AI Thread 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.

It says that you can submit your own characters in Flash. That opens up a whole new dimension of weirdness, especially if Art gets hold of it. (He can't be himself though; the owners have to approve everything.)

I thought I had a final this morning. The syllabus said May 19th. So I went to the class this morning and nobody was there. (I've missed a few classes the last two weeks.) So I went to the front desk and checked the schedule and I saw that the final had been rescheduled for the 17th. I MISSED MY FINAL!

So I emailed him and he called me late this afternoon. Thankfully I get to take the test Monday morning about 30 minutes before he has to turn the grades in.

That ranks right up there with those nightmares of giving a presentation for class and realizing you have no pants on. That's what the syllabus is for though. Since the date was on it, you can't be expected to show up 2 days early!

I'm not upset. It doesn't inconvenience me much to show up Monday. It's a nice walk to the school and I enjoy it. As long as he doesn't cancel everything will be fine.

You have that dream about showing up in school with no pants on too? Wanna trade dreams?

I'd have thought that was more of a fantasy for you. :-p

Huckleberry no sneak.

It is. But it would be a better fantasy if I could see Moonbear be embarrassed in public with no pants on. I imagine a classroom setting and everyone is staring and I, of course, have my towel, but won't give it to her. So she has to chase me around the room.

Yeah, that's better than me walkin' around asking "Hey, have you seen my wallet?" And then realize I have no pants on.

Thank goodness you got it worked out. But now I'm still worried about you Huck. Maybe I can think of a remedy...I think I'll call it SOS Sauce (A formula known only to me, and the dog. Oh wait, I don't have a dog.)

I wish I could have one of Moonbear's kittens--actually I would like two please. :biggrin: Hey, has anyone noticed I changed my signatures again... I changed these on Monday, and not a word.

I think there are only two. You're welcome to both of them if you can figure out how to fish them out from under my deck. I'd put out some food to entice them closer, but after reading Ivan's skunk thread, I'm worried I'll wind up with a skunk instead of a kitten. One of the people I work with owns horses and lives out in the country, so I'll ask her if she has any of those have-a-heart trap things that I might be able to lure them into. They look big enough to be weaned, so I wouldn't have to worry about trapping them without the mom and them getting hungry as long as there's food in the trap. Or maybe I'll just keep wandering out until they're used to me and I can just snatch them up by hand. I have no idea how feral they are.

Hey, has anyone noticed I changed my signatures again... I changed these on Monday, and not a word.
:redface: I didn't notice. If you change your signature, you have to change the colors too, or I'll never notice. :rolleyes:
But now that you pointed it out...:smile:

The kittens are really cute, but I can't get at them (they hide up close by the house I think, or maybe in the little space under the concrete slab that used to be a patio that apparently pre-dated the deck).
A sure way to make friends with wild kitties is to play with them. Feeding them doesn't seem to work. Anyway, I once tamed a wild litter by putting a string on a stick and tying a ball of tissue to the end of the string. You dangle the ball, or drag it on the ground in front of them, while the stick allows you to keep a distance they consider safe. Soon they'll forget you and give into the temptation to attack the tissue. Little by little they'll get used to you (over days) and as long as you never try to grab or catch one, one is bound to come up and rub against your leg at some point. Always let them come to you when they're ready, don't try to force anything.

Hard to play with them when they're holed up somewhere and I can't even see where they are! I only know they're there because yesterday I happened to catch them sitting up ON the deck during a thunderstorm (half of my deck is covered, so it was a dry spot to sit), but the moment I walked to the door to confirm that I really was seeing kittens, they disappeared underneath. The mom waited a moment or two longer, until I actually opened the door before she run underneath. She's a clever one...when I'm around, she's nowhere near her kittens...she's busy trying to get me to follow her instead of them, but you can tell she's really cautious about going too far away, so that's how I know they're still under there. I'm not a big cat fan, so I have no desire to tame the kittens to keep them, just catch them and their mom to get them all to the shelter and neutered...let them tame them if they want. We already have enough strays, and they're scaring away the song birds I'd rather have in my yard (not to mention the neighbor's dog keeps barking at them and driving me nuts...I thought the dog was just nuts barking at nothing for a while, now I know what he's barking at).

They acquired this dog over the winter; I think it was the one that belonged to their father who just moved to assisted living. Their last dog was an absolute sweetie; he only barked until I let him sniff me through the fence, and then wanted to visit and get pet anytime the gates were open. The current one doesn't seem to realize his territory ends at the fence line, so barks anytime I'm in my yard. If I walk up to the fence, he doesn't stop barking to sniff, so I'm not about to get any closer if the dog is that nuts. I haven't really seen those neighbors much to chat since they got the dog, but I noticed they put a lock on their gate since the dog's arrival, so I suspect they have reason to believe he's not going to be friendly to visitors.

You may have to re-establish your territory. Just urinate on your side of the fence line, he'll get the picture. If he still resists, drug him, put him in the sheep costume and invite Danger over.

Just make sure it's a good drug, and throw a muzzle on just to be on the safe side. Real sheep don't bite.

To Moonbear: Zooby is dead-on with the advice. I've had at least one or two litters of strays born at my place every year. For the most part, we ignore each other. They will eventually get used to your presence. Does your department have any portable cages that you could easily convert to traps?

If I wanted to keep the kittens, I'd take the time to do that. But it is time-consuming and I have no interest in keeping kittens (they have this bad habit of growing up into cats). Nope, can't take any animal cages home. That would probably break a million rules, and returning the cages would risk carrying back any diseases these feral cats might be carrying to the lab animals. I think it's pathetic this city doesn't seem to have an animal control office that I can call to come fetch stray cats. I called the SPCA thinking they might be willing to fetch the kittens as part of their spay/neuter program, but they said I have to bring them in myself. If I can't get them myself, I have to pay some pest control company to do it. I'm not going to pay someone to remove kittens. If there were skunks living under the deck, sure, that'd be worth paying someone to get them out of there, but not for kittens.

In that case, might I suggest that you enclose the under-deck area, if it isn't already, with temporary barriers like boards, rocks, or whatever with just one opening that you can put a cage in front of. Wait until the mother cat is inside, then put the cage over the opening. Shoot some smoke or something similar in from the other end. They'll for sure go out into the cage for air. Increase the smoke density until they can't go back, then just stroll around and close the cage. (Obviously, you need a cage with a sliding, rather than hinged, door.)

edit: All that you need to make a cage yourself is some heavy chicken wire and scrap wood. If you don't care about visibility, just wood is okay.

I think you guys can find the one that snorts, and they all look to be females (Danger), at least by the shoes (or else they've been raiding Smurf's closet).

Oooh, I just bought a new fan for my bedroom. I was looking at fans in the store when a woman walking by, pointed to one and said "get this one, it blows really hard!" She wasn't kidding, standing in front of this thing is like being in a wind tunnel.

It's the Lasko HVB (high volume Blower) fan. (grunts like the Home Improvement guy)
