No, but I like to be up for a little bit before I start school. I also eat breakfast, and usually leave at about 6:35-40ish.

Darn you! This thread was quickly sinking down the page. Last I looked, it was nearly 3/4 of the way down, ready to be buried, and here you drag it back out again. :biggrin:
 
  • #1,253
Sorry o:)
 
  • #1,254
No you're not, and we both know it! :biggrin:
 
  • #1,255
Yeah you are right. I came here, and the first thing I did was find this thread and post in it :-p
 
  • #1,256
You're addicted to thread killing. A terrible affliction, isn't it?
 
  • #1,257
It is quite terrible indeed.
 
  • #1,258
I can't think of any witty comeback to that. :frown:
 
  • #1,259
Well then you should have not posted, you should have let me kill the thread :smile:

(I've got one.)

Knowing you're addicted is the first step in seeking a cure. I think you should go and seek the serious help that you need to overcome this terrible affliction. I will remain here with the thread. :biggrin:

Not bad Artman, not bad at all.

We can't leave you with the thread. There was just a little bit of puking in the thread and you ended up spending 3 days in bed. How can we allow someone who let's illness interfere with thread-watching duties take care of a delicate thread like this one?

Delicate? This thread is harder to kill than a rich relative. :devil:

:smile: But I'm getting better at stunning it for prolonged periods of time. I can sense it's getting weaker, it can't keep up the fight for much longer. Muwahahahahahahaha! :devil:

I'm going to post a new thread soon. I'm asking you all to come to a meeting there. It will be at the "Genco Olive Oil Co." here on GD. Watch for it.

Not easily seen, but quickly smelled. Fish heads! Ugh! Better clear everyone out of the thread until we can air the place out again. Darn thread mafia!
 
  • #1,269
Yeah, Moonbear will take care of this thread good, see. Anybody interfering will just hafta go wit' it, see. :devil: We keep it all within the family, see.

<A sinister figure, wearing a dark trench coat, crosses the thread. He's dragging a heavy, sort of horsehead shaped, object in a blanket behind him. He slips the object into bed with the thread, pulls the covers over it. He sneaks away leaving the unsuspecting thread in bed, but not completely alone.>
 
  • #1,271
Do you think after all this thread has been through that it's going to be scared off by a little horsehead in bed? It's already hiring a hitman to take out the hitman! :smile: :devil:

this is getting out of control.
 
  • #1,274
No, no, we have everything under control here. Just step back and give the thread some room while us professionals take care of it.
 
  • #1,275
Knowing this thread it may use itself to sew the horse's head back on the horse and turn it into a zombie... and use the horse to trample the hitman.

What about if we use the cone of silence?
 
  • #1,282
Then we unwittingly teach the thread Zen.

Then only the thread will know what we're planning because we won't be able to hear each other. :-p

That's why I called the meeting at the Olive Oil Co.

By the way does anyone else hear that ticking?

Yes, there are more important matters here that he is neglecting. :mad:

I find it unforgiveable that he hasn't introduced his girlfriend on PF. Afterall, couples who PF together stay together...er...um...something like that anyway.
 
  • #1,291
Agreed!
What right do they have to snuggle together without a laptop between them?

LOL! It could be. Reminds me of a story some folks around here told me (it happened before I started working here). Shortly after 9/11, when everyone (okay, not everyone, but a lot of people) were running around with that mass panic attitude, someone here pulled the fire alarms and called the bomb squad in because he heard beeping coming from one of the lockers. It was nothing but a regular timer like everybody uses in the labs here that one of the students had left in their locker (if the batteries run low, they will just beep every few minutes to warn you to replace the batteries). :rolleyes: Of course it also told everyone that this guy doesn't get into his lab very often if he can't recognize the beep of a lab timer (half the time the problem is figuring out whose timer is beeping, not that it is a timer). Anyway, people love sharing that story around here. :-p

Darn you! I had the thread for OVER 24 hours! It was creeping way down the page, I was sure it was a goner this time. The poor thread just wants to die peacefully and you keep putting it back on life support. :cry:
