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.

I've already got an M-16 in Illustrator. I used it in a trajectory problem in GP, but it's too small to show up there. I can put a big version into ImageShack if you want to borrow it. Only thing is, I have to leave for work right now, so can't do it until after 8:15 tonight.

Moonbear...DON'T TOUCH IT! BACK AWAY! It's a SNAKE! Snakes and Beavers don't get along. Oh, you're a bear. (moonbeaver) :-p

No one liked my two headed turtle or my three frog frog? :frown:

Couldn't you just have immobilized them with the carpet cleaner (carpet bombed them, so to speak), and then squished them all at once with the street sign?
I hit the few that were in the trash can with the carpet cleaner. It worked surprisingly well. I didn't use the carpet cleaner on the paper bag because it would get all soggy. I tried shaking them out, but those ants cling on pretty good. After getting all the ones on the outside with the brush I flattened the bag as best I could with my hands.

Didn't even occur to me to use the carpet cleaner on the ants on the carpet. The carpet cleaner is for the car. I never thought of using it on the indoor carpets. :rolleyes:

I think much like Moonbear about insect life. Ants in the house aren't going to live very long, but I'll step over them if I'm walking down the sidewalk.

One day, Moonbear, Evo and SOS were sitting on a park bench and a flasher came by and flashed them. Evo and Moonbear had a stroke...

...SOS couldn't reach him. :smile: :-p :biggrin:

LOL! Nah, I'm not that nice to flashers. My reaction would be more like this:

:rolleyes: Is that all? :smile: :smile:

Oh, now I can't remember the word in Dutch, but my Dutch friend told me that the word they use for flashers translates as "pencil salesman." :smile: I thought that was especially mean! Just a skinny little pencil, poor guy, you'd think he'd want to keep it hidden. :smile:

LOL! Okay, I'll back away. Oh, franzbear! When you go visit your Uncle Toxyn, remember to ask him to let you pet the cobra.

As they say, two heads are better than one!

I've seen the frog frog frog before, and I'm still at a loss to figure out up from down in that photo. I think I'll stick with turtles.

Probably just wants his eraser rubbed. :-p Either that or he wants to give his pencil a point. :smile:

The two headed turtle looked pretty happy. That would be bad if they didn't get along with each other.

That 3 frog frog looks uncomfortable. Do they have skin inbetween them or are all their organs all jumbled up in there? "Dammit Ed, why did you have to eat all those flies. Your intestines are sitting on my bladder again." "Stop kicking my liver Frankie!"

I don't even know what to say about the first picture. What side of the frog am I looking at? Does it have a head?

The purple one? He's a little freaky looking. Frogs shouldn't have such tiny pointy heads.

and Moonbear & huck, thanks for looking at them. :smile:

:smile: It makes it really hard to keep a straight face now when I think of the ticket scalpers who sell pencils...you know, the ones who sell you a pencil for $100 and then throw in a ticket as a gift?

Has there ever been a flasher that actually sold a pencil? And what kind of tickets would they give as gifts?

Evo, didn't have a chance to give you my full analysis prior to leaving the lab, so I had to wait until now. The purple toad is very nice, reminded me of the burrowing toads of Mexico, the pointed nose is designed for looser, sandy soils. I haven't completed my full analysis of the triple frog, although it looks supicious to me. If I had to ID the participants, I'd say the one on the bottom is a Bufonid toad due to the cranial crests and foot structure. The other two look to be Ranids by body structure and dimensions, but I could be wrong. It could be some mating process gone wrong, unless that their 'thang. It's difficult with the quality of the pic, do you have any history/info of the photo? The tortoise looks to be a Testudo sp., and you typically see such afflictions in turtles, I've never seen a tortoise, thanks!

The next set has one of my favorite groups, Monkey frogs, Phyllomedusines, they are very expressive. I'll try to round up some pics of them I've seen on the web. The White's tree frog also has a great look. Mantellas have some of the brightest colors in the frog world, very nice. Thanks for the shots.

Are you done with exams now, or is that drawing your way of procrastinating from studying?

I love frog pictures, they are so diverse. My brother used to have an aquarium with tiny frogs that would cling to the glass sides, they were so cool. Of course when I was little I would get a bucket full of tadpoles and watch them grow. I spent many afternoons collecting frogs and turtles in the bayou near my house. That's how I got my alligator snapper and softshell.

I used to have a horned toad too.

I guess my problem with snakes comes from when I was 4-5 and my next door neighbor came running at me with a shovel and tried to kill me with it. He barely missed me and hit the ground next to my foot instead. Or at least that's what I thought and ran inside and told my mother. He killed a 6 foot water moccasin (one of the most poisonous in the US) just inches from my foot.

Sorry, I didn't have time to think up a suitable response before work. Now that I've had time, I still can't think of one. But thanks for posting them anyhow.

I hate to encourage you, of course... but I kinda like it. Although the technical details could perhaps use a bit of work, the colour work is really nice.

She's supposed to be stopping at my place, remember? That's a pretty good representation of a couple of the dead vehicles in my yard.

Are you sure about that? Maybe he was trying to protect the snake from you and missed. :-p

I found it a little amusing that they seem surprised by the fact that evolution continued even as the dinosaurs were about to go extinct. Did they expect the dinosaurs to say "Hey, we're about to go extinct. Why don't we quit this 'evolving' crap."
