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.

Thanks, I now understand the reference. I did not think it was that simple. I think there was an episode of the simpsons that was somewhat similar.

MB will probably thank you as well: Mainly for getting off the topic of my penis :smile:

IIRC, delighted and surprised little girls got to hear their new Barbies exclaim "Eat lead, Cobra!" while confused little boys were stunned to hear their burly G.I. Joes sigh "Let's plan our dream wedding."

:smile: That's something I'd have loved to have seen!

Somehow I've lived my whole life oblivious to the talking version of Barbie...and that's probably a good thing.

Yes, I believe that Simpson's episode was heavily influenced by the "Barbie liberation" groups.

Anyway, back to matt's penis...

Yeah so I am thinking that since I have a thing for girls with glasses, I could swap out her glasses with another pair that have really magnified lenses. At least until I can afford an operation :smile:

Well, you'd be out of luck with me. I don't wear glasses other than sunglasses (nope, no contacts either). :-p With me, what you see is what you get. I never even wore braces. My teeth aren't perfect, but it seemed only my mom was concerned about that and not me, so when she wanted to drag me off to the orthodontist, I refused and told her I was fine the way I was. How often do you hear a teenager making a statement like that? (Though, all my friends had glasses, and I really did want those because I actually liked the look of them!) :rolleyes:

Do not worry: My thing for women with glasses has been going down over the past few years.

I have always wanted to wear glasses; however, my vision is too good. It is probably a good thing I guess: I would probably look like an ultra nerd with glasses.

Is that as opposed to just a regular or super nerd? :-p

Ooh, I like that idea...It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's Super Nerd! Can build networks faster than a speeding bullet and leaps over slide rules in a single bound! :biggrin:

:smile: I like that.

That is as to a regular nerd. Right now most people who know me just think I am smart. However, if I wore glasses than they would all think that I was just a nerd.

I wear glasses. Ok, here's me with glasses, not so hot.

Oh, I think I need to revise that:

I like.

Evo, do you realize how young you look with your glasses on? If I didn't already know your approximate age, I'd think you were still a teenager from that photo!

Well, I've already admitted I like the look of glasses. Maybe it's the studious stereotype that goes with it that makes people immediately look smarter if they have glasses on. :rolleyes:

Awww, thanks. :shy: I noticed that I am the ONLY woman in my office that wears glasses, they all wear contacts!

Gives Moonbear eternal immunity from banishment. :biggrin: I thank my mother for keeping me covered from head to toe whenever I went outside as a child. I looked like a freak then, and was shunned by everyone, but I have no wrinkles now. :-p

edit: Those are my new trifocals...vision does get worse as you get older. :frown:

Glasses are hot!

I wear fake blue eye contacts sometimes. Girls LOVE it, even if they know they're fake!

Note: I do know that comment might be immature, which might not be at my current status. :approve:

It's amazing how much of the visible signs of "aging" seems to be sun damage. I'm starting to notice some fine lines on my face, but not nearly so much as other people my age are showing. I have always had such pale skin that if I didn't slather myself in sunblock, I got burnt to a crisp (I can probably blame those few crispy episodes for the lines I am getting now).

Sun damage to skin is what causes premature aging. The child of Evo has been sunbathing for years and would not listen to me. Until recently. As of last fall she has stopped going to the tanning salon and refuses to go outside now without sunblock. She finally caught on. She saw the difference it made when you get older. :approve:

I guess it's the final revenge for us geeky bookworms who never got much sun as kids to be more wrinkle-free as adults. :biggrin:

Good morning, anyone?
 
  • #1,130
Good morning mattmns! How did your history studying go last night? I had the thread for a whole 9 1/2 hours! The signs all say I'm going to kill it, in the library with a candlestick. :biggrin:
 
  • #1,131
Good, thank you. I had a nice round of selective studying. I should be able to crank out a B.

As for you killing the thread. Yeah you probably will, I certainly know I won't be :cry:
 
  • #1,132
Aww, there, there. *pats mattmns on the shoulder* There are always other threads for you to kill.
 
  • #1,133
Like which thread? I think I should start my own thread, and then kill it. Yeah that will get my experience up, right?
 
  • #1,134
Did u miss me??I thought not.I'm back in business now.The purpose is the same:kill this thread.

Daniel.

  • #1,137
Play by what?Oh,you most mean post #3000.That's mine,i can feel it.I already have post #2000.

Daniel.
 
  • #1,138
I've taken it upon myself to be the MC since I inadvertantly started this race with post #3. So every hundred pages I give a break announcement to do a play by play recap and commentary on who is in the lead for "Grand Master Thread Killer"!
