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.

Snatch!

*Huckleberry swooshes in with his floppy hat and shiny scimitar to snatch the 6000th post from Bicycle Tree.* :biggrin:

Being a Minion of Moonbear has its perks. :smile:
Do I get a medal for skill in the art of swooshing? :wink:

In these parts, 6000th reply is what counts, is what they say.

I see you startle in dismay.

The minion ranks, in disarray, shout, "Foiled! Curses! Hell to pay!"

I've tried it plenty. The way traffic and parking are in Calgary, I always take C-Train and buses. I was once also deliberately tripped by some idiot cowboy when I was bartending. Not only did I not fall down, but I only spilled one drink on a tray of 7 and managed to smack him in the head on the way back up. :approve:

n-thousand-and-one's the n-thousandth reply, or that's the rule that now holds sway. I used to say, it's child's play, n-thousandth beats it, every day. But no no no, says the PF C.I.A.

Danger, hey! Can you do knee-bends like I say?

Yeah, you think it's easy? Slipping on ice is nothing compared to standing up when a bus is decelerating hard and unexpectedly. Bottom line is, if you haven't tried this specific activity, well, you haven't tried it.

Nope, with slipping on ice, you have no traction under your feet to regain balance quickly. Buses are easier than ice. And, BT, that's buses AND trains. I wrote buses OR trains because you only take one at a time. No need to second guess what I write.

I can't do knee-bends at all. That torn tendon (which I've had since I was 16) limits flexation of my left leg to about 70% of normal.

PS: Ingenious little technique you have here for racking up your post count.

Buses push and pull you unpredictably. Ice is much easier because you're never off balance anyway. If you're careful, you can run across ice pretty easily. Now, a tug of war on ice might be a different story.

Well, I'm more of a "monologue" person than a "conversation" person. We all make our own styles. :cool:

We've noticed. :rolleyes:

I try to avoid groupthink.

Conversations are too often just assuring one another that everyone has the same culture.

This thread is BT's home! Alot of his posts are followed by himself!

Imagine how well you'd be able to carry on an ordinary conversation with a 17th century English merchant. You might think you'd have a lot of information to share, and that might be true (if he were willing to share), but after a while you'd realize that he believes women should be homemakers, that all your sexual innuendo offends him, that he believes in the Bible verbatim, and that he knows almost nothing about science.

And doesn't the simple fact that all conversation is based around finding "something in common" to talk about mean something to you?
