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.

Sounds controvertial. That will be popular if your group is good and can find an audience. You're likely going to alienate many religious people with that name.
Somehow I don't think there are too many deeply religious people following trance music. I could be wrong, but it just doesn't strike me as compatible. On the other hand, it could be a tough name for people to say/pronounce readily. You want something that people don't trip over when saying aloud. I don't think a lot of people will get the controversial undertones though.

Personally, I don't like it very much. I would go with something more like
Skin Puppets.
Is that what you're calling it now? I thought we were happy calling it a turtle. :rolleyes:

If the name fits your audience then go for it.
Skin Puppets = Skinny Puppies + Meat Puppets + 1 demented imagination

I don't think that you really have an evil plan. I think that you just like to say 'Muhhaaaa' a lot.



Cronxeh, those things are cute enough, but they hurt my eyes.

Danger! How could you think that I don't have an evil plan? Why I ooze evilness.

Hope I didn't upset you by using the grumpy smilie, but geez. Can't I be evil around here?

They are cute little buggers though.

Slurp spiders a dying breed?

Lately, yahoo! slurp spiders seem to have left PF; instead mediapartners-google spiders have taken over.
Why is that? :confused:

Maybe they're full and gave some other spiders a turn. We did have a few crackpots running around to feed to the spiders. :-p

Maybe he didn't lose them at all, but was having fun trying to bean BT in the head with them. :biggrin: I personally think God has a twisted sense of humor. :-p

Actually, it's not hailing here. It's a beautiful spring day.

There are 2 things I do not like about the city. 1. There is background noise at every hour of the day (where my home is, it is virtually noiseless at night and in the morning; the blood pulsing in your ears is the loudest thing you can hear). 2. The air is not pure. This makes a tangible difference when bicycling.

On the other hand, I do kind of like the long, long 15 degree grade hill. Cycling down the various roads of this is quite an experience. The ground at the bottom of the hill appears to be directly in front of you. It's almost free-fall.
 
  • #4,791
And when I say 15 degrees, that's because I am comparing the line of the sidewalk with the presumably level lines of the house foundations. Looking down the hill it appears to be more like 45 degrees.

Huck...I just got back from having sushi dinner. Yummy! :approve: Went out with some friends to a place I hadn't discovered before, and the sushi was excellent! I take back what I've said about not finding good sushi in this city! :biggrin: Some tempura and miso soup as appetizers, sushi for dinner, and ice cream for dessert (there's an ice cream shop around the corner). Just thought I'd rub it in! :smile:

You only used the word "city" because I used the word "city."

:rolleyes: Yeah, sure, that's it. :confused:

Hey, where'd you go? Turn my back on you a moment, and you run out and take your post with you!

Where is the jealous face when you need it? :cry:

Sushi sounds delicious. I just had beef stew and French bread. :cry:
The miso soup sounds pretty good but I'm not sure about the tempura. With shrimp?
I had some icecream yesterday. My favorite is a tie between Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, or Reese's Pieces. :-p

I love sushi, but the worst sushi I've ever eaten was in Japan. This was the real thing, prepared by a master chef at the Hotel Okura, a 4 star hotel in Tokyo. I guess I am used to americanized sushi. :frown:

The worst Thai food I ever had was in Thailand. The real stuff just doesn't taste like american Thai food. :rolleyes:

Yep, my friend came to my office and asked where we should go tonight (we already had plans to go out, but hadn't picked a restaurant). Since that picture of a giant sushi platter the other night, I've been seriously craving sushi. I didn't know there was a place closer than by the airport, so mentioned sushi but expected her to nix the idea as too far. As soon as I mentioned it, she said she was craving sushi too, and there's a place much closer! :-p :biggrin:

It was an appetizer portion, so some assorted vegetables and two shrimp. I thought it might get messy since there were three of us splitting it. Then one of my friends said she didn't care that much for shrimp. :biggrin: She didn't have to offer twice!

Heh heh heh...neither of those compares to the ice cream shop we have here! (I'm so spoiled now, I'm going to have a hard time moving away from the good ice cream.) My favorite is raspberry chip, but I passed on that tonight for a turtle sundae with chocolate ice cream (caramel and pecan toppings). Must've been craving turtles too. :devil: :biggrin: Delicious!

:smile: I don't know how Americanized the sushi and Thai food I eat is. I do know that most ethnic cuisines I've had are pretty strikingly different in flavor from the East coast to the midwest. It's all very bland in the midwest and much more flavorful when I order it back east. So, I don't know if it's a gradient from more authentic to more Americanized or just different forms of Americanized foods.

Funny that you should mention this. The worst pizza I ever had was in Italy. You can't hold it in your hand like slices. They have few toppings. Sauce is way better there though, but it just doesn't have the satisfaction of some Chicago deepdish. :-p

Yep, there's a difference. Sushi and other ethnic/foreign foods are more likely to taste authentic the closer you get to either coast.

I remember years ago moving from Houston, TX to Washington DC and could NOT find a single Mexican restaurant, the ONLY Mexican food in the grocery store was a Banquet frozen Mexican tv dinner. My parents would send me monthly "care" packages of food so I wouldn't die.
