MoonCat's Magnificently Mythopoeic Random Banter #154

[MoonCat]

Random Banter
Mythopoeic means giving rise to myths.

Welcome to the new spiffied up Random Banter! This new model comes with free cookies and a complimentary chocolate to each user of our fabulous thread. Please take the time to identify the thread rules, located in a spoiler directly below you.

Spoiler

Show

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.

In order to properly enjoy this thread, if you feel inclined, please feel free to peruse our previous threads at your leisure. Just make sure to return them to their pocket in the back of the seat in front of you after use.

Thank you for using Random Banter, and please enjoy your thread. We are now at takeoff, so please sit back and ensure that your keyboard is in a takeoff position. Good-bye!

[loopy]

What is your least favorite vegetable?

[Partof1]

Onions, definitely. Cooked are tolerable, but raw onions are abominable.

[Skeppio]

Capsicum. Never liked it, never will. I like almost everything else though.

[MoonCat]

Onions, definitely. Cooked are tolerable, but raw onions are abominable.

I eat raw onions for breakfast sometimes...

Do avocados count? If so, it's them.

[Zaydos]

Probably onions.

Or broccoli. I spent weeks this summer eating it for breakfast every day and unable to politely decline but still yuck.

[Amiel]

Capsicum. Never liked it, never will. I like almost everything else though.

What is this I don't even; you're missing out, man.
Technically, they are fruit

[Blue Ghost]

There are several vegetables which I would rather not eat, but the only one which I will absolutely refuse to eat is bitter melon.

[Skeppio]

What is this I don't even; you're missing out, man.
Technically, they are fruit

Really? Wow. The More I Know.

And I'm not missing out. I've got plenty of other delicious vegetables to much on instead.

[Zaydos]

So what's everybody's favorite fruit then? Mine is corn. Yummy, delicious corn.

[Skeppio]

Hmm.... definitely a toss-up between grapes, watermelon and apples. Each of them are just delicious, and juicy! Well, apples are more crisp than juicy, but still great.

[Partof1]

I'd say watermelon or apples. Apples are tasty, and convenient, and watermelon is delicious, and fun to eat.

[Blue Ghost]

So what's everybody's favorite fruit then? Mine is corn. Yummy, delicious corn.

Strawberries. No question.

[Amiel]

There are several vegetables which I would rather not eat, but the only one which I will absolutely refuse to eat is bitter melon.

Unfortunately older Asian relatives always insist on one bitter melon dish as an accompaniment, invariably that is always the plate left untouched by "youngsters". Must be a generational thing and definitely is an acquired taste; personally, I wouldn't touch bitter melon with a ten-foot pole, and then only to tase it.

Really? Wow. The More I Know.

It's pretty cool; although per the same page, some capsicums are also vegetables, so it's a little from column A and a little from column B :)

And I'm not missing out. I've got plenty of other delicious vegetables to much on instead.

I'm so manly I eat them raw


IRN, I like eating raw onions. I like eating sour foods so much I shed sour tears.


I actually don't have a favourite fruit; hopefully not durian, though I hear it's delicious, utterly delicious but smells absolutely like cow rancid/feral.

[MoonCat]

Peaches possibly. But it could be pumelo, or some other fruits.

[Cealocanth]

So what's everybody's favorite fruit then? Mine is corn. Yummy, delicious corn.

It's a tie between grapes and pomegranate. I love the flavor of both, but I'm allergic to the skins of the grapes and pomegranates are just plain messy. I mean, how many times have you gotten a pomegranate and your kitchen looks like a murder scene when you've opened it.

[MoonCat]

Oh, yes, I forgot about pomegranate. By the way, anyone wondering about the thread name? Try highlighting various areas of the OP.

[Zaydos]

New vocab!

Vocab I should have known since I'm a myth-nut.

[Amiel]

Oh, yes, I forgot about pomegranate. By the way, anyone wondering about the thread name? Try highlighting various areas of the OP.

Apparently the word was popularised by Tolkien but not coined by him as Wiki implies.
It means we should create our own mythos :D


ION, has anyone here tried durian?


IOON, I rowed the equivalent of 4000 metres today.

[Zaydos]

What kind of mythos? Will there be bloody infighting? A great war? Magical horses?

To the OON: 4k nice.

[Rawhide]

Funny story, I turned on the TV just in time for my favourite one, the one I'd said first last thread.

Some say he isn't machine washable, and all his potted plants are called Steve... all we know is, he's called The Stig.

I'd never actually see it before either.

[KuReshtin]

IOON, I rowed the equivalent of 4000 metres today.

I only did just over 2k yesterday as part of my gym session.
My shoulders hurt today.
Not because of the rowing machine, though. Bench press, Lateral pull-downs and shoulder press caused the pain.

[Orzel]

I am running on caffiene. I always get sick by February.

Also...

Take that you dumb stray dog. You chased the wrong guy late for work. Learn to run across a highway.

*No animals were harmed in the making of the post.

[Thufir]

Thread title gets +1 for awesome word.

My favourite fruit? Satsumas/Mandarins/Clementines/Small Orange-Like Fruit
Others can be more enjoyable sometimes, but you don't want to keep eating them. Satsumas, on the other hand, are pretty much the staple of my diet, and a good satsuma is truly wonderful.

[Moonshadow]

My favorite fruit is tomatoes!


Also, playing with an IRC bot at 1 am is more entertaining than it should be.

[TwoBitWriter]

My favorite fruit is a Gin and Tonic.

[Form]

Strawberries. They're delicious and I don't eat enough of them.

[Teddy]

Favorite fruit? Hmm...

I'd probably say pineapple. Pineapple is very yummy.

When it comes to prepared fruit (and such), I'd say cloudberry, as cloudberry jam is the best, period. Dad's English friend believes that we try to poison her every time we try to make her eat cloudberry jam. She's so silly.

[KuReshtin]

cloudberry jam is the best, period.

QFT!

Dad's English friend believes that we try to poison her every time we try to make her eat cloudberry jam. She's so silly.

Silly English people.

[dish]

ION, has anyone here tried durian?

An Indonesian friend force-fed it to me until I started liking it. I wouldn't call durian my favourite fruit, but I don't mind munching on it now and again. Sadly, my husband has forbidden me to eat it anywhere within two blocks of him.

I'm quite fond of durian. There aren't many fruits you could use as a murder weapon, but durian is definitely one of them.
