Alright. Starting a new list here. It is "You might still be a newbie if..." So send 'em in. Once I get a bunch of lines, they're goin up! Email me!

��Runescape can be a very funny place, if you've got a good sense of humor. Andrew's sense of humor pervades the game at every turn - subtle, but there nonetheless. There were also a couple of popular threads on the RS.com General board, added to mostly by the self-proclaimed "board trolls," which I include here. I do not claim credit for any of the posts on the lists; I would list the names of the people who posted, but a) there are far too many, and b) a lot of the ideas were posted by multiple people. So here for your reading enjoyment, I provide the Humor of Runescape.

Runescape Humor

When you run your cursor over items, it comes up with "Take/Examine" or sometimes "Walkto/Examine". Examining items sometimes produces humorous results, like the examples below:
    Apron: "A mostly clean apron."
    Bed: "It's a bed - wow."
    Bones: "Eww it's a pile of bones."
    Big Bone: "This would feed a dog for a month!"
    Bullrush: "I wonder why it's called a Bullrush."
    Coal: "Hmm a nonrenewable energy source."
    Cooked Lobster: "This looks tricky to eat."
    Dwarf: "A short angry guy."
    Railing: "Nice safety measure."
    Red Spider Eggs: "Ewwww."
    Shortbow: "Short but effective."
    Torch: "It would be very dark without this."
    Post:"Why am I examining a post?"


You might have been playing RS too long when...

I don't know who started this topic originally, but it had nearly 1000 posts before the boards were reset. It was resurrected on the tip.it boards and ran for a short while, then died out, so I didn't get nearly all of them.
