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.

Starting tomorrow, I'm on vacation for a week so I won't be around :cry: Take good care of poor Franzbear. Here is his electric bathing suit, see to it that he plugs it into a standard ungrounded outlet before swimming. Here is his arsenic toothpaste, make sure he brushs three times a day. Here is his jet powered skateboard, make sure that he only plays with it on the highway. His noose for the choking game is in the closet, remember to count to 1000, before beginning to search for him.

Oh my, there are just so many things to remind people to do to care for the poor dear. :cry:

Nope, just lots of 2 minute breaks. And since I'm wrapping up stuff in the lab, I'm not starting anything else new now. In two weeks, we'll see how well you do (well, unless it takes 3 days for my stuff to get delivered and I have nothing to do but sit on the floor of my new home in a sleeping bag with my laptop (thankfully, my laptop has a DVD player, so if all else fails, I'll find the video rental store and watch movies on my laptop...it'll be just like camping, but without the bugs and rain).

I had a good laugh yesterday. My contact person at the moving company called and was doing what I guess is his usual reassuring spiel. He was basically trying to tell me that most people are nervous about moving and if I have any concerns at all, to call him. Then he started talking about how people especially seem to have a sudden separation anxiety when they see that truck pull away with all their worldy possessions. That's the part that made me laugh. My last move was do-it-yourself, in the middle of the night because there were snow storms and all the trucks were being returned late and there weren't enough to go around for everyone who had them reserved, and yes, I did just say it was the middle of a snowstorm, my car slid off the ramp of the tow dolly for it, so I had to leave it behind and return a few days later for it. I think I got 2 hours of sleep and hit the road and arrived just in time to close on my house. So, I'm not going to mind at all when someone else does all the packing and drives away with all my stuff! The worst thing that happens is they fall off a mountain with it...I got full insurance coverage on everything, so if that happens, they'll just have to pay me to buy all new stuff. I told one of my friends this, and his comment was that that's not a worst case scenario, considering how old most of what I own is, that would be the best case scenario for me! :smile:

The only separation anxiety I'll have is with PF. :biggrin:



ah the life

that just makes me want to move to the Caribbean and buy a banana hammock for bed and a solar powered refrigerator for any foods and beverages :rolleyes:

Oh, don't worry. That timing works out just fine. I'm still around for the week to take care of Franzbear for you. He's going to have so much fun swimming. Thanks for getting him a nice new bathing suit. That'll be great to keep him warm in this ice cold water we have to swim in here.

Then, when I hit the road for the move, you'll be back to watch him. He discovered his first facial hair yesterday and has just been begging to learn to shave. It probably would be better to have a man around to teach him how to shave his face, but I guess I'll manage to help him out on that if you're not around. Now, you're supposed to use one of these straight razors, right? I got it honed nice and sharp for him. I'm not sure how to use it myself, so I figure I'll just leave him to trial and error to find his own method. I got a stack of stiptic pens and plenty of toilet paper in case he cuts himself.

Better make that a double espresso. :biggrin:

(On a side note, I actually DO need a cup of coffee in the morning to steady my hands! I'm that addicted to caffeine. :cry: But, I have to be careful, because if I drink too much, then my hands become unsteady again. It's hard to find just the right balance. One day I was supposed to be doing surgery on mice, and hadn't thought about it, and had a nice big latte after lunch and before doing the experiment...I had to get someone else to do the work because I absolutely could not steady my hands enough to do what I needed to do! :eek:)

that makes me wonder.. is there any better stimulant than caffeine?

perhaps the ones that haven't been schedule yet

I'm actually considering writing a letter to attorney general so he would put Nicotine into Schedule I substance - no medical uses, high probability for addiction

All the smokers can kiss my (_._)

I recently came across a study that indicated caffeine only helps maintain alertness in a sleep-deprived person at doses around 600 mg, which is about the equivalent of 8 cups of coffee (so Ivan is okay with his pot of coffee at a time). Modafinil (that drug you keep yakking on about in the bio forum :biggrin:) had about the same effect (lower dosage though). I think the side effects were about the same too, but I could be mis-remembering that. So, might as well stick to enjoying your coffee rather than popping pills. Oh, yeah, this was a study conducted by the air force...when there's a study looking at effects of various drugs to keep people alert when severely sleep-deprived, they almost always have a hand in it somewhere.

You said you were 19 in another post. Wait, your profile says 1967.

Happy almost birthday! I'll switch ages with you, then you can actually be as old as you feel. :-p
 
  • #7,913
Thats a good memory 'mum' been a while since i said my age last, 1967 was just a random year when i was filling it out. The rest is all good though.

And thank you.
 
  • #7,914
Ooh, a weekend birthday! Those are the best!

Andy, have you heard anything from JimmyP in a while? The bum seems to have abandoned us again. :frown:
 
  • #7,915
Not recently, but he will be joining me at the beverage station 2mo night, so three cheers to the beer and all hail (or is it hale) the ale!
 
  • #7,916
Have a great time celebrating your birthday and say hi to JimmyP from me.
 
  • #7,917
Drink a couple of beers for your mom (and JimmyP's mom). :-p

Okay, Franzbear, since your Uncle Artman isn't around, why don't we go shopping to get you your new school supplies. Oh, how nice, it looks like your uncle signed you up for archery lessons. You'll enjoy that. Hmm...this nice shirt with the red concentric circles on it will be fun to wear for that class. Oh, and he got you onto the football team too! How wonderful! Padding and helmet? Nah, that's for the sissy boys; all your cousins who play Rugby would laugh at you if you wore that stuff.

Okay, let's get the other stuff. You'll need scissors for art class. Oh, no, not those wimpy safety scissors! Here, take these really pointy ones, they're better for running wi...um...I mean for cutting detailed things. No kid should be without an X-acto knife. We'll just toss all the extra blades into this pencil case so you can just reach in and grab whatever you need. Hey, they have electric pencil sharpeners over here. Why don't you stick your finger in each one to find out which works the best?

I so enjoy shopping for school supplies. :biggrin:

*stuffs Franzbear into CT scan machine and turns the full power*

*sets the dial at 5000 cSv*

Yes.. yes.. Victory is mine!
 
  • #7,920
Okay, Franzbear, you can come out now and look at the pictures of your head. Hmm...not much in there.

Cronxeh's avatar suddenly changed! That startled me, I got used to the blue one and now it's suddenly red! I see he's celebrating his 666th post. :devil:
