A Thread in Which Banter Most Random is Expulsed Into Existence, By Ravens_cry #142
Random Banter
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.
14. Once you have made a Random Banter thread, you must wait 50 threads before making another one.

Well yes, I suppose 'expelled' would be the right word. I suggest leaving it all the same; its oddities reflect the nature of the thread rather well...

Ex-pulsed.. No longer pulsing. Has no pulse. Dead.
Even if this thread is newly born and very much alive.
I agree with Freddy 5-0, though, that the correct word would be 'expelled', but I like it the way it is now.

Is Jibbers here? No? In that case
*BOOGIES*
This thread has been blessed.
As of yesterday I have only one exam left. I am happy. And we're going to a Japanese restaurant this evening. The weather is nice, I had an 'easy' exam yesterday, another 'easy' exam tomorrow, my friends and I get to go out tonight, I'm going home on Saturday (presumably) and it's the summer holidays.
Today is good. Life is, in fact, good.
ALl I got to do is pack . . . and have a six page holiday reading list.
Life is good.

Chocolate milk has a lifetime measured in minutes!
If you don't drink it by the exact date and time marked "Use By" on the packet, you will die.
THIS IS FACT

I have a day and a half left covering this cursed account at work that I haven't got enough training to cover on my own, and no one to ask about stuff since the guy that usually covers it is in South Africa.
However, he's back on Monday and I'll happily hand things over to him again.
After that, I've only got Tuesday left at work before I go on my week and a half vacation to Sweden.
I've started the countdown.

I can vouch for this. I disregarded a similar warning and died a terrible lingering death that ended with my bones liquefying, my eyeballs melting in their sockets and running down my cheeks, and my stomach falling out of my anus.

I got better.

Koorli: packing to go home?
KuReshtin: in South Africa for the World Cup? If so, JEALOUSY.
Dogmantra: today I poured milk on my little brother's breakfast cereal and he announced to me that it tasted funny. It did. We were using a newly opened carton a milk whose "sell-by" date was today, and usually it's good at least a week after the sell-by . . . but then, it was 2% milk, not whole. Yuck. So we opened the whole milk (which also had a sell-by of today) and it was delicious.

I was lucky. I finished a bottle three minutes before it expired. One time I saw someone eat a slice of toast from a loaf of bread a whole hour out of date. There was so much blood.

I once spent a summer digging wells, then I grew tired of the hole boring business.
I just came to Boogie with CurlyKitGirl and to bask in that new thread smell.
Oooooh, the RB thread I made is still around. That was a fun time, very controversial, due to the controversy of me not posting enough to have my own thread, but it was still a great honor. I'm doing the old man rambling thing now. Was 2007 so long ago?

Yep, he's there for the World Cup.
That's nothing, though. One of my colleagues from the American Football Referees Association had to put himself as unavailable for games for about a whole month because he was first going to Paris for the French Open tennis tournament, and then he headed to South Africa for the World Cup as well. He won't be back until after 4th July.

Atreyu: I guess it was . . . mine was in '07 as well, but months later. Actually, with this thread I would theoretically be allowed to make a new one (50 later, y'all!) but I don't post enough anymore either.
KuReshtin: Daaaaaang. I'm American so I'm not supposed to like the sport (ha, ha) but seriously . . . I love it. It's my dad's fault. He was going on gleefully last night about how he's gotten me into it after all these years. Yet another father-daughter bonding activity, I guess. As if we're not bonded enough already . . . my parents and I are ridiculously close.

Are you doing okay? I once got my hair cut from being waist-length to being signifcantly less than shoulder-length and that really messed me up, way more than it should have done.

My poor, soft representative-democracy mind has been thrown for a loop. "On Saturday you may bear witness to something rare," said my husband over IRC, and I thought "?", "two grown men watching a wedding ;P" Another "?". People are coming around to our apartment to watch the Swedish royal wedding. And again I posit, ?????. Can't even distill my bafflement into a 'what' or 'why' or other interrogative. These are not tabloid readers.
Re: A Thread in Which Banter Most Random is Expulsed Into Existence, By Ravens_cry #1
It's a momentous event in Sweden. We've not had a royal wedding since the king himself got married in the 70s, and now it's the crown princess that's getting married, so it's a pretty big deal.

I've always considered breakfast to be evil. Looking at me with it's bacon-smile, and it's sunny-side-up eyes. I know it's plotting something.
