The rules of Random Banter
(Please follow these to ensure a safe and pleasant journey)

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.

Now, on with the usual weirdness.

[DJ Yung Crunk]

New thread, baby!



Now, where was I? Oh, right. Reality TV.

Look, it occurs to me that there are probably too many different subtypes for any of us to be making these generalizations in the first place. I'm really only going on my experience with Survivor, here. I don't really watch COPS or Jerry Springer or Real Housewives.

[Asta Kask]

Xykon's theme song:

[Solse]

What is that picture?
EDIT: I meant to reply to Yung Crunk, but I got ninja'd. Either way, I looked it up, and apparently it's a still from a Japanese music video, but it just raises more questions as to why the video would feature a young man in a fedora pouring ketchup on his head...
EDIT 2: The music video actually isn't Japanese, but by a guy who seems to be addicted to the N64 and the Pokémon TCG. At least I think that's what he's mumbling about.

[DJ Yung Crunk]

What is that picture?

Swedish abstract rapper Yung Lean. He's either an absolute joke or a misunderstood genius, depending on your inclination. I am heavily for the former.

His only album, Unknown Death 2002 is free on Bandcamp if you have the inclination. But I wouldn't recommend it.

Nope. Yung Lean takes influence from Japanese retrofuturist culture, for sure, but he's very much a product of Sweden.

Here's the video in question.

EDIT 2: The music video actually isn't Japanese, but by a guy who seems to be addicted to the N64 and the Pokémon TCG. At least I think that's what he's mumbling about.

It's pretty freaking stupid. It's clear he wants to emulate other abstract rappers like Viper or Lil B, but he doesn't have the charisma, the work ethic or the imagination to pull it off.

[LaZodiac]

Xykon's theme song:
When You're Evil - Voltaire

I'm more partial to this song. For the comedy of it.

[DJ Yung Crunk]

On 4chan they frequently have threads wherein you speculate what three albums a cartoon character would, potentially, listen to. I did one for OotS. I just wish I could remember the albums I chose for Xykon.

[Qwertystop]

Oh, right, you can embed Youtube now.

[Feytalist]

So yeah, I've pretty much become addicted to NetHack.


Who knew that staring at a bunch of ASCII could be this compelling?

Hey guys, I'm back from Ireland. Summary of Ireland: Dublin, field, field, sheep, field, cows, sheep, sheep, field, cows, field, sheep, field, field, cows, sheep. And a bit of trees. Plus some mountains in the distance.

Going back this summer. My cousins are great.

[Asta Kask]

If you get the opportunity, go on a tour of the mountains near Dublin. They're amazing.

[FinnLassie]

My mum went on a granny tour to Wicklow on Sunday. Apparently it was nice. I probably won't have the time for a proper Ireland hiking trip in a long time though. Next time I go it'll be me in the countryside being entertained by my bestest two cousins ever.

[Solse]

Welcome to the dark side. Do you prefer the X11 version or the console? The X11 version allows for you to actually feel as if you're on an adventure in a dungeon, slaying jackals, but the console version runs faster on my computer.

The console. I didn't even know the X11 existed :O I'll check it out though. But you get used to the ASCII layout quickly enough.

Now if I just didn't keep dying within the first 5 minutes

His Japanese appears to be non-sense in that frame.

Sometimes i have to wonder what goes through the heads of some writers.

That sounds perfect to me, although I'm not certain about the Dublin part.

I shall myself, like any good Roman, be escaping the enervation of city life next weekend to enjoy the invigorating masculinity of the countryside. There is a rough small-town bar I may visit in the company of some rustic fellows, and I dare not guess into what kind of trouble we might get ourselves.

There is little other news from these Prairies; the temperatures have fallen far below freezing again, but the radiant sun still tickles away the snow cover day by day. And as the weather warms I am driven closer and closer to acquiring two budgies for my home. We shall see. I have this feeling that, should anybody who knows me here visit my home, they would be disappointed if I had no budgies.

[Somensjev]

i had to close my other internet tab, because i had accidentally entered the dark side of youtube

[Asta Kask]

And as the weather warms I am driven closer and closer to acquiring two budgies for my home. We shall see. I have this feeling that, should anybody who knows me here visit my home, they would be disappointed if I had no budgies.

Can you really have a home without there being a pet in it? Budgie, cat, dog, ferret...

[Kneenibble]

There are several mice. ;___;

[Asta Kask]

You need a cat. Or an owl.

You need a cat. Or an owl.

Didn't you just say the owls weren't what they seemed? Are you sure they wouldn't be mice in owls' clothes?

[Cuthalion]

Oh, 'tis wonderful sitting in the garden on a sunny morning, watching big chickens and little chickens and sparrows zip around and collect all they can from the ground, while drawing and dozing.

Also, I loathe when one eats all but one of something, and then peers at the last one as one is about to eat it and discovers it has a dot of blue mold.

[LaZodiac]

So, I've said this before, but sometimes I get sleepy, but still able to message friends online. Just had a few quite hilarious ones happen last night, that I'd like to share. First one was direct to one friend, second directed to three friends. Specifically, the people involved

Congrats on your field-filled trip! Did you drink any Irish drinks, visit Ye Olde Irish Pubs?

I don't particularly drink and haven't felt like drinking in months, so no. We did go to a couple of pubs but only to fill ourselves with food. And I prefer whisky to whiskey.

As a Finn she would be more used to hooch.

You and your silly stereotypes. I FIGHT AGAINST THEM! TEMPERANCE, ATTACK!

That sounds perfect to me, although I'm not certain about the Dublin part.

I shall myself, like any good Roman, be escaping the enervation of city life next weekend to enjoy the invigorating masculinity of the countryside. There is a rough small-town bar I may visit in the company of some rustic fellows, and I dare not guess into what kind of trouble we might get ourselves.

And as the weather warms I am driven closer and closer to acquiring two budgies for my home. We shall see. I have this feeling that, should anybody who knows me here visit my home, they would be disappointed if I had no budgies.

Dublin was lovely (although I preferred the countryside my cousins inhabit). I began my day with mass at the local cathedral - amazing, that place is - and continued by getting a tad lost in the lovely city on my way to the art gallery. I got myself a poster! I feel all educated now! Many pieces that I've seen in my school books were there too, and it was a lovely experience. Museum of Archeology was good too, and I wanted to see the book of Kells... But the queue was an hour long. No time for such foolishness! I then went on to read a book under the cherry trees in St Patrick's park (or something like that).

I truly wish you have a wonderful time my sweet tweetling. It sounds to me like you deserve a nice get-away. Two budgies would have a splendid time in your home, but I do understand the hesitation. Please to name one of them Finn, though.

[Kneenibble]

Go home, Zodalicious. You have become drunk.

You need a cat. Or an owl.

This is indeed the ubiquitous advice: but I am allergic to cats, and the last time I had owls over, they bred vigorously and I had a bubonic plague. GET IT? AH? AH?

Catch fire? In an oven?
...
Right, gas...

Indeed. I only recently figured out that suicide by sticking one's head in the oven was accomplished by inhaling the gas. I used to think it was by slowly burning your head to a crisp, and wondered why somebody wouldn't try something faster.

Kneeeen! Fluffbudgie! Did you see my drawing?

And the questions you should ask yourself shouldn't be what others would think, but would you be disappointed if you came home to meet nobudgie at home?

Teddiferousness! I did see it, much to my enduring delight. I have, in fact, been trying to figure out if there is an efficient way to import quotes from the closed thread to here for replying. So far it looks like it must be done manually, which means I probably won't. -- either way, rest assured that it has been duly saved and filed both for posterity and for its adorability..

I am disappointed every day I come home to nobudgie. ;___; But there are a lot of factors at play here, the aforementioned mice being one of them.

Oh, 'tis wonderful sitting in the garden on a sunny morning, watching big chickens and little chickens and sparrows zip around and collect all they can from the ground, while drawing and dozing.

Also, I loathe when one eats all but one of something, and then peers at the last one as one is about to eat it and discovers it has a dot of blue mold.

It sounds transcendent, aside from the mold. You know what I look forward to? A glass of chilled white wine in the garden of a scorching June afternoon. The garden is bristling with adolescent vegetables, and fluffy birds are mucking around on the fence.


At work today a letter came in the mail from Belgium. It is handwritten on very nice paper in charmingly imperfect English. Unfortunately they are looking for information we do not have, but it was such a treat nevertheless. I shall reply in kind.

Dublin was lovely (although I preferred the countryside my cousins inhabit). I began my day with mass at the local cathedral - amazing, that place is - and continued by getting a tad lost in the lovely city on my way to the art gallery. I got myself a poster! I feel all educated now! Many pieces that I've seen in my school books were there too, and it was a lovely experience. Museum of Archeology was good too, and I wanted to see the book of Kells... But the queue was an hour long. No time for such foolishness! I then went on to read a book under the cherry trees in St Patrick's park (or something like that).

I truly wish you have a wonderful time my sweet tweetling. It sounds to me like you deserve a nice get-away. Two budgies would have a splendid time in your home, but I do understand the hesitation. Please to name one of them Finn, though.

It sounds lovely indeed. With only a day to spend, I'm not sure I would have bothered with an hour queue for the Book of Kells either, but that is hard to say from over here. I've wanted to see it since I was wee. Is it clean? Is it safe? Is it pretty?

You shall certainly see images of the fluffs if I overcome my hesitation, Fineapple.
