Jibar's Random Banter #137: Return of the Cat-Muffin
Random Banter
Rules
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.

Re: Jibar's Random Banter #137: Return of the Cat-Muffin
*boogies*
You, Jibar, are special. And going to the -special- hell too, if Book is anything to go by. Gah preposition fail!
Why does my body persist in believing that it must wake up at 5:30 A.M.? It's been doing this for two weeks now, regardless of when I go to bed and whether I have class or not. :smallsigh:
Well, at least I don't have to worry about sleeping through my day off! Now, what to do with it...
Re: Jibar's Random Banter #137: Return of the Cat-Muffin
*EGGY!*
#137? Dang that's a lot of jabbering under the bridge. About 67,000 posts worth...
unrelated: the Royal Mail are a bunch of workshy post-fondling trade unionists who need to die in a ditch and clear the way for people who actually want to do the job. They are delaying my pre-order copy of The Dungeon Alphabet and this will not be tolerated.
Royal Mail delenda est! :smallannoyed:
Re: Jibar's Random Banter #137: Return of the Cat-Muffin
Ooh. Good start to the morning, I wake up to find a new Random Banter thread. :smallbiggrin:
the name of the thread sounds like the name of a sequel to a movie.
Now Presenting;
JIBAR'S RANDOM BANTER #137:
Return of the Cat-Muffin
*dramatic music*
Re: Jibar's Random Banter #137: Return of the Cat-Muffin
Eggeh!
It's almost 4 years since RB began... So around 67000 posts over almost 4 years....
Also
*omboogienomnom!*
Cissy: I feel your pain, having sleep troubles as well, m'self.
Atleast your body says it needs enough sleep. Mine decides it doesn't want to sleep, and when I do get to sleep, it wants to wake up at random times, also it likes 6 AM for me to start a solid hour of being awake.
And then when I go to class/noon, it decides it doesn't have enough energy and is tired.:smallsigh:

Except wasn't the forum default page length only 25 posts in the early threads?
I wasn't around at the time. But that's what I heard last time we had this discussion. :smalltongue:
Re: Jibar's Random Banter #137: Return of the Cat-Muffin
Hmm, yes.
Therefore early RB's only went up to 25 pages. Till Samiam's RB #46 where it goes to #50.

Well, it went up to 50 pages, but there were only fifteen posts to a page. :smalltongue: In the new software, they scoot it over to fill the gap.
Re: Jibar's Random Banter #137: Return of the Cat-Muffin
I am happy now.
I just owned a co-worker that is oblivious to everything and generally messes up a whole heap of things all the time.
He and I are the only two left on the lines between 3pm and 4pm.
So he decidec to strike up a random conversation, telling me that "Well, at least things weren't too bad today for being a Monday. The phones have been pretty quiet today, haven't they?"
So I dial up the call management system to check who's done what over the course of the day, finding that the rest of the team has been pretty busy, it's just that he's done about half the work compared to everyone else.
Ok, so proving to a colleague that he's crap might not be a big thing, but it kind of brightened my day a bit.
Also, even if I've taken double the amount of calls than he, I've also spent a large chunk of time discussing DnD stuff with the colleagues that are in my DnD group. :smallwink:
Re: Jibar's Random Banter #137: Return of the Cat-Muffin
Oh Jibar. We love you. :smalltongue:
Also, 67000 posts? Holyboop, that's a lot... I should come by RB more often.

why were they changed to the 50 page system? I wasnt around when they were only 25 pages.
Re: Jibar's Random Banter #137: Return of the Cat-Muffin
Jibjab, you handsome rogue, good on you.
Also, The Giant himself should make Random Banter #250.

Well I originally went with Return of the Jedi, so when my fourth comes around I get to start the New Trilogy.

They still went to 50. The thing is that with the old board software (YaBB) each page only had 15 posts displayed. Our current software (vBulletin) displays 30 posts per page. So all the threads from the old software now appear to have been only 25 pages.

Oh okay. Thanks for clarifying.
and I keep finding money around my house. yesterday I found that $20 bill under my bed, and now I just found $5 in my flute case for some reason. :smallconfused: and $1 on the couch.
Re: Jibar's Random Banter #137: Return of the Cat-Muffin
New RB is made by Jibbers => New RB is epic.
However, Eggy's avatar has changed => Thufir confused.

I wish I was you at the moment, I'm pretty much broke.
Re: Jibar's Random Banter #137: Return of the Cat-Muffin
Don't think too hard about finding money - you might figure out who's it really is :smalltongue:

I've been hoarding all my Christmas money over the years for a while now. :smallamused: I am quite proud of myself. Normally I end up spending it on some electronic thing within the first couple months.

I'm a hoarder. Then my mum gets annoyed because all my clothes look trashy and buys new ones for me because I won't spend my own money. :smallwink: That wasn't my strategy--I just don't like spending money--but it's a nice side benefit.

I'll pass on the stuffed animals but I'll agree with the electronics (mostly games), and don't forget Magic cards, and books. I want to hold on to my money but there's so much good stuff to buy. :smallbiggrin:

Books for sure. I should really buy fewer of them.
Re: Jibar's Random Banter #137: Return of the Cat-Muffin
Pffft, all this buying of books, gadgets, and stuffed animals matters not to me. I spend all my money on music, in the form of CDs or vinyls. And damnit, it's awesome.
Re: Jibar's Random Banter #137: Return of the Cat-Muffin
:o Yaaay! New Thread! ^o^ *Starts a brand new Bonfire*
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ulus/g2471.png
...This is just the old bonfire, isn't it?
...Yup...just the old bonfire.
Oh well! ^^ It's good to recycle!
On-topic: Also, my big expenditure tends to go towards two things: New Video Games, and visiting my girlfriend. And trust me, at roughly $100+ dollars for every set of round-trip tickets, plus eating out and other date-related activities, it adds up pretty quickly. ;-; Sadly, I don't think I'll be able to afford going on our planned rendezvous to Otakon this year, as I save up money to afford an apartment for myself. I...really can't stay here in my parent's house much longer without my dad driving me insane. @_@;

This means that you have a record player. *jealousy*
This is rather sad, but I think I spend the most money on gas for my car. I can't buy much of anything that takes up physical space, because I won't have anyplace to keep it.
@V: I know that, but my family's record player died shortly after my birth, and I don't have the money to buy one now.
