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.

You've known me for over a month now, and you still roll over for something that simple? I'm starting to think that I've been overexerting myself.

I'm easily amused tonight. I spent the entire day in bed with a migraine that had me wishing my head would just explode and get it over with.

I've had dates like that too. You'll get over it.

I wish it was just a bad date.

Me too, kid. (I can't actually show you any sympathy here. If the others sense any weakness on my part, I'm doomed.)

:wink: Gotcha! Sort of like buying 2 of the same shirt so you can blend in with all the guys who wear the same clothes for days in a row without actually having to be a slob yourself.

That's not actually why I did that. I just don't have much imagination.

Deal. And I won't tell them what colour that merkin really is. :wink:

LOL! I was thinking about that as I was trying to figure out why someone would want or need a merkin. Must be for those not-so-natural blondes who want to prove they are a natural blonde. :biggrin: Just seems easier to get rid of the evidence.

Quite acceptable under most circumstances. I do find that if I have a cold, it's nice to have an absorbent nose-rest. :-p

Absolutely! We take great pride in the loving care we give to turtles. :approve:


Ahh, what a wonderous and varied species the turtle is...there's one out there for everyone.

Wood turtle - a "solid" choice
Sliders - no wax required
Snappers - only for the experienced handler
Map turtle - knows their way around the bush
Side-necked - useful in tight quarters
Leatherback - for the kinky turtle owner
Softshells - requires pharmacological intervention
Diamondback - for the girl who has everything
and the most sought after variety...The Big-Headed turtle :bugeye: .

Indeed, a species known for its longevity, as well as size... :biggrin: .

Of course, the longevity is far more important than size.

I try to avoid the snappers...don't want a turtle that will bite you when you try to kiss it. Kissing turtles is a much better way of finding a prince than kissing frogs, that's for sure!

Oh I don't know. Research shows a lot of turtles carry various diseases. I won't want an experienced turtle muncher to be around my turtle. Once a turtle gets sick you got to take it to the hospital, and the doctors give it all kinds of shots, its just not worth it!

Who said anything about munching turtles? That would be barbaric! I said kiss the turtle. Sheesh. :rolleyes:

Do you suspect, as I do, that perhaps this lad has been beaver hunting in the wrong locations?

On contrary, I don't do outdoors that much.

Kissing turtles is just as infectious as munching them, or so I've been told

I have gone way too long without a turtle. I can barely remember what it was like. I had decided I was better off alone, I am really picky and not willing to take in just any turtle, but all this turtle talk has made me realize how much I miss them.

Unfortunately all the good turtles are either unavailable, are too young and/or are not geographically accessible. :frown:

Whats 'too young' for a turtle anyway?

As long as you don't insist upon it having red ears, I understand that there's a quality line of robot turtles available to one in your situation... :-p

Not if you only kiss your own pet turtle. You don't want to just kiss any turtle you find out in the wild; you're right, who knows what sort of diseases they might carry, but if you keep a domesticated one around, nothing wrong with kissing it.

Robot turtles will never replace the real thing.

cronxeh said:

It all depends. I prefer younger turtles, but I guess that's mostly because I haven't met many older turtles that weren't emotionally scarred by mistreatment by previous owners.

Only as a stop-gap (pardon the expression) solution, I assure you; that is one
instance where I certainly don't care to be replaced by a machine.:-p

Damn!

I wouldn't at all be surprised if you could find one with red ears if you really want your robot turtle to have red ears.

Going for post 5000.

Woo hoo...and the thread hits 5000 replies! :biggrin:

Heh heh, it's indisputable who takes the prize this time! I got both the 5000th post and the 5000th reply! The rest of you must be sleeping on the job...oh, speaking of jobs, I better get back to mine now. :smile:

Congrats Moonbear! I didn't even notice it was so close to 5,000.
