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.

Cool sounding bird, and very elegant looking too...not sure elegant is the right word, but I can't quite think of a better word.

But every time I look at it, I end up in a staring contest with it. It wins every time though.

Trying to get back on point.

Wow, this is a long thread. I started at the beginning then jumped to the end (cause I don't have much time on this PC). Youse guys were hilarious with those action packed running dialouges in the first thirty or so posts. BTW Russ, I remember the feud you and Zero used to have in politics. I debated with you a few times too but nowhere near as much as you and Zero. I reregistered recently (say that three times fast), and it feels great to be back on board (whats going on with these unintentional puns?!?). I just wanted to ask if you guys think that the thread killer is the one who gets a LOCKED because at least to me that's kinda like red rum - ing a thread.

Just popping back into say hi. Having just got back from vacation, I've been pretty busy. I feel I'm neglecting my nephew, so I have a great trip planned for Franzbear! :smile: It's a secret for now, but I'll be back with the details later (It involves lead skies, a parachute jump from a helicopter a rocket powered backpack. :smile: Oh, it also involves Moonbear, some jello and a slip-n-slide, oops :redface: :rolleyes: those are for something entirely different.) Oh well, more later.

Alrighty. Where are you Franzbear? I have a great surprize for you! :approve:

Oh, here you are. First put on this blindfold, so it will stay a surprize. It'll be fun. o:)

Where is Moonbear with the jello and the slip-n-slide? I decided I can use them for the surprize afterall.

What's that Franz? Oh, I'm just wondering where Moonbear is. o:)
Okay, now step up here... BONK! ...and duck. Oops, I guess I should have told you that sooner.

Now, duck down again... BONK! ...after you get past the table, Oops, I guess I should have told you that sooner too.

Okay, now you can stand up full height again... BONK! ... in just a second. Oops, I guess I should have told you that sooner as well.

You're just accident prone tonight aren't you Franzbear. :devil:

I'm here...homeless in WV! :biggrin: You'll have to take care of Franzbear one more night. The authorities might take him away from me if they know his mom is homeless. By 12:01 AM, I won't be homeless anymore...just 3 hours and 8 min to go. :smile: I'm walking over to Applebees and hanging out at the bar for a while...what else should a homeless person do other than go get a drink?

existance

Aha!

I knew it! I'm not the only noob who misspells that

By the way, Moonbear, do you know any students who just attend your lectures or just lectures of professors in general without registering for that class? Like just sitting in on lectures?

Has anyone ever asked you if its ok? Or do you know any professors who had a few students in class who weren't registered for it?

It's been a long time since I taught undergrad classes, and we never allowed that in those (they were usually registered to full capacity, so not much room for anyone just auditing), but in graduate level courses, we sometimes let a post-doc just sit in, usually when they either just need to brush up on a lecture or two, or they are interested in seeing how different people teach the course so they can decide how to teach it in the future. Otherwise, to sit in on a class, usually you still need to be registered to audit it, which means you're officially allowed to be there and have a seat, but aren't required to take exams or do assignments and don't get a grade for it (it doesn't show up on a transcript, just helps someone keep track of how many students are in a classroom).

State universities. I would think a private university would be even fussier about it. You might be able to arrange something if you aren't interested in the entire course, but just one topic covered in the course, so only plan to sit in on a few lectures.

You can come home again, Franzbear. Your mommy isn't homeless anymore. And now we have LOTS of cardboard boxes to build mansions for the real homeless. :-p
