    Thread
In summary, Franzbear is the most prolific thread killer in the forum. He has killed at least 12 threads and is likely responsible for 21 more. His ability to kill threads is not a direct outcome of the evidence (number of last posts). You have to at least factor in the total number of posts by each person (posts in GD) to get a more accurate representation of the killer instinct. Franz and Moonie have so many posts here, they are more likely to be the winning killers. You have to divide the number of kills by the total number of posts during the same period to get a corrected distribution.

No, no, the thbppbpth is a highly technical name with a fixed degree of wetness. It's fairly dry, actually, hence the opening and closing th's (a very dry sound). The wetter sounds have more b's and p's and more alternation between them--thpbpbppbbppbp! would be a fairly messy "raspberry," the general name.

I want a singing turtle gram. :cry:

I don't feel well today and I'm at work and nothing is going right. :frown:

I'd be more than happy to provide turtle (just don't try to name it 'Roger'), but I don't think that I can teach it to sing. (It likes humming, though.)

If you can get at least three turtles to hum in harmony, that will work.

I just got really bad news for a customer of mine. I have to call him and tell him that he won't have any internet connectivity tomorrow at his new location. He's a web hosting company. This will kill his business. I feel like absolute crap, even though I've done all I can do to push this through on an expedite basis. He is so nice. My head is about to blow up. I don't want to tell him. :cry:

On second thought, three turtles aren't enough, I need an entire turtle choir.

Moonbear said:
Hmm...that does work better than trying to figure out how to spell pppppbbbbtt! :smile:
I had the darnedest time trying to figure out how to properly spell the sound made by a boob smothering. Would it be Ahbulbububu, or Bpllllllbbbbububu, or more like Ahhhhhbuuuuuu? :-p

My turtle enjoys a good humming session as well, he just pokes his head up and smiles when the humming begins. :-p

Moonbear said:
Ah, so there's more than one spelling! Good to know. Must vary depending on the wetness of the Thbppbpth! :smile: (No comment about where you do your reading.)
That seems like Bill the Cat too--I always liked Bill the Cat.

:smile: I meant to compliment you on your mud wrestling narrative (LMAO), though I think the referee got a double dose from both of the voluptuous contestants...I wonder if he made it out alive. :bugeye:

Oh yeah, Bill the Cat was always blowing raspberries. I liked him too. :biggrin:

Yay finals are done, no more school for a few weeks.
 
  • #3,789
Those raspberries must have been very important to him... after all, when grit came to gristle, he preserved his tongue over his own life.

:redface: Well, they showed up at the lab here for my singing turtle-gram, and, well, um...I'm not ready to let them leave yet. They are just such fun little things to have around. :biggrin:

Mmmmm...okay, though not sure what good they'll do over the phone.

Evo: Hello
Moonbear: Here's your humming turtle-gram!
Turtles:
<<HMMMMMMMMMMMM>>
<<HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM>>
<<HMMMMMMMMMMMM>>

--Bill the Cat
That is a good combination of bill the cat and the Yuck smiley.
 
  • #3,804
No, it's just the Yuck smiley... I didn't change it. I just added the quote afterwards.
 
  • #3,805
WTF is bush talking for? They better air all of jeopardy or I will not be a happy camper. :mad:
 
  • #3,806
Artman, I can say with confidence that you are not using a mac.

First of all, do I seem anything like most men? Secondly, I felt I owed it to my fellow men to provide some color commentary of that historical event. :biggrin: I mean, I couldn't just sit idly by buffing the wax on my turtle, right? :rolleyes: :-p

Why do you say? By the way, I didn't mean that you literally combined them, it just looks like both.
 
  • #3,809
Because you quoted my giant smiley and it didn't come out all question marks.
 
  • #3,810
lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Also for those who are using Macs, you can use lowercase l's to achieve signficant color density.
 
  • #3,811
Here's an example of what that would look like:
llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

It does show them if I highlight and until I add my lines and send it.

But seriously, that's some good computer art, especially with the forum limitations.
 
  • #3,813
Yeah, there's no limit to what you can make here, except it has to be within the maximum message length, it has to have pretty low resolution, and using a lot of colors is tedious.

Really, though, the art here (except for the eye I posted a way back) was the art of the original smiley makers. I just transcribe them.
 
  • #3,814
Although you DO have a choice of 16 million colors...

After they pried his mouth off of... :rolleyes: well...they resuscitated him and they put him on oxygen. Three days later he stopped smiling. :biggrin: They think he'll make a full recovery with time and proper physical therapy. :smile:
