Default Destro Yersul's Dangerously Distracting and Doubtlessly Disturbing Random Banter #103

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!

Previous Threads:
(We all have far too much spare time.)


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!

Be Excellent to each other, and PARTY ON, DUDES!

Hello Destro. Nice thread.

What were we talking about? Segways or something?

*Oooh, room service just arrived.*

And now, apparently, pie. Which I have had the past several days, by virtue of working at a grocery store that sells decent premade pies. big chunk of pie for break, how could you say no?

On the downside of that, I'm rapidly running out of ice-cream.

No. They have a really horrible plate of spaghetti. Remind me never to order it again. The salad and rolls are ok though. (And the beer was really needed.)

They should be illegal for STUPIDITY everywhere.

In a related note (), for some reason I'm trying to capitalize letters using the ctrl key. Keep popping up windows.

If stupidity were illegal, 98% of the world's population would be on death row.

I can't remember where I heard that...

Nice title.

Stupidity is both widespread and catching...it's like a virus or something.

In the UK it's illegal for kids to play conkers at school because of health and safety unless they are wearing goggles....I mean come on....

Mind you, I'm capable of hurting myself on absolutely anything, so I guess I need the looking after.

My brother is in Calculus, I think. He's probably going to be an engineer or something and make more money than I could ever hope to make because I never bothered to actually try in school.

Maybe I'll mooch off him.

Whats the legality of Segways in the United States?

I personally despise them, and tend to yell obscenities publicly whenever I see someone on them.

My english teacher sucks, because he's... well, me. I'm homeschooled. Still, getting to read eight of Shakespeare's best plays in one semester isn't bad.

But now I have a powerful urge to put on a production of Hamlet...

Speaking of calculus I just got a booklet from uni telling me what will be on the test during the first week.

Basically it's more basic than sticks and stones. I seriously doubt they expect you to get a single question wrong...

Well, what do you expect? Calculus is easy. The only math class I had that I thought was hard was my Prob/Stat course, and that was mostly just because I took it my last semester, while my Cal classes were in my first-third. So a couple years had passed between them.
