AI Thread Summary

The top offenders identified include franznietzsche, Moonbear, and tribdog, with a playful tone suggesting a competition for the title of "thread killer." Participants debate the validity of counting last posts as a measure of thread-killing ability, arguing that it should be adjusted based on the total number of posts each user has made. The conversation shifts into a light-hearted narrative, likening thread-killing to a horror movie scenario, with participants playfully accusing each other of sabotaging discussions and attempting to "steal" the thread. The banter includes references to fictional scenarios involving dramatic rescues and humorous characterizations, maintaining a light and comedic atmosphere throughout.

Alright, alright. You just always have to have the best of everything, don't you? Well, you ain't going to get it, 'cause none of 'em are that great. I will, however, give you this one that I consider among the better ones. At least it's relevant to the thread.:rolleyes:
I've finally had a chance to view your comics. Those are great! :approve:

So, you're multi-talented, eh?

Thanks, ladies. I don't think I'm that good, just persistent. Some of them took a couple of days to do, and I never did get them into Photoshop to start tweaking and airbrushing. I can't draw people worth a damn, with or without Illustrator, so I try to concentrate on mechanical stuff. It feels really good to have them accepted. I didn't know if anybody'd like them. :redface:

*Huckleberry comes up for air*
It's taking forver to get through that member photo thread. I'm amazed by how attractive the photos are. I thought for sure everyone would be atleast middle-aged and nerdy looking. These people look great, and so many of them are so young. I've read some of their replies on other threads and I thought they were professionals in their fields. Where were people like this when I was in high school? almost 20 pages left to go. Be back soon I hope.

P.S. Great comics Danger. I'm lookin forward to seeing more. Very reminiscent of the Farside, but with that indescribable Danger flare. I think to myself when I see them "Something is very wrong with that man, but I like it anyway."

It's not like we need any more competition around here. Every time someone drops out of the running, it seems someone new shows up to take up the torch and continue on.

Oh, just to fill you in, we've already tried fire, explosions, electrocution, hunting accidents, lethal injection, gunshot wounds, drowning, and sexually transmitted diseases (franzbear was hanging around those sailors a little too long way back in the beginning of the thread). Oh, and those cookies have a secret ingredient out of a box with a nice pirate skull and crossbones. Oh, and we even tried boring the thread to death, that didn't work either. But back around post 2000 or so, the thread was declared immortal. Only another immortal can kill it apparently.
 
  • #3,322
Hmmm, I guess we need to kill each other then. We will soon find out who is immortal, and then we can let them kill the thread.

johnny has a gambleing problem, and he just can't lose for some reason. Now he's only 16 and his father and teacher both see this as a problem. They want him to stop before he loses big and gets himself into trouble. He had just recently won $500.

His teacher saw this and though, maybe if he didnt have money he won't gamble anymore. So after school she takes him to her office.

"Johnny, if you give me your 500 dollars ill make sure your school record is clean and you can never get into trouble in this school district again...what do you think of that?"

*johhny thought for a minute and smiled* NO deal, but i bet you my $500 that your pubes arent the same color as the hair on your head

*she smiled knowing she dyes her hair and nodded* its a bet

she takes off her skirt then her panties showing him that her pubic hair is black and points to her hair on her head which is blond, johnny admits defeat and gives her the $500 and walks home in shame. Later that day she calls his father

"i think i rid him of his problem, he won't be gambleing anymore"

His father responds

"No you stupid %@#$, i bet him $1000 that he could never get you to take your panties off for him"

This has nothing to do with anything.

Being in technical sales, this is how all of my days go. Anyone that has to work with clients or a design team will appreciate this. (I had to leave two pictures out due to file size)

Why not, right? Nothing better than a few hand grenades while trying to figure out the meaning of life and stuff.

As I said when I found out that I could use a signature, this is just a phrase that popped into my head a couple of weeks ago. I have no idea where it came from, unless possibly a flash-back of sorts to the time I parked a 152 in some guy's back yard. :biggrin:

I stopped in philosophy during happy hour, and no one was there--well except that one obnoxious guy. There's an official PF Lounge somewhere. :-p Last I heard people were trying decide on a name for it.

are you sure you were in philosophy section? Last time I was there after work they only had how-can-anyone-be-happy hour. It was depressing. I had a double sarte-tini and a camus-politan and stumbled out feeling worse about my situation than when I went in.
You really have to go there late after the philosophers have all passed out. Then it gets cookin'! :smile:

Are you sure it wasn't all a social experiment? Did you check those philosophers to make sure they were really passed out? The ones I've met can just eat a bunch of barley, rye and yeast and distill it all in their stomachs. Its a neat trick, but the gas is horrible.

And it almost hides the taste of anchovies...
 
  • #3,347
Does anyone like anchovies on their pizza, or was that made just as a joke?
I think it maybe happened once to some poor Greek fisherman who had nothing else to put on his pizza. And when his family saw what he did to their pizza they left and never returned. So the bitter man opened a pizza shop and sold pizza with only anchovies. To this day we still suffer his foul tasting curse. :bugeye:
There is also the little known rumor of the Italian pizza maker, baker. He made a sign saying 'FRESH PIZZA' and hung it out the window to attract hungry customers. Turns out he never learned how to read or write and the sign actually said 'FISH PIZZA'. The rest, as they say, is history.

Ok, that was lame. goodnight y'all... :zzz:

Ah...what a...um, different nighty-night story that was. I thought the Families vetoed anchovies? I'm pretty sure anchovies are not included in the PF free fish menu.

Oooh, fish pizza! We could start giving that out instead of plain fish as an incentive for new memebrs to join. I remember one of the greatest episodes of Space Ghost had sun bloated orange roughy pizza. :approve:

That was the episode where my avatar ate his nephew Raymond. :-p

There's a show that I'd totally forgotten about. I used to watch the original. A while later they released a new version with a stupid monkey in it. It sucked.
