AI Thread Summary
The meeting at Genco Olive Oil Co. gathered heads from various families to address the ongoing issue of a problematic thread, referred to as the "thread killer champions thread." The Evo family was designated as the moderator, emphasizing the need for cooperation and respect among the families. Discussions included potential methods for permanently ending the thread, with some members suggesting creative and humorous approaches, including bribery with chocolate. Despite the lighthearted tone, there was a serious undercurrent of mistrust among families regarding who should handle the thread's demise. Ultimately, the consensus was to agree on a time for the thread to be locked, while acknowledging the challenges posed by its unexpected revival.

We have more important matters to discuss. The thread has given us the slip! Did anyone see where it went? :bugeye:

Which of you guys was in here goofing off when you were supposed to be on guard duty?!

Yep, it's a clever thread, just blended into the crowd and gave us the slip. :confused:

Hmm...I dunno. I thought we determined it was kevlar. What color is kevlar thread?

Kinda pale white.

Quick, someone change the color scheme here to black so we can find it! :smile:

I suspect the Evo and Integral families have kidnapped the thread.

Could very well be. That Integral does have beady eyes, and Evo... well, anybody who'd drink Tabasco buttermilk can't be entirely trusted.

I think we need to organize a raid on the mentor's forum and find our thread!

I should also point out that it hasn't gone unnoticed that it has disappeared as we approach April 1 (well, it's technically already April 1 here, but the thread disappeared a bit before then).

Lead on, McDuff! I mean, McBear. I shall follow you blindly, for I haven't the vaguest notion of where you're going.

<Unfurls battle banner>

{Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil... for I am the meanest son of a ***** in the valley.} :devil:

Darn! Neither do I. :confused: I was hoping someone else knew where the secret entrance was.

I guess we just have to wait for the ransom note so I know which family has the thread.

If it's the Integral family, I have this fine assortment of t-bone steaks and filet mignon all ready to toss on the grill.

If it's the Evo family, I have this wonderful chocolate-hazelnut flourless cake I made.

You could always ask Tsu. She's snuck into the Mentor's forum before.

Only cause she can bribe Ivan for his password.

or torture Ivan for his password. :devil:

Would that be the one with the yummy pistachio :wink: :wink: icing?

So can Moonbear, just so long as Tsu isn't watching. :biggrin:

Is there a difference between bribe and torture?

This is ivan after all.

Darn! That reminds me too late of Ivan's trick of making icing that looks black using LOTS of blue food coloring so the victim's mouth turns blue and they pee blue. Guess I'll have to save that for another year.

Oooops. I just got back from my DAY job, and when I couldn't find any pizza, well, I ate some of the cake. :rolleyes: I was heading for a filet mignon, but I slipped on something...something all over the floor, and now all over me! Now I need to do some laundry (tee-hee, it's my turn at last!) Oh m'gosh -- where's the thread!
 
  • #171
Meh, that's okay, I already stole a piece of the cake too.

I don't even want to know what you slipped on though. Franz was in here earlier, and you know how those young guys can get. :rolleyes: I think he was supposed to be watching the thread and he got distracted with all that fabric softener.

I want it now damn it!
 
  • #175
Oooooh, Iiiiiiiivaaaaan! Would you be a darling and take a peek in the mentor's forum and see if Evo and Integral have our thread tied up in a corner there somewhere?

Okay, Franz, you watch our backs. Danger, when Ivan heads to the mentor's forum, we rush the door while it's unlocked. SOS, keep an eye on Franz. If we don't come back out, get Tsu to activate the emergency extraction plans.[/size]

What makes you think that something has happened to your precious thread? Why am I being accused of this, I am innocent, I would never mess with the thread killer thread.

Evo? EVO... EVO! I think they suspect something... What did you say that password was?

What the heck? I looked in on this thread for the first time and people are calling to have me tortured!

That's it; black cake for all of you!

[so you liked that idea moonbear? It works really good. :smile: ]

Aha! I never mentioned the name of the thread! How did you know we meant the thread killer thread if you aren't the guilty party, huh? :-p

Actually, Moonbear - I think you add red to the blue. You end up with a purple so deep that it looks black. Some women I've talked to also add some green. And CHOCOLATE! :biggrin: It would be fun to experiment with all the different colors in separate little bowls. :smile: I googled 'black cake icing' and found interesting stuff...

It's gone! Like dirt in clothing that's been washed twenty times in a row...

Or so I've been told, that dirt is really gone when clothes get washed twenty times with someone sitting on the washer. :rolleyes:

...It's gone! :cry:

Who's da doity rat what took da thread? We got ways of makin' you talk --awful, horrible ways. :devil:


Oh and hi Tsu, hi Ivan. :smile:

We wouldn't have to hunt if you'd listened to me in the first place. The next time I tell you to Lojac the sucker, don't laugh.

Wait, I'm trying to decipher the message...it says... if you be wantin' yer precious thread back, Artman must make up another song

PS - won't be hurtin' you none if ye be throwing in a few of Moonbear's flourless hazelnut tortes

Well, there you have it. The future of the "Thread Killer Champions" rests in the hands of Artman and Moonbear. :bugeye:

The internet is full of booty to pilage! Why our thread, there's no booty in there. It's virtually booty-free.

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:


Trying the crying again.

So, if I'm reading this right, Moonbear and I could have a joint kill of the Thread Killer Champions thread, just by doing nothing. :rolleyes: What do you think Moonbear? Share the Thread Killer Champion title? :devil:

It's alright, I just needed time. The song is ready. Where's the thread? We need some proof that it is still alive before I post the song, maybe you can send us one of it's fingers or something. I need some instructions for making the trade. Maybe another thread explaining the terms.
