Midnight's Mutant Motorcycle Madness Random Banter #90

Midnight Son · 11-05-2007, 11:17 PM

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.
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!

Spoiler

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...Lets get cruisin'

If it's required, but we tend not to boogie well on motorcycles.

Ego Slayer · 11-05-2007, 11:22 PM

^: Simu'd!

For you, good sir, I will boogie.

I never found the Hot Topic-ers to be... the least bit interesting? It's the 'faux' part that really ruins it. Too cheap. Be creative with your gothiness.

SDF · 11-05-2007, 11:23 PM

Well Hot Topic is great if you don't mind being a consumer whore. I mean they are owned by the same company as A&F

Speaking of looks, oh man, I found these circular glasses that make me look just like John Lennon. Hee hee... I'll try to get a pic up.

Raistlin1040 · 11-05-2007, 11:24 PM

Awesome SDF. Awesome.

Serpentine · 11-05-2007, 11:24 PM

I believe I have seen a Hot Topic before, but I can't remember whether I entered it or not...

I must confess.
I like Emily the Strange v.v

Also I just use my friends' nail polish. Too much effort to get my own.

hyperfreak497 · 11-05-2007, 11:25 PM

@^My sister has the Emily the Strange book. It's actually somewhat interesting, although not extremely witty.

Hot Topic makes me uncomfortable for some reason. Never figured out why.

Serpentine · 11-05-2007, 11:26 PM

I don't know whether it's the same sort if discomfort, but I do too with some shops...

Ego Slayer · 11-05-2007, 11:26 PM

^: Simu'd. @SDF - Srsly? Didn't know that. Ew!

Pix pl0x!
Wait. Amotis is John Lennon... you can't be him too! I'll get you two confused!

I found these glasses that make me look like I'm wearing glasses!

Skippy · 11-05-2007, 11:27 PM

New RB already!!!

I don't really know about Hot Topic, so I'll just stand aside and listen. And Midnite, you should place a linky in the last RB to officially close it, isn't it right?

I've had similar experience with the punk scene in my hometown. It's pretty suburban, so kids tend to get their rebellion from mainstream sources like Hot Topic and H&M, so the concept of DIY is totally lost on 'em. It's tough, especially with all the bad music and fashion floating around the good.

Hear, hear!

*Applauds the astute and fashionable lady*

Dang I wish I'd got that pic. She was just so...incredible. Not often you see a girl with a mostly shaved head and think, "Daaaaamn that's sexy!"

hyperfreak497 · 11-05-2007, 11:30 PM

Hot Topic and Spencer's is all we have around here.

Hot Topic may make me uncomfortable, but Spencer's makes me want to wash myself with acid.

And, aaaaaugh! this happens everytime a new RB opens up! I want to participate, then I have to go (in this case, to bed), and I can never catch up when I get back.

Serpentine · 11-05-2007, 11:31 PM

Mmmm Goth boys... *droolage* (I'm normally just jealous of Goth girls v.v). There's far too few around here

Raiser Blade · 11-05-2007, 11:32 PM

Heh heh i just thought of the awesomest name for a RB that i start.

Linky's in the spoiler

Edit. oops, misread you. Yeah, I'll do it now.

Ego Slayer · 11-05-2007, 11:33 PM

No, he meant to post a link in Reina's thread to redirect them to this new one.

Skippy · 11-05-2007, 11:34 PM

Works for me, then.

Rockphed · 11-05-2007, 11:36 PM

Rockphed Dances with much vigor. You would think he was about to display something.

So, how goes the new thread?

Oh, also, *boogies*.

Death, your friend the Reaper · 11-05-2007, 11:40 PM

Hm, Efficient won the Melbourne cup.

I love horse racing, if just for their names

Name things

They called one Hoof Hearted, I would have bet on that one!

SweetRein · 11-06-2007, 12:08 AM

Eh, I like japanese gothic styles. A lot.
I think I've mentioned this a few hundred times before though.

ZombieRockStar · 11-06-2007, 12:17 AM

Thread #90!!

Think there's still a chance to get The Giant to make thread #100, or is that out of the question?

Yeah, I saw some pretty crazy goth kids when I was in Harujuku. But a lot of the ones I meet here just.. bah.

*talks with a goth kid*
Me: Hey, you like Bauhaus or The Cure?
GK: Bah who? I don't really like The Cure...
Me: Then who do you like?
GK: Oh you know, Marilyn Manson and ICP.

At this point I ruin his clothes when blood shoots out of my eyes.

AmberVael · 11-06-2007, 12:18 AM

Who knows? Maybe he'll show up, but maybe not.
And I am extremely sleepy, and am resisting the urge to go to bed... but I can't find a way to occupy myself and stop falling asleep.

wadledo · 11-06-2007, 12:24 AM

^: watch This a couple times.
It'll keep you awake.

Skippy · 11-06-2007, 12:28 AM

I'm still stuck on that song about the Pancreas that was posted in the last RB...

Rockphed · 11-06-2007, 12:31 AM

Radicalskippy, it is now time to die! Now I have that stupid song stuck in my head! Get it out!!!!!!!!

*Rockphed Slashes at Radicalskippy with a big axe*

Take that for polluting my brain with inane songs. Then again, it isn't the one about the zit. Oh, how did that one go...

And my pancreas isn't hurting anymore, on a related theme...
