Hello! And welcome to the Random Banter of Giant in the Playground Forums. Talk about anything here! Except, y'know, that!
Stay thirsty, my friends.
Rules List
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.
15. If you can avoid dibs calling on making the next thread, that will avoid people needing to wait if the thread hits 50 pages while the dibs-caller is asleep.
Man, it feels like way longer than 12 days since this thread started.
Also, speaking of movies, I was at the theater to get Harry Potter tickets. Apparently, since they ran out of Shrek movies, they decided to make a Puss in Boots movie and keep the cash cow emaciated but alive. Also there is a Smurfs movie coming soon, which will be a barrel of laughs for all 10 people who like that show.
I am a very critical person.
I've heard Puss in Boots might be good. The intent of it is to be a tale of Puss's original story. But...I think it might die.
Smurfs is gonna be horrible. No question about it.
Hey, what did you mean by not being allowed to do stuff in pictures anymore?

But if your post has sentencesthatlook like thisone, you're not.
Yay for shanghaiing! I'm glad we got a 'volunteer'.
Ah, I love sinister quotation marks.

Also, speaking of "stay thirsty" what is everyone's favorite drinks?
Birds of prey are nifty in general.
I like Perrier and San Pellegrino.

The second one is very good and you should see it. The third one not so much but still decent. Haven't seen the fourth, not really interested.
Kudos on the Dune (I'm assuming) Screenname.
The second one just really didn't seem like it'd be that funny. The Puss in Boots character itself looked kinda dumb honestly. I may see it at some point though.

Of course! I like that better than the water. And also their orangeade is very good.

Anyway on the Puss in Boots thing, I really only ever saw the first Shrek, the others didn't seem too interesting.
As for Smurfs, meh I like NPH. I'm not going to see it, but at least they got a decent actor for it.

I'd ask what Chrunk Juice is but something tells me I don't want to know. That is what I was getting at.
Puss in Boots was one of the best parts of the Shrek movies. Antonio Banderas playing Cat Zorro. Pretty cool.
Energy Drink + Hard Liquor. Most commonly Red Bull + Hennessy, but I prefer Amp or Monster + Gin
Like a Jaeger bomb? That sounds really bad for you...

Also, why do people drink energy drinks like Red Bull? I can't stand the taste.
I'd say it depends on the person. I imagine some people do enjoy the taste, some people are probably after the energy boost. I only drink energy drinks when I'm boozing because Booze + Energy Drink is a very fun combination.

Not really, but it's a similar concept, a Jager bomb is a shot of Jager in a glass of redbull. Crunk Juice is more 1:1
To be fair if I was concerned about my health I wouldn't be boozing in the first place.

Oh, I gotcha.
Yeah, but boozing and boozing plus energy drinks are two totally different things. Why do you think they took Four Lokos off the market?

Anyway, it's good to see friends you haven't seen in a long time. Me and some buddies walked half way across town to Dairy Queen and back home again. Did some really hilarious free-styling. Not board appropriate, but it was all LOTR and innuendo.
Did you notice your acronym is one letter away from 'For the win'
Also by the way.

So, LaLa, tell me about Guardians of Ga'hoole. What's it like? Is it anything like Redwall? 'Cause that's the first thing that came to mind when I saw the trailer for the movie.
