Banjo’s Bodacious & Boosted Bumper Bulletproof Box of Banter Most Random #145
Da' Rules You readz these!
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.
At the end of #144:
We were all wondering what to have for dinner.
Wall-E is either good or trash, depending on who you listen to.
Dogmantra was consdiering how many more lunch related items could be made with his post.
Let the banter commence!

So, how many threads has it been since Ego's been in to do the boogie blessing? I feel as though I've missed a few dozen since the last time I was in here...
Maybe I should spend more time home during the day, and not at work.

Epic disagree.
The communicator could speak fluent English loud and clear so he cant be faulted if the intended listeners are letting off firecrackers next to each other so they cant hear.

For Science!
As for Ego, I haven't seen her on here for a year or more unfortunately. That might have more to do with me being here less and less often more than anything else though?
Re: Banjo’s Bodacious & Boosted Bumper Bulletproof Box of Banter Most Random #145
*sigh* I was hoping we could leave it in the old thread.
Fine, in the vast majority of cases, including, in my opinion, this one, failure of communication is the resposibility of the communicator. If someone - especially multiple someones - interprets something you say differently to what you meant, then to not even consider the possibility that it might be that you need to communicate better is pure egotism. Especially if it an incredible simple matter to correct it.

Dear Canned Food Manufacturers:
Whilst I and others appreciate that you are trying to lower the fat/salt/other gooey sticky thingies content of your foods, the substitutes do not always yield the same effect. Please take an example from the lead of Coca-Cola and introduce new products as new while simultaneously selling the old. I won't mind buying "Extra Unhealthy Flavor" if you want to use "Same Great Taste" with the old packaging and the new formula, but please keep--selling--the proven food!
--Yours,
A Consumer Whose Casserole Just Fell Apart.
P.S. If unfeasible, just send a list of those countries which are not legislating the lowering of fat/salt/other gooey sticky thingies content, and let me import from there. Thank you.

What's that all about? Everyone knows the proper way to drink tea is milk and no sugar. Not two and a half sugars like those builders next door who are doing nothing but banging! BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG. I suppose it beats buying an alarm clock in as much as it's cheaper, but if only I could time them to start when I wanted to be woken, then I suppose it'd be better (I'd set them to go off at 7pm, just for a laugh).
Or you could just laugh at the AMAZING pun. That's what I'd suggest.
(prints this out, sets it to soak in boiling water)
It can't taste any more like old paper than that box of "oolong tea" did.

Perhaps they're taking Ibsen a bit too literally.

Actually, the person it causes a problem to is you, since you're the one who comes across badly to these people as a result of your phrasing. They are not in the least inconvenienced by thinking that, whereas you are.

A lot? I think she sometimes still did it when I started posting in RB, but not always. Mostly it was JibJab. And he's not around so much any more either, so Curly does it. Only sometimes she's not around, but Introbulus made an adorable avatar for the purpose.

I was going to say something like that, but let's face it: That one is fact.

Excellent! Now that you know that I'm an evil egotistical person who thinks that misinterpreting obvious opinions is pants-on-head stupid and I know that you know this I look forward to years monthsdayshours days of talking to you on this fine forum.
Re: Banjo’s Bodacious & Boosted Bumper Bulletproof Box of Banter Most Random #145
Man, I feel like it's been ages since I've been around in here. This is what I get for mostly being in SMBGs for the last however long.
It hasn't helped me any that so many people have changed their names. Half the time, I have to look at the join date to figure out if I probably know someone or not...
Re: Banjo’s Bodacious & Boosted Bumper Bulletproof Box of Banter Most Random #145
I bumped my head pretty bad a few hours ago and now I'm afraid to go to sleep. I'm a worryer you see and always assume the worst outcome is going to happen out of any given situation. It's frustrating.
