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.

I live in Mass. right on the banks of the Merrimack river. We've had lots of rain the last few weeks and with all the melted snow I thought the backyard might turn into a swimming pool. Thankfully it didn't get near that high, but there were flood warnings in a few parts of the state.
 
  • #3,003
That would explain the snow this time of year. Mass. is great in the summer and fall, but it's not the place I want to be in winter and spring.

We had such beautiful, perfect weather in L.A. today. The kind of day that makes you feel glad to be alive. I sat outside in the sunshine today and ate a ripe tangerine from my neighbor's tree, licking the sticky, sweet juice off my wrist, not caring who looked at me.
Tonight it's nice, too. I'll open my window now and let the gentle, cool breeze of honeysuckle drift through while I sleep.
:cry: It was in the thirties here last night. :cry:

If you didn't have so many suggestive phrases in your post I would have hated it. (Us dirty minded guys are always looking for those. They make our day. Right Danger? Where is he? Probably somewhere imagining MIH licking the sticky sweet juice from something and not caring who was looking, or something like that.) :-p

Well, without knowing what neck of the woods you're in, I can still guess you're further north than I am. It was chilly today, but none of that nasty white stuff, thank goodness!

That would be ironic if you actually were my biology teacher. Stranger things have happened. For example, when I was stationed in Virginia I was talking with a friend of mine at lunch. He was saying something about his experiences growing up in PA and mentioned a name of a friend of mine that I have known for 20 years who used to live there. After discussing it, turns out we knew the same person.

Once at the beginning of one of my biology classes I was having an argument with a classmate. She was saying "Money is good." and I said "Nobody ever did anything good for want of money." We debated for a little and it turned more into a personal argument. I said "I don't care about your beliefs." She replied something like "Wait another ten years and see what you believe then." The whole thing was a bit pointless and I regret saying some of those things. I felt insulted and discounted her beliefs by saying that I didn't care about them, which I immediately regretted saying but was too angry to take back at that moment.

It's a longshot but if you remember that and once had curly, brown hair then... wouldn't that be awkward?

Hi folks;
I just got here. There was something I had to take care of first. Did you realize that they've opened a juice bar in the clinic?:-p

For anyone who cares to sympathize, it snowed on me again last night. This morning the snow was gone, but everything was covered with frost. Now the frost is gone and it's about 60ºF. out there. I've heard it said about other places, but I'm pretty sure it started here because we've been saying it since the 40's: if you don't like the weather in Cochrane, wait a minute. :rolleyes:

Ooooh, way better than the olive tree and bird pooping image I presented. I do have an orange tree and pomegranate bush, so I suppose I could make some foo-foo drinks for the clinic... :-p Let's see, how much should we should charge, more than $3.25, certainly. :smile:

I've always liked drinks with garnishes and ornaments in them, like hunks of fruit and those cute little parasols. We could probably charge eight bucks for those. Especially if we served them in a coconut shell or a hollowed out pineapple.
 
  • #3,012
so I am thinking of taking for fall 2005: biochem, genetics, physiology (again), chemE physical rate processes, bioinformatics 1 (grad course)

Today I saw a woman who for some reason reminded me of a housecat. Maybe it was the hairdo. Not that I remember exactly what the hairdo was, I just can't think of any other likely reason.

Oh, I love foo foo drinks like that! The decorations are half the fun! Everyone laughed at me when I brought along paper umbrellas for the drinks at one lab pool party we had, but then nobody wanted a drink without an umbrella either! :biggrin:

I want a blue drink! I don't care what else is in it, I just love drinks that are brightly colored. :approve:

Physiology...again?! Stop playing around here and get thee to the biology forum! If it's any consolation, I struggled with physiology in college too for some reason; it just wasn't taught in a way that was conducive to me learning it or something. Since then, I've done a post-doc in a physiology department and am qualified to teach that class! But, I find the classes I struggled with are the ones I can teach best now since I know where all the stumbling blocks are. I really didn't figure out what I was doing until the year I took off between undergrad and grad school...somehow during that year, my lightbulb finally lit up. :biggrin:
 
  • #3,016
no I am just generally a lazy bastard

i actually enjoyed that class very much but fall2004 was a very, very sluggish semester for me.. i withdrew from physiology and a critical chemE class - after which i had 2 choices - either graduate a year later, or change majors (and I chose the second for some reason - mechE). but now i find out they will be offering that class over the summer - I am excited, i don't like mechE that much (statics smells bad). so hopefully over the summer ill take that class, thermo that i missed this semester, and in fall ill be junior back in "chemical & biological engineering" major

Okay then, MIH and I can cover the citrus, and Moonbear will bring umbrellas. We need some cherries, maybe apples, etc. too...If you've never had a watermelon drink, you haven't lived. But of course, we could sell our drinks in the casino!

Oh, Moonbear, about the blue drinks...we were drinking Blue Hawaiis last time I was in Hawaii, and after a couple (okay a few) of these drinks, the bartender mentioned that we shouldn't be concerned if we feel like Smurfs the next morning when we used the restroom. So right he was. Maybe the folks in chemistry can help too?

hm.. funny thing is.. there is a 3 hour lab/wk for every class (organic, biochem, physiol, genetics) that's in addition to a 4 hour/wk lecture on each class :rolleyes:

Argh! That means the bartender cheated and added food coloring! I prefer blue curacao. (sp?) It goes really well in tropical drinks and adds blue color without making blue pee. :smile:

That's because you haven't gotten to the REALLY hard classes yet...those have 5 hour labs! It takes a LONG time for the goggle impressions to fade from around your eyes after 5 hours.
 
  • #3,022
yea.. the organic lab is actually from 8 am till 1:25 pm.. and the senior chemE labs are 6 hours long.. fun
 
  • #3,023
Though, I much preferred even a 5 hour lab over a 1 hour lecture (still do...labs are more fun to teach than lectures).

As the post count is now in the 4300s, I was just thinking that to honor Gokul's new promotion, we should dedicate the 43201st reply to Gokul. Do you think we can make it that high before the newness of his promotion wears off? :biggrin:

I do a good sheep call. :biggrin: But sheep really don't say Baa, it's more of a very low pitched Mehaahrahrahr[/size]. At least that's the Michigan dialect. Well, they insisted if I was going to spend so much time with them, I needed to talk to them in their own language because they were tired of listening to me in English. :redface:

I haven't spent quite enough time with cats to really get the accent right. They still make fun of me and walk away when I try talking in Catish. But don't they sound more like a medium-pitched mraaaa? I have to tell you, they are pretty miffed about how we mangle their language. That's why they have such a superior attitude, since we're too stupid to pronounce their words correctly. :-p

That's how they sound here too--of course they can't make the sound of the letter 'b' (and why PF members say 'Meh' instead of 'Bah?').

The fact that there is a person named Tsunami on this board (who is not Tsu) is really freaking me out.
