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.

You need to learn to keep up.

I thought that was the guys' job? I assist by sitting here looking pretty. :biggrin:

Okay, mostly it's that I'm three hours ahead of you here! So I'm not quite as awake as you are.

Tiny? Is this your pet name for her? Well, if you're going to keep talking about her, maybe you should make up a nickname for her anyway. It gets a little awkward constructing sentences that refer to her only as she. :biggrin:


Yes, that is her nick name, i use it far more often than her actual name really. Its kinda got a funny story behind it...well not really funny in Bicycle's sense, but funny in the not normal, hmmm, sense.

I kept finding 10 new posts everytime I got a reply typed.
Same here. And Lucy was doing my typing for me again half the time, so of course I had to do it over before posting.

Tell us! Tell us! I call my girlfriend Pulchrid :bugeye: . It too has a (probably much more so) interesting story behind it.

Yours is probably much funnier.


About a year and a half ago, when i first decided to pursue her, my best friend soon after became single, and decided he also wanted to date her. Not good. We never really fought, but there was unspoken friction and competition for a while. At any rate, he had always called her runt, for probably a year before this, initially just to be an ass, and later on it stuck. Well, at the time it occurred to me calling her the same thing he came up with would be bad, making her think of him instead of me would have been counter-productive. At first she objected, saying she preferred runt, but i just kept calling her tiny. After a while my friend moved on and dated someone else, and the name just stuck. Of course, she doesn't know this story, but that's ok.

Or maybe that is in the normal sense? Whatever...I just laughed so hard at that it sent me into a coughing fit (maybe I should have swallowed my orange juice before laughing). :smile:

That might mean I'm becoming delirious with fatigue. I might have to get myself to bed soon. I just imagined you saying it totally dead-pan...the delivery was excellent. :biggrin:

I just wasted about 10 minutes trying to find a previous post of mine that dealt with that. No luck. I'm too lazy to do it over, so when I finally find it during a slow spell, I'll pull up this quote and direct you to it.

If it helps, I remember you commenting on it...or was it Lucy-fur? (This is the appropriate place to groan.)

I can't remember what thread you mentioned it in though.

GROAN. Funny, but GROAN.

We called ours Lucifer as we reasoned it was possessed by the devil. Never a nice cat. Incidentally, i think the devil possessed my mother after it died. Or maybe both in tandem and transferred the remainder of its power over to her when the cat died. I dunno. But it would explain so much.

I'll admit I can't actually recall the details, I'll ask her tomorrow though and report back. I know that pulchrid is a shortened word from Pulchritudinous, which was in one of her lines in a school play in the drama class that I met her in (which is in itself a funny story, I dropped her)

I think all cats are possessed by the devil.

'Twas indeed the reference that I was looking for. I know that it was a long thread, and quite a while ago, but I've been flapping around here trying to follow all my favourite folks, that I can't even remember where I've been any more. (Where the hell am I now, for that matter?)

I'm not sure moonbear, do you really think he'd stoop that low?

I don't know about all cats, but i know at least two mothers who are for sure.

Are you sure that's not the other way around?

Got it! You were blaming the cat for missing items.

So I don't even need the doggie costume...? (down, Artman)
We need a disappointed, pouting smiley. Can't I at least say that that is a very "stylish" costume?


By the way, that wouldn't be humourous back in Shakespere's day. Not that it is now...:biggrin:

Well, you've already used that one, but it was in a different thread and it's good enough to repeat, so I guess I'll let ya.

By the way, did you guys realize that Shakespeare spelled his own name about half a dozen different ways in his writings? Kinda peculiar for the primary literary light of his time. :confused:

Really? Then again, in his time, I think he really wasn't considered such a great writer. Just because I find him funny doesn't mean I think he's a great writer, actually. It's sort of like vaudeville in old English to me. It appeals to my baser tastes.

I've heard that Shakespeare didn't write Shakespeare's works, but somebody else named Shakespeare wrote them. :biggrin:
