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 don't really need the alarm clock. For some reason I always seem to wake up a few minutes before it goes off regardless of the time I have it set for. If I'm dead tired then I need it, but otherwise I'm just fine. I wonder if I would wake up in time if I didn't set the alarm.
I used to be like that. I'm trying to figure out when that stopped happening.

Umm, Holy Cow!
No, still a cat. :-p

Why would anyone eat raw meat?
Aside from all the other advise given (I also recommend California Rolls for beginners)...I like to pour my soy sauce in the dish and mix a little wasabi in it. Then dip the sushi into the sauce, and I usually add a little fresh ginger too. Many people find the food bland and tasteless, but especially a big chunk of raw fish is not as good if it has no flavor. Soon you will figure out how much wasabi you like, and if you like it you will start putting it directly on your sushi. :biggrin:

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...
:smile: After looking at the graphic cronxeh posted, for awhile there I thought I was on LSD! :smile:

Mmmmmm... Hot milk and honey, yum yum yum, what a good idea. I have to go to sleep so I can have lots of weird dreams and post them in the sweet dreams thread and have them analysed. And so I don't go crazy from sleep deprivation, I'm already teetering precariously on the edge of sanity...
I'm sure you all know this already, so if you do, you can read this to help feel sleepy. :smile:

1. Try to go to sleep and rise the same time each night and morning.
2. Don't read, watch TV, etc. in bed. You are to associate the bed and bedroom with sleep.
3. Keep a book and pen by your bed so you can write down thoughts of all the things you need to do. After writing these things down, it's easier to forget about it and relax.
4. Don't read serious posts on PF right before bedtime (and maybe not at all)! Wait, what am I saying! :bugeye:

Speaking of which, I need to be winding it down myself about now...

I thought it was strange that he came by here too. I feel like someone took a quick dip in the backyard pool while I was asleep. When the motion detector lights woke me up I looked out there to see what was going on, but the culprit was gone. Then I notice this little note that says "Astronuc was here" and a little picture of Kilroy underneath it. And I was like "WHAT!"

That's the impression I got anyway.

Hey SOS, what's up with the 4 posts in a row? Something needs to be done about the scrolling previous pages to gather information while posting. Is there a simpler way that I'm missing?

That's the way I do it. I stick a big glob of wasabi on the sushi, then dip the sushi in soy sauce. I always have to be gentle on the first bite, figure out how strong the wasabi was made. But, the worst that happens is you see stars and clean out your sinuses. I love to watch people who are new to sushi take a big bite of wasabi. :devil:

I once hat a hot sauce eating contest with a guy I used to work with. He would always talk about hot sauce all the time like it was his personal obsession. My other coworkers and myself made a bet that if I could eat more hot sauce than he could then he could never talk about hot sauce ever again.

It wasn't really hot sauce we were using. It was some sort of industrial degreaser. The stuff was concentrated habanero peppers and it was STRONG! I think it was called Dave's Hot Sauce. I ate like almost 2 tablespoons of the stuff and beat him. I felt fine for a while but the last hour of work I was just dying. I was going to the water fountain every 5 minutes to get something to drink. It felt like it was burning a hole in my stomach. When I got out of work I rushed to my car and drove to a 7/11 and got some pepto. That helped a lot. I thought for sure I was going to burn a hole through my stomach lining.

That bastard didn't keep his word. We never could shut him up. Oh well.

:smile: I have a bottle of hot sauce like that, though it's looking funny colored now, so probably isn't good anymore. Just a few drops goes a VERY long way. I like it just because it adds spice without that vinegar flavor of sauces like Tabasco.

When I lived in Ann Arbor, there was a taco joint that had a monthly hot sauce tasting event (they sold a lot of different varieties). I wish I had discovered that sooner, but as with all good things, I seem to find out they exist only a short time before I move out of the town.

The way I do it is go to the first post that I want to quote, and do so. Then I select it all, copy it to clipboard, and hit the 'back' button. Then I go to the second post, quote it, and paste the previous quote/response pair in front of it. I just keep cutting, quoting and pasting until I'm finished. I use the scroll down to find the next post that I want.

edit: If wasabe is that green **** like horseradish, it is a product of pure evil. It tastes like someone took all of Darth Vader's liquid farts and compressed them into a paste.

Like he said, there needs to be an easier way to do multiple quotes. Maybe something like check marks next to the posts you want to quote and then a button where you can choose to quote checked posts?

I'm also wondering, is it just me, or if you try to quote a post that contains a quote, you only get the new text and not the embedded quote? Sometimes I want to include both, and can't do so just by clicking the quote button.

Quotes don't get quoted, but you can copy and paste them into the main quote.

Yeah, that's the way I do it. I just thought I'd check if it worked differently for others since some things seem to be different depending on computer or browser.

My biggest problem with the copy/paste method of quoting is I end up misspelling user names, especially some of the more challenging ones.

I copy the 'originally posted by' line as well, then it's already spelled. :approve:

Darn, I know that feeling! Same thing happened last night (er...this morning?). I was just getting drowsy and lying my head on the pillow, and realized the birds were chirping away and the first sliver of light was showing through the window.

On a similar line, I once "woke up" to birds chirping in the early morning. I remember thinking "Ohh, its just the Geiger meter going off" and going back to sleep. Does that mean I spend too much time in the lab?

YES![/size]

Uh, wait, I mean, no, not at all, in fact, why were you home sleeping when you should have been in the lab? :smile:

Yeah, I "wake up" like that too. The alarm goes off, I turn it off, and have no recollection of it, or incorporate it into some weird dream, and keep right on sleeping. I've tried putting the alarm clock on the other side of the room, setting lights on timers to shine at the bed, setting multiple alarms, using the radio on the alarm, using the buzzer on the alarm, using one of those old fashioned alarms with the loud bells. When I change it up, something new will work for about a week, and then I learn to sleep through it again.

I need Serotonin replacement kit that would let me stay awake for 20 hours out of a day.

Work you Biologists! Work!

I'd rather the engineers develop better robots to do more of my work so I don't have to stay awake 20 hours a day. :biggrin:

That's a good idea. I'll just paste into another window with word perfect or something when I need to reply to several previous posts.

Wasabi is an acquired taste.

I love Dave's. Was that Dave's After Death Hot Sauce, Total Insanity or just Insanity? They are all good. But I have even hotter stuff, e.g. Maddog. The hottest one I have is "Satan's Blood". Keep away from eyes, skin, children and small animals.

Great in soups, salsa, and on just about everything I eat. :biggrin:

I don't remember what kind of Dave's Hot Sauce it was. We used my coworkers personal supply that he brought with him every day. I remember it said habanero concentrate, but of course there was other stuff in there too. And the degreaser remark I made because it actually said on the back of the bottle that the product could be used to clean stains on the driveway.

I likes me some spicy. :cry:

Habenaro is an ingredient in many of the hottest sauces. When it's pure capsaicin, it doesn't really matter from which pepper it originates. Ref: http://www.fiery-foods.com/dave/capsaicin.asp

This is one of the places I like to shop - http://www.2hotlicks.com
They have many of the hottest brands. I had to sign a liability-waiver in order to get "Satan's Blood". :smile:

I decided to check what brand of hot sauce I had around here. It's called Cajun Rush Infinite Heat! :devil:

Wow, that capsaisin stuff is strong. 13 grams or less to kill a 150 pound person. No wonder they made you sign a waiver to buy something with that as an ingredient in it. I doubt anyone would willingly consume that much of the stuff, but people do crazy things sometimes. :rolleyes:

I notice at the bottom of your first link that it listed the negative effects of capsaisin.
But most people react very negatively to the super-hot sauces, experiencing severe burning and sometimes blistering of the mouth and tongue. Other immediate responses have included shortness of breath, fainting, nausea, and spontaneous vomiting. People should be very careful of commercial hot sauces that list oleoresin capsicum as an ingredient.
What can this stuff do once inside your stomach. I really felt like it was doing some serious damage in there. Ulcers maybe?

Oddly enough, I used to take cayenne pepper capsules to ward off digestive ailments. I had my first ulcers at age five and have always had a cranky stomach. The cayenne does seem to help. Go figure!
