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.

Agreed!
What right do they have to snuggle together without a laptop between them?

It could be a clock.

LOL! It could be. Reminds me of a story some folks around here told me (it happened before I started working here). Shortly after 9/11, when everyone (okay, not everyone, but a lot of people) were running around with that mass panic attitude, someone here pulled the fire alarms and called the bomb squad in because he heard beeping coming from one of the lockers. It was nothing but a regular timer like everybody uses in the labs here that one of the students had left in their locker (if the batteries run low, they will just beep every few minutes to warn you to replace the batteries). :rolleyes: Of course it also told everyone that this guy doesn't get into his lab very often if he can't recognize the beep of a lab timer (half the time the problem is figuring out whose timer is beeping, not that it is a timer). Anyway, people love sharing that story around here. :-p

Darn you! I had the thread for OVER 24 hours! It was creeping way down the page, I was sure it was a goner this time. The poor thread just wants to die peacefully and you keep putting it back on life support. :cry:

This thread has the elixir of life and will never, ever die.

Nope. I've had it with this. I'm taking out this thread's feeding tube.
*shnnnuuuurrr-pop!*
There. We'll see how long it lives on it's own.

Nothing. It should be long dead, but people keep giving it a stay of execution. :-p

Well, Congress keeps meddling too.

Joking aside, it's impossible for this thread to die. The nearer it gets to death the more people are motivated to post in it.

Do you ever wonder how your conversations would be without smilies?

HOW dare you sugest something so draconian and inhuman! For shame

You're right, that was just wrong of BicycleTree to suggest posts without smilies! :mad: Never, ever take away our smilies! :devil:

Anyone have any idea where the veins are in a thread? I can't seem to find one. :confused:
 
  • #1,312
No, seriously, read some of your posts and mentally remove the smilies from them. They read very differently.

I believe the thread has become dehydrated from the dry wit.
 
  • #1,314
Isn't the thread on life support? If so just shoot it into the IV lines that should do the trick. :biggrin:

The best way to destroy a thread is by burning.

Goodbye sweet thread, you were dearly loved! :cry:

But what do we set on fire? Tell me and I've got 20 gallons of rocket fuel that could be atomized in the general area of the thread the one spark and poof no more thread, (and half of the city block it was on :devil: )

Someone else take the night shift. I'm pooped.

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I'll leave for you this thread to keep,
If it should die before I wake,
Don't post again for pity's sake.

And now for a bit of creepiness as I read this post Enter Sandman by Metalica started playing on the radio. This is getting really weird.

That sounds like a good name for a song. I don't think I've heard it though. Have you heard "misery" by Greenday?
