Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around the humorous concept of "thread killers" on a forum, where participants analyze who tends to end conversations with their posts. 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.

I'm back - all the Democrats were at Starbucks, and you know I'm not going in there!

:smile: Yep, Starbucks is a dangerous place. They've managed to get me addicted to lattes, darn caffeine pushers! A cup of that sometime between 2 and 3 in the afternoon, and it gets me through the rest of the day. (Hey, it's good for me, it has milk in it. :biggrin:)

And P.S., I've got the thread now.

Lets have PF sell shares of stock to determine who in the end will inevitably own the thread. 51% will be the owner of the particular thread at hand and can close it at their own volition hehe.

Sorry, I did not realize what a brave thing you did for us. I will leave you with your thread, good day sir.
I suppose, since you have acknowlegded my potential sacrifice of all our lives, you may borrow my thread, but don't expect to keep it.

I guess we should tell you, shouldn't we sister? That we have been giving the thread small doses of arsenic in its tea. You see, it's lonely and we feel so sorry for it, don't we sister. When it does die, we will have it buried in the Panama Canal that Teddy has been digging in the basement, along with all the other gentlemen threads that we have helped. o:)

It won't be too much longer. More tea, thread? o:)

Here you go. <Hands the steaming beverage to the thread, who drinks it straight down>

What's that? you're not feeling well? Perhaps you should lie down. o:)

Teddy, we need another canal dug.

<Trumpet blast from the top of the stairs> "CHARGE!"

Oh dear sister, that is not one of our guest threads. You can't bury him in our basement.

Who is he and why did he put that imposter thread in our window seat? He looks like fran...

It's franznietzsche and he's come to try and take our thread.

You get out of our thread.

Now sister, be nice. Let's offer him some tea. o:)

I am going to be away for a long weekend. I am going to leave special instructions for the care and feeding of the thread while I am away. (I don't want anything to happen to it until I return late Monday.)

First of all, don't leave it alone with franznietzsche. he does not seem very responsible when it comes to caring for it.

Moonbear should be watched as well. She can be very naughty and this is a fairly young and impressionable thread. (Especially if the fleet's in.)

mattmns may borrow the thread, but he must bring it back.

Give the thread plenty of clean water (none of the muddy stuff they sometimes feed the political threads). Oh that reminds me, Russ may visit, but don't let him make the thread too conservative.

Keep the doors locked so Math Is Hard doesn't just walk in and take off with it (you know how she can be).

Other than that I guess that everything should be...sniff...sniff...
I'm so worried, there are so many trying to kill my poor little thread.
Be a good thread...sniff...sniff... Don't talk to any strangers (don't worry there are none stranger than us) and I'll see you when I get back.

Now, come here little thread, we need to show you the ropes, and we know hanging around sailors is just the thing for that. :biggrin:

Hey! I haven't even left yet and already Moonbear is bringing on the sailors! Next thing there will probably be a dozen or so partying nuns, forty or so penitent guys sayin their hail Marys and who knows what else!

You get nothing if you cannot name the movie.
 
  • #294
I don't know the name of the movie in English,simply because it was translated into Romanian and usually the mot-à-mot translation back doesn't coincide with the original.:-p

The thread kill is still undecided...:-p

And you can't say what it would be if you untranslated it? If you can recognize the line, you have no excuse.
 
  • #296
It should contain the words:"The Penitent"...:confused; :-p

The line has nothing to do with the title. Its actually a semi-obscure line, although the scene its in isn't.

I thought it's the line that Indy keeps reminding himself of as he follows the path to the grail in Last Crusade (when something swings and he ducks under it when going through the dark cave-tunnel thingy)...but Dex has me confused.

Dex doesn't know what he's talking about.

You're close. You got the movie, so you win.

Its what he says right before the spinning blades that he ducks and rolls inbetween. He reads his father's journal which has the clue "only the penitent man shall pass" in reference to the first of the three trials.
