Generic banter thread

June 26th, 2010
I have no idea if anything of the sort exists but surely we need somewhere to actually talk / interract instead of going off on tangents about blueberries on a photo of a car -_-

So, hi :D happy weekend!
June 26th, 2010
Eaten any nice blueberries lately?
June 26th, 2010
Can't say I have, no. How about yourself?
June 26th, 2010
Don't think I've /ever/ eaten any! They don't look particularly appealing, really
June 26th, 2010
I haven't either, to tell you the truth. I can tell from candy that I wouldn't llike them. Cherries are heaps better :D
June 26th, 2010
Hrm not too keen on cherries either, or most things of that nature in fact. In unrelated news though, and sticking with the "general banter" I just decided that The Termannieator would be another good username for you
June 26th, 2010
Black cherries are pretty amazing, though. The others, not so much.
Haha, I like that :D I've had so many variations as screen names... the Anniehiliator... Annie way you want it... Anniemal
June 26th, 2010
What d'you mean? Blueberries are great!
June 26th, 2010
You're biased >_>
June 26th, 2010
Bah, South Korea are out of Le World Cup :(
June 26th, 2010
England tomorrow! Cheer up :3
June 26th, 2010
^_^ Supporting England's mandatory, South Korea I was behind because I liked their attitude, which makes them going out a bit sadder... maybe?
June 26th, 2010
Ed
Anyone got any photos of a car on a blueberry?
June 26th, 2010
Dried blueberries are surprisingly good.
June 26th, 2010
Blueberries are awesome . . . eat them every morning lately with yogurt, a banana and grape nuts : )
June 26th, 2010
rofl, blueberries
Ed, wouldn't that be something?

So Steve, are you going to a pub tomorrow, then?

June 26th, 2010
Not planning to, nope. Have stuff to do at home so don't want to waste those hours needed to get a decent seat when I could be doing stuff! Cheaper this way too...
June 26th, 2010
Good thinking. My sister's husband told me he'd read a story in The Sun, if I'm not mistaken, about a pub a few minutes close to one of the stadiums that sold out of beer three hours before the England match began, two weeks ago.
June 26th, 2010
Haha! Madness! What are your plans?
June 26th, 2010
I'll probably end up at my sister's place watching it too... although who knows - they've abandoned me today :(
June 26th, 2010
Aww :(
June 26th, 2010
I know, right?
June 26th, 2010
You'll have to come down here, my TV's too big for one person anyway :p
June 26th, 2010
Also, your General Banter thread appears to be an MSN Messenger conversation window at the moment
June 26th, 2010
It's a date :D I'll catch the next flight out :P
June 26th, 2010
Hey, you and I have been holding back on vague topics we care to discuss for too long!
June 26th, 2010
Woohoo! I'll save a space on my sofa ;)

Yeah, you're right, we have. It's been mighty good of us to hold out this long, I think.

So, Ghana versus US and A is about to kick off - who do you fancy?
June 26th, 2010
Welllll I was born in Africa... so I'm going with USA b/c I enjoy their televsion :3
June 26th, 2010
How about you? And yes, we're quite the... erm... patient... err... nvm >_
June 26th, 2010
I like the little switcheroo you did there, very smooth :D Africa and Cyprus, interesting...

I think... I think I want Ghana to win because I've seen them play quite nicely, but also US and A just because it'd be so fucked up for them to make good progress! So I'm a winner either way. I think Ghana will clinch it though
June 26th, 2010
Well then, you'll walk away from this a happy man either way :)

Was it Nigeria that played a few days back? They all looked really sad afterwards :( I felt terrible for them.
June 26th, 2010
Nigeria did play a few times yeah, don't remember seeing them looking sad though!

A good start for Ghana, also! Go Ghana!
June 26th, 2010
Oh, when they lost, I mean. I think it may have been Friday?
June 26th, 2010
They drew 2-2 with North Korea on 22nd, lost 2-1 to Greece the 17th, and 1-0 to Argentina the 12th, so they could've been looking sad after any of those ;)

(I'm doing a sweepstake thing and I wrote the website that's running it, so have all the match results close to hand)
June 26th, 2010
Haha, it's no wonder they're so down :/
June 26th, 2010
If Ghana can hold on to this I can see them taking out Uruguay too and making the semis
June 26th, 2010
Anyway let's get back on topic and be more off topic - what time is it over there?
June 26th, 2010
12:25 Pacific Standard Time (California)
June 26th, 2010
Hmm, you think? It's 10:30pm and my siblings have remembered me :D I'm off to get my nom on. How's the match?
June 26th, 2010
Ghana doing well, USA really not playing well at all. Enjoy your noms!
June 26th, 2010
Yay for Ghana winning :)
June 26th, 2010
I have flashbacks to the longest Wimbledon match ever, as I watch comments fly back and forth from THE Steve and Annie...
June 26th, 2010
Hahahaha, well then you ought to join in :D
June 27th, 2010
A three-way tennis match, this should be interesting. Also we need timestamps on these posts, not just datestamps!
June 27th, 2010
Blueberries? Tennis? Soccer? Banter? How many pancakes does it take to build a house?
June 27th, 2010
You looking into building a house?

May I have my own room in it? :3
June 27th, 2010
Oh and yes, we can just leave the time manually >_>


02:52am
June 27th, 2010
Manual time only works if you state what part of the world you live in. :) *volleys the ball back into the fray*
June 27th, 2010
No clue about sports or anything, but I can still throw in a time. 11:28 PM, Florida, USA.

How are all of you folks doing? And I cannot believe that 2 of you haven't had blueberries.
June 27th, 2010
I'm still awake... :(

05:28am, the bloody A14 again, UK!

Ghana played well, from what I saw (which wasn't a whole lot!) and tomorrow's - no, today's - game should be very interesting... If I can get up in time for it!
June 27th, 2010
11:00 p.m.
Hey!
June 27th, 2010
I'm about to up the timestamp game and you don't even know. Get ready.

07:27 +0100

Oh I went there. Say hello to my little (UTC) friend (offset)!

Time to hit the gym.

Shelley you may not be hot on sports or anything but I read your profile and you mention gaming, what are you into?
June 27th, 2010
Steve, you wake up WAY too early mate... 09:03 (UTC + 1)
Come to think of it... even now is way too early
June 27th, 2010
Early gym tips are my current obsession! They're working out quite nicely. Plus, lots of coding to do today so early start is good for this too...

10:40 +0100
June 27th, 2010
Good morning, folks!

Don't even think I've seen blueberries anywhere, actually.
And so early on a Sunday, Steve?

Furthermore, 13:47pm (Limassol, Cyprus)
June 27th, 2010
i like turtles
June 27th, 2010
For an African Cypriot your command of English is exemplary!

And yus, I do early morning gym trips four times a week. I figure there's stuff I'd rather do than gym trips in the evening, and getting up an hour earlier isn't so bad, so I essentially get them for free, time-wise. Free time!
June 27th, 2010
Turtles are great, yes. I'm contemplating getting a pet tortoise but I don't know an awful lot about them :s

Thank you, Steve :D my first language, actually. Haha :)
That's one way of looking at it... good for you.

- 16:42pm (skipping the match today, fyi... but goooo England)
June 27th, 2010
Oh, how could you!
June 27th, 2010
Germany on fire!!
June 27th, 2010
Oh, come on... you understand. I can't stand to watch a room full of adults cry, haha
June 27th, 2010
Steve:
I tend to play anything I can get my hands on. Mainly on the 360/PS3/PS2 but I do play the Wii occasionally and my SNES when I have it around. I don't really have a specific type that I only play, but I do tend to play a lot of shooters and RPGs. Currently playing or just played Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, Red Dead Redemption, Dead Space, Dragon Age, Fatal Frame, Oblivion and Katamarie. I'm assuming you game as well?
June 27th, 2010
And the time 11:56 AM. :] I don't get up crazy early. Haha.
June 27th, 2010
Oh wow, you do keep yourself busy! I was avid in the SNES & N64 eras, then discovered Half Life & Counter Strike, lost a few years to them, and if you ignore Nerdcraft I haven't played much since :/ I'm about to quit Nerdcraft too, due to it being: shit. I'm partial to a bit of Forza 3 on my 360, mind, being a petrol head. Have you ever tried a PC FPS, or stuck to console ones? I couldn't go back to a joypad after experiencing mouse+keyboard!

Annie, hehe. We were utterly terrible. Gnnhh.

Seventeen-oh-five pee-em plus-zero-one-zero-zero
June 27th, 2010
I hope England had fun in ZA though :)

19:07pm
June 27th, 2010
i love generic banter! Criminal Minds is my favorite show. :3

mmm bluberries.

12:16 EST.
June 27th, 2010
Hahaha!

Days of our Lives taught me English :')

19:18pm

UGH maybe I should've gone to the pub... I'm bored
June 27th, 2010
Oh how could I forget to mention my dear Orange Box. :] Half Life 2 owns my soul. I've never had a good enough computer to run the good PC games, so I've grown up on console. My fiancé used to play more PC games, but I'm getting him into more console. He'd try to convert me if we had the means. I've played a few games on there though, and I didn't like it. Just because I kept forgetting the controls, since they aren't familiar to me. Give me almost any game on any console and I can pretty much intuitively guess the controls since it's what I've grown up on.

I do want to give PC's a try though. I was installing FEAR when my friends stupid little dog knocked my computer over and messed that up. It seems the world is stalling my dip into PC gaming. Well...gaming other than the Sims. Haha.
June 27th, 2010
Which is more embarrassing to admit to playing, The Sims or Nerdcraft? :P
June 27th, 2010
Wait, is Nerdcraft like WoW?

bf slept through my 21st birthday because he was up all night playing WoW D:
June 27th, 2010
Yeah Nerdcraft is my name for WoW, to try and get the message across that I know it's nerdy as hell and hopefully that makes it less embarrassing?! Maybe...

Oh "wow". I hope you gave him a slap. Or lots of slaps.
June 27th, 2010
Oh I see... and no, you have not redemmed yourself just for acknowledging it :P

I opted for the silent treatment and then he got mad at me for getting mad at him!! Seriously, how do men think??
June 27th, 2010
Bah :(

Haha! I know how I think (excellently!) but I can't speak for the rest I'm afraid. ;)
June 27th, 2010
Eh no worries... c'est la vie!
June 27th, 2010
Tout le monde!
June 27th, 2010
biblioteque!!
June 27th, 2010
steve, I know what you mean about not wanting to go to the gym in the afternoon... I try to head off during my "lunch break" at 3pm a few times a week. Went to the beach today and even stopped by a fruit shop, but no blueberries in sight!!!

23:39 UTC + 1
June 27th, 2010
Blueberries?

Its all about Satsumas.
June 28th, 2010
WoW is probably worse just because it's not as widely accepted as The Sims. You tell someone you play The Sims and they usually say good things. You tell someone you play WoW...and...yea. Haha. :p A bunch of my friends played WoW, thankfully most of them have stopped. I played it for like...a month and stopped when me and the guys account I was on broke up. I didn't see the appeal.
June 28th, 2010
You should have stayed on and screwed everything up :P

June 28th, 2010
Hahaha. Would've been a damn good Youtube video. XD But I broke up with him, and there was no blood shed in the process, so I let him keep his obsession. His whole family played together, it was weird going over there and seeing them scattered throughout the house on their own computers in their own world.
June 28th, 2010
Oh they'd fall apart if you touched their stupid toon.
June 28th, 2010
Yeah, ok, I guess you're right, Nerdcraft is more embarrassing. In my defence I only started it because all my old Counter Strizzle homies migrated to it... now they've mostly left.

"Here are blueberry's" I light-heartedly point you at this :P And no that looks like an oversized-rabbit-poo milkshake or something :)

Satsumas I can jive with, they're pretty cool guys.

Zut Alors! 07:49 +0100
June 28th, 2010
Today was dreadful :(

- 8:32pm

June 28th, 2010
are you guys determined to keep this thread going forever? lol
June 28th, 2010
Yes. Forever. And. Ever.
June 28th, 2010
Always.

Ugh, I dunno where to begin. I don't really want to divulge all in here though so let's just say I could really use a hug :/

00:26am
June 28th, 2010
Aww! If it helps, I've had a shitter of a day too, with more in the pipeline. Bleh ._.

22:44
June 28th, 2010
I'm sorry to hear that, Steve :(

We ought to have a generic group hug now

01:22am

Shower and bed time! Night all.
June 29th, 2010
00:32

Time to drive another hundred miles, so I, too, can go to bed!
June 29th, 2010
My fiancé got to try to fix a sprinkler, and that took most of the day and it's still stupidly spraying the driveway because it's not listening to the "only spray 180 degrees. /Sigh

But I got Dead Space for the 360 in the mail. :D But I forgot to mail the wedding invites because we hibernated until 2 PM. :[

7:32 PM
June 29th, 2010
this thread will life....FAHEVAH!!!

Yea, today wasn't the greatest either. Ran around like my head was cut off like a chicken.
June 29th, 2010
ok here is some mindless banter. I said to my daughter to take some good pictures today so she could post on 365 and I said it like three six five. I was told that is not how's it said it is three sixty-five haha gotta love 12 (that's twelve not one two)year olds. So I got to thinking how I ALWAYS say three six five and just assumed everyone else did as well. so how do you all say it?!
June 29th, 2010
on my way to buffet de chocolate tonight! woohoo!!! http://www.buffetdechocolat.com/

17:28
June 29th, 2010
I say three-six-five too :)

19:31pm
June 29th, 2010
Oh man, Weng. That looks amazing. We should definitely hold the next meet there. Definitely. The next meet. Definitely.

I say it "thirty-six five" which is a lie. I actually say it three six five which is clearly the only way to say it and anyone saying it differently should be shot.

18:28 pizzlemizzle

Oh actually I just got struck by an idea for an Actual Serious Thread, isn't that something?! Let's go post it...
June 29th, 2010
Are you saying my thread isn't serious?
June 29th, 2010
:P I wouldn't dream of suggesting such a thing! Just that mine is... more serious?
June 29th, 2010
BLASPHEMY D:
June 29th, 2010
I must contribute to this thread of awesome. Quite serious in all its discussion.
June 29th, 2010
Thank you Zachary! And you just made it all that much more awesome :')
June 29th, 2010
Hey anything this threads lacks in seriousness it makes up for in awesomeness ok
June 29th, 2010
*thread
June 29th, 2010
Oh, Steve! :3 *kicks dirt*
June 29th, 2010
Also, 23:56pm -_-
June 29th, 2010
to quote the steve tl:dr
June 30th, 2010
@How many pancakes does it take to build a house? - Let me check with my husband. He used to work for IHOP! LOL!

As for blueberries - YUM! Apple Hill (not just apples but the apples are AMAZING) has fresh blueberries ripe and ready for the picking. Mmmmmmm

As for soccer - yeah, can't add anything here other than I can't stand the insect buzzing noise of the stupid horns while my husband is watching.

Randomness added! Fun!

Oh, and I say three sixty five when discussing the site. LOL
June 30th, 2010
I say "three sixty-five".

*yawn* so yet another crazy day. And another one tomorrow. I suck at talking to people :(
June 30th, 2010
definately three-six-five. Anything else is just weird :)

10:28am
June 30th, 2010
and yes steve, we should do it there or somewhere else chocolicious
June 30th, 2010
Am thinking the 365 gods should maybe put an IRC chat section onto this site so those of us who have things to share will have a place to do so.

Blueberries.....can be yummy but stain your dentures, other old peeps
Soccer......not a big fan
365......am SO IN LOVE with it...
Y'all.......are like friends and family to me. I applaud when someone I knows makes the "Popular Page".
Question: Is making the "popular page" the thing that drives you? I try so hard to not let that be my goal, though we all need validation and that certainly does give us that.
June 30th, 2010
I certainly know how to kill a party. =) Everybody went home......
June 30th, 2010
An IRC channel is a good idea. I'll open #365project on DALnet now, and idle there, if anyone fancies popping along.

Making the popular page is good but generally any positive feedback I get is good because it means other photography-minded sorts appreciate what I'm doing, which hopefully translates to me getting better at it, which is why I'm here.

19:29 GMT
June 30th, 2010
Half way to Friday :D
June 30th, 2010
I strive to get on the popular page Mary! I love the excitement of looking and seeing it on there with all those other AMAZING shots! I certainly don't think mine are quite as good as many that are up there!

I say three sixty-five. Definitely.

I love Blueberries

I used to play soccer. But I went more the way of Baseball. Go Orioles!
June 30th, 2010
Even closer to Friday! I'm having Friday off. A friend is coming to stay for le weekend. It should be: major.
July 1st, 2010
Making the popular page is definitely nice but doesn't drive what I post. (As is very very clear today!). Chat or private messaging would be really really nice!!!
July 1st, 2010
interesting thread idea Annie.. thats all i have at the mo.. :)
July 1st, 2010
enjoy your friday off Steve! I'm sitting at work doing work like stuff.. bleh

13:24 UTC + 1

Aaron: Do you have a problem?
Me: Yes.
Aaron: Yo, I'll solve it. Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it.
Me: XDDDDDDD

And this was right before me and my fiancé discussed how I used to watch Pokemon, Digimon and Yo-Gi-Oh. Does anyone else miss those shows? XD

4:14PM /Georgia

And it's already Sunday >_< gah
July 18th, 2010
:D :D :P

Is it madness like SPARTAAAAAAA?! :P

Yeah this is a little side project, external to main work... so has to be done evenings and weekends. S'all good, though :)

Yeah I did wonder where you'd gotten to, went all quiet!

Do you got a nice relaxing Sunday lined up, to make up for le long le week?
July 18th, 2010
Moreso than Sparta! :o

Ohhh, I see! Did you miss me? :3

Pretty much, yeah. :D How about you?
July 18th, 2010

More working! Although I did "warm up" on TF2 for a couple hours...
July 18th, 2010

Haha, you would! *glare*
July 18th, 2010
What's wrong with TF2?! ._.
July 18th, 2010
idk what TF2 is but it sounds like a vidja game
July 18th, 2010
Hehe, indeed it is :p
July 18th, 2010
Oh, you!

I'm off to bed - have a fantaaaastic day tomorrow :D
July 18th, 2010

July 19th, 2010
Thank you much :)

So, don't keep a brothuh in suspense... how was it? :D
July 19th, 2010
My day? Well... was ok I suppose... yeah it didn't measure up to fantaaaaastic sadly :(

But y'know, it wasn't terrible either :)

How was yours?

Also it is BLOODY HOT and I am considering eating some TOAST and maybe A CUP OF TEA what do you think to this plan?
July 19th, 2010
I'm sorry to hear that :( but at least it wasn't terrible.

Mine was frustrating >_<

It's BLOODY HOT here too D: you should totally have Nutella on your toast... yes, that'd be a brilliant idea :)

I didn't have nutella on it! I don't really like the stuff... O_o

Ok so I have had beers and won no money at the casino and been to a lap dancing place and then had a mad bike home for ten minutes. It's 1am and oh boy

Hehe, yes, I did a little. Was feeling it yesterday but it's all good again now. :P

Nutella! I don't even know, y'know. Maybe I've never tried it. I know I've had chocolate spread before, and it was pretty rad, but I think I tried nut-based stuff and it just tasted weird... O_o

It doesn't taste nutty... it tastes... AMAZING :D haha

Oh and you have an email, sir :) I didn't give my identity away though >_>
