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.

it doesn't put my life at risk (don't forget the inflatable devices, er..um air bags), and if people get out of my way fast enough they will be just fine too. :-p
Alright... but I still think that there should be some kind of steering system.

I'm Back! :smile:

And you people (danger, SOS, Moonbear, Evo, Etc.) have a lot of explaining to do.

franznietzsche said:
You get hit on by artman too?
I have never hit on you franz. :eek:

But that is a particularly nice shirt you have on today.:biggrin:

No time to read right now. I'll check back later.

Thanks for channelling me while I was away Huckleberry. :biggrin:

I don't know about that, Danger. I'd rather have a rocket coming at me than a guided missile. Some things are better left to fate. I'd rather not have mine be 'crushed to death by M1 Abrams wheelchair.'

Uh huh. Pirate sugar? I think I've got some reading to do.

And Evo! Dressing sweet little Franzbear in a beaver pelt to go beaver hunting! Really. You should no better than that.

Beavers are out of season. :biggrin:

I dressed him as a beaver? (have no memory of doing this) Although that is brilliant. :approve:

Are you referring to the merkin? See Ivan's post #90. :smile:

Right--there are no brakes either.

My pleasure. Do you think there is enough room for the two of us here? Might be time for Artman to take a more permanent vacation. :devil:

Ofcourse not. Need all the space you can spare for a kickin' sound system and those green apple martunis you gals are always talking about.

Exactly! One must have priorities in order, such as a cup holder for my green apple martini. :biggrin: I'm still working on the sound system. I was using a headset with an ipod, but it gets in the way of my night vision goggles.

Oh, now that's something that still needs to be invented. A decent holder for a martini glass that won't tip over in the pool or let the martini get warm. :biggrin:

I'm starting to get the picture here. I see SOS, her torso protruding from the monstrous M1 Abrams wheelchair. Her long, blond hair is wild and windblown as she treads recklessly on autopilot, crashing one party after another attempting to refuel her supply of green apple martinis. The sound of "Hells Bells" blaring from her massive soundsystem shakes the neighborhood in prelude to her arrival. Peaceloving partigoers look up in wonderment, just in time to see SOS screaming like an amazon warrior woman, wearing her military issue nightvision goggles and a camoflauge tank top. As she steamrolls their humvees she flails her arms in triumph and manages to never spill a drop from her glass. In moments she is gone, leaving ruin and devastation and piles of olive pits in her wake.

You should consider writing. :smile:

Consider it? I'm relying on it. It's the only thing I'm semi-skilled at. This particular image reminds me of just about every Terry Pratchett book I've read.

P.S. Thanks :biggrin:

I didn't know you wrote. Is that what you do?

No. Just as a hobby. I'm not a professional. I'm just a lowly student, and hope to always remain that way.

Right! There are those cups with water-filled insolation that can be placed in the freezer. The cups will float, but still tip and spill. Let's face it, the RV rocks!

Very good analogy of my real life. :eek: You would have made great contributions to the story about Dave...

Evo said:
Artman, you're leaving?

I will take care of little Franzbear. Franzbear will be safe with me. :approve: We're going beaver hunting. Look at the adorable beaver costume aunt Evo made him. Can't tell him from a real beaver can you? What? Oh, that's so you don't frighten the other beaver, dear. :approve:
Naughty, naughty, naughty. Going on a beaver hunt while I'm on vacation.

I happen to love beaver. I keep my beaver gun clean and ready to use in case I see a beaver to go after. I've been on beaver hunting safaris since grade school. I'm currently on a long term beaver expedition and I caught one. :-p :biggrin:

Between this and your comment in the what to wear thread, it's not hard to figure out what's on your mind tonight. :wink:

Is this a personal choice, or just the age thing? And whoever thought up 'one in the hand is worth two in the bush' was either dislexic or stupid. I'll go for all three in the bush, and keep your hands for other things.

A local (maybe syndicated, I don't remember) weatherman once made the comment that if you don't wear your wig everyday, it's not a wig, it's a hat.

Just thought I'd mention that. :blushing: :biggrin:
