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.

I just got back from with my FAVORITE (:rolleyes:) friend, yes, the one who annoys me. I had to go with him to do something for a bar mitzvah project, I'm not sure why. He had to "help out the community". WHat we really did was dress up at the botanical garden as their ascot, Sammy Saguaro :rolleyes::groan:

hehe...speaking of costumes, franzbear, i got you a nice fluffy bunny rabbit costume so that you can go play with the wolves...you know how being a bear always intimidates them.

now run along and play with the nice foaming-at-the-mouth-snarling-blood-covered wolves.

its like one of those old guys who say 'hey kid, I got candy in my van'
 
  • #8,854
Ooh, that's a great costume Franzbear! You should have rocketboy help you with your Halloween costume. I was thinking that you could be the Olympic torch. We'll wrap your legs together as the handle, and soak your shirt and hat in gasoline to light the torch part. But maybe rocketboy has some other ideas; I heard you have a lot of Halloween party invitations and you don't want to wear the same costume to all of them. :approve:
 
  • #8,855
I think we should dress Franzbear up like a pumpkin and send him to see one of those pumpkin carving contests. :It'll be fun :smile:

First they carve them all up, (it takes hours just to do one, shaving away the skin, cut holes here and there, scraping out the insides...) then we can put a candle inside of him and let it shine through his skin and... :rolleyes: I mean then they put candles inside of the pumpkins and let them shine. :blushing: :smile: :devil:
 
  • #8,856
good idea! :smile:

franzbear, let's go hunting with your new rabbit costume :smile:
 
  • #8,857
28 hours... :rolleyes:

wait...it's 29 hours! I BROKE MOONBEAR'S STUPID RECORD!



AAAA!

One of the other grad students wants to take a stack of pumpkins and set it on fire Halloween night. The problem we're having is that there's nothing to hold it up...

Does Franzbear burn?

We found that he does not burn, but he does get singded (Sp?) pretty good. Also, you could have some fun beating the fire out after you're done. :smile:

Nope, it's not a kill until you can resist posting. I was rather curious if you could resist...see, you just don't have the heart to kill Franzbear. :devil: :smile:
 
  • #8,863
I still beat the record.


and thread kill is when you post, and nobody else does for a period of time
 
  • #8,864
Of course you could jump on the burning Franzbear and pumpkin pile and stomp it out.
Here is a can of water that you could dump on the smoldering embers.



:rolleyes: <Just ignore that the can says GASOLINE on it.> :approve:
 
  • #8,865
OK, I guess I can't let this thread get to 10,000 posts without posting in it once myself, so let me ask:

What is a 'franzbear'?

I've seen sporadic references to this creature and I think I remember seeing something about someone killing it. Is its head mounted above a mantle somewhere? Can we get photos?

Franzbear is the nickname of this thread and the e-child of Moonbear and Franznietzche. I see him as an indestructable 9 or 10 year old nephew, the kind who'll do anything once (or twice). As a matter of fact, Franzbear and I are due to go hang-gliding this weekend! I made his hang-glider myself out of some tissue paper, balsa wood, an anvil, and some string. We're going to launch from a mountain cliff. It'll be fun. :smile: :devil:

I hear there is rain forecast this weekend. Better add an extra layer of tissue paper. :approve:

okay. so I'm here at the cedar point resort. I'll be here 'till monday. :smile:

I'll check into kill this thread:devil:

Have a great time, yomamma! Don't worry about Franzbear. We're just about to start hang-gliding. Since Moonbear says it's supposed to rain, maybe we should put a good coat of model airplane dope on the wings first. Then if it gets cold, Franzbear can warm himself with these matches.
:rolleyes: <Ignore the fact that the model dope can says "GASOLINE"on it. Actually, it's a mixture of model dope and gasoline. :approve:
(They did move the smilies again! :cry: )

But the gasoline is evaporating off too quickly. I think we need something to water-proof the hang-glider better. How about hydraulic cement? You can apply that in the rain and it'll harden pretty quickly. (Cement is the next best thing to duct tape in this thread; good for fixing everything. :approve:)

the tallest roller coaster in the world is down for mantinence. I had to ride the 2nd tallest. :frown:

its so cold here. I went on the log ride and was the only person. when I came off the drop people were watching me and waving...

How about just setting the extremely flammable mixture on fire to evaporate the wetness? :smile: Or, what if we put a huge gas tite bag around franzbear and his hang-glider let the gas evaporate into that, then let franzbear light his matches to help warm him up? Although a cement covering does have potential (and a lot of weight) :smile: .:devil:
 
  • #8,874
too late, they left this morning, i guess they made due. i heard the screams from Canada...sounded like artman.
 
  • #8,875
Nah, I don't think the screams were Franzbear. I think it was yomamma when that cold water hit him on the log ride! :smile:
 
  • #8,876
okay. I have left cedar point and I'm in cleveland. if franzbear catches on fire, don't put him out. :smile:
 
  • #8,877
What are you doing in Cleveland?
 
  • #8,878
the right question is..

what ARE you doing??
 
  • #8,879
Well, my first thought was, "What's in Cleveland?" But, I suppose it's just as reasonable to wonder why yomamma is always online even when on vacation instead of going out and seeing/doing things.

my mom is visiting the manager of one of the company she works for's branches. so technically, this was a business trip:approve:
 
  • #8,881
Oh, that makes more sense.
 
  • #8,882
franzbear, should've taken you to the park.
 
  • #8,883
Yes, you should have. You could have let him ride the log ride over and over, until he was hypothermic...:rolleyes: I mean...until he was completely exhausted from the thrill.
 
  • #8,884
you should have used franzbear as the log...i hear the ones they have at the theme park are attached to a track...that's no fun.
 
  • #8,885
By the way, Moonbear, what kind of experiments were you conducting last week? You mentioned you were setting them up.
 
  • #8,886
cronxeh, your sig is misleading
 
  • #8,887
I think Franzbear should take up a hobby. I'm going to teach him woodworking. :smile: It'll be fun. :smile: :devil:
Let's build a cabriole (sp?) leg table. :approve: Okay, Franzbear. First let's use the bandsaw to cut out the basic shape of the legs. You saw, and I'll watch you and make suggestions. :smile: (:devil:)
get a good tight hold on the wood.
Now, turn on the saw, very carefully. we wouldn't want something awful to happen. (:devil:)
Whhrrrrrrrrr
Now start pushing the wood...
Whhrrrrrrrrr
Now turn the wood to follow the lines...
WhhrOPPPPOPPP
After getting your thumb out of the way...
YOWWWW!
Whhrrrrrrrrr
Oh, that's okay, the blood didn't get on the wood. (yet)
Whhrrrrrrrrr
Now, grab the wood from the back...use your arm with a good hand...the one with the thumb...
WhhrROOOHROOOHRooorrrrrr
But first make sure you don't just take your arm through the saw balde...
YOWWWW!
Oops! I guess I should have told you that first.
.

Oh well, accidents happen. :smile: :devil: :biggrin:
 
  • #8,888
Ooh, how fun, learning woodworking. How about learning to use the lathe next. Okay, first we'll just get it turned on.
whap thwap thwap thwap thwap thwap[/size]

Oh, probably should have warned you not to wear a tie while using it. :redface: :devil:

Plunge Router time! :smile:



let me just step back here behind the work bench.

Okay turn it on!

<BrrrrrrrRAPARPRAPRAPRPARPZinggggggZinggg><TWANGE!>
Ooooh. You really do have to tighten those blades.

I was just playing vampire for 4 days. Had two overnight blood samplings scheduled, and in the time between them, was helping with surgeries for another experiment (we have a couple of new people learning, so I've been hanging around even when I'm not on the schedule since I was at the farm anyway just to help supervise while they are learning; plus we had our regular USDA inspection to really throw some fun into the schedule...fortunately no problems), so, I was catching some daytime naps, but not really sleeping more than an hour or two at a time on a really uncomfortable cot at the farm (there were too many spiders running around for me to want to toss a blanket down on the floor, which would have been more comfortable than those cots we have).

I get to do it again next week, and then I'll have the results I'll need to plan the rest of the winter's experiments.

MOOOONBEEEEEEEE :(Last night while I was doing some last minute cramming, I forgot an entire section! I thought I already had a test on it, but guess not... I think I did ok on my test though... :(

I guess I will have to answer to you when I get my score :rolleyes:

Uh oh! :cry: Do you think you did well enough on everything else? How come I don't see you over in the "other sciences" homework help area? We allow biology homework questions you know. :wink:

I think I did well enough on everything else, but I'm not sure. Usually I wouldn't care about one messed up test, but I'm trying to get up to an A in the class.

Maybe tonight I will, this lab is making my angry...

franzbear? a hobby! he's a frickin' proffesional killophone player! I've had to replace the blood tank on that thing over 100 times! I see my work is unappreciated... :cry: :frown:

Since he plays professionally, it isn't a hobby. He needs a break from the day-to-day stuff.
Now, let's do some work with the drill press. :devil:
This time let's put the bit in nice and tight first. :approve: There now. To operate the drill press, you have to see how far down you want the bit to go into the wood. So, I'll lower the bit, and you can put your head down there and look at how low it is. :smile: :devil: And whatever you do, don't turn on this switch when you head is down...
What switch?
That one...
<pppppPPPPPCHUNKaCHUNKaCHUNKa
WhhrrrrrWHAPWHAP
WHAP
Yowl!>
Yep. That's the switch. :biggrin:

*fixes franzbear with duct tape*

Good as new!

EDIT: Ok, so yeah, not studying a portion definitely made things a lot worse. I just checked my grades online, and it says I got a 70% on the test :/ which is the lowest test grade in there that I have :(

You were not supposed to tell Franzbear about the Handyman's secret weapon!
Come on Franzbear, You need to learn how to use some hand tools too. :smile:
First a hammer. Should be pretty easy to use right? :smile: Take the hammer in one hand, hold the nail in the other hand, and don't get distracted :devil: when swinging the hammer.
bang!
Very good Franzbear. Now you have to do it until the nail is all the way in. No, no, keep holding it.
bang!
bang!
Oh look, it's Elvis!
bonk!
Yowl!
Keep going the nail isn't in yet.
bang!
bang!
<nudge>
CRacKKK!
YOWWLLL!
Excuse me, I thought I saw Elvis again. :blushing:
A few more hits and it'll be done. :smile:
bang!
bang!
SMASH!
Oh, I forgot to tell you you don't have to hold the nail after it is well into the wood. My mistake. :blushing: :smile: :devil:
 
  • #8,899
franzbear, stop crying like a baby! get over here, and we'll use the belt sander!

okay just hold it like this, yes your fingers go under the wood- wait-is that right? :rolleyes: oh well...

AAAAHHH[/size]

guess it wasn't right:redface:

did you hurt your fingers? look closer- no! don't put your face in the belt san- too late :eek:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH![/size]
okay, let's put some rubbing alchohol to clean it up...
 
  • #8,900
(The rubbing alcohol was a nice touch, yomamma)
Isn't this fun, Franzbear? Just a nice relaxing hobby. What's that? You think you'd rather go hang-gliding with an anvil, using a tissue paper glider soaked in gasoline, while holding a lighted match?
.
Don't be silly! It's planer time! :smile: :devil: It'll be fun. :devil:
Now a planer takes a 1" thick board and makes it into a 3/4" or 1/2 inch thick board. So it is very sharp, very powerful and extremely dangerous. :smile: :devil: You want to make sure you let go of the board when it gets close to the blade. So you wouldn't want to get anything sticky on your fingers first.
.
Now, :rolleyes: would you hold this bottle of contact cement for me while I coat this board. Thanks :approve:
What's that, I got a little contact cement on the bottle? Oh that's okay. It's sticky? Well sure it is, it's contact cement, you silly thread! :smile:
Okay, put the board on the edge of the planer and push it toward the spinning blades of death...:rolleyes: I mean toward the blades.
WhrrrrrrrWhrrrrrrWHRRRRR
There you go the wood is starting through the blades...
WHRRRRRWHRRRRROARWHRRRRR
Okay, you should let go now...
WHRRRRWHRRRRRAAARRRARRR
You really should let go...You're stuck?
WHRRRRRAAAAARRRRRR
YOOOWWL!
.
Hum, I guess that contact cement was really sticky. :devil:
