I once said, while my mom was helping me with a possible computer virus, something along the lines of "I was not just thinking of something involving golf balls." Then she started to laugh.

Same Troper and her family have a habit of saying odd things to make sure people are listening. We used to change what we were talking about mid-sentence to something that often started with "And the aliens..." or some such, but it's gotten to the point where we always notice when someone says something about aliens, so now we have to be more creative... and the emus agreed with the pink flamingos that this was hilarious... #QUOTE# And they were a dolphin and a... monkey made of... smoke... wearing a cowboy hat, respectively. #QUOTE# And make sure you travel with your iguana. #QUOTE# What is? ...The pandas? #QUOTE# ...And soy milk, and hyena butts.

Explanations:

I was talking about characters I unlocked in a game I was playing, which were actually E-10000G and E-10000R (two robots unlocked by having total play time reach a certain (large) number of hours).

Doesn't matter what Dad was talking about, because this was a COMPLETE non sequitur.

In response to Dad saying "Well that's odd... "

Last two things in a list of various items Dad was going to buy... the soy milk is normal, but the other...

This Troper also made a DeviantART journal entry about a bizarre WikiWalk she took (with an UnusualEuphemism she sometimes uses for the title), but was tired at the time, and ended the entry with one of these to make sure people understood how tired she was while writing it. #QUOTE# And I need to be heading to bed now. Make sure you only get information from flatulent flies you trust! Wait what?

This troper and her best guy friend regularly have entirely non sequitur conversations to confuse people and amuse ourselves. It all started with him telling me his mayonnaise "is just like the french fry-- just imagine it's blue!" I told him that it smelled like crunchy nuns and everything went downhill from there...

This troper was just browsing the good old internet when she heard her younger sister call out while playing the Wii, "No Kooshie [our cat], it's called cheese!" It probably makes sense to her, but...

Update from same troper: During her algebra class, she took the time to explain how to do a problem to a confused classmate. She then went back to her work, nonchalantly announcing "I like tacos."

During an awkward silence, someone blurted out, "Somebody say something!" This elicited "toenails juice," "squirrels," and "fried democracy."

This troper and two of his friends have non sequitur conversations about:

Beer and spinach trucks.

Viking-Squids that poison people with exploding sugar.

This Tropers classmate JP says these all the time. #QUOTE# Me: Whats up? #QUOTE# JP: I wanna go to Wal-Mart.

This troper likes to invoke this when its too quiet around him. #QUOTE#Everyone: (Is being silent for long time.) #QUOTE#This Troper: I ''really'' like cats. #QUOTE#Everyone: (Exhange weird looks, laugh, shrug it off, or coment back.)
