AI Thread 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.

Yep, it's true.

I have our stock portfolio all ready! Should we plan on "inventing" Windows? :biggrin:

Do you suppose we could get a jump on the Woz and Jobs while we are at it? Maybe we should find little Billy Gates and teach him to play D&D, perhaps he would be so busy killing monsters that he would not bother to start a company. The possibilities are endless!

LITTLE

Have you put your LITTLE baby on the scales recently? This monster is out of control, and growing faster all the time.

Aww, it's just a little chubby. We'll take it out on a nice camping trip with its Uncle Artman and get it some exercise.

KILL IT... KILL IT NOW... before it overwhelms the whole site.

Today PF.. Tomorrow... ...

...the World! :devil: :approve:

If Queen Evo won't let me kill it maybe I should just trim some excess... Who should be declared excess?... Would I be in DANGER by naming any names?

Of course this implies that you have read all 222 pages... did you miss the part where we had a deep philosophical discussion about the meaning of life and how it relates to network forums. It was a real concern that perhaps someone who would take the time to read all 222 pages about nothing might be missing a big bite of life.

On the other hand it was felt that anyone who did not read 222 pages of nothing and simply assumed that it was about nothing might also be missing some of the better things in life.

But in general I think we can conclude that you are pretty much correct. This thread is pretty much a waste of electrons..


Can I KILL IT NOW?? Please my beautiful Queen Evo, let me kill it!
 
  • #2,061
You just read all 222 pages?


edit... looks like Integral beat me to it, and with much better content too

Were you not one of the prime debunkers of time travel in PF? :-p
How could I have missed this one!

Of course I have been debunking Time travel. If I did not discourage the genius posting in the Theory Development forum, they may beat me to the final solution. Then they may go back before I can get there and convince Evo that they are me, thus dooming Evo to another first bad marriage. We cannot have that!

You're one to talk about being a Johnny-come-lately! When did you appear? Well after the 1000th post. Very few of us have had the stamina to care for our baby from conception to the brilliant teenager it now is. Isn't it just the smartest and cutest thread you've ever seen? :approve:

There are far older threads than this one around. Little franzbear just happens to be much more mature for its age. Afterall, it had to develop street smarts at a very young age, what with all these killers around and all. You couldn't possibly expect a stupid quetion thread to keep up, could you? I mean, I do feel sorry for it. With everyone telling that one how stupid it is all the time, it just never had chance. Sure, little franzbear has had all the advantages I can provide for it, but I'm confident it would have been a bright, mature thread even without all those advantages. :approve:

I don't know, it may be a teenager compared to the stupid question thread, but its growth rate is unnatural. It is either possessed or has cancer. In either case it should be KILLED!

Please Evo, my sword (or was that ax?) is at your service and waiting your word.

Now now, no fighting in front of the kid. *holds hands over franzbear's ears* My sweet little thread shouldn't have to see things like that. Come along little franzbear, I think you've seen way too much around here. I think I'm going to have to start homeschooling you.

:redface: Oops. *takes hands off franzbear's ears* I said come along dear. Mommy's going to homeschool you. Now, here's the Bible. I think we should start with that.

(Pssst...franzbear, is it working yet? I know those types of parents always get me to run away from them and their children.)[/size]

Don't worry little franzbear, it will make you feel better, much better, really soon. Don't listen to all those other people who are telling you you're abnormal. You're just very special and gifted.

Are you ready to go Franzbear? I have some firecrackers that we can bring! Here, put these cherry bombs in your flammable PJ pants pockets, put these M-80's in your flammable PJ shirt pocket and, hum, out of pockets. You can carry the rest of these Black cats, skyrockets and these boxes of sparklers in the bag. Don't worry about the fuse...I mean string... sticking out of the bag. :biggrin: We're going to have such a good time, way out in the woods. :smile:

franzbear, get back in the house! You still have Bible studying to do. Your Uncle Artman is a really bad influence on you. He's going to go to Hell for it too. :-p You're far too gifted of a thread to go risking your neck wandering around in the woods. It's Bible camp for you!

(No, no, stop crying little franzbear. Remember? It's all part of our master plan. I wouldn't really make you go to Bible camp. Calm down honey. Just keep playing along.)[/size]

  • #2,076
Now, little franzbear, sweetums, your Uncle Danger is the worst of them all. I'll explain when you're older, but you're not allowed to go to the petting zoo with him. What part of the Bible are you reading there sweetikins? Genesis!? No, no, no, that's the naughty part. Too much begatting in there. Skip ahead a bit. Try Numbers. It's a fascinating book.

Too much begatting in there.
?INTERMISSION?
I hate to go off topic ( :rolleyes: ), but I just have to mention this. I have a record called 'The Begatting of the President' by Orson Welles. It was released by Mediarts in the early 70's. I can't listen to it because my turntable is sort of behind/under the computer, but the cover sample goes thusly:

And it came to pass that FDR begat Truman. And Truman begat Ike. And Ike begat JFK. And JFK begat LBJ. And all this was done that it might be fulfilled the prophecy which sayeth, "A little child shall be born in a grocery store in Whittier, and he shall sit upon the throne, and his administration shall be established greatly."

Now the begatting of Richard Nixon was on this wise...

Check it out if you get a chance. It's friggin' hilarious, especially delivered in that dead-serious Wellesian voice.

?END INTERMISSION?

Including this one, I think it's 788, unless I miscounted. Is there an easier way than looking up search results? It truncates those at 500, so I had to search over a few date ranges and add it all up. I thought someone mentioned someplace one can click to get an individual post count for a given thread, but I can't find anything to click that gives me that number.
 
  • #2,089
Click on the number of posts listed for the thread in the GD forum. You do have 788.
 
  • #2,090
Sigh... I turn my back for minute and look at the turn this thread has taken. It now has some meaningful content. BicycleTree you are a very bad influence. How dare you post useful info. Perhaps it is you who needs to read the rules.

Lets see, if this thread were to go on a diet, I could selectivly delete posts, Initillaly I was thinking danerously, but now I just may take a bicycle for a ride...

Where is Queen Evo any way?

I was a bit harsh earlier. I don't have to redo all of it. About 85%. The problem is that since she can't read, she spells phonetically when she's typing. Some of it comes out right.

Well, yeah, but then you have to translate it to English from Meowish. I still think it's best to just share the credit since it's a team effort.
