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.

Actually, this one here is funny, and relevant, too. The GD Theme

Okay, that becomes funny based on it's relevance to the irrelevance of threads like this, but if I was reading it in the Sunday paper, it wouldn't be funny at all on its own merits.

I'm sure Bart's just trying to kill the thread by continuously posting unfunny cartoons. At least it's a new strategy, I'll give him that much. :-p

2)We've reached post #720...In this thread... :rolleyes: :wink:

The thread actually flat lined for a moment after Bart's last meninhats post, luckily BobG's post revived it. I thought it was a gonner. :bugeye:

Hopefully, it won't last as long. The 'Ask a Stupid Quetion, Get a Stupid Answer' thread took nine months to reach 730 posts, not 2 weeks.

Since tribdog created this thread, he may hold a secret key to the thread's weakness that would allow us to kill it.

Trib, that was great, I love the post from Monique (who went by "the Owl')

Don't get me started about reading the wrong things.. I LOVE going to azian restaurants: Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, Thai. And the things I ate there.. intensine of fish soup, pork belly, sea snails (worst ever), lots of squid, stomach of cow (which?), cow intestines, raw oysters (yuk), tried to order froglegs many times, land snails, AH! I ate the feet of chicken, nibbling on the nails :), tong, what else, probably other weird things that I do not know the name of.. But the good thing is that I have my own personal guide in Asian food, so the restaurant that I have been to were like the best food I've ever tasted, very authentic and clean.

Monique®

and the response from zero

"If that's cat, well, just fry me up another tabby!"

Personally I've eaten some very tasty barbecued goat "cabrito". And I LOVE raw oysters! But oysters roasted in the shell on an outdoor grill next to the Chesapeake Bay are my favorite memory. :approve:

LOL! I was going to say things never change, but it seems tribdog has lowered his standards over the years and will now accept food he suspects has a loogie in it.

I can't stand goat or goat cheese. I really hate when people sneak goat cheese into things that look otherwise innocuous, like a salad that I think has some feta cheese on it, or a pizza or lasagna that ought to have ricotta in it, and then I take a bite and eeeeeewwwww! Nothing gets that taste out of my mouth!

Got that right. Moonbear would give it mouth-to-mouth, Dex would be pumping its chest, I would be, well...watching them and waiting to jump in and post last if it dies. :biggrin: :devil:

I think we've got our funeral home. TSFH looks like a very caring portal for the thread to move to its final resting place. (Also they have that great security Plan!)

Now BobG has the funny links! :smile:

I wasn't sure if I should post this one here or in the "Who Smokes?" thread, but I know the PF sisters will find this information to be yet another important reason to ban smoking:

The next two are especially for tribdog :biggrin:
http://www.roadtripamerica.com/signs/earls.htm

And everyone who plans to be a professional thread-killer, please take this road :devil:

Yes, BobG's links are funny, but I resent the implication of "the" funny links.

:smile: Take it easy. You're allowed to laugh at what you find funny, for me comics just have to catch me on the first few or I don't bother going beyond that. You seem to be taking it awfully personally. You didn't write the comics, did you?

As for this thread:

OK, I just PM'd his sorry butt. Maybe he'll write back. Midterms are no excuse. I got 'em, too. Besides he's little Mr. "I-got-an-A-plus-and-I-didn't-even-have-to-study-nyah-nyah".
:biggrin:

by the way, I'm just kidding with you, franz. Just hoping to spur a reaction so we'll know you're alive, unlike this poor comatose thread.

Aww, i feel special :biggrin:

I've been busy, I've been semi-without internet, as I've installed another OS on my system, and it took me most of the weekend to correctly confgure everything.

Nope, no midterms this week, I've got finals the week after next though :frown:

That hurts, deep down, like in my shoes.

I don't think I'm going to reply to your PM now!

At anyrate, I'm about.

This thread is finally coming into his senses...We got read of the intruders (geeky pirates) and we're carryin' on with our strive to kill it.:devil:

Since this thread will probably never die, I propose a points system whereby the "players" are rated according to how long the thread sat idle after they posted. So, for example, vikasj007 only gets 7 points because the thread was only idle for 7 minutes before dextercioby took it over...
 
  • #599
It's not fair,Ross.People also sleep.You wouldn't want them to be forever online,on GD,posting in this thread :rolleyes:

Daniel.

Hmmm point system, that may work, I would just not win because I sleep. It would be up to Dex and Franz
