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.

Get thee back to the 'Weird Food' thread, barbarian!

Nothing weird about sushi. :biggrin: Though, I do like the sea urchin one, which most people think is pretty weird (unless they're Japanese of course). :approve:

It's all part of my attempts at energy conservation. I don't waste energy cooking food that I can eat raw. :-p

Yes, but when you found her, you felt she was different, right? I remember you talking about her before. I'm glad that you are going after what you want. Finding the right person is so rare, and if you let it go, you may never find it again.

No, not quite actually.

I first met her, 2 1/2 years ago. I actually found her attractive on multiple levels even then. But i was seeing someone else at the time, and we just became friends. The next semester we had a philosophy class together, which was the first time i ever had any serious intellectual discussions with her. The next fall, i broke up with my then girlfriend, and about a month later started pursuing this girl. That was a year and a half ago. Like i said, bullheaded am I.

If you mean the eggs, that was Sheena's favourite, and I kind of liked it too. Not because of the taste, but because they explode when you bite them. It's sort of like sardine-flavoured pop-rocks.

If you were serious about conservation, you'd eat only Jello. Think of all the energy you waste chewing.

That's really gross actually

Indeed. Storebought jello too, not the stuff you have to add water to yourself. Way too much effort there.

Nope, not eggs. Those are good too, but not the one I was talking about. Not many sushi places even offer it, because most Americans won't eat it. You have to go to a place where there are enough Japanese customers to make it worth their while putting it on the menu.

Nope, Jell-O isn't for eating, it's for wrestling in. :-p

Absolutely. Now if they could do something about making those lids easier to peel off... :wink:

I never much cared for sushi. Tastes like raw fish to me.

For me, it isn't so much the effort as the wait! When I'm in the mood for Jell-O, I'm in the mood for it NOW, not in 2 hours after it has cooled and solidified. Even if you do the ice-cube short-cut, it still takes a while to set.

That would be caviar. MB is talking about sea urchin roe - called uni in Japan.

Yep, that's it, uni. I was getting confused for a bit, because I did think it was eggs (that's what roe is), but they don't pop, like caviar, so then I thought maybe it wasn't the roe.

That's what I meant. Sheena just told me that it was sea urchin eggs and shared her dish with me. I wasn't really into learning too many details. She had to guide me very carefully, because if I eat something that's touched a shrimp, I'd be dead.

Oh, I see, she was the gold-digger type. I don't think I'd take someone with a shrimp allergy to a sushi place (or any kind of seafood place for that matter). Just no guarantee that there wasn't shrimp on the prep surface just before they made your sushi.

Strangely enough, she knew that I don't have any gold and didn't care.

It was her usual place, and she told the staff about me. They were very careful.

Oh poo. I've only been here a few days and I think I've already killed the "Separation between church and state" thread. Not a good sign. Gotta change tactics.

Sushi is the best thing since the round wheel. Nothing like a big platter of sushi to get me all excited.

I'm still partial to triangular wheels myself, but call me old-fashioned...

Oh, don't let it worry you too much. Politics threads are especially frail and prone to being killed off quickly. It's a good place to start out honing those skills though. It'll take a lot more to kill this one. :biggrin:

Has there been a wheel shape other than round? :smile:

But the square ones are so much fun, especially the bumps...and those darn right angles are so sexy...

I think I'd better find out if you're male or female before I get too deeply into this conversation. :biggrin: (I'm not going to go by the name; I'm pretty sure that Moonbear isn't furry and MIH isn't a calculator.)

Well, I'm certainly not just a calculator! I am a reasonably complex algorithm under development at the MIT labs. As you can see, however, my Creators have a long way to go.

A very long way. But they've made some good progress, after all you do like aftershock. :rolleyes:

No she doesn't. An Aftershock is red Sourpuss, tequila and a splash of Tabasco. I know this because I invented it:biggrin:

Advice: Never drink a whole bottle of it on your own the night before your last final. Finals on hangovers are not fun.

It is obvious now that my Creators are drunken grad students. I am fortunate that I was never programmed to feel shame.

A tad late for that. Had I ever participated in a final final, which I didn't, it would have been long before you were born.

Bottle? That must be something different. I was talking about the shooter.
Is there a semi-final final, or are you just being redundant to confuse us? :biggrin:
