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 should say so! You're really slipping, girl. :biggrin:

I know, you don't really like the agreeable ones, you'd prefer the feisty ones, eh?

Me too, but for some reason I can never sleep in. I set my alarm for 8, but I'm up at 6:30

From what I know of him, I would imagine Danger really does like the "slippery ones" as well. :biggrin:

Evo (and anyone else herp-minded), if you haven't already seen the sites blackjungle.com and mascarino.com, take a look at them. Some really great shots of frogs you can buy as captive bred stock. Also a nice list of other cold-blooded links on blackjungle. Enjoy. :smile:

Maybe I should be living in a 'B' movie. It appears that an 'Eel Woman' would be my ideal mate. :-p

...You'd really have to get going on the project if you want to achieve that level of ripeness by Hallowe'en. Do you require assistance? :-p
Another e-child, like DangSOS?! No, no, no, no -- I don't care if the gestation period is short and birth is easy, or even if males give birth to e-children, it just can't be allowed! :smile:

I wish I had that problem. I didn't manage to cure my nocturnality over the weekend, I made it worse! Thank heavens I'm an academic and can get away with starting my work day at sunset. People start thinking I'm a vampire when I keep schedules like this (at least I'm no longer going out on a farm collecting blood samples all night...that really didn't help my reputation). I already have very pale skin, and then when I don't come out in daylight, plus I have two pointy incisors instead of normal flat ones (not the front teeth, but the ones next to them...another treat of genetics...a few of my cousins have the same, so I know which side of the family it comes from). I try to tell people it means I'm more carnivorous than most, but they seem to prefer the vampire story. :rolleyes:

Hmmm...maybe DangOS has a better ring to it. Though, it might be too commonly used...hear it all the time from those Windows users. (Let it sink in slowly, I borrowed one of Danger's slow fuses).

I work with sheep, brain dead sheep. :rolleyes: No, these people are an insult to sheep.

I'm on a web conference and we all got an e-mail telling us there were two ways to register. It said to either register as a guest or register as a member if you had an ID.

Ok, on the registration web page on the left side it says "register as a guest" and on the right side of the page it says "register as a member". (we don't have ID's to this particular site)

Want to take a guess how many people entered their name as "guest"? Out of 118 participants only 6 of us have names, all the other participants are named "guest". Well, the e-mail did say "register as a guest". :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :bugeye:

Edgar Ponce (Mexican actor) died in a motorcycle crash when an SUV plowed through like 5-6 motorcyclists

WARNING: VERY GRAPHIC

Some freaky stuff

Sheep only look dumb, it's all part of their master plan to take over the world.

Hmm...if they had an ID, would they have registered the name "Member?" :smile: That's sad. You'd think in your line of work, people would be a bit more tech saavy. I'd expect something like that from a group of secretaries whose job it is to follow directions literally, but not from people who are actually involved in IT. :rolleyes:

Well, do they have the sense at least to bow down to the superior status of those who have names? :biggrin:

I love sheep. :biggrin:

Yes, yes they would. The e-mail said "if you have an ID, register as a member".

That's sad.
It's scary, and they wonder why I don't associate with them outside of the office. :rolleyes:

Be careful about saying that around Artman. He gets jealous if anyone else is messing with his sheep! :smile:

Just think about all the people on LSD right now.
 
  • #4,517
Okay, I spent an hour thinking about people on LSD. Then they all turned to me and said, "Dude, quit crashin' our party, man." I thought it would be best to leave then, but I enjoyed the fresh sushi and wasabe while I was there. Man, that stuff is spicy!

Mmmmmm...sushi! Mmmmmmmm...wasabi! :approve: It's hard to get good sushi in the middle of the country. Have to get to one of the coasts.

OMG! Thanks a lot yomamma. Now I'm starving.

The only problem I have with sushi is that it is so damn expensive and not very filling. I feel like I'm eating my wallet, and even wasabe can't cleanse that from my palate.

That picture is like a dream.

Make that for two! Yummmyyyyy! Yomamma, you should give it a try. But if you do, go to a place with a good reputation. If you don't like it, don't have it again, but it never hurts to try new things. You can also get something like a California roll that has cooked crabmeat in it along with cucumber and avocado...it's a good place for those not brave enough to try raw fish to start and just see if the general idea is something palatable to you.

My favorite is sashimi. If I go out for sushi, I do a whole meal. Some miso soup, then sushi and maybe a salad of some sort, a little tempura on the side, and then a nice cold saki with dessert. :approve:

And I haven't even eaten dinner yet.

I don't like crab meat. Just about any kind of fish is great. I don't mind octopus, but it is a little chewy. But for some reason I never met a crustacean that I liked to eat.

I don't know the names of all of those sushi things. I just point and grunt and they put it on a plate for me. My elbows dance all over the table and and I can't sit still for a minute. I always chew with my mouth closed though. I guess that's something.

Time to eat for me. Burgers, which is what I usually get to fill up the corners after every time I've had sushi.

I'm pretty sure that we're all sufficiently zoned without chemical assistance.

Enough with the sushi, already! I'm trying to eat here...

Mmm...I like crustaceans! I just avoid oysters, those don't count. And I don't seem to need any added aphrodesiacs...I'm convinced the only reason they got that reputation is because if you'll put one of those in your mouth, you'll put anything in your mouth!

I usually have to find the translated menu, and I slowly learn what I like in Japanese. Very little on the menu I won't eat, so no big deal if I order the wrong thing. Oh, yeah, the octopus is usually too chewy for me too. Tastes good, but hard to eat.

My elbows dance all over the table and and I can't sit still for a minute. I always chew with my mouth closed though. I guess that's something.

:smile: Something tells me I just have to see this in person!

Agh! Burgers after sushi?! That ruins it! I actually can fill up pretty well on sushi. If not, then ice cream for dessert does the job.

Where did the "thread killing" veer so far off topic?

It's not off-topic. I'm still determined to kill it. Just don't think I'm going to late any of you Johnny-come-lately folks get the credit for the thread kill!
