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.

I have very bad news.. sniff

today my dear Sharp Zaurus SL-5000D PDA has suffered a Massive Pixel Loss (MPL) on its beautiful 3.5" screen. I'm currently in a state of shock and despair. Please pray for my little Zaurus and hope the service center in Texas where the screen services will be held next week will take a good care of it. I'm hoping to get a replacement LCD screen for under $150, but you never know. This is a truly sad day in cronxville :frown:

AAGH! WHY! WHY MY LITTLE ZAURUS! :cry:
That is indeed very sad cronxeh. :frown: I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

...And swashbuckling.

(I left my swash unbuckled once and it ended up down around my knees.) :biggrin:
As long as you unbuckle with a swash, rather than with a swish, it's okay with me.

It's "swish-tickling," tickle not buckle. If you buckle your swish and tickle your swash, you're just asking for trouble (or making special friends if you do it to Danger, Huckleberry, Franz, cronxeh, or that Artman guy). :-p :biggrin:

I wouldn't mind someone buckling my swish and tickling my swash, if you know what I mean... :-p

I do. A little swish tickling with a flourish could start your swash fluttering.
 
  • #2,909
franz, just a warning:
Don't flutter your swash too much; it might not close properly afterwards.

This all seems to have me fluttering. Swish tickling, swash buckling, and swoosh flourishing! Oh my, has it gotten warm in here? :blushing:

I hope your Zaurus gets better soon too.

About the bunnies, it reminded me that one of the guys I use to work with brought in some baby desert tortoises one day for adoption. Really fascinating, but they burrow (i.e., under your patio, etc.) so I passed. The only pet I could have would be one that is self sufficient and not noisey--maybe a cat...My schedule is too erratic.

Are you saying, "is it warm in here or is it me?" Because it is warm in here and it is you. :-p (By the way, I am saying that in APOTWINWUMW) :biggrin:

I think we need to work more on this training exercise: swish swash swoosh!

I turn my back on this thread for a few hours and what do I return to find? Sword polishing and buckle swashing (or swishing, depending upon your orientation).

I'm not even going to bring up sword swallowing. :bugeye:

We can swishswash with a cape and swish or swashtickle with a sword, but we cannot swish or swashbuckle or buckletickle without a shield.

C'mon slackers, stop sitting on your hands and get to typing! :biggrin:
What the bloody hell do you call #4175?! My fingerprints still haven't grown back.

Huckleberry said:
You think Danger is upset he wasn't present for all the fart jokes?
Yes, I do.

Huckleberry said:
Danger, that cat sounds awesome. I'm not sure it is a cat though. It could have been an unfortunate parrot the way it sits on your shoulder and sings.
Luckily, he usually went to sleep up there. Having that racket going off in my ear would have been intolerable. Given his size, the purring actually provided a fairly decent neck massage.

Artman said:
But your sinuses and hearing are okay now? :biggrin:
Say what? Speak up, sonny; I can't smell you. :rolleyes:

He's safe. With the exception of an occassional sheep, I only mate within my species.

I had to read that 3 times before it quit being just a long line of 'sw's, but I guess it was worth it. :rolleyes:

Make sure his ears are tucked into his helmet or they'll beat you to death when you cut in the JATO's.

That should be done under careful medical supervision, such as in the cancer clinic. :-p

Try typing it 5 times fast. In a way all the sw's lull you into that false sense of security that I've been practicing. Then the buckletickle swoops in for the kill. What is it in French?... Coup de grace?

I wanted to say buckletickle, but I wasn't sure it would sound right. "The buckletickle swoops in for the buckletickle." I'm not sure what a buckletickle even is.

What did you say about swooping in for a butt-tickle? I guess that would be the best angle of attack for such a maneuver.

The high swooping low plunging swish swash butt-tickle. :biggrin:

(Best performed wearing a mask and carrying a guitar slung over your shoulder) :cool:

That's excellent! I had to scroll around for 5 minutes to read it all (13" monitor), but it was worth it.

Yeah, if I didn't have to scroll around so much, I'd probably still be entertaining myself trying to read the words that bled through the other side of the page when it was scanned. Sometimes it's fun to find out what was on the other side of the paper someone scanned. :biggrin:

It's not from the opposite side; it's from underneath. The letters are right way around. That white-on-white is too much trouble to bother with, though. (The one thing I truly miss about my Atari 800–you could set screen background and text colours however you wanted to. I used black on amber most of the time.)

:bugeye: Um...not the parts I was looking at. I could definitely make out the word COMPANY in mirror writing.

But, we have more important matters to discuss. I just read that muscle car thread and see that you have something with 650 hp lying around unused! That puts my paltry 6.75 hp lawnmower engine to shame; I think it's time to add a new wing to the laundromat for the "special" Maytag! :biggrin:

I see what you're talking about now. I never even noticed the black backwards text. What I was looking at is big white letters about 2" (on my monitor) above the start box. It says 'from our rec...'; that's about all I can make out, but it's not reversed.

Hmm...I see what you mean. It must have been a page in a magazine or something, so we're seeing both the back of the page the chart was on and the page facing it both bleeding through on the scan. I guess it won't be anything all that exciting, like some love letter. (LOL...I found one of those in a former student's lab notebook...oh boy, he must have been working on drafting it while bored while waiting for an experiment to run...horribly sappy. :smile:)

That's okay, I'm still trying to find someone will to teach me to drive stick. Muscle cars aren't any good to me until I learn that. Everytime I find a guy who volunteers to teach me, he seems to have something else in mind other than cars, and well, I don't bother correcting him. :rolleyes:
