Dallas-Dakota's Dundering Dandelion's Devilish Damsel's Distress Random Banter #102

Dallas-Dakota · 08-26-2008, 09:47 AM

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

Anyone found breaking the rules will be sent to stand in the corner and receive a very stern talking to!

Spoiler

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!

Friends! Playgrounders! Forumites! Lend me your banter.

Ps, the thing wouldn´t allow me to make a longer title.

WORD TO YOUR MOTHERING UNITS!

*BOOGIE!* for great justice!

This thread has been blessed.

Cue the Shaft title song!

Griever · 08-26-2008, 09:51 AM

Ugh, Chemisty Sucks....

However, Calculus 3 is awesome!

Player_Zero · 08-26-2008, 09:55 AM

High five for mathematics!

Also, if you let me do the thread then I'd trick it out with all manner of crazy doodads and whatchamacallits. Pfft. Copy and paste.

SMEE · 08-26-2008, 09:56 AM

Ah, the smell of a new thread.

Smells like... coffee!

Indeed. Chemistry is the smelly science. Physics is better (It only smells if and when you blow up capacitors).

That as well.

Chem rocks your socks. Better yet?
Biochem. Toxins and all that neat stuff!

Sneak · 08-26-2008, 09:57 AM

*sniffs*

Mmm, I love that shiny new thread smell.

Charity · 08-26-2008, 09:59 AM

I thought everything smelt of ball to you..

dish · 08-26-2008, 10:01 AM

I shouldn't even ask, should I? I should just go to sleep.

TwoBitWriter · 08-26-2008, 10:01 AM

I found that Biology, when properly applied, smelt pretty bad too.

Good to see a new thread, people. I look forward to filling it with my inane gobbledygook!

Destro_Yersul · 08-26-2008, 10:04 AM

I took Chem and Earth Science. Wasn't much good at chem, do to my distrust of math in general, (don't kill me, Zero), but Earth science was kinda fun.

I now know more about rocks than I could ever conceivably need to know.

Dallas-Dakota · 08-26-2008, 10:04 AM

*gives cookie to everybody who´s posted so far in this thread*

This new thread smells of freshly baken cookies, cold milk and shiiiiiiny.

Oh yeah. It smells horrible. But that means you're doing it right, and learning new things. Or applying what you already know correctly.

dish · 08-26-2008, 10:05 AM

Biology = something
Chemistry = smells
And Physics doesn't work.

Player_Zero · 08-26-2008, 10:06 AM

Well, you really shouldn't trust a guy who's good at maths, I suppose...

They could turn out to be me for one, and then you'll be sorry. YOU'LL ALL BE SORRY! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Ahem. But yeah, maths is good.

Oo, speaking of which, I has homework to do.

P.S. It goes Maths > Physics > Chemistry > Biology. That is nature's order.

Biology is the icky science, and thus even worse than chemistry, which isn't actually that bad, but clearly inferior to physics. Especially if you had my physics teachers.

Nature? Nature didn't invent maths! We did! Don't give credit to the wrong person!

Maths is our construct.

And yeah, I got my big ole maths IA to do. Which I am doing.

I was disillusioned with Physics when my High School Honors Physics teacher gave my "Testostercoaster" a lower grade because she didn't like the way I decorated it

dish · 08-26-2008, 10:10 AM

Someone's gonna post that xkcd strip now, aren't they?

(I don't have to do it, do I?)

A) Bad teacher
B) WTPF is a 'Testostercoaster'?

Player_Zero · 08-26-2008, 10:13 AM

Pffft. Fine.

Spoiler

Though I'm sure everyone's seen it by now anyhow.

But yeah, like I said when I wrote my PS, I like maths because I'm good at it.

Well, the pictures of athletes and muscle cars were alright. It was all the women in bikinis that bedecked my fine creation that she called foul about...
This was the Gulag *ahem* High School we are talking about.

dish · 08-26-2008, 10:16 AM

@P_Z: My hero.

(Surely you like maths for other reasons as well?)

Charity · 08-26-2008, 10:16 AM

Just wait till you study it at uni

Mwahaahahahahahaaha...

Gamerlord · 08-26-2008, 10:17 AM

Uhhhh....TOO MUCH SCIENCE!

*Brain explodes, becomes a zombie*
brainnssssssssss....

I would have done better in Cal 3 if I'd gone to class more than half the time, and then slept through it even when I went.

Well, I like doing problems. Most satisfying. But mostly because I'm good at it I suppose. Sounds kinda' horrible when I put it like that huh?

Oh well, I never claimed to be an ethicist anyhow.

But what was your fine creation? And why did you decorate it like that?
