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.

Give Pamela Anderson his address. That'll fix him! :devil:

They had what's his name, the weird basketball player with all the piercings and tattoos who posed naked for Peta ( I personally thought that was a better ad for convincing people that we needed more fur to cover people up)...Dennis Rodman...that's it...anyway, he was on the Tonight Show, talking about posing for Peta, and then started talking about going out running with the bulls! Uh huh, he's really committed to the cause. LOL!

But, um, yeah, where's Peta when you really need them? But, you have to admit, it's a great scam! If he gets the money, he's 50 grand richer, and if he doesn't get it all, nobody's going to complain if he decides it was close enough to give the little bunny a reprieve.

Which is what makes it such a great scam. :biggrin: Send me $50K or I'll eat my pet chicken! :devil:

Hey! How do we know he even has the bunny? Maybe he just bought a picture of a bunny and he's faking us out. I mean, think about it... if it was a real bunny, wouldn't Hypatia have sniffed it out and eaten it already?

How long has the site been up? 19k, and it took him what, a few hours to make the site, a few bucks for the bunny, and of course the bandwidth on the site, that sounds great. *thinks of making scam websites and living easy for life*

Who's to say that he really did get $19,000, though? Seems hard to believe to me. He might be doing that just to make his site look good.

On the other hand, browsing the site, I see that he has a store of some kind. Many (maybe all) of the products have fake pictures on them so it may be a fake store. I don't know. But if it's real that may be where he's getting his money.

Why lie about the $19,000 though? There is no real reason to. I find it more plausible that he has in fact got that money, rather than that he his faking that.

Quick, Hypatia! Get over here and fetch that bunny! If it's going to be eaten, then it should be by us. (I'm still mad that the first one got away. :mad: )

Meh, that cute bunny is just a tough old rabbit by now. It is cute in the pictures though. I like its caramel color.

If he doesn't really have the bunny, then it would be fraud. He has to have the bunny for it to be legal...I think. :confused: Could this be considered extortion?

^ look at his site, click on legal.

Sad news for me right now, I hope this is not true: My dad's, dad's, mom's, mom's, dad's, dad was born in Canada.

Dang! He should have set a higher limit. The Hasenpfeffer and Lapin Braise look pretty good!

I kind of like that BBQ Cafe Jr Raglan T-shirt. The "Made In USA" appeals to my patriotic side, plus the T-shirt has kind of a nice bust line. Maybe I can set the T-shirt in the corner and look at it whenever I'm feeling depressed.

Edit: Oh, that is so cute - http://www.savetoby.com/gallery/12.php

What a great idea! I'm copying his idea and I'm working on my website, as I speak. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a rabbit. I'm going to have to settle for a "Save Penny, the Cockroach" site.

Dang! I can't believe how fast those little suckers are! You'd think if you put a cockroach on a plate full of lettuce and carrots, it would stay on the plate long enough for you to get a picture. Now I'm going to have to reach way behind the refrigerator and try to find him ... Aaagh! He has friends! Aaugh! My hand!

Well I am just hoping that there were two Mary E. Bangles born in Iowa around 1867 *crosses fingers*

Let me guess ... you finally found your long lost ancestor, Mary E. Bangles ... only to find out she died in infancy!

I hate it when ancestors do that!

Whoops I seem to have forgotten some punctuation or something. Her name was Mary Ellen Bangle.

So does that make Suzanna Hoffs a cousin or something? :confused:

Hmm I had to look up Sussana Hoffs, but I guess it could :confused:

I'm just going to lie here in the weeds for a while and see if anybody else picks up on that...

I'm sure if it isn't, we're probably only an edition of Webster's away from google officially being declared a verb.

Have you ever googled google? What happens? Does it implode or anything?
 
  • #1,468
I have, a few times on accident. You don't want to know what happens :
