TwoBitWriter's Tubular Tracts of Thought-Talking Random Banter #111
Welcome to Random Banter
Here are the rules. Any deviation will be met with swift retribution. All Clerics have Storm of Vengeance prepared and Paladins have their Smites recharged!
If you aren't familiar with D&D classes, change Clerics and Paladins to "Trained Assassins" And references to Storms of Vengeances and Smites to "Stabbity Death"
The rules are spoilered for simplicity's sake, but you must read them! There will be a quiz later!
Spoiler
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.
This thread is for random discussion, not random chit chat. That is to say, this is a forum, not your IM client. 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.

I do like cats, but have always been more of a dog person. That being said, the only kind of pet I can reasonably accomodate in my home is a cat, so that is what I have.
I can't wait to buy a house and get a dog... Black Labs are my favorite breed.
Re: TwoBitWriter's Tubular Tracts of Thought-Talking Random Banter #111
i think i want a pet squirrel. they're just so cute and fluffy! it overwhelms my cynicism-based defenses.

Re: TwoBitWriter's Tubular Tracts of Thought-Talking Random Banter #111
I wanted a chocolate lab, but stupid HOA laws in my neighborhood don't allow anything over 25 pounds! Stupid...
So my mom got me a chihuahua. Yay. (note the lack of enthusiasm)
But now he's family and I love him dearly and missed him terribly while I was away.
Re: TwoBitWriter's Tubular Tracts of Thought-Talking Random Banter #111
My cats would eat him Dirk... they eat anything.

Does anyone else find the Labradoodle to be an abomination?
Edit: And Dirk, It's easy to love any breed of dog, even if you normally find them annoying. I'm sure if I got a chihuahua I would feel the same way...
Re: TwoBitWriter's Tubular Tracts of Thought-Talking Random Banter #111
heck my entirely-hypothetical pet squirrel would eat a chihuahua. fox squirrels get pretty big, and i bet they got at least 4 points more dex than any ol' dog.
also, squirrels are known to prey on other animals, according to the wikipedia. primarily other small rodents and such, but still. ain't nobody afraid of a chihuahua.

Is it wrong that I wish you meant a Chocolate Laboratory?
Also, I really think they should make a perfume 'Cute Poison'. It really does sound like it could be one, doesn't it?
@^: dun worry. That means you've just made a hundred gold or so for auctioning off. It's not much, but at least you got that, right? And maybe more skill, and the knowledge of not to stand in a patrolling NPC's path.

GEE THANKS.
hahahahahahaha! No, I feel your pain. I was in SFK last night, and people kept messaging me, and I'd find myself typing my macros in the messenger window. I died a lot.
As for the previous discussion, dogs are massively superior to cats. Oh, cats understand the rules, they just choose to ignore them. They wouldn't get off the furniture when I come in the room if they didn't know they weren't supposed to be there. #&$% cats.

CP, you don't have to credit me. Plus, you made your avatar better, thereby making it your work (or at least a collaborated piece) and thus not needing to give credit.
@V: Of course not, that would be silly. I just wanted to point out that I have, in fact, heard of someone being mauled by a vicious cat.
Something similar also happened to a friend of mine's mother. My friend, her mother, and her grandmother returned home from the hospital (where the grandmother had been recently treated) and as they entered the house the grandmother's cat attacked my friend's mother completely out of nowhere. She needed 18 stitches in her leg.

Yeah, but I'm gay like that. PUT UP WITH IT.

Yeah, hell with goblins and orcs. If there's one thing the villager truly fears, it's that his village will come under attack from a horde of housecats.

Good day to all the people of the playground, I am just popping in to say Hello, maybe I'll discuss something, but I have to get ready for something in 5 or 10 minutes, so it will have to be short.
Firstly, my opinion on cats and dogs, I like dogs better, cats seem too fickle, also I have a Siberian Huskey, she is so adowable that it is unreal, some cats I like, e.g Reinholdt, my neighbours cat, tigers, panthers, jaguars and lions.
And now to discuss something else, what is your opinion on old martial arts movies, you know, the ones that are badly dubbed.
