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.

no, I mean an actual turtle, the four-legged reptile with a shell. It was an abstract turtle.

Make up your mind. Actual or abstract.

It was an actual, abstract turtle. I made it in Paint one day. It had a multicolored shell rim and red paws, head, tail, and backbone, and it was otherwise black on a mainly black background.

So, you're saying there are actual abstract turtles, and non-actual abstract turtles?

No, of course there are. If you draw a picture of a real, literal turtle, and the picture is abstract, then you have drawn a real, abstract turtle.

this is my idea of an abstract turtle:

You should draw that: an actual abstract teethshoe.

I'll be pretty damned happy, too, if I can still balance an apple on my turtle when I'm 150. :biggrin:

If you're trying to confuse the kid, I'd like to point out that Mother Nature seems to have beaten you to it by a couple of years.

Are you sure that's supposed to be a turtle?

Yes, I am sure

It's a nice piece of art but I wouldn't call it an actual turtle. What kind of turtle has a concave shell?

Looks like the top should have nuts in it.

Both the anorexic kind and the introverted kind. They're hard to tell apart.

That's why it's called abstract.

Well yeah... they pretty much come as a set.

I have a theory that if sixty people bring knives to a place that nobody knows exists, everyone will feel a slap.

Personally, I feel that abstract representational art should capture the essence of the subject in some way. A sculpture with a concave back is an interesting 3 dimensional doodle, but it doesn't show the spirit of the turtle.

Shouldn't you be in that turtle dish?
