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.

Snitch! I knew it had to be an inside job! There's no way she could have known we were having that party if someone didn't tip her off.

tips? what tips.. we have a symbiosis :biggrin:
(I need a grumpy smiley that has squintier eyes to give cronxeh that look.) For spoiling our party, I curse you to have a wife and many daughters whose cycles are never synchronized. :devil:

Well, he keeps ruining our parties, so I couldn't let him off too easy for such an offense! :biggrin:

Psst, Artman, the beavers are still hiding behind the curtains with the lurkers. If we don't feed them soon, they're going to start biting lurkers.[/size]

Hi lurkers! You might want to come out and play now. :biggrin:

Ah-hah! That's why he's been using the cloaking device. :mad: Yeh, we need an "evil eye, if looks could kill, you'd die" smilie.

Why does it have to be one or the other? :biggrin:
I can't respond to that in a PG-13 forum. :blushing:

So I'm pulling into my garage and I see a large armadillo by the walk. Cautiously I walk toward it to take a closer look. Then it runs into the garage and I think into the house, but I can't find him now. Hey, where's Danger been lately!

Oh, I sent him off with some of those nice sailors to explain it to him. He needs more of a male influence around, so I thought it would be good for him to hang around the sailors more. They're teaching him all about tying knots. :approve:

Ive never seen a armadillo up close and personal, I wonder how they do it with all that...wait..it must be the medicine talking, I really don't wonder how they do it..someone should send me to bed.
Well, as I said, the male is VERY well-endowed, but it looked more like trying to reach with a 10-foot pole (okay, maybe it was a 6 inch pole...but considering the size of an armadillo... :bugeye:) rather than getting up close and personal.

I'm looking for more info on armadillos, and found this, which made me laugh the way it was written:
The North American 9-banded armadillo tends to jump straight in the air when surprised, and consequently often smacks itself into the undercarriage of cars passing over it. This is an example of an animal's vestigial reflex made useless, obsolete, and counterproductive by humans.

In mating season, one mating behavior of the male armadillo is to flip himself over in an attempt to win the female's admiration. Occasionally the male armadillo will land on its head, causing no harm but undoubtedly decreasing the chance of a future with the armadilette he's suiting.

The Norweedish word for "armadillo" is "Beltedyr".

Male or female (of course I mean the armadillo, not Danger)? :biggrin:

From what I hear it's easy to tell because he's very well-endowed (of course I mean the male armadillo, not Danger) :biggrin:

Moonbear said:
Owww! I'm not sure if armadillos bite or what they even eat. They were too busy mating to be fed anything. :biggrin:


Armadillos generally eat inverts, mostly soft-bodied, but some insects as well. I'm sure they can bite and probably do. That makes me think of all the people who used to come into the pet store my wife worked at in college and ask "will this animal bite?"- it has a mouth doesn't it? If you don't want to get bit, get some worms. :biggrin: As far as other defense mechanisms for armadillos, I remember reading about a naturalist who caught his first armadillo and upon rolling it over to examine it, he was sprayed with feces , pretty effective defense.

Do gay men know this?
I'm sure they would like to be warned..

Or did you mean invertebrates??

Yes, I did mean invertebrates. :smile:

Is that a term used to describe homosexuals? I've never heard it, is it local to Norway or European countries? Is it generally an accepted term or does it have any derogatory tone? If so I apologize for any misinterpretation.
 
  • #6,831
It is an old-fashioned word; the common "scientific" term up to the 1950's, when "homosexual" became the preferred word (or at least, the terms where equally common up to that time).
(The term is coupled to the concept of "sexual inversion", so it certainly had a some derogatory content)

However, I can't see how anyone could be offended by your spelling error, although some might be offended by my silly joke..

When will those silly armadillos learn not to play in traffic? Don't their parents teach them anything?

*tucks in Moonbear* Goodnight Moonie. *hides handcuffs and waits quietly in the dark for Moonbear to fall asleep*
That's the last time I let you tuck me in! I had nightmares last night! A giant red clam was eating people's heads! (And, no the Freudian implications have not escaped me, but it was still a scary dream; I woke up with my heart racing!)[/size]

It was a male, and as I said he was large. But I thought I saw a quick glitter in the sun as it ran, and thought it even more odd...maybe a zipper? But Danger is back, so I guess it was just my imagination. Seriously, in the U.S. there are no armadillos in Arizona--I believe only in Texas and maybe New Mexico.

BTW, Evo, I keep forgetting to tell you this. I was reading news online and noticed a blip regarding horoscopes and pets that are supposed to be compatible. For Taurus, turtles are considered compatible. Hmmmm...

:eek: That's a nightmare that outstrips Audrey from 'Little Shop of Horrors'! Death is one thing, but decapitation?! :eek:
Yeah, it was a pretty bad one. I sometimes have bad dreams, but I just wake up, realize it was a dream and go back to sleep. This one, I woke up and my heart was pounding, and I had a very hard time relaxing enough to go back to sleep. I've been a tad stressed lately, so I'm guessing it was stress-induced. It would have made a good B-movie. :biggrin:

ROGER! :cry:

Turtles are cool. There was a baby turtle trying to cross a four lane highway the other day, he was halfway across and it was too busy for me to stop. I kept looking in the rearview mirror to see if people were going around him. :frown: I hope he made it.

I just noticed you sleep in a freezer.

That's dangerous you know, its hard to fit in one of those, unless it is a meat freezer.

I can derive several things from the fact that you sleep in a freezer:

a) You don't smoke. At least whilst you are sleeping, because a cigarette would go out rather quickly in a sub-zero environment.

b) You don't bring nitroglycerine into your sleeping environment, the test tubes would become brittle and break at the seemingly slightest touch, plus, because of rapid temperature changes, the nitroglycerine would effectively exploode.

I'm like you about that. I worry about animals trying to cross busy roads. I have heard that you shouldn't carry turtles out of the road because they will just wander back to where they were and continue on. I don't know if that true or not.

Did you hear about the man that complained about the deer crossing sign? He said they should move that sign because it wasn't a safe place for the deer to cross, they keep getting hit there.

:biggrin:

Oh and thanks for your comment on my armadillo song. I thought you would like that whole exchange. :biggrin:
