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.

http://www.qwantz.com/index.pl?comic=413 Now here's one even I can't figure out. It starts out relevant to your banana-seat-bike episode, but then... I don't know. (if you haven't read so many of these comics, the voice coming from the sky is God)

Oh, it was a guest cartoonist. That's probably why... still don't get it though.

Yeah, you're right, moonbear, this is getting old... or else it's just getting late. So, in parting,


Overwhelming, massive force--the giant hand of God--pulls impurity out of you like a fine net catches the scum out of pondwater. Your body becomes transparent and clear.


A vast, warm light passes through you like through a raindrop.


Basking in the light, You feel a great weight lift off your shoulders. You want to take a deep breath. You feel loose.


You feel surrounded by warmth and prayer as you relax into God's love.

You already posted that. Is it your original work, or are you planning on citing the author of it?

WHat have you been doing with my thread! I turn my back and

*BOOM!*​

It's gone! More than 200 posts later I find it again! All disheveled and worn out. It had to listen to Bart most of that time.

:biggrin: Have a heart people.

No,Artman,300 useless posts you've been missing...It's not your thread.It's still undecided.

Daniel.
 
  • #937
Pff Artman's thread, please. As Dex said, you missed about 300 posts. You were not even in the running for the 2000, what a disgrace. You should just turn your head and leave here in shame :Smile:
 
  • #938
I posted #2000...:approve:

Daniel.

P.S.I'm so happy.
 
  • #939
Besides, it was my thread for hours. I was stuck listening to Bart all night about his Dinosaurs now (they've managed to squash most of the MIH bugs though). The poor thread would have been committing suicide if left alone with those comics.

What does the avatar mean...?Is it a cat there?

Daniel.
 
  • #941
lol, nice avatar MB!

And yes, the thread is back in good hands: Mine!
 
  • #942
Wash your hands...

Daniel.

P.S.Keep'em off my thread.
 
  • #943
No, moonbear, I have not already posted that. Yes, it is my creation. I've altered it slightly from the first time I posted it in a way that I think makes it better.

Considering the original is 100s of posts back, I wasn't going to compare word for word, but it sounded similar. I've never had much of a taste for poetry. Nothing wrong with poetry, just not my cup o' tea. I assume that's what it was meant to be. I guess it's like taste in art. I can appreciate some poetry with clear meter and rhyme; probably appeals to my left brain more than my right brain. When it's free verse, I just don't get it. I think it's the way some people enjoy paintings that contain realism and follow geometric principles in perspective, but just don't see anything in abstract art, though I do appreciate the humor in dadaism.

Yeah, unfortunately it's hard to see detail in a tiny avatar. It's a kitten with a rifle. :biggrin: I just thought it was too cute to not make into an avatar, especially while I'm trying to kill a thread.

Moonbear, you see the "humor in dadaism"? That's amazing... dadaism is a school of art that grew out of WWI and is concerned with meaninglessness.

Which they did through sarcasm and witty use of incongruity.

It was the artists essentially thumbing their noses at the art critics by purposely creating what they considered junk and laughing at the art critics and afficionados who were paying large amounts of money to buy "junk." It was never meant to be art. It's a great practical joke! :smile:
 
  • #958
No, which they did through random art containing no intended meaning. Personally I like the idea, though all I've ever known about it was a blurb in a textbook 5 years ago and a Wikipedia article just now.
 
  • #959
It's not a joke at all, it's a very serious endeavor. Dadaists believed that life is random and meaningless and tried to create "anti-art"--junk, but no more meaningless than anything else.

Do some more reading; she's right.
