Dogmantra's Dastardly, Despotic and Dangerous Random Banter #122
Dogmantra's Random Banter
I think you know what this thread is for... But just in case you don't:
It's for random discussion of stuff you want to talk about but can't, won't or shouldn't make a new thread about. This includes almost everything. Everything but spam.
That being said, there are rules. Which are laid out below. If you are not familiar with them, please read them (basically, just be civil). If you are already familiar with them, fine, don't, it's your choice. (But you'll only have yourself to blame if you forget one of the rules and accidentally break it. )
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. The latter is great... the former? Not so much.
So... have fun, I guess!
(Oh, and I told you that I'd get the new thread, my path to world domination is almost complete!)

Ooh, a new one! Excitement.
I'm so bored now that school's over and there's nothing to do. I'm 18 now, damn it, there should be all sorts of things I can do now. And yet...

Re: Dogmantra's Dastardly, Despotic and Dangerous Random Banter #122
Ah yes, I believe I did register for that...
*goes off and rummages through closet for shotgun*
It's raining again/still here...only harder. Imagine having a bucket of water dumped on you, then stepping outside and getting even wetter .

Hm? Oh, sorry, I was testing the relative qualities of Coca-Cola as mixed in various countries. Currently U.S. Coca-Cola loses the least volume when a dry cat is dipped into a vat of the stuff. Reports on further exhaustive quantitative testing as it happens.
Re: Dogmantra's Dastardly, Despotic and Dangerous Random Banter #122
I'd be more than glad to give you some of my rain. Or if you want, I can give you my brand-new, untested rain formula.
...
Man, I have to stop acting like my avatar. Whacking people with briefcases was harmless enough, but with this one I'll probably end up blowing somebody up.

My computer is humming rather ominously. I think it wants to kill me. That or it is slowly dying. Which could lead to the former being true.
I saw a strange creature today. It was smaller than a cat, had a sort of golden-brown fur (the texture was not like silk however) and loped along rather like a prey animal, as opposed to the lither movement of foxes or cats. I have absolutely no idea what it was.

That's okay, mad scientists (especially mad scientists who blow people up) are more than welcome here.
@Kopaka: Maybe you could send it in a plastic tub? Perhaps a lidded bucket?

hmm... it sounds like a non-particularly-frumious bandersnatch cub.
