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.

I just got back from with my FAVORITE (:rolleyes:) friend, yes, the one who annoys me. I had to go with him to do something for a bar mitzvah project, I'm not sure why. He had to "help out the community". WHat we really did was dress up at the botanical garden as their ascot, Sammy Saguaro :rolleyes::groan:

hehe...speaking of costumes, franzbear, i got you a nice fluffy bunny rabbit costume so that you can go play with the wolves...you know how being a bear always intimidates them.

now run along and play with the nice foaming-at-the-mouth-snarling-blood-covered wolves.

its like one of those old guys who say 'hey kid, I got candy in my van'

Ooh, that's a great costume Franzbear! You should have rocketboy help you with your Halloween costume. I was thinking that you could be the Olympic torch. We'll wrap your legs together as the handle, and soak your shirt and hat in gasoline to light the torch part. But maybe rocketboy has some other ideas; I heard you have a lot of Halloween party invitations and you don't want to wear the same costume to all of them. :approve:

I think we should dress Franzbear up like a pumpkin and send him to see one of those pumpkin carving contests. :It'll be fun :smile:

First they carve them all up, (it takes hours just to do one, shaving away the skin, cut holes here and there, scraping out the insides...) then we can put a candle inside of him and let it shine through his skin and... :rolleyes: I mean then they put candles inside of the pumpkins and let them shine. :blushing: :smile: :devil:
 
  • #8,856
good idea! :smile:

franzbear, let's go hunting with your new rabbit costume :smile:

One of the other grad students wants to take a stack of pumpkins and set it on fire Halloween night. The problem we're having is that there's nothing to hold it up...

Does Franzbear burn?

We found that he does not burn, but he does get singded (Sp?) pretty good. Also, you could have some fun beating the fire out after you're done. :smile:

Nope, it's not a kill until you can resist posting. I was rather curious if you could resist...see, you just don't have the heart to kill Franzbear. :devil: :smile:
 
  • #8,863
I still beat the record.


and thread kill is when you post, and nobody else does for a period of time
 
  • #8,864
Of course you could jump on the burning Franzbear and pumpkin pile and stomp it out.
Here is a can of water that you could dump on the smoldering embers.



:rolleyes: <Just ignore that the can says GASOLINE on it.> :approve:

OK, I guess I can't let this thread get to 10,000 posts without posting in it once myself, so let me ask:

What is a 'franzbear'?

I've seen sporadic references to this creature and I think I remember seeing something about someone killing it. Is its head mounted above a mantle somewhere? Can we get photos?

Franzbear is the nickname of this thread and the e-child of Moonbear and Franznietzche. I see him as an indestructable 9 or 10 year old nephew, the kind who'll do anything once (or twice). As a matter of fact, Franzbear and I are due to go hang-gliding this weekend! I made his hang-glider myself out of some tissue paper, balsa wood, an anvil, and some string. We're going to launch from a mountain cliff. It'll be fun. :smile: :devil:

I hear there is rain forecast this weekend. Better add an extra layer of tissue paper. :approve:

Have a great time, yomamma! Don't worry about Franzbear. We're just about to start hang-gliding. Since Moonbear says it's supposed to rain, maybe we should put a good coat of model airplane dope on the wings first. Then if it gets cold, Franzbear can warm himself with these matches.
:rolleyes: <Ignore the fact that the model dope can says "GASOLINE"on it. Actually, it's a mixture of model dope and gasoline. :approve:
(They did move the smilies again! :cry: )

But the gasoline is evaporating off too quickly. I think we need something to water-proof the hang-glider better. How about hydraulic cement? You can apply that in the rain and it'll harden pretty quickly. (Cement is the next best thing to duct tape in this thread; good for fixing everything. :approve:)

the tallest roller coaster in the world is down for mantinence. I had to ride the 2nd tallest. :frown:

How about just setting the extremely flammable mixture on fire to evaporate the wetness? :smile: Or, what if we put a huge gas tite bag around franzbear and his hang-glider let the gas evaporate into that, then let franzbear light his matches to help warm him up? Although a cement covering does have potential (and a lot of weight) :smile: .:devil:

too late, they left this morning, i guess they made due. i heard the screams from Canada...sounded like artman.
 
  • #8,875
Nah, I don't think the screams were Franzbear. I think it was yomamma when that cold water hit him on the log ride! :smile:
 
  • #8,876
okay. I have left cedar point and I'm in cleveland. if franzbear catches on fire, don't put him out. :smile:
 
  • #8,877
What are you doing in Cleveland?
 
  • #8,878
the right question is..

what ARE you doing??
 
  • #8,879
Well, my first thought was, "What's in Cleveland?" But, I suppose it's just as reasonable to wonder why yomamma is always online even when on vacation instead of going out and seeing/doing things.
