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.

Well, actually the bike is pretty colorful with several different shades of gray, from dark-gray to dark-gray highlight to light-gray to white, not to mention touches of black in a few places. It's not supposed to be just a negative image. I'll darken it with the l's.

yomamma, I chose this name because it is beautiful.

The trouble is we'll never know if the problem is Danger's monitor or his eyes. :smile:

And nothing to do with your nearly fetish-like enthusiasm about bicycling, huh? :-p

Bicycletree, Monitor settings, format crossover from and to Macs or PCs, people viewing with reduced windowed screens, wrap around , these are some examples of what I meant earlier by you doing a good job with the illustrations even with forum limitations. It is a world in motion.

Hey franzbear, its your uncle Toxyn again, time for your trip to the zoo! Here we are at the big cat exhibit. Guess what pal, I slipped the keepers a little cash so we could get a behind the scenes look at the kitties. Here, let me rub this on you before I open the cage door, I know it smells like hamburger, it's really just sunscreen, can't have you getting sunburn! In you go...Wow you run fast franzbear , that lion sure looks sad he didn't get to give you a big hug. Are you sure you don't want to go back in? OK, I've got another surprise for you. Here put these mice in your pockets, we're going to the reptile exhibit...you're sure to get some good hugs there :devil: .
Remember Franzbear, during your trip to the zoo, wait until the animals approach to intiate "aggitation phase." Have fun with your uncle DocTox. :biggrin:

If you mean in the sense that Bush is popular; the smart folks want it dead. Only problem is, everyone wants to be the one to kill it, so everyone else keeps sabotaging their attempts. :rolleyes:

That would explain why you're under the impression I'm well-endowed in the "chestal area" as Jay Leno would put it. :smile:

Ut oh! We've identified another pseudo-killer! You can't be a real thread killer until you've read everything in the thread and can identify the thread mystery too! (Right BT? :wink:)

Right, and if they are rude and run away or refuse to play with you, just back them right into a corner until they do! :approve:

No. Luckily, we don't get his broadcasts up here. It was probably dealt with on 'The Daily Show', but I don't always get to see it.

Lucky you! As if network TV isn't dumbed down enough, they interrupt the regular programming to dumb it down even further with his speeches.

Nobody seems to like this guy. How did he ever get re-elected? Was Kerry so bad that Bush seemed an attractive alternative? We need to seriously consider a third and a fourth and a fifth political party. I don't like that there seems to be only two real choices for something so important.
 
  • #3,889
there are dozens of parties

and no, it doesn't matter who you elect - bush and kerry is actually same nwo

Great analogy! :biggrin: Okay, so back to the business of sabotage...

I was just reading The Onion (but PF is still #1). They have the "In-action Heroes" for men who play it safe--one of which is the "Mama's Boy" doll (who was breast fed from the age of 7, and has never taken a risk because he has never left his mama's side). In the video on Mama's Boy, he and his mama are in the grocery store. A woman holding two melons (in front of her chest) approaches him to ask a question about the melons. I'm telling you, tribdog has been busy elsewhere, and I think this is where he has gone!

Yeah, but I mean real parties that are actually considered by the public. Doesn't almost every other democratic nation have more than 2 parties that actually win elections sometimes?

Just outside of Calgary. See under avatar.

We get some of the more humourous or irritating or just-plain-frightening bits on the national news, but it's never more than a couple of minutes and always analyzed by political and/or linguistics experts. Other than as a potential destroyer-of-the-world-as-we-know-it, he isn't taken very seriously up here. :approve:

Apparently not.

In order to be re-elected, don't you have to be elected in the first place? Wasn't he quite definitely the loser of the first election until his conveniently-located brother or cousin or whatever stepped in and rigged the Florida vote? :confused:

You had to say it didntcha? I was trying to forget it and doing a damn good job at it, and then BAM! you went and said it.

I know what I have to do. I have to find a secluded little corner of the universe where I would like to settle down. Then I'll build a rocketship and I'll say to Moonbear "Hey, I got a basket of kittens in my rocketship. Want to see?" She'll get all doe-eyed and look in. Then I close the door and signal franzbear to hit the ignition. Doesn't matter how much time passes on Earth. I'm never coming back anyway.

Oops, only brought enough food and water for two. Sorry franzbear. Don't worry, it doesn't hurt so much after a few days. If you don't eat or talk then you can conserve water for much longer. The trip shouldn't take too long. A few years at the longest.

I must say, that was one of the most underhanded and effective segues I've seen in a long time. Johnny Carson would have been proud. :approve:

I just re-located that puppy's mailing address...since he hasn't been around here, I think it's time to drop him the snail mail to make sure he's still alive!

You know I'd drive you crazy if I was the only person you had to talk to in that secluded corner of the universe, don't you? I'm going to have to talk to the folks over in astronomy about finding those corners though. :smile:

:rolleyes: What a waste. We can't even eat him if we run out of food, he'd probably be all tough and stringy anyway. Here franzbear, chew on a kitten tail.

Here, Huck. Have a roll of Red Green's patented Moonbear silencer. <hands over duct tape>
