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.

Oh, take him out with you! He's been in there for ages and I can't seem to get him to leave. It costs me a fortune to keep feeding him (if I don't feed him, he eats all my whipped cream and chocolate syrup ).


Hmm.. well ok then. *Unlocks the gimp, takes the mask off*

Hey wait a minute.. its Danger! Who would've thought.. oh look he even has a PDA with wifi access! Moonie howcome you never noticed the heavy traffic and constant popups offering you various sexual activities with farm animals?? Just where, I ask you, did you think those came from, huh??

Comeon Danger, I'll get you a beer and we'll see if this one farmer down in Texas will let you stay in his barn. I heard his cousin been keeping the animals busy at night but finally they beat him to death one night.. tragic, but you know, life goes on, and you too need a place to crash :smile:

Dang it, rejected again. Not a good week for me.

What's your new method of killing poor franzbear? Starving him to death? or perhaps 1 of you are going to eat him? :rolleyes:


I demand 1 of the mentors lock this thread forever. It's against humans' rights. (ouch! when you locka thread, it's like starving someone to death.)

No, not eat franzbear. Though the horror of having Mk eat whipped cream off of him ought to send him into shock and kill him off.

So you want us to lock the thread and starve him to death? How cruel! I could never do that!

Uh oh! I think I accidentally dropped Franzbear in some paraformaldehyde. :eek: Now he's preserved forever!

Bah, we'll never be rid of him at this rate. How about we just saturate him with spice and make him turn into a giant sandworm?

I've watched the SciFi channel miniseries twice each. Good stuff.

What's Dune about? I guess its a recommended series. (the book)
 
  • #9,193
It's a cool fantasy book that was made into a movie (and I guess a miniseries too?).

I should dig it out to re-read. I haven't read it in a while, and never saw the movie (the book was so good that I was afraid the movie would ruin it).

Like some desert planet or something?

Looks like I'll be reading it this Christmas Break.

I've never read any of the sequels. Maybe I should look into those.

The second Dune book (Dune Messiah, I think?) is very good. The next 4 get worse and worse. There's a whole series of new ones written by someone else. I don't know anything about them.
 
  • #9,200
Mmmm, ok. So I should stop at the second book.

iirc, the miniseries was like a sequal to the book series or something like that.

The newest ones are written by the son of Dune's author. I guess I should get the second book and not bother with any beyond that.

I read a book called "Doon" once. It was about a desert planet that had all the beer in the world. instead of giant worms there were giant pretzels. instead of your eyes turning blue they turned bloodshot.

I have attempted to stop trying to kill franzbear... BUT I'M NOT GIVING UP NOW!

Moonbear said:
Yep, it's about people on a desert planet trying to get spice.
Yeah, but what's the spice? :devil:

Movies are hard to watch after reading the book.

I read "One flew over the cuckoo's nest" and the movie was horrible in comparison. I couldn't watch the whole thing, it was just not right.

I loved "Lorna Doone"! The BBC version, I have the DVD.

Lorna Doone is a pretty boring book, but I liked the classic comic version as a kid.

shane was also a better book than movie, at least i thought so in second grade. if it weren't for jack palance the movie would stink.

I couldn't get into the book, but the BBC movie was great. Very well done. I was on the edge of my seat towards the end when John is chasing Carver.

Heh, here is a review of the DVD, my sentiments exactly. Get this DVD! Beautiful soundtrack.

"This superb BBC/A & E production filmed in the English and Welsh countryside, is a haunting adventure and touching love story. The story line is quite a complex one and although it turns out happily, it keeps you on the edge of your seat right up to the very end. In fact you might want to keep a box of kleenexes handy!

John Ridd's father was killed by the outlaw Doones when John was a boy, and his life complicates further when he falls in love with Lorna, a member of this this evil family. The journey to find some way to be together is a theme throughout the movie. I did have to watch the movie for a second time before I completely grasped the many background details that motivated the characters.

The romantic chemistry between handsome Richard Coyle and classic beauty Amelia Warner took my breath away. It's the best love story I've seen in a while and it contains so many beautiful scenes that I will want to watch over and over again. The movie has many contrasts such as the beautiful English/Welsh countryside - the dark and forboding scenes with the Doones, the ruthless and evilness of Carver - the extreme goodness of John Ridd. During the darker scenes there is a fair amount of killing and violence and so in my opinion the movie is most appropriate for mature pre-teens to adults. It The soundtrack is beautiful as well, but I believe that at this time it is not available to purchase. In closing, I would just like to say that I think this is a gripping story and I would highly recommend this movie. It really has something for everyone."
