh, it's at C4, obviously. I'll keep my $3.99 (~$4.20 CAN), thank you.
Re: Lilly's Lovely Random Banter #87
Why are we buying the broken husks of destroyed battleships? And can I have one?
Re: Lilly's Lovely Random Banter #87
I only had the one battleship, but I have a half-destroyed aircraft carrier you can get for a song (Lilac Wine, specifically).
FotC has a show on HBO that's quite good. It's a like a quirky musical sitcom made out of videos of their songs. It's all on YouTube. I'm too lazy to link them. There's about 7 eps worth so far.

If you can dive and get your pieces (at the right coordinates, of course), I guess you can have them...
Re: Lilly's Lovely Random Banter #87
Re: Lilly's Lovely Random Banter #87
Heh. That's been around for a while, hasn't it?
Question: has anyone else noticed on the actual Simpson's intro that there's no blue on the school flag (as you zoom in, when Bart comes out there is) to the point that I think it's a Canadian flag and not American, and it's only American coming out?
Here. Pause it at 10s in.
Re: Lilly's Lovely Random Banter #87
Rawhide, in response to your last post in the last thread, my mind wiped all my memory of the events of April 1st, so as to keep myself from having to picture you as Kaylee. :smallwink:
ZRS, isn't this going a bit far with your love of Canada? I mean, I can understand national pride and all, but, sheesh. :smalltongue:

Heh. But consider that this comes after 17 years of watching that intro again and again and again and I've only noticed it recently. So I think I'm excused in this. :smallamused:

Re: Lilly's Lovely Random Banter #87
17 years? So, you've been watching The Simpsons since you were.. what, 4? :smallamused: I'm surprised.
Edit: Hmm, I could've sworn you stole Lilly's avatar at first, then switched. Bah. I told you my mind wiped my memory of April 1.
Re: Lilly's Lovely Random Banter #87
Possibly an exaggeration, but I think I've been watching since the 2nd or 3rd season, so more like 15 or 16 years. Whatever.
