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.

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

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.
That would be an actual non-abstract turtle, or maybe a non-actual, non-abstract turtle. :-p

It's not turtley enough for you?

Or maybe a non-actual abstract non-turtle.

I have a theory that if sixty people bring knives to a place that nobody knows exists, everyone will feel a slap.
Faraday did extensive experiments based on this very theory.

I call it a wodden non-actual abstract un-turtle with non-convexlike shell and abstract legs for short: WNAAUTWNCSAAL (acronym)

I remember the snapping turtles from a long time ago... canoeing over the lake shallows.

The pull-down menu that says [Size] right above the other formatting commands. '2' is normal, '1' is small. Just go back to '2' to cancel.

Hey, you little bugger! You already did it. What are you asking for?

How do people make a post with just a smiley and no text? I always get a message saying that I must have at least 10 characters.

Hardly a meeting or convention exists but could be enhanced by promotional material from the Tourist department of Bad Lauterberg.

Tourist with a capital T and that rhymes with P and that stands for Pool-hall.

It counts the characters you have to type for the smiley.

Hey, thanks! I never thought of that. (Have to make it something innocent, though, since it'll show up in the quote screen.)

Unfortunately for you, my screen colour is set to very light grey for doing art, so white shows up. :-p :biggrin:

this is my idea of an abstract turtle:

<gasp>[/URL] I WANT IT! :!)

Actually it's not abstract at all, the other part of the sculpture, the lid (or shell) has been lost. The two pieces, made in Taiwan, were originally sold at Walmart for $5.95. The bottom piece (seen above) somehow made it's way to an exclusive art dealer in NY who assuming the piece was making a statement as a "non-actual abstract turtle", is offering it for sale for $15,900.

Most turtles carry poison darts in secret hidden pouches under their skin.

What I meant is that I don't have to. My screen isn't white, so white text isn't hidden.

edit: Gonna be late for pool. Don't kill each other before I get back.
