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.

Aww, Huck. You lost your baseball again? It's OK, we'll find it. :smile:

Okay, okay, I'll see if I can find another round-ish rock for him. One of these days he's going to figure out it's not really a baseball. :rolleyes:

The way I got the two errors was, the "message too long" error counts tags as well as text, and the "message too short" error only counts text. I had 22047 characters of color tags, and no text outside of the tags.

Thanks. You're a peach, Moonbear. Meantime, I found this big sweet potato he can play with.

Hey, Huck! Look! I found your football! :smile:

Hey, you're right, a green peach would make a good baseball. Maybe it won't hurt as much as the rock when he misses a catch. Well, it's still going to be a few months before there are any peaches on the trees. Huck, did you know baseball season is going to start late this year? Yep, not until June or July. But you can play with that nice football MIH got for you until then. :biggrin:

Huck lost his baseball.

That's all there is to it?

That's all. It doesn't take much to get our imaginations wandering. :biggrin:
 
  • #3,943
Oh, that was my baseball? I always get my sports equipment confused with my breakfast. :confused: I thought that apple was a bit chewy.

I just dropped a 12" knife and it got me on my toe, just barely. However, it did make a 1/8" nice cut in my toe, although I would have preferred it cut with the grain.

edit.. I just realized it got two of my toes,

Uh, ok... I'm not sure what your imaginations are running to... something I may be missing... I don't understand why you're talking about rocks, potatos, and green peaches. Slow day? :confused: Some kind of cultural reference?
 
  • #3,946
Matt, that must have hurt. It's good that your toes are not severed. What were you doing with the knife?

When you dropped the knife did you stick out your foot to stop it?

Its all an attempt to confuse you. Is it working?

Actually it did not hurt at all. And considering the weird way it fell, I consider myself, and my foot, to be quite lucky.

Were you paring baseballs?

:eek: Oh, ow, yikes! Those are the WORST! I hate when you cut yourself and it doesn't even hurt, because then you just KNOW it's going to be bad, and you don't even want to look to see what damage you've just done to yourself. And then there's that weird hop, walk, dance thing you do while trying to get to the nearest towel or band-aid in an attempt to not leave a trail of bloody toe-prints on the carpet. I hope you have a nice, comfy pair of shoes with lots of toe room to wear the next few days.

Next time you try to stab Franzbear, wait until he moves away from your feet. :biggrin:
 
  • #3,952
Yeah, I didn't even think about that. I wouldn't want to wear shoes with a nasty cut on my feet. That can't be healthy. Good thing I don't wear shoes much anyway.

I wasn't paring baseballs. I just bite into them and eat the skin and seeds and everything.

No cultural reference. Start with MIH's post 5210 and Huck's response to it in 5211. You were busy with your artwork and amusing error messages, so might have missed the set-up.

Better be careful about eating the seeds, one of them might start growing in your tummy. :smile: (Did you mom or grandma ever tell you that one?)

Besides, the seeds are far more useful as projectiles to pelt the younger brother or sister with. :devil:

I seem to remember one of my relatives told me that watermelon seeds would grow in my belly if I ate them. So I tried it, but it never worked. Have you had any luck? Maybe I should eat some dirt and drink lots of water or something. The PH balance of my stomach must not be right for growing watermelons. Maybe I should try tomatoes?

My grandfather told me that pink elephants come out after the street lights turn on. I haven't seen any of those either and its been a whole week now.

I have the habit of reading the last post in a thread and have no idea what is going on, so I read the post before it, then the one before it, all the way back to where I left off.

Does anyone else read threads backwards?
 
  • #3,957
I actually meant Matt... that maybe the reason Matt was using a knife was to pare a baseball.

Strange that it's easy to read and type backwards. Maybe that will be the next thread...everyone has to type backwards.
 
  • #3,960
I always used to find writing letters backwards much easier than just words, but it's more difficult on a computer :smile:. My maths teacher didn't used to like it though, even when we handed her a mirror with our homework.
