AI Thread 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.

existance

Aha!

I knew it! I'm not the only noob who misspells that

By the way, Moonbear, do you know any students who just attend your lectures or just lectures of professors in general without registering for that class? Like just sitting in on lectures?

Has anyone ever asked you if its ok? Or do you know any professors who had a few students in class who weren't registered for it?

It's been a long time since I taught undergrad classes, and we never allowed that in those (they were usually registered to full capacity, so not much room for anyone just auditing), but in graduate level courses, we sometimes let a post-doc just sit in, usually when they either just need to brush up on a lecture or two, or they are interested in seeing how different people teach the course so they can decide how to teach it in the future. Otherwise, to sit in on a class, usually you still need to be registered to audit it, which means you're officially allowed to be there and have a seat, but aren't required to take exams or do assignments and don't get a grade for it (it doesn't show up on a transcript, just helps someone keep track of how many students are in a classroom).

State universities. I would think a private university would be even fussier about it. You might be able to arrange something if you aren't interested in the entire course, but just one topic covered in the course, so only plan to sit in on a few lectures.

You can come home again, Franzbear. Your mommy isn't homeless anymore. And now we have LOTS of cardboard boxes to build mansions for the real homeless. :-p

:smile: how is it there in WV?
 
  • #8,161
It's quite nice here in WV (once the sun went down yesterday, I was able to open up all the windows and enjoy some fresh air). I have cows for neighbors! No, I mean real cows. :smile: Apparently the grassy land next to the townhouses is part of their pasture, and they were out mooing this morning. :biggrin: I'm loving it!

Where is Artman? He's supposed to be keeping an eye on Franzbear while I'm busy unpacking!

Franzbear, I think there's a bull out in the pasture. Why don't you go pet him? Here, take this red rag so you can wipe your hands when you're done. You don't want to have dirty hands.

What's that Franzbear? The bull attacked your red handkerchief? Gee, I can't imagine how that happened. Maybe you said something mean? You should go back in and apologize to the bull.

Here Franzbear, Auntie Evo made you this special red cape, I heard that bulls just love red! Don't worry if the bull starts running at you, he just wants to check out your pretty new cape. :approve:

I don't know, do we still count age posthumously?

Happy 1000th post... it's about time :biggrin:
 
  • #8,180
aww, thanks, y'all. Maybe I'll just spend the rest of my PF life in franzbear and stay at 1000 posts forever. He doesn't seem to be going anywhere. In fact, he seems to really like the anthrax! I've been putting it on his donuts for months and he seems to have built up a tolerance.

oh... what the he- ..I just got two more post counts! .. do franzbear posts count now? :eek: Or maybe the odometer was running slow before. :confused:

Nowe we can discuss moonbear's, Evo's, Tsu's, SOS's, and MIH's births, without posting in the wrong forum!

Maybe I'm wrong: history is also before the birth of christ?

I think MIH needs a shipment of chocolate. :-p

hmm.. y'know Tsu will be getting off work in about an hour and a half and she's still driving the grenade launching RV. I think yomamma better find a good hidey-hole between now and then or his 'face' will be grass! :smile:

and yes! I'll take that chocolate, thanks! :-p :smile: :smile:

Does tsu want chocolates as well? because she's getting two truckloads, like everyone else, $5,000...

Nope.

Franzbear, when I last saw you you were blind folded and bonking your head into everything. Have you gotten out of your blind...BONK! fold ...hummm, I guess not. Well come over here. BONK! Thump THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!...and be careful of those steps. Climb up here...BONK! and watch your head. Have a seat...Ahhhhhh! CRASH...But not over there. Okay take us up.

What's that Franz? Oh, we're going on that helicopter ride I told you about. :smile: It'll be fun. :smile: Now you need to put on your lead skies.

Why lead? They'll help you overcome more air resistance before reaching terminal velocity so you can go nice and fast. :smile: Doesn't that sound like fun? :smile:

Now, slip on your jet pack. No, no, not that way, you silly goose. That's the way everyone else wears one. Turn it over. That's it.

Why turn it over? That way it'll help you overcome even more air resistance before reaching terminal velocity so you can go really, really and fast. :smile:

Now you better put on your parachute.

Why do you need a parachute? Silly boy, we're 20,000 feet above a snow covered mountain, of course you need a parachute if you're going to jump from this helicopter and go skiing. :devil: Wouldn't want you to fall to your death. o:) :devil:

Okay now, stand up...BONK! but watch your head.

What about your blindfold? No you can't take it off, that's part of the fun, blindly soaring through space with your jet pack firing and your lead skies falling at an ever increasing rate toward the ground...:rolleyes: It'll be fun. :smile:

Step over here to the door...BONK! watch your head, ready, set...

<push, while pulling the ripchord,>

...go.

<Flooof. out pops the parachute, wow look at the wind from the rotor fill that chute. It's pushing it down and wrapping it all over him. Look at him go! >

Fire your jet pack Franzbear!

<Jet pack starts.>

Wow look at that hole it burnt in the parachute. Who'd a thought it was so flammable.

Wow, those lead skies really do overcome wind resistance, especially with that jet pack aiming down.

Get ready Franzbear, you're getting close to the...BLAM!...ground! :devil: :smile:



Hummm. I thought that mountain was supposed to be snow covered. That's just mountain. Oh well. :devil: :smile:
 
  • #8,188
I see you had a good time skiing with your Uncle Artman, Franzbear. :smile: You're lucky to have such an attentive uncle. Okay kiddo, since you enjoyed that so much, I've arranged for some deep sea diving lessons for you. You seem so talented at everything, I signed you right up for the advanced certification test. Keep the lead skis, you'll need ballast to help you dive. Now, they're going to take you underwater. glug glug glug[/size]
Oh, I guess you'll want tanks too. Well, with the move and all, I've been a bit strapped for cash, so I got these second hand tanks. They're just a little dented. They should still work fine.

Off you go. *bubble bubble bubble*[/size]

Hmm...I wonder if those bubbles coming out of the back of the tank is normal?
*Gives Franzbear the thumbs up*

Well, that's okay, once he gets down a few hundred feet, they'll take those tanks away anyway. Hmmm...I wonder if anyone remembered to tell him about that part of the test so he takes a deep breath before swimming to the surface without the tanks. I shouldn't worry so much, I'm sure the El Cheapo Diving School is totally reputable. :devil:

:rolleyes: Aren't those two different types of tanks? Isn't that one clorine and the other one ammonia? Or is one Propane and the other oxygen? I wonder if his speaker in his mask could set something like that...?

Bloop, bloop, bloop,BLAM!


Yeah I guess it could. :biggrin:

Well, as far as I've heard, dive to hell is a much better course, and they don't teach you all that saftey crap! they tell you how to avoid real problems, like domestic violence.

--franzbear's first day at the "dive to hell" diving & dying academy--

Okay, now just put these nice tanks on. don't worry, dive to hell gave us a certificate that said if you were to die, we get $100.00!

ppft! no, don't use those plastic fins! use the ones that uncle artman got you for your birthday, yeah, the concrete ones. ready, 1, 2, 3! JUMP!

*SPLASH!*[/size]

uh oh, is that some of that really sharp coral?! :rolleyes:

Oh, cool, I was going to suggest we get some chum and see if we can get some sharks into pet, but that'll save us the effort now. Look! I see a fin already. Franzbear, you have to splash around a lot to get the shark to come close enough to pet it. :approve:

That doesn't seem to be working! Don't worry Franzbear, I'll find a way for you to scare away those hungry sharks.

Hummm, now let's see, what could scare away hungry sharks?

<3 hours later>

I couldn't find anything in my attic. Hey, maybe you could use yomamma's avatar...nah that won't keep them away to long...Hey I got it! The perfect thing. Now I have to go and get one. I'll be back soon.

<4 hours later>

Sorry I'm so late Franz, but that sports shoe store I like, you know, the one where I got you your concrete swim fins, was having their Once-in-a-Blue-Moon Sale and I couldn't make up my mind between the new sneakers with the blue strip or the new sneakers that were solid white. What do you think? Can't decide? You're looking kind of blue, (except for the red parts). Okay I guess I'll get the blue ones. Thanks! :smile:

<3.5 hours later>

There was a long line at the counter. They thought they were out of my size, just my luck huh, but then they found some. Aren't you happy for me? :smile:

Oh, here is what I bought for you to repell the hungry sharks...what's that, they're not so hungry anymore? Does that mean you don't want it? Okay here it is...a 625,000 volt stun gun.

<hands the stun gun to the soaking wet Franzbear>

<ZiiiiiiiiAPPPPPP!>

Oooh look at that, it didn't scare it away afterall, it just pissed it off. Humm, seemed to do more harm to poor franzbear. oh well. :biggrin: :devil:
