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.

One night I was having a bunch of random dreams and then I had this "interruption" of a screen appearing in front of me telling me I had a PM from someone at PF. I suddenly woke up. Out of curiosity I logged into PF, and sure enough, there was a message from that person. Strange, huh?

I've since looked around for a message notification option for "wake from dreams when new message arrives" but did not find one. :smile:

Wow, that is strange.

:smile: I know I spend too much time on PF when I dream about sitting in front of a computer screen posting on PF, but the "wake from dreams when new message arrives" option must not be compatible with my browser.

That whole incident didn't strike me as odd as what I am looking at now: there's a new member online with screen name "dexterciaby".
Has dextercioby become so in demand that someone has started producing dexter knock-offs? or...Have I stumbled into an alternate universe where everyone's screen name is changed by one vowel? What do you think Moonbeer? Eva? The Bub?

:smile: It's probably the resident troll who returns every so often with a new account and a new knock-off name. With all the engineers around here building bridges all the time, I guess we can't help but occasionally find trolls taking up residence under the bridges.

That is quite funny. I am going to have to be careful not to confuse my good friend dextercioby with dexterciaby. :smile:

Mind you, Moonbeer might be nice for some. A new brand of drink 'Moonbeer: perfect to drink by night. The percentage of alchol changes with the phases of the moon. Best with a full moon.[/size]' :smile:

Actually, Strabo really did write a book called _Geography_. No doubt he mentioned the Thracians, too. Just not in that particular way.

There is a way that the Thracians could be said to be relevant... the Thracians were the killers of Orpheus, and you were talking about killer bees. And they say music can charm bees, like Orpheus' music charmed the Thracians' weapons.
Oh a wise guy eh? Tryin' to be a smart guy eh? I'll show you what we do to smart guys.

Threadkiller champion - so much effort for such a meaningless title. Just think; people will look at your post and say "Here lies one whose name was writ in water."

Not such a bad thing, really. Whose grave actually does say "Here lies one whose name was writ in water"? And for those about to jump up and start perusing cemeteries, his name isn't on his grave - just the phrase:

THIS GRAVE CONTAINS
ALL THAT WAS MORTAL OF
A YOUNG ENGLISH POET WHO
ON HIS DEATH-BED
IN THE BITTERNESS OF HIS HEART
at the malicious power of his enemies
desired these words to be engraved
on his tomstone
"HERE LIES ONE WHOSE NAME
WAS WRIT IN WATER"

Crude cretans, all of you! You had a chance to let the thread die with such an appropriate final epitaph, yet your craving for personal glory overcame you.

You have Van Gogh's ear for music! And you're all headed to hell in a handbasket!

Edit: Okay, Bartholomew and Moonbear were the only two to post, but I'm sure the rest of you posting in this thread are cretans, too. :smile:

Cretens eh?

Keats haters eh, Van Gogh's ear for music eh?

WELCOME TO THE BREAK!

Here at page 102, we have a heated challenge for who will claim the title of 'Thread Killer Champion!', the coveted prize will be an all expense paid trip to an insane asylum complete with shock treatment and plenty of drugs! The second place winner will be limited to the politics forum where they can exercise their skill at killing threads and squashing any real debate! All other contestants will have to hang their heads in shame and carry on with barely any semblence of civil discourse.

So far in the standings we have the follwing contenders:

Moonbare-that's right folks she's still showing her arse and is fighting viscously for that free trip!

Tripdog-Who is so thurooughly entertained that he just keeps it going for kicks!

Frannikki- His sense of self righteous nihlism won't let him leave this thread, besides, he knows he needs therapy!

Bart- Apparently he is having a cow!

Evo- It's either the nuthouse or Evoia, she doesn't care which as long as she is still the forum goddess and overlord!

BobGee- Since his attempts at being a beegee has failed he figures this might be his chance for glory!

Dexterboy-Hanging out in the hash houses of belguim, this is the only way he can escape his graduate thesis work and the tedium of ameircan hippies with no wit!

Fartman-having failed at art, he figured this would be a good scatological end to his dreams!

Will this thread ever end?
Do our contestants know how if there is truly a bottom to this bottomless pit?
Why do they waste their time?
Is there anything better on this forum?
Where is Greg the hairy one?

That's all for now folks, stay tuned to find out if this thread will ever find it's resting place in the web arhives where is should have been laid to rest when it was hashed out of tribs devious brane!

Good luck on your quest!

You know, this championship is pretty much like an Indy 500 except it's an Indy N : N-> Infinity

I am reminded of a hamster running in its wheel.

My god... I just called myself a hamster.

BobG said:
There's hope! :bugeye:

What was that movie where the hamster died because it didn't know how to stop running or how to get out of the wheel once it started running? (It has that scene in it where he and his girlfriend visit a friend who shoots an arrow straight up into the air and they show an arrow's view of the girl and the two guys watching the arrow and trying to make sure they're not standing where the arrow's going to come down.)

Edit: On the other hand, did you ever notice how hamsters look almost exactly like tribbles?

LOL! Is hamsterdance still on the web? Used to be www.hamsterdance.com right?

Edit: I just checked...lol! It's still there, but all new and improved. The hamsters have new hits out now.

Ooooh, clever and sneaky. Actually write something insulting to drive away everyone. (The one aimed at me was a particularly low blow I might add: scatological indeed, my humor is far cleaner and higher level than that.)

Meyeah, well it didn't work, see! I'm givin' you till the count of three to get out of here, see.

One...

BLAM BLAM BLAM RAT ta TAT a TAT BLAM

Oops, I guess I failed at counting too. Meyeah. :devil:

Actually the Mayan empire crumbled because the UFO's and the ET's that flew them here took them back to their own planet which is made of dark matter and coexists within our own atmosphere they are watching us even now and they are planning to come back and destroy the world by reactivateing their energy network taht they created when they made all of the pyramids this will cause a quantum skip and flux up everything.
 
  • #715
See, the mayan people hid in the mountains (that is the regular people because the extraterestrials infiltrated them and when they discovered they hid in caves where they are waiting even now till it is safe to come out again.) and then they have constructed shielded locations deep inside the mountains where they can safe when the quantum enihlation happens. (they predicted it would happen, so it will.)

Is this outta you imagination,or some shameless copy-paste again...?:-p

Daniel.
I only copy and paste my own stuff for comic effect. I had a similar discussion a few years ago. I was discussing the fall of the Mayan empire with a guy in one of the forums and this other guy started posting bizzarre theories. He killed that thread. I thought it might work here. These are my own made up theories.

We interrupt this thread to announce the official kill of a very popular thread by...drumroll please...ARTMAN!

I have decided that if a thread lies dormant for 5 days, it is officially dead.

This was the pirate thread for gawd sakes! How could you people let this happen?

Congratultions to Artman for a successful kill.
