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

This thread is for random discussion, not random chit chat. There is an IRC chat thingy set up 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. It's win/win/win!
And now, without further ado, a shiny new RB thread ^^

is still in the OP. I can remember adding it to the OP format for my thread, along with a few other changes that got some other people mad. *enters Nostalgia Mode*
At least someone cut out the server/bug problems thing that no longer makes any sense.
well Fuzzbox is full of fuzz yes? And we all know that Fuzz is Hot. So if you gather enough Hot Fuzz into a Fuzzbox it exponentially gets hotter. Thermal dynamics cause the box to rise but since its held in place the energy is transferred into kinetic propulsion.
@\/ I saw it the other week with a buddy. I found it rather good.
Wow, my last random banter. Nice alliteration in the title. How exactly is something fueled by a fuzzbox though?
Oh, I see the audio part didn't work :p Well, if this thread was a song it'd would sound pretty much like a crunched feedback-laden poppy song, with an awesome guitar tone, I tell you. Like Yo La Tengo or Eleventh Dream Day or Scrawl.
As expected, ZRS got it right, grunge is pretty much fuzzbox-fueled. But I'm aiming at a more positive feeling ^^
Oh, it probably sounds a lot like this:

Too bad Argentina lost to Norway in that soccer match today.

Hehehe, gladly I'm not a soccer fan. But it was a good sneak attack attempt :p

Gotta love that nice new-thread smell
"New Thread Smell"? :s I specifically asked them for vanilla scented aroma.

(Wait, has someone cracked that one before?)
It's part of the ritual. It's always funny, anyway ^^ And if YOU never said it, then it's new. It's magic.
Ahem. *clears throat*
I'd like to thank you all for the opportunity of making this RB thread with my name (sorta) on it. It's a simple feat, but to me it represents the fact that I feel comfortable inthis community and that I'm accepted by you. So it's important for me. I'd like to express how much I like being here and enjoy talking to all of you, because you're great people. And I hope we can keep sharing interesting, funny or just irrelevant conversations for a long time.
Ahh, I see. I just looked up what a fuzzbox is, and it makes more sense. I was thinking it was just a box full of fuzz. I learned my new thing for the day.

FdL, if it makes you feel better, Mexico never EVER wins against Argentina, sadly... But hey, last Saturday they were kicked in Basketball, about... ninety-something against sixty something...

Was it the same kind of thing as Shaun of the Dead? If it was, I'll stay away thankyouverymuch.
I dunno. I havent seen Shaun of the Dead yet. From what I hear Shaun was a black comedy while Hot Fuzz is more action/comedy. With a large emphasis on comedy.

Oh, basketball...I don't know who's good at that. I think we won a world championship or something, with this Manu Ginobili dude and all. Problem is in Argentina people are sickeningly celebratory of sports in which we do well. Ie, if there was a waterpolo team that was doing well, suddenly everyone would be a fan of waterpolo, even if no one ever cared about the sport :S Sad but true. Oh, and also, obviously, when they stop winning they axe them. Like it never happened, or worse.

No, I didn't install that. I put the rug. Gotta have a wooly rug. It feels like home. Chicks dig it too (which honestly is a good reason to do anything).

The fact that it didn't work makes it even more funny. :p

You don't need to tell us we're awesome.
(Uh oh...looks like Ego hasn't been doing her job )
Yeah, my dad is a soccer FANATIC. He comes home from work every day and watches MLS. Which is why we don't have a TV in the first place, because Mom didn't want him to spend all his time watching sports...hooray for internet.
Just realized that two of my brothers are out playing soccer as we speak. Better than watching I guess, huh?
(I was a grass-gatherer throughout my short career in the sport. I was probably the least agressive player on record. I had fun but I cringe remembering how awful I must have been...)

This is almost exactly what my Turkish friend said, except he's one of those people. (In Turkey of course)
