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 don't think an amplifier is going to make any difference there. :smile:

:smile: I never did figure out what that thread was supposed to be about.

P.S. Are you starting to chronicle a "Best Of" series of thread kills? :-p That reminds me that there's an unfinished story about Dave out there somewhere. So many threads, so little time. :rolleyes:

I like standing on the hill in the city before evening in the summer. It is very beautiful. Everything is so distinct and sharp in the soft warm light. You can look down onto the bay and see the bridge and the birds flying before it, and everywhere you look there is so much detail and space.

Some people seem to be able to make the comment that just ruins a conversation. I've gone back to the last 100 or so really dead threads and counted up how many times each person was the one named as the last poster. Here's my list of PFs best thread killers:
1)with 21- franzneitzche
2)with 15- Moonbear
3)with 12- tribdog
4)with 9-tie-Ivan Seeking and Tsu

Honorable mentions go to:gokul, JasonRox, chrono and mattmns.



ohh.. ohh.. so that's what this thread is about

I like that post. It paints a picture in my mind.

You were off in that haze of newly discovered love. :biggrin: We passed it about a week ago.

All it needs is some ripe, juicy fruit and a comfortable breeze caressing your naked body as you sleep and...oops got carried away. :rolleyes: :-p :biggrin:

I mean, Yes, it is a nice post. It actually does a nice job conjuring a picture of a nice spring evening.

It does. I can just smell the salt air. :cry: I miss the coast! This is the time of year we'd be getting the boat readied for summer; ah, the joys of playing with the lead paint scrapings that littered the sand in the boat yard (long after lead paint was banned as a housepaint, it was still available as bottom paint for boats).

Just think what a genius I might have been if I wasn't dumbed down a bit with lead paint as a child. You'd need sunglasses to shield your eyes from my brilliance. :cool: But, I guess my parents knew the world wasn't ready for that. :biggrin:

Yeah, two omnipotent beings are too much for this puny planet. One of us would've killed the other if you'd reached your full potential.

Maybe, but until you post pictures, I'm still claiming I look better in a dress. (You do realize that you're NEVER going to live that down, right?). :biggrin:

I don't know what kind of snorkel you've got, laddie, but I can't see mine from here. :shy:

Snorkel? My proboscis is perfectly normal, thank you very much. My eye stalks happen to be exceptionally long and I'm rather sensitive about that fact. You have no idea how much I was teased in grade school.

Moonbear said:
I hadn't thought about it that way before! What if the thread killer thread isn't a thread FOR thread killers, but a thread that kills other threads! Has the threadicide rate been increasing since the arrival of this thread?

Eventually the killer thread will become so huge that there won't be any room for anything else. It will achieve a critical mass and we will all be doomed!

How can I move a thread I creted to a new category?

With one very notable exception, I'm not really into bears. :eek:

I had to throw that one in there. I'm partial to the pigeon one myself.
Speaking of which, the doves and finches have either been fighting over olives or trying to mate all over my back yard today.

Ooooh...threadicide. I like it. We should add it to the favorite word thread. :biggrin:

Yeh, I made a joke once about "string-jacking" and no one got it!

Artman beat me to making the comparison with your earlier description, though he added the part about a naked body (such a guy), and I thought about embellishing the mating of birds in my yard, but never mind.

Yeh, and asbestos--though better than eating off lead plates like they did in the Middle Ages, and who know what may be discovered yet to explain generations younger than us.

It is frightening to wonder what Greg does with all our littering in his server(s).

Anyway, I was doing some cleaning today and found left-over Easter candy...

I think I'm safe enough. Mountains make fairly decent sound baffles. It's your poor neighbourhood that I'm concerned for.

Quit teasing me, dammit! You know as well as I do that I couldn't figure out how to dress up as a breeze if I used every gram of creative genius at my disposal.

I've never seen you in a dress, and I've never seen Smurf at all, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and cast my vote in your behalf. :wink:

I believe there's a new treatment for that wherein they can simply shrink them back toward your face without having to excise segments. You should look into it (no pun intended).

If you're not sure of the difference, I'd like to contest the ownership of some melons...

I fear that genetics alone will be sufficient.

Everyone can see his or her nose, particularly clearly with one eye closed. No eye stalks required.

I can't. With both eyes, it absolutely isn't visible at all. With either one by itself, I can see a flesh-coloured mass. If I have my glasses on so's I can see that close up, the frame is in the way. :-p

Prey often have their eyes set to the side of their heads for wider peripheral vision. Its alright though, this way you'll be able to see Artman coming from any direction. If you don't smell him first. :biggrin:

As a matter of fact, no. Please elaborate... :-p
