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.

Some people seem trying desperately to have dead threads lingering on. I've gone back to the last 100 or so really dead threads and counted up how many times each person was the one named as the last poster. Here's my list of PFs members who did the most attempts to keep the conversation up:
1)with 21- franznietzche
2)with 15- Moonbear
3)with 12- tribdog
4)with 9-tie-Ivan Seeking and Tsu

*Grabs hammer and nails and coffin. Starts nailing coffin shut.*

Oh, wait, if I do that, where will I sleep when the sun comes up? *long sigh*

*Starts prying nails back out of the coffin.*

Val Kilmer did not play doc holiday, he was doc holiday. Absolutely fantastic.
Yes he was. I love the line he says to the guy who says, "Hell, I got lots of friends."

He just says, "I don't."

Gotta love it.

Moonbear said:
I don't think I ever saw Doc Holiday. I'll take tribdog's word for it and assume I've missed nothing (that saves on movie rental fees too).
If you like western theme movies this is a good one. It's called "Tombstone," not Doc Holiday. In my opinion, it's not quite as good as Eastwood's "Unforgiven," but it is still good.


My thread, by the way. <sneaks off with the thread while the others run to the video store.>

Oh my God, that never occurred to me.

Oops, I mean of course "speeches."

I wasn't being rude and correcting you. a peach really does sound good to me right now.

I don't know, when I left last night, there weren't very many threads left that didn't have my name on them. It makes it a lot harder to quickly bury this one if I have to start replying to myself to bump threads in front of it (I'm not that obnoxious).

Darn it! How am I supposed to get it down there? It was so much easier when Russ had it.

Oh, what do you know. I have it again.
:smile:
 
  • #222
Instead of weeding out contenders as they fatigue, it seems we're acquiring more! Look at all the scavengers lining up to feed on the dead thread! :bugeye:

Artman, good move sending Russ after a Democrat. That should keep a few thread killers occupied.

I'll have to think about what new outfit to wear today to go along with the thread-stealing adventures planned. Yesterday's worked to distract some of the men and scare of franz for a bit, and having the sailors around was pretty useful, but those high heels were tough to run in, and the skirt didn't have any pockets to carry duct tape or weapons.

*rummages through closet*

And with a little slight of hand while talking, I've got the thread again.

Pulls out bag full of claymore mines.

My thread.

Plats claymores in circle around thread, pointing OUTWARD, sits on thread, holds detonator and waits for the next poster.

I dare ya, i'll blow you away if you even think about it.
 
  • #224
Oh, thank heavens I decided to wear this comfy flight suit today. Not overly attractive, but lots of pockets, and now I'm all ready to descend from the rope ladder on this helicopter to grab the thread from franz from above.

Now, franz, how were you planning on getting out of that circle of mines? :devil:

They're claymore mines, silly moonbear.

*picks one up, points it at her, detonates*

Claymore mines sit upright out of the ground and launch shrapnel horizontally when detonated, typically by tripwire, though you could do it by pulling the pin out yourself with the wire.

The also say "THis side Towards Enemy" on the front, just so no one gets confused, like me.

Too slow, I've already climbed up the ladder and am well clear of you and your mines.

I've got plenty of em, and I'm still siting right here, on the thread.

Got a few grenades too.

Hey Moonbear, did you see the interesting Brain Teaser that Tribdog created that used our names over in the Brain Teaser Forum? I already figured it out.



(while franz and Moonbear head over to work on the brain teaser, I steal the thread.) :biggrin:

I already saw it yesterday. You can't distract me that easily. You should be appreciative I sent the Coast Guard after you so you can still be here to keep trying to steal the thread, otherwise you'd still be lost at sea. You keep distracting franz while I hang onto this here thread.

*aims claymore*

*detonates*

That'll teach the schmoe to touch my thread.

Keep trying suckers, I've got enough claymores to hold off an army of tribdog's. I can't be touched!

My name wasn't even mentioned in the brain teaser. Why would i go look?

I still have plenty of claymores for you too.

I know. I figured you'd be frantically PMing the three flaming Tribdogs to find out why.

Or at least go after them with your claymores.

Oh I am grateful. Oh by the way, since you saw it yesterday, you may not be aware of what you are wearing in that thread, or what you are doing.

Hey, tribdog, look! franz has explosives to play with! Go see what happens if you play with the detonator.

Why do I never understand any of these threads? The ones that look like fun and I don't get them?

The three flaming trbdogs inspired a song. Sung to the tune of the last verse of "The Twelve Days of Christmas"

"The Twelve Days of Thread Kill"
By Artman

On the twelve day of "Thread Kill" PF gave to me,
Twelve funky Moonbear outfits,
Eleven bizarre Artman characters,
Ten dextercioby redirects
Nine claymore mine fields
Eight frisky seamen
Seven posters fighting
Six MIH sneak attacks
Five Evo Warnings
Four confused posters
Three flaming Tribdogs
Two nasty posts by Andy
And the Number one Thread Killer franznietzsche!

(Don't go back and count I made up the numbers)

The threads mine by the way. Nothing lives after one of my songs.

Ooh, but it can't die yet. You've just given me 12 outfits and I've only gotten to wear two of them so far. 10 more to try out! :biggrin:

I think there is an art to creating an awkward silence. That's how you get people to flee a thread.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing just the *farrt* same thing the other day. *looks around hoping nobody heard that*

hatches an idea
I wonder if I could edit a post so that I have the final word, but it doesn't show up at top of the page afterwards.
 
  • #247
A better idea would be to create another account, and then post under tribdog in this thread, and then post in every other thread in this forum under your new account.

Speaking of which i have this bad sleep habit.

*points claymores at unqares listeners*

Whenever i have a dream or nightmare where i get hurt and then wake up, my mind carries the perception of pain over into my waking consciousness.

*readies the pull string*

For example i just woke up from a dream where i fell off the amst of ship all the way down to the deck. Broken bones, caoughing blood. Much Pain. FOllowing this i woke up. I tired to move. BAAD idea. My body felt like it was on fire and had been systematically pounded with a demolition hammer (jackhammer). My body was in fact fine, my mind was just continuing to imagine the pain it had imagined during the dream.

*pulls string, blowing all other thread killing contenders to smithereens*

Did i mention pain makes me homicidal?

*takes, thread, disappears back into the darkness*

I'm going to have to look up that word, "unqares." Maybe we should add it to the Word a Day thread? Well, since I've never heard of the word, it must not mean me, so I'm okay. Besides, I still have that bear protection suit. I haven't worn that into the thread yet. Maybe that'll be tomorrow's outfit. I'll document how hot it is, how heavy it is to walk around in, whether I can stand up or sit down, and what the best approach to the call of nature is while wearing that suit. Yep, that ought to kill the thread if it manages to survive the night. :smile:
