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.

Don't worry Artman. It is startling at first, but after your pain threshold increases the sensation is quite enjoyable.
So that's where you were when you were pretending to be down with a virus...

No, I really had a virus. It was a nasty trojan. I forgot to clean the electro-ejaculator after the last person used it.

Did you know that you can contract syphilus from sheep?

Maybe should have used 'Ramses' instead.

As the operator thereof, that would have been Moonbear's responsibility.

I've probably infected a few, but I don't think that's where I got it.

Have you ever been to Italy? That reminds me of a bar I walked into once in Naples. Do you know how far away from the docks you have to walk to find a decent bar? IT's far.

I was at a strip club and there was a dancer on a small stage. We sat down and ordered drinks. The waiter's voice sounded raspy. I thought that was unusual, but didn't dwell on it. Then the buy me girls came and sat down next to us and asked us to buy them drinks. They had raspy voices too. Now I'm getting worried.

Just as the drinks are coming we get up and walk out. That is where I coined the phrase 'VD mouth.' I don't know what they had, but it wasn't a place I wanted to be and it certainly wasn't a place that I wanted to be drinking from their nasty glassware.

The whole dock area of Naples is just nasty anyway. They always warn the sailors and marines not to go out by themselves. One guy had only been on the ship about a week and didn't know anyone yet. He was out by himself not far from the ship. He was raped by three transvestites, or so the rumor goes. Whatever happened, it was serious enough that they shipped him back to the U.S. during a 6 month cruise. In this case I feel confident that the rumors were true.

Beware the docks!

I am disappointed to admit that the only places outside of Canada that I've been to are Detroit and Las Vegas. I'm not a traveller by nature, and even if I were I couldn't afford it. The only reason that I got to Vegas was because we won our trips down to the pool tournament. It's the last place in the world that I would have chosen to go to, but after the first couple of years I considered it a second home. Now we play for money instead, so I'll probably never get back. :cry:

Unfortunately, it seems that every country has areas that are best avoided, and most centre around the docks. (Damned sailors are a bad influence. :-p ) Despite the presence of Arildno, I've always thought of Norway and the other Scandanavian countries to be about the most peaceful and safe places you could be, but I've heard horror stories from there too.
 
  • #5,376
I've heard of winter long polka festivals in those countries. And the winters are very long there. That's a horror story to me.

I once won a carribean cruise. I received the notification while I was in basic training. Talk about a kick in the tail pipe!

:rolleyes: Moonbear's not around is she? :rolleyes:

:-pI better hide now. :rolleyes: :-p

Not hiding well enough! :mad: Everyone has to have her talents.[/size]

Are you sure franzbear didn't get that bite helping his Auntie Evo with her tree? I think she sent him to pick some pretty tomato-shaped berries from those fuzzy vines in the backyard, and we suggested he get acquainted with the local wildlife by poking it with his finger repeatedly.

Evo said:
I'd be careful, you know she still has that electro ejaculator and she's not afraid to use it!

Darn right! And I just got this nifty new one. Hmm, what's this label?
Danger: High Voltage!
Huh, okay, I'll remember that, set it to "high" when using it on Danger.

Oh, Aaaartmaaaan! :devil:

Don't worry, franzbear already knows all the dangers of hanging around the docks while his mom is trying to pick up sailors. :biggrin: :devil: (Anyone know what post that escapade started on? We hadn't even named franzbear yet, but that's when he got his knot tied for the very first time. :smile: He was so cute then.)

Hey now! You know that those labels are always designed for worst-case scenarios. It's like those things that say 'no user-serviceable parts' when any 5 year-old can replace the thermistor or whatever the hell quit. High voltage is just a manufacturer's suggested setting (and you don't settle for manufacturer's suggested retail price, do you?)
Besides, you know that if you're around, no electricity is required at all.

Ah, good point! Why settle for just manufacturer's suggested setting? *cranks up dial to highest setting* That should do it! :devil: Oh, Artmaaaaan, where are you hiding?

I owe him some pain, too, Moonbear. Could you kindly turn the dial up to 11?
thx. :devil:

Unfortunately, Tortie is still AWOL. I suppose the only hope would have been to employ tortoise-sniffing dogs to locate him, but I don't think the neighbors have resorted to that yet.

I don't know why I worry so much. Tortoises are resourceful creatures. Perhaps he made it down to LAX airport, wiggled past the slow-moving security, and is on a plane to Ocho Rios. :smile:

Hmm...the dial only goes up to 10, and then there's just this big red section. :rolleyes: *writes in "11" in red section* Okay, got it.

Hang on one sec, you'll need more juice. Let me get my jumper cables... ok, take this clamp and attach it here.. ok, now put this clamp here... great! now we're ready.
Oh, Artman...

Did you find out is he was local or from some more rainy climate? We had tortoises in N.H. where I grew up, but that is a very wet place compared to SoCal. Here, though, there are a few native desert species.

Tortie was a local apparently. It is speculated that he was quite upset over the recent L.A. mayoral election, as he was a known Hahn supporter.

I've always taken SoCal to mean 'very Californian'. What does it actually mean?

Then I would search all the localities where his party is firmly in office.

I thought it meant "Southern California". Like, LA and all points south of it.

It does. Just like WeHo means West Hollywood. And that in turn means, well, so many things..

Yep, it means Southern California, but I like icvotria's version better! :biggrin: That's going to stick in my head and I'll laugh every time I hear the term now! :smile:

Ahhhh... Now I've learned two new things today, and the sun hasn't even come up yet. Jolly good.

Edit: I was wrong, the sun's totally up. :cry: I have to go to bed.

Have a glass of water. It will help prevent a hangover.

:smile: I just caught that edit as I hit reply. It seems us PFers are all vampires!
Anyway, I was just going to say: Brilliant! Absolutely, brilliant! (See, I can speak a little British. :biggrin: :smile:)

Oh. I forgot. Now I must away to bed, before my alarm goes off. Night night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite :zzz:
