Random Banter! It's for all those topics you never thought you'd find a place for, all those news stories not quite worthy of their own topic, all those funny pictures that aren't really related to anything but still make you giggle like a pixie with a fresh batch of human slaves to stew for dinner (yes, pixies really do that. It's a long story how I found out and lived to tell about it)! And then, afterwards, discuss things. Not just say them, discuss them. As in "I like shoes!" "Me too!" not "I like shoes!" "BICYCLE STAMPEDE!!!"
Of course, just because it's a thread more or less designed for all those little tidbits of chaos that come to mind over time, doesn't mean we don't follow rules - oh no, we have rules, and we follow them. You will be eaten alive if you don't pay attention, or, as the situation may warrant, politely asked not to break the rules again.
Better yet, you could just read the rules and not break them.
Why didn't we think of that earlier...
Rules
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.
And here, linked for your convenience, are the previous incarnations of this thread.
Previous Threads:
As stated above, 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.
So, banter away people!

Y'kno, I used to love peanut butter on a scale bordering obsession, but it's just kind of faded from my tastes now. Too... processed. Next time I visit back home I'm going to get some (home made? fresh? natural? organic?) peanut butter from the wholefoods store though, and see if I like that any better.
I'm totally on the Crunchy side of the Peanut Butter debate though. Crunchy all the way!
[Insert various 300 references altered to support Cruncy Peanut Butter HERE]

Ah, my intro, it has been changed. Oh well. It lasted through 2 threads that weren't mine.
Weirdly enough, I had a dream last night that TwoBit started the new RB, and I was all like "Wait a minute! It hasn't been 50 threads since your last one!" and I can't remember how the dream continued from there, other than it made little or no sense. I think some sort of secret agents were involved at some point.
And yeah, well, I figured if I'm going to have my own Random Banter, it needs to have that sort of personal touch you can only get with a good old fashioned Bicycle Stampede.

If we had a bicycle stampede, what would it look like?
Thousands dead, with tread-marks of blood trailing. A small, pink number with beads flowing from the handlebars gives off a weak ringing sound as it hurries to catch up with the rest.

Well, in general, I don't eat a lot of peanut butter. We tried the thing where we bought a small jar of crunchy for myself, but I never think "Oh yeah, I want some PB&J!"
So it went largely unused. Ever since, we just stopped buying it.
Man... now I have a craving... and work just started...
A bicycle stampede is nothing compared to the wounds I shall inflict upon people who like crunchy PB.
I like any type of peanut butter, but wounds are going to be inflicted to me due to enjoying the addition of fragments of peanuts added to creamy peanut butter.

Anyone ever had this or wanted this or hell, even heard of this?
Isn't nutela that chocolate and hazelnut spread? I have eaten that stuff several times in my life.
