The Corner.
So. There's been discussion about a certain nondescript corner on Artemis' Introduction thread, so here's the corner. Pretty much a place where we talk about random things.

We are getting five ninety-inch plasma TVs, one for the Xbox, one for the PS3, one for the Wii, one for the Wii U, and one for the DVD player. Or we can just connect one of these devices to the projector in the movie theater we know have in the Corner, if you like big-screen gaming. And we can watch big-screen movies. Actually, two movie theaters, that are really big, have really big screens, and we can view 3D in them using the 3D projector as opposed to the regular 2D projector, cause we have a bunch of copies of movies engineered in 3D that work only in our 3D projectors. Oh, and we have cable boxes that connect to the projectors so we can watch TV channels in the movie theaters, plus a concession stand that I will never eat from cause I'm allergic to most theater concessions. Thankfully, we can bring in our own food.
Oh, and we have really comfy movie theater chairs that recline and are really comfy and stuff.

I agree, it is getting costly. I prefer iPhones and iPads with every single iteration of Temple Run and PS3.
JDD's comment: Me too! Plus the Wii!

So, now that the corner has a Wii, a PS3, and an Xbox 360, plus iPhones and iPads with every version of Temple Run, the Xbox needs a Kinect sensor.
What games do all you wonderful folks think we should have? And who should we put on the iPhones contact list? And what should we ask Siri on the iPhone? Maybe all of these questions. I'm not sure Siri would be very helpful, though. She's not even a real person.

I would like it muchly if this corner contained popcorn. Not kettle corn, mind you. Popcorn.
(April 4, 2013 - 4:17 pm)
We must also have kettlecorn. And a TARDIS that is bigger on the inside, with a library in the swimming pool. And we need to invite Amy Pond and her husband Rory for a stay in the fabulous corner, to enjoy the hospitalities of the Chatterboxers. OH!!! And we all need sonic screwdrivers.
(April 4, 2013 - 8:04 pm)
There are TARDISes (TARDII?) that aren't bigger on the inside?
(April 7, 2013 - 5:35 pm)
We need more snacks. I can't eat popcorn, so let's see...
Seaweed, flavored seaweed, quinoa (Google it!), canned beans of various kinds, and hummus, plus chips and carrots. I like to wrap quinoa, beans, hummus and chips in seaweed and eat it all together like a burrito. And I mix quinoa with, hummus, beans, wild rice (we need that too) and other foods. I'm quite the mixer!

In order to gather funds for our corner, we need to sell stuff at the mini-bakery. Plus we should have a kitchen, and tables to eat at. What do you think our cafe/bakery should serve?
Random thing to talk about: I had a dream last night about the following story. Like, I dreamed I was reading the story and then woke up thinking I should write it (even though I don't really like the story a whole lot).
Here it is:
My name is Lewis Whitnickel. I'm 15 years old. Until recently, I was a student at Rupert Hunkloop Middle.
The reason? I did something stupid for a lot of money.
My friend Ben had caught a kitten outside. My parents might have let me keep it if I had asked. "Oh, so cute!" I said. I was about to ask if I could have it, when my totally obnoxious rival, Bla, came over. His name was short for Blake, but if you ever meet him, I don't recommend you call him that unless you like people putting you in headlocks and sticking their own boogers up your nose. He was from a wealthy family and spoiled rotten.
"Can I have the kit?" he asked. "No!" said Ben instantly. We all knew the kitten was not going to have a happy life in Bla's hands.
Bla pulled out a knife and held it to Ben's neck. "Let's try that again," he said menacingly. "Can I have the kit?"
Ben sweated. Bla pushed his knife in closer. Ben sweated some more. Bla put a bit more pressure on the blade handle.
"Fin... fine," said Ben, handing over the kitten. Bla took it. "Glad we could come to an understanding," he said to Ben. Ben walked away slowly. As soon as he was out of sight, I heard him running for his life.
I started to head to class, with no intention of getting involved or watching Bla subject the kitten to some terrible end, but he accosted me next.
"Would you like to swallow this kitten?" he said, with absolutely no sign that he would let me go if I said no.
I said no anyway.
Bla growled, "You get this kitten down your gullet, I let you live. You don't, I break every bone in your body. Deal?"
"No," I insisted.
Bla growled again. "Plus two thousand bucks?" When I refused again, he pulled twenty hundred dollar bills out of his pocket. "Swallowing it now?"
"No," I said again.
Bla put me in a headlock. "You got three days, punk," he said, and stormed off.
Bla was an idiot, but he was bigger and stronger than me. If I reported him to the principal, Bla would break my neck. If I told my parents, they'd send me to another school.
What could I do?
I'll write the next part later. Tell us all what you think so far.

Our mini bakery/cafe should serve cream puffs, baklava, cheesecake, tomato basil soup, homemade bread, and pasties!
(April 5, 2013 - 4:48 pm)
I like it--it's funny his name is Bla. Sound like Bah or Bleh. Onamonapeia!
(April 22, 2013 - 7:26 pm)
Oh, and we need an art studio for drawing pictures and our versions of the people we create while playing Add-on. Plus lots and lots of art supplies.
(April 5, 2013 - 3:43 pm)
Agreed. Until the shipment comes in, I will be playing Mariokart and crashing into cows.
(April 5, 2013 - 5:50 pm)
Yeah. And I'm going to play Mario Kart with you on the big screen in one of the movie theaters.

Admin, I think this comment to which I am replying was originally longer than it was... *in a friendly way* Care to elaborate? (Unless I'm wrong, in which case please disregard this notice)
Cappie says rrbm. Red rabbits do not bounce moodily, Cappie! At least not as far as I know.
The parts I deleted are topics we don't want discussed on Chatterbox. Someone randomly coming across one comment on a topic not suitable for CB might not read the whole thread and come away with the wrong idea about Cricket and CB. Some of our readers are as young as eight.

This corner is growing quite quickly.
