Dish's Delightfully Deranged and Deliciously Deliquent Random Banter # 106
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!

I have to agree with you, the feel of a nice crisp clean thread does do something wonderful. Won't last a week.
I've been wanting to watch that movie. I have one to recommend. Dark City. It is one of the freakiest and coolest movies out there.
To get you started, here is a little something you'll find out in 2 seconds anyways
SpoilerThe main guy wakes up in a bathtub with no memories what so ever. Not even his name.
It is a Fantasy/Sci-fi/Horror and is one of my top 10 favorites.

Re: Dish's Delightfully Deranged and Deliciously Deliquent Random Banter # 106
Normal sleeping hours? Went to bed at 3am this night just because I didn't feel like sleeping. Too bad I did have to get at up at 8, but it's not like I'll miss those three hours.

Gahhh...Sleep is helpful. Especially at passing the time when you got nothing to do. In fact, I think I might just do that.

Been meaning to watch that since reading Squaremans' excellent review.

But I'll need a nap to make sure I have enough energy for that main snooze.

Re: Dish's Delightfully Derranged and Deliciously Deliquent Random Banter # 106
The problem is, sometimes the students are wrong. Last week I wrote the word "mortgage" on the board. My students all told me I had made a mistake and should change it, so I did until someone checked his dictionary and realised that my original spelling was correct.
The moral of this tale is: sometimes the teacher is right. The trick is knowing when.

All this talk about sleep...
Weird sleep last night. Mtn_Faerie stayed at her folks house while re-exchanging cars with MY folks. It's nice to know that it's unsettling to sleep without someone you've slept with for the past 5 years...Unofficial Brew-Meister in the playground. Just ask!

Re: Dish's Delightfully Deranged and Deliciously Deliquent Random Banter # 106
Tell me about it. I can't sleep without my Sunshine Bear; when I was little(r) his absence gave me wake - up - screaming nightmares. My parents learned to wash him quickly, in the day if they wanted an uninterrupted nights sleep.
Obviously not the same as Hippie's problem, but I'm bored and it's only just turned twelve.
Still better than college though.
But there's still nothing on.
*goes off to watch old cartoons*
*and read*
But first; @dish: when I was in secondary school I had a PE/History teacher who taught me history in Y8 (topic: America until the Civil War) and he barely knew the first thing about it.
He thought Christopher Columbus was Spanish.
He couldn't spelly Inuit or half the other tribe names right. He actually called them Eskimos and Red Americans a few times.
And some other gaffs that were obvious to anyone who knew slightly more than most kids knew about the subject. Five of us ended up playing a game called Correct The Teacher While Undermining His Authority. I had the record for most corrections in a lesson - six; but someone else had the record for Most Obvious Mistake Corrected. He thought the Aztecs were a Native American tribe from roughly where the southern states are.
Good times; terrible teacher.
Bathatar!
Squid bones are lies.

Re: Dish's Delightfully Derranged and Deliciously Deliquent Random Banter # 106
SpoilerThis one can TUNE.
I always thought the similarity to the Matrix was hilarious. Kiefer Sutherland's first call to John Murdoch always makes me think "Outside the window, there is a scaffold.
I have a horrible habit of staying up late and not doing my homework for my class at 10:00, so I have to wake up at 7:00 AM to do my homework, but then I get on the computer and don't start my homework til 8:30 or so. I get 6 hours of sleep on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Re: Dish's Delightfully Deranged and Deliciously Deliquent Random Banter # 106
Meh, I had a math teacher who was so astonishingly inept and poorly cut out for the teaching profession that he got so mad at me correcting him constantly that he refused to acknowledge my existance.
I then started asking my mate loudly to inform Mr Eady that he had made an error, as he is acting like a child and ignoring me... after about a week of this he snapped and started throwing stuff at me, then had the gall to send me to the principle when I started throwing it back... he doesn't work there any more.
Edit - Mauve I've been operating on 4-6 hours a night for the past... 15 years.
As it goes, I read a statistic somewhere that stated that folk that sleep 5 hours a night live the longest on average... whether that means you can extend your life by sleeping less is unclear, but you can definately experiance more of it.

Dark City was so much superior to the Matrix, in mine own opinion.

Re: Dish's Delightfully Derranged and Deliciously Deliquent Random Banter # 106
Is it bad that I could sense the car crash coming as soon as I saw those two subjects juxtaposed?
"Who let the PE Teacher near a book?"
"Dark City" did it first, and had both Richard O'Brian and the late, great Ian Richardson as villains (Riff-Raff + Francis Urquhart/The Master of Porterhouse > Agent Elrond).
W00t! The ION frenzy continues with the new BOFH, which includes the wonderfully apt term 'Wikisalting' (the art of source and attribution fabrication for the eponymous hivepedia).Last edited by bosssmiley; 2008-11-07 at 08:50 AM.

Re: Dish's Delightfully Deranged and Deliciously Deliquent Random Banter # 106
I agree with both that have said Dark City is superior. I just saw it second. It has the advantage of not having Keanu Reeves. I do think the Agents are scarier than the Strangers.
