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.

Hey cronx, nice animations. I especially like the one with danger banging his head against the desk. That's what he'll be doing when he reads the last page or two of this thread.
Truly fantastic work with those little buggers. Wish I knew how to do that. Unfortunately, although I often feel like doing what you show, I can't. No desk. There's a little piece of plywood stuck under the front edge of my computer that's just big enough to hold a mouse pad and my ashtray. The keyboard is in my lap, and I'm not flexible enough to bang my head on it. (If I was, I wouldn't be wasting my time here.) :rolleyes:

Two dozen! Danger has submitted single posts with more than that! :biggrin:
You exaggerate, but thanks for the vote of confidence. I'll try harder in future. :biggrin:

Sorry, I don't get the probation reference.:redface:


Artman said:
What is that black thing doing to your turtle, cronxeh?
Preparing it for launch, by the look of it. :bugeye:

The guys in the movie Animal House were so "fun loving" (troublesome) that the dean of the college put them on "Double Secret Probation," a made up disciplinary action, so he could kick them out.

Okay, thanks. I don't know if I ever saw that whole movie. Not really my kind of humour. I vaguely remember something about a food fight, a car at 'ramming speed', a big cake, and some togas. Other than that... nada.

Of course it's not really his turtle. He's only trying to lure you in because he knows about Roger. It's really his gerbil with extensive make-up. Don't fall for it.

Danger speaks from experience. Did you ever get the superglue out of your beard?

I thought we agreed to keep that quiet. No, I bloody didn't. Why do you think I'm clean-shaven now?




That question does bring up a painful memory, though. I make all of my own appliances for Hallowe'en or costume parties. Everything is usually made of and attached with liquid latex. One year I didn't have any and there was no time to get any, so I attached the main facial piece with silicone sealant. It was all fine until this one girl in the bar decided that she was going to find out once and for all who was under the mask. She grabbed the rather prominent nose thereof and ripped it off. Took half the skin off of my face. :eek:

I'm really glad the pictures cleared before I looked at that post. Given the current topic of questionable male fashion, I might not have returned to this thread.

cronxeh- that looks like a Russian tortoise, Testudo horsfieldii (Agrionemys horsfieldii), am I right?

Evo is rather fond of chelonians so be prepared...

Roger. :cry:

I know Roger made it the 5 blocks to the Bayou and had a happy life. <sniff>

DocToxyn, we're still waiting for that new tatoo picture. (taps foot impatiently)

Naw... if that's what he'd been talking about, do you really think that I would have referenced something as large as a gerbil? :-p

:-p No, looking at the picture is definitely the best part. :approve:

That is really a nice tatoo, pretty good canvas too. :wink:

The turtle looks great, but couldn't you have housebroken it before it did that all over the rest of your body? :-p

I don't name my turtle. Its so slow that I barely stick around for a conversation :rolleyes:

By the looks of it, you are right, thanks

I had no idea what this turtle was until now.

Quick googling revealed operating temperatures to be between -30F to 108F. What an engineering marvel :rolleyes:

The Russian is quite popular in the pet trade, I have one of his cousins, a Greek. How did you end up with it, if you didn't know what it was? Did you collect it yourself?
 
  • #3,648
nah my mom got it for my brother, and since he is only 9 it ended up with me.. i mean it practically lives under my bed

i was sitting in my comfy recliner today when something bit me on the toe thumb. in an instance i thought it was a tarantula.. i yanked my foot up in the air 2 feet high, shaken, looked down and this s.o.b was just sitting there laughin his arse off

Oh, no, I'm sure seeing the actual picture is the best part! :biggrin: :!) :!) And my migraine finally went away; I think that picture really helped erase those speedo wedgie pictures out of my aching head. :-p

Toe thumb? Cronxeh, I'm not sure we can allow you to switch to bio, we try to sequester the folks with webbing and extra body parts into physics. Just take a look at DocToxyn's body there and you'll see where we set the bar for biologists! :biggrin:
 
  • #3,652
I know.. I'm afraid I won't be able to switch into Bio if I want my BS by 2007 :frown:

I'll stick with an MS in Biomedical Eng by 2008 though :-p

You served yourself with...turtle? Keep that up and you'll be on the endangered species list. :-p

Don't feel bad about not naming your turtle (very nice turtle BTW). Many owners don't give their turtles names. Also, taking it slow can be good, but you should stick around for at least a little conversation. :rolleyes: Biting turtles--not good.

Join us again next week when we will discuss my favorite topic, pigs. :-p

I'll take your word for it. Personally, I've never bitten one.

Yeah, it can be really weird when guys name their turtles.

Oh what about women naming their cats?

I'm starting to suspect that you're confusing the 'turtle' with the 'one-eyed zipper eel'. A common mistake; they look quite similar from the neck up.

Exactly. The "one-eyed zipper eel" becomes a "turtle" when immersed in water (hot tubs, etc.)
