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.

I saw the devil smiley with a bottle of sleep-away...
I just knew it must be the devil smiley! He's always playing practical jokes on the other smilies. :-p :biggrin: and :smile: are his conspirators too. They probably spiked the punch at the last smiley party.

I don't mean to get off subject, but how's franzbear?
He didn't seem to like the caning very much, but he finally found a nice policeman to give the white powder to and decided he preferred the transvestite prostitute over the search he got by the police. I can't imagine why he isn't enjoying Malaysia very much. It's such a pretty country. Oh, his death penalty trial is scheduled very soon. :devil:

sorry, I couldn't hear you... I was drinking that pitcher of punch the smileys left in their fridge after that party last week. funny, the puch has a weird taste to it. very bitter...now I can't taste anything...

once they find out he's indestructable what will they do with him. there's only one group of people I know that could possible try to ba able to kill him. it consists of 26 members, here's a pic of them all together:

Why hasn't anyone invented a sound modulator for lawnmower engines. A sound resistant covering and a modulator on the exhaust port that takes the sound of the engine and counters certain frequencies while amplifying others and creates a musical melody. Maybe I could put 'Joshua Tree' in the lawnmower and cut grass to 'Streets With No Name.'

They could invent these things for antisocial people. They would never wear them themselves, but I could have a set of earphones. It could remember the voice patterns of the offending person. Then when they say something offensive, I hear it rephrased in a more pleasant manner. Hmmm, that could be counter-productive to my health.

Yep, the early stages seem to be showing in that lawnmower sound modulator idea. But it's too soon to tell. We'll just have to hope the vaccine works and it's an unrelated symptom. Nothing to do but watch and wait.

That's where the picture came from. They seem to care a lot about turtles, so I gave them a plug.

Yeah, that would probably really confuse your parents too. "We thought we had a son..." :eek: (BTW, how many times in the day are the smilies going to move?)

do you want me to get my vaccine of anthrax hydrogen and uranium? :devil: :biggrin:

this is almost as scary as that site that the statutory ape showed me :eek:

you see, if I become a biologist, I'll turn out just as odd as you. I want to be a biologist, but I have this trade-off!

We don't need to give it to him yet, but I think you might want to load up the syringe and have it ready. This bug can worsen really quickly and we might have to act pretty fast if the symptoms worsen.

Uh, yeah, that's definitely something you shouldn't have seen.

I don't think there's any definite requirement for oddity in biologists. It helps, but isn't required. :-p

Okay, this might be too serious of a question for this thread, but is there a reason a muffler wouldn't work on a lawn mower? Would it need to be too large, or cause some other problem? I'd love a quieter lawnmower without having to go with an electric one (at least not until they make an electric one that will cut the entire lawn without needing to recharge...someone I know has an electric mower in an attempt to be environmentally friendly, but he can only mow half the yard at a time before recharging, which just would not work for me).

now when I grow up all crazy, I can't blame it on anyone because nobody would believe me when I would say, "it was statutory ape, I'm perfectly sane"

is there eny differentiation in microbiology?

Well now... I'm going to go out of character in the fact that I'm going to pretty much ignore all previous posts and just jump in (other than, what the hell do you mean about growing up like Danger?)
Moonie, lawn mowers do have mufflers. They might not be tremendously efficient, such as the little can types that you find on a push model, but they all have them. If you want to, you can always replace the original with something better. Just use your extensive knowledge of military suppressor technology and cobble something together with some steel wool and duct tape.

edit: Crap, I never considered that you might take that seriously and try it. Don't use steel wool in a muffler! It burns at a pretty high temperature, but the ignition point is low enough that the first couple of cylinder firings will light it off. You could easily ending up burning your property into a little black spot on the map.

This looks like the stuff in Re-Animator.

How do you people ever expect to kill this thread if you inject it with reanimation fluid!
