AI Thread Summary

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.

Tremendously evil... I got post #1000

Evo already made the official decree that the post number doesn't count, it's the reply number! :biggrin: It's over in the stupid quetion thread, ca. reply 2000 if you need to check.

WHAT IN THE HELL! Geeze you guys posted way to fast. And you posted way too many times. I was hoping to be 1002, or 3 or 4, and then just delete some of my older posts to get 1000/1

The ant version is more secular. It's on at least two different children's music CDs (because I had to listen to both of them ), so maybe I can find the lyrics online. Oooh, won't I impress my nephew if I know all the words next time I see him! I do know all the words to the apples and bananas song, and the heads, shoulders, knees and toes song, and can do a decent job of keeping up with the 10 little monkeys, jumping on the bed (one fell off, and bumped his head; he went to the doctor and the doctor said, "no more monkeys, jumping on the bed"; 9 little monkeys, jumping on the bed...) :biggrin:

We're going for 2000 now, you still have a chance! I think all we're managing to do is prove we're NOT thread killers.

That's it! That's the song! Thanks! Now I don't have to have just one line stuck in my head all night! :biggrin: Of course now the new question is why does NIEHS (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences) have The Ants Go Marching on their site? :rolleyes:

Well, we still have ants around, so they must have sorted out something with Noah. :-p By the way, I hate you for getting that stuck in my head, because I don't know any of the rest of the words to the song, so just keep hearing that phrase over and over!
This was post 998. Where was my wakeup call. I can't leave you people alone for a minute with my thread.

Sorry Artman, we were singing at the top of our lungs, but it just didn't seem like anything was going to wake you. You snooze, you lose! :smile:

Yes, Moonbear is the 1000th reply, post number 1000 is only the 999th reply (the beginning of the thread is counted as post one, it should be counted as zero). Bart, you get the consolation prize. :biggrin:

Moonbear, out to impress any guy she finds.

:rolleyes:

LOL! I don't have to try, it just comes naturally. :approve:

I just remember how funny it was when my grandfather used to teach me somewhat "non-traditional" lyrics to songs (despite my grandmother's protesting), and I think that should be passed on to the next generation. :biggrin:

Moonbear said:
I'm thinking I need to make up new lyrics to the Ants Go Marching song, something to truly impress my nephew. What number rhymes best with nose? I want to include the line, "The little one stopped to pick his nose." That should get a good giggle out of a kid. :biggrin:
All day this has had me thinking of that darn "ant can't move a rubber tree plant" song.

So here it is. :devil:

High Hopes

Next time you're found with your chin on the ground
There's a lot to be learned so look around
Just what makes that little ol' ant think
he'll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant, can't
Move a rubber tree plant

But he's got high hopes... he's got high hopes
He's got high apple pie in the sky hopes

So any time you're getting low
'Stead of letting go,
Just remember that ant.

Oops there goes another rubber tree
Oops there goes another rubber tree
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant.

When troubles call and your back's to the wall
There's a lot to be learned, that wall could fall.

Once there was a silly ol' ram,
Thought he'd punch a hole in a dam;
No one could make that ram, scram,
He kept buttin' that dam

But he's got high hopes... he's got high hopes
He's got high apple pie in the sky hopes

So any time you're feeling bad
'Stead of feeling sad
Just remember that ram.

Oops there goes a billion kilowatt
Oops there goes a billion kilowatt
Oops there goes a billion kilowatt dam!

Next time you're found with your chin on the ground
There's a lot to be learned so look around
Just what makes that little ol' ant think
he'll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant, can't
Move a rubber tree plant

So keep your high hopes, keep your high hopes.
Keep your high apple pie in the sky hopes.

A problem's just a toy balloon
They'll be bursting soon
They're just bound to go POP!

Oops there goes another problem ker...
Oops there goes another problem ker...
Oops there goes another problem kerplop.

Kerplop!

:smile: I love it! Don't worry, I'm sharing the contagion as much as possible (If I'm going to have silly songs stuck in my head, EVERYONE'S going to have silly songs stuck in their head). I just emailed one of my friends who has a son about to turn one and asked him what number rhymes with nose. I figure he's going to soon be listening to that song a lot too, so it's in both our interests to have some alternate lyrics. :biggrin:

Army ants, or PF aunts, whatever.
The descendant of Harald Hardrada will wreak a terrible vengeance by stomping over all of them..:devil:

  • #669
I saw a show on army ants and the people who live in army ant territory welcome them. they move out while the ants are there, but I guess you can't find a better exterminator anywhere. the ants move in, kill everything, then move out again.hoorah hoorah

Boy,i think you need treatment...How's your leg...?:biggrin:

Daniel.
oh thanks for reminding me. legs fine, but I got a new wound. smashed my thumb with a hammer. Huge blood blister. everyone told me to pop it, but I didn't. then the blood dried up inside and I took a thumb tack and scraped it all out. now I have a gaping hole in my thumb. you ever notice that when you rip off a bunch of old skin to reveal new skin underneath that the new skin isn't as strong as the old so it starts ballooning out. or is that just me?
will someone kill this thread already?

this belongs in another thread, but since I'm here I'd just like to announce that I just found an octopus sucker in my ceviche. that's sort of uncool.

Daniel.
that sort of describes me. quick out of the gate but no stamina.

OOOOOWWWWW! I have to charge up a battery every night for work, so I have a battery charger sitting on the floor next to me and it's plugged in all the time. the two clamps are just sitting there on the floor about three inches or so apart. I just reached down to pick up my Gatorade and made contact with the two clamps with my watch. I didn't get shocked but sparks flew and my watch got REALLY REALLY HOT! still works though

Bartholomew said:
I like it because it is so random. But it has a sad ending.
Yes, it is sad, but hopefully he will be reunited with Sean Connery.

It has some great lines "Oh Benson, dear Benson, you are so mercifully free of the ravages of intelligence."

Robin Hood (John Cleese) "The poor are going to be absolutely thrilled. Have you met them at all?"

Randall "Who?"

Robin Hood "The poor."

Randall "The poor?"

Robin Hood "Oh, you must meet them. I just know you'll like them. Charming people. Of course, they haven't got two pennies to rub together, but then, that's because they're poor."

Ok, someone that hasn't seen the movie probably won't understand how funny that is.

I love Time Bandits.

I think I should add that to my rainy day movie rental list. I haven't watched it for a long time. I remember thinking it was really funny, but can't remember much of it anymore.
 
  • #679
Bartholomew said:
You'd hate it, moonbear. It's exactly like meninhats.
What? It's NOTHING like meninhats.

Time Bandits is by John Cleese and Terry Gilliam of Monty Python, if you like "The Holy Grail" you'll like this.

I thought the lyrics were
"Tempted by the fruit of my mother,
Tempted but that fruit was my brother
what's been going on out there on the lawn"

We had a request for Rhino Love.

Sung to the tune of "Muskrat Love"

"Rhino Love"
By Artman

Rhino, rhino candlelight
Doin' the rhino and doin' it right
In the evenin'
It's pretty pleasin'

Rhino Susie, Biologist Sam
Grabin’ the rhino and give him a hand
And they shimmy
Sammy's hands are so chilly!

And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
listening to Barry and Bolero
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like rhino love

Grabin’ his bacon, churnin' his cheese
Sammy says to Susie "Honey, would you please be collected?"
And he say yes
That’s what I expected.

And now he's ticklin' his fancy
Rubbin' his toes,
electro ejaculators and bolero
As they wriggle, and Sue starts to giggle

And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Listening to Barry and Bolero
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like rhino love

La da da da da ...

Or how about a little "Rhino Delight"?

I think we need another song, maybe something a little more mellow.

To the tune of "Afternoon Delight" by the Starland Vocal Band:

"Rhino's Delight"
By Artman

Gonna find my rhino, going to hold him tight
Gonna grab his horn with all my might.
My motto's always been; when it's right, it's right.
With candles and the music, yeah it’s Barry white.
When everything's a little clearer in the light of day.
And the biologist’s determined to have his way.

Sky rockets in flight. Rhino’s delight. Rhino’s delight.

The Biologist is workin' up his appetite
looking forward to a little bit o' rhino delight.
Rubbin' sticks and hands together makes the sparks ignite
and the thought of rubbin' rhino’s getting so exciting.

Sky rockets in flight. Rhino’s delight. Rhino’s delight.

Started out this morn to collect the rhinoceros
Ejaculators helpin till its got some sores
Rhino mounts the dummy to get-r-done
The rhino seems to have himself a little fun

Sky rockets in flight. Rhino’s delight. Rhino’s delight.

Please be waiting for the rhino when he comes around.
He could make a lot of lovin' 'for the sun goes down.

Sky rockets in flight. Rhino’s delight. Rhino’s delight.

Repeat chorus.

I think all of Bart's talk about dreams affected me last night. This was kind of cool, actually.

I was dreaming and the person in my dream had a glass in their hand and they asked "can you hold this for me?", I sat up and reached for the glass, but my hand couldn't grasp it, it didn't seem to have any substance, and the person was now transparent also. I tried a couple of more times to grasp the glass and get the person into focus when I realized that I had been dreaming when the person asked me to hold it but I was now wide awake and alone in my bed and reaching for nothing. The person and the glass faded away.

It seems I started waking up as I sat up to get the glass, and the visual part of the dream continued for a second.

I've only had one other dream where I woke up and the visual part of the dream continued. But that one was very scary. :frown:

One night I was having a bunch of random dreams and then I had this "interruption" of a screen appearing in front of me telling me I had a PM from someone at PF. I suddenly woke up. Out of curiosity I logged into PF, and sure enough, there was a message from that person. Strange, huh?

I've since looked around for a message notification option for "wake from dreams when new message arrives" but did not find one. :smile:

:smile: I know I spend too much time on PF when I dream about sitting in front of a computer screen posting on PF, but the "wake from dreams when new message arrives" option must not be compatible with my browser.

That whole incident didn't strike me as odd as what I am looking at now: there's a new member online with screen name "dexterciaby".
Has dextercioby become so in demand that someone has started producing dexter knock-offs? or...Have I stumbled into an alternate universe where everyone's screen name is changed by one vowel? What do you think Moonbeer? Eva? The Bub?

:smile: It's probably the resident troll who returns every so often with a new account and a new knock-off name. With all the engineers around here building bridges all the time, I guess we can't help but occasionally find trolls taking up residence under the bridges.

Actually, Strabo really did write a book called _Geography_. No doubt he mentioned the Thracians, too. Just not in that particular way.

There is a way that the Thracians could be said to be relevant... the Thracians were the killers of Orpheus, and you were talking about killer bees. And they say music can charm bees, like Orpheus' music charmed the Thracians' weapons.
Oh a wise guy eh? Tryin' to be a smart guy eh? I'll show you what we do to smart guys.
