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.

No, no, the thbppbpth is a highly technical name with a fixed degree of wetness. It's fairly dry, actually, hence the opening and closing th's (a very dry sound). The wetter sounds have more b's and p's and more alternation between them--thpbpbppbbppbp! would be a fairly messy "raspberry," the general name.

I want a singing turtle gram. :cry:

I don't feel well today and I'm at work and nothing is going right. :frown:

I'd be more than happy to provide turtle (just don't try to name it 'Roger'), but I don't think that I can teach it to sing. (It likes humming, though.)

If you can get at least three turtles to hum in harmony, that will work.

I just got really bad news for a customer of mine. I have to call him and tell him that he won't have any internet connectivity tomorrow at his new location. He's a web hosting company. This will kill his business. I feel like absolute crap, even though I've done all I can do to push this through on an expedite basis. He is so nice. My head is about to blow up. I don't want to tell him. :cry:

On second thought, three turtles aren't enough, I need an entire turtle choir.

Moonbear said:
Hmm...that does work better than trying to figure out how to spell pppppbbbbtt! :smile:
I had the darnedest time trying to figure out how to properly spell the sound made by a boob smothering. Would it be Ahbulbububu, or Bpllllllbbbbububu, or more like Ahhhhhbuuuuuu? :-p

My turtle enjoys a good humming session as well, he just pokes his head up and smiles when the humming begins. :-p

Moonbear said:
Ah, so there's more than one spelling! Good to know. Must vary depending on the wetness of the Thbppbpth! :smile: (No comment about where you do your reading.)[/size]
That seems like Bill the Cat too--I always liked Bill the Cat.

:smile: I meant to compliment you on your mud wrestling narrative (LMAO), though I think the referee got a double dose from both of the voluptuous contestants...I wonder if he made it out alive. :bugeye:

Those raspberries must have been very important to him... after all, when grit came to gristle, he preserved his tongue over his own life.

Also for those who are using Macs, you can use lowercase l's to achieve signficant color density.
