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.

Couldn't anyone revive the nerds thread at any time?

Someone could, but someone bringing a dead thread back to the top rarely rejuvenates the thread; it's just dragging a corpse around then. Now we know, it has to be dead for a 5 day count to truly be dead. I think that's a reasonable time. Sort of how boxers need to be down for a 10 count, or wrestlers pinned for a 3 count, a thread must be down for a 5 count (of days).

This thread will not end, ever, as long as PF is alive. Quit your tired talk of killing it. It will continue. We'll all just post here every day, and the thread won't ever go away.

Number 4)c can't happen to the posters on this thread because they clearly do not currently have a life. :biggrin:

4.c) should be changed to read - c)get a life :wink:

oooh, look at the post count! Think it will hit 2000 tomorrow?

Perhaps I should give away a prize. Maybe a "get out of being banned" card, similar to the "get out of jail free" card in Monopoly?

Good day to everyone. Since we are now discussing movies, I thought maybe we could kill this thread with discussion of -- Darn there goes one of those MIH bugs STOMP! CRUNCH! -- Hey, I wonder if MIH knows that MIH bugs have the same initals? -- Anyway, I was thinking if we discussed really bad ones, we could kill the thread (or the stench might at least drive away the MIH bugs). :biggrin:

What do you think, have we really pissed off Bart yet?

Anyway, I would like to begin with the "Royal Tenenbaums," a meandering, self important putrid stinking pile of green grass growing waste of time and talent. I hated every character, was way ahead of the plot, disgusted by the premise, and didn't care for the direction. It was sicker than Bart's description of this thread. :biggrin:

How about you guys? What movie did you hate? I don't mean ones that are so bad they are funny, like "Plan 9 From Outer Space" or "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes," I like them.

I can't believe this thread is still on the same page I left it on last night! I sense that we're wearing down some people, maybe a few thread-killer wannabes have dropped from the competition. :devil:

Clear...

ZAP!

Thump thump, thump thump, thump thump...

either we have a heart beat, or we're running over MIH bugs. :biggrin:

I'm not sure, I think it's the MIH bugs we're running over. (We're going to be in BIG trouble if MIH comes in and sees us talking about MIH bugs without reading the rest of the thread :smile:) Careful, she's a good aim with that shotgun.

Ooh, that gives me an idea. *grabs defibrillator paddles* ZAP[/size]

That seems to work really well on those MIH bugs!

ZAP STOMP ZAP CRUNCH STOMP CRUNCH ZAP ZAP STOMP CRUNCH CRUNCH STOMP ZAP[/size]

I think we're making some headway now!

Approaching 2000...
 
  • #734
Yeah, but the way it was going last night, I thought we'd have hit 2000 by morning. It's been a REALLY slow day here.

That's because you haven't been posting enough. Come on and put out already. let's get to 2000.

Wow, this is growing much faster than the quetion thread ever did. Sad.

I was trying to think of a word to describe Bart, catatonic came to mind.

Merriam Webster
Main Entry: cat·a·ton·ic
Pronunciation: -'tä-nik
Function: adjective
1 : of, relating to, being, resembling, or affected by schizophrenia characterized especially by a marked psychomotor disturbance that may involve stupor or mutism, negativism, rigidity, purposeless excitement, and inappropriate or bizarre posting
Don't know how accurate the first part is, but the second part seems right. Oh, sorry, that's bizarre posturing, well, that may be true too. :-p

Just teasing Bart. :biggrin:

Oh really,u didn't notice your absence.That's how much you mean to this thread: :devil:

Daniel.

As long as I'm around to swipe the 2000th post. I want a get out of banning free card so I can say what I really want to say about someone. :devil: :biggrin: (Okay, I have no idea who or what, but I just like the idea of having the opportunity). I'll have no chance if my connection stays so slow though...someone must be mucking about with servers!

30 second minimum between posts. I ran into it when I was trying to rapid-fire post for the 1000th reply. It nearly cost me that reply!

I think I'm getting too grumpy, better throw in some other smilies. :smile: :biggrin: :smile: :cool:

I think at this rate 2000 will be impossible to plan.

Daniel.
