AI Thread 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.

Nope. I've had it with this. I'm taking out this thread's feeding tube.

There. We'll see how long it lives on it's own.

Nothing. It should be long dead, but people keep giving it a stay of execution. :-p

Joking aside, it's impossible for this thread to die. The nearer it gets to death the more people are motivated to post in it.

You're right, that was just wrong of BicycleTree to suggest posts without smilies! :mad: Never, ever take away our smilies! :devil:

Anyone have any idea where the veins are in a thread? I can't seem to find one. :confused:
 
  • #1,312
No, seriously, read some of your posts and mentally remove the smilies from them. They read very differently.

I believe the thread has become dehydrated from the dry wit.

Isn't the thread on life support? If so just shoot it into the IV lines that should do the trick. :biggrin:

The best way to destroy a thread is by burning.

But what do we set on fire? Tell me and I've got 20 gallons of rocket fuel that could be atomized in the general area of the thread the one spark and poof no more thread, (and half of the city block it was on :devil: )

Someone else take the night shift. I'm pooped.

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I'll leave for you this thread to keep,
If it should die before I wake,
Don't post again for pity's sake.

And now for a bit of creepiness as I read this post Enter Sandman by Metalica started playing on the radio. This is getting really weird.

That sounds like a good name for a song. I don't think I've heard it though. Have you heard "misery" by Greenday?

Don't worry, it will all be over soon. As soon as I'm done injecting the blue stuff, I'll light the match to destroy all the evidence (and make Argentum happy...I'm more and more convinced there's a pyromaniac gene on the Y chromosome). :biggrin:

Can't say that I have, the radio station that I listen to plays mostly metal rock, and regular rock & roll from the 70's 80's and early 90's.

And yes Moonbear BicycleTree did suggest the burning I just suggested the means to the end. And for the pryo gene found only in men i have to slightly disagree with you my Mom is a pyro (had to have the house with the fire place) and one of my exes was more of a pyro than me. It was surprising that on camping trips there was any brush or combustibles left in the forest.

Ah, good to know. It might still be genetic then, but not on the Y chromosome. :smile:

You won't get any argument on that from me. Hey let's start a fund to find out which gene it is then the pharmcuitals can develop a drug to get all of you non pyros to start liking fire.

hehehehe Burn them ALL! :devil:

I was trying to stay out of this thread, but what the hay.

Who is the leading poster here?

Also, it seems like a good place to dump some really important stuff - :biggrin:

Democracy is that form of government where everybody gets what the majority deserves. (I think Russ will like this one)

Diplomacy is the ability to tell someone to "get lost" in such a way that they look forward to the trip.

Diplomacy is the art of letting someone else have your way.

Diplomacy is the art of saying "nice doggy" until you find a large enough rock.

Do not believe in miracles, rely on them.

Do someone a favor and it becomes your job.

Do whatever your enemies do not want you to do.

Doing a good job around here is like wetting your pants in a dark suit; you get a warm feeling, but nobody notices.

Don't be irreplaceable; if you cannot be replaced, you cannot be promoted.

Don't be so open minded that your brain falls out.

Don't bite the hand that has your paycheck in it.

Don't blame me; nobody asked my opinion.

Don't do today that which can be put off till tomorrow.

Don't force it, get a bigger hammer.

Don't get lost in the shuffle, shuffle along with the lost.

Don't lend people money...it gives them amnesia.

Don't let your mouth write no check that your tail can't cash. - Bo Diddley

Don't look back, something may be gaining on you.

Don't make your doctor your heir.

Don't mess with Mrs. Murphy!

Don't permit yourself to get between a dog and a lamppost.

Don't stop to stomp on ants when the elephants are stampeding.

Don't try to have the last word; you might get it.

Don't worry about the sand in the Vaseline, they don't use it anyway.

Due to recent budget cuts and downsizing, the light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off.

Each problem solved introduces a new unsolved problem.

Eagles may soar, free and proud, but weasels never get sucked into jet engines.

Early to rise and early to bed makes a man healthy and wealthy and dead.

Eat the rich. The poor are tough and stringy.

Dumping? Now you think this is a dumping ground? The poor poor little thread. :rolleyes:
 
  • #1,333
Moonbear, I am not surprised if you are the leader here.

Sorry about 'dump' - poor choice of word. I should've stated - this seems the appropriate venue to impart these important points of wisdom. :biggrin:

Not that they are really important.

Just have a look around. It is Moonbear, but temporarily.

Oh, okay. In that case, I'm sure they will be very comforting to the thread in its final hours. :approve:

Hmm..moonbear, I thought you'd developed a maternal instinct for this thread.

Evidently, you are the Devouring Mother type, like the Kali goddess in Hindu mythology.

Do you have kids, by the way?

I don't think I'm very good at being maternal. :rolleyes: Just trying to put this thread out of its misery.

Some of the serious competitors (sth like Dex, Nietzsche, Bart, tribdog) are already out. Only Moonbear is still stubborn, and recently Astronuc. But MB will also surrender eventually!

Once again, my ability to inhilalate a thread by just posting within it has been underestimated. Just for that, I am going to pull the plug on this thread.

<pitchunck, plop>

There, let's see how long this thread can last without power. :devil:
