Default Moon Called's Random Banter #86 of Sexy Anime Boys and Fangirl Squeals

The Rules. You! Read these!

In order to try and keep these threads from becoming unmanageable, some rules have been created, and they accent the forum rules. Please read those first.

1. Spam. For the purposes of RB one word posts should be spam everywhere. Likewise, posts that are nothing but *actions like this* should also be considered spam. Quality of content trumps speed of response.
2. Ditch the "competition for control of the universe". It has ceased to be funny, and often branches out into little mock battles that fall into the spam definition laid out above. We've got a PbP section for fights, and even the Town has an arena, I believe.
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.
4. Stop advertising 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 stop with 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. Do not 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. No asking "What's the topic" or the ilk. This is *not* a conversation where you could've missed the begining, it's a forum where the current topic is nicely recorded for you. So 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.

Anyone found breaking the rules will be sent to stand in the corner and receive a very stern talking to!

Do we really need the boogieing/etc of the threads? They are really nothing more than spam.

Garsh darnit, rawhide! The boogie is sacred! I mean, we'll all listen to you, because we are advent traditionalists, not suicidal maniacs, but....BOOGIE! It's like denying cheese because, erm, actually it's not at all like denying cheese. It's just natural to boogie up the thread.

Also, Moon, you happen to know your anime/manga. You must have heard of GANTZ, haven't you?

Edit: Someone should invest some time in teaching those animals how to speak correctly before taking the picture :p

Teaching them to speak at ALL is hard, let alone teaching them to speak correctly. Besides, it's developed into it's own individual language now, usually known as Catspeak.

On a side note: *takes Vespe's bucket*

That's so right, now that you mention it :o It must be a scientifically known fact. I shall experiment on this further.

But then again not all of us like the "cute but stupid blonde" cliche, don't we? Hmm...Barely started and this thread is full of thoughtfulness.

I prefer to go for the obvious Star Wars reference, seeing as how I've been really into Star Wars lately.

Probably because of Lego Star Wars II.

Damn you Lego.

Here's a simple experiment you can try in the comfort of your own home.

A kitten: =^_^= Cute.

A kitten trying unsuccessfully to bat at a piece of string placed just out of reach:
Adorable.

What about those of us allergic to cats? I can't do it in my own home, and most certainly not in comfort. Therefore, I can't try it!

HA! I win. Somehow.

Bah! And where I am supposed to get a puppy from, at this time of day? The nearest store that sells them isn't open right now.

Though, I could go up to Spit Roast. I'm sure they'd have one...

There's a scale (the level of appeal being equal)
smart_____________________________stupid
<------------------------------------------>
sexy______________________________cute

There are exceptions, of course, but it's a good rule of thumb.

Fear not, for Science is here.

Experiment #1:

Testing the cuteness level of agrammatical captions in potentially cute cat pictures.

Select which one among these pairs of photos is the cutest and funniest one.

Pair 1:
Spoiler


Pair 2:
Spoiler


Pair 3:

Discuss.

Notes on field research: There's a frickin' amount of cat pictures in the internet :o

It should be "A" not "ME" or "ME A" in my opinion.

And yes, for some reason lolcatspeekthingy is funnier than regular speech.

Noted. The choice of grammatical abnormalities seem to be more restricted than thought at the beginning of the experiment.

Thanks for your valuable input. :)

*looks up from glasses, scribbles in notepad*

Writing in all capitals does have an effect, doesn't it?
I want to distill the inherent humorous effect of the phenomenon known as "the cat meme". I want to get to the gist, to be able to define the intersection of funny/cute.

Yes, capitals do have an effect. Though, it should be noted that cats and other animals usually only speak in either all Capitals, or no Capitals.
