If everyone pretended to be on hallucinogenic drugs three or four hours a day, people might be more relaxed.

I suppose you could start doing somersaults. Alternatively, doing shots might be a quicker way of making everything in your visual field rotate. :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile::smile: :smile: :smile: :smile::smile: :smile: :smile: :smile::smile: :smile: :smile: :smile::smile: :smile: :smile: :smile::smile: :smile: :smile: :smile::smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:

28 bears and a bed and the little one said "roll over, I'm crowded." So they all rolled over and one fell out... 1 bear in the bed and the little one said "I'm lonely." :frown:

Seeing all those spinny faces is spoiling my dinner. Is it bad that I am eating while on PF for like, the 3rd night in a row?

Yes. If you're eating, you're not devoting your entire attention to us. Get your priorities straight.

No reason to feel lonely. Danger was just looking for someone to cuddle with in that other thread over there. ----->

Don't think I've forgotten this Mr. Danger.
Danger said:
Not with that attitude, you won't.

Your welcome to try, but I should warn you. I'm faster than a bionic hampster on a frictionless treadmill, slippier than an eel with contagious conjunctivitis, and harder to find than a pigeon in Manhattan or a spare set of car keys when you really need them. I can also leap tall buildings, two steps at a time!

With credentials like that, you should have your own show on Fox. :-p

Ah, I see you're putting your cape and poofy hat to good use! :smile: :smile: I especially like that last one about leaping tall buildings! :smile: :smile:

I tried that already but they said something about getting vaccinated before being allowed on the premises. I couldn't find a vet to give me hampster/ell/pigeon shots. But I did find the managers car keys. Don't worry, he won't need them.

Maybe Moonbear has some?

I don't know whether that reaction is because you don't realize that you're the exception, or because you do. :redface:

Good point. I once thought I saw a circus on the cieling. Those clown faces were frightening when they morph and change color and offered me candy. A little advice for everyone, never accept candy from illusionary clowns.

P.S. I happened to be sleeping in a church at the time :smile:

Those eyeballs still spinning? Try staring at the end of your nose for a few minutes.

I wonder how long it will be before the killer thread eats up all the other threads?

:eek: I hadn't thought about it that way before! What if the thread killer thread isn't a thread FOR thread killers, but a thread that kills other threads! Has the threadicide rate been increasing since the arrival of this thread?

Hi everyone. I'm having a great evening. First of all, I'm on vacation. Yeah!

Then I decided to work on a little solid state amplifier I built that wasn't working. It wasn't doing anything at all, no hiss, no crackle, nothing. I thought I really screwed up the wiring or soldering or something. So after a week of being too depressed to work on it again, I decided that I should test the battery. It was completely dead (I thought it had some juice left, but it had none at all. I put another battery in and it crackled and popped until I got the battery in, then I plugged in my guitar and now it works great!

:biggrin: :smile: :biggrin:

I don't think an amplifier is going to make any difference there. :smile:

:smile: I never did figure out what that thread was supposed to be about.

P.S. Are you starting to chronicle a "Best Of" series of thread kills? :-p That reminds me that there's an unfinished story about Dave out there somewhere. So many threads, so little time. :rolleyes:

I like standing on the hill in the city before evening in the summer. It is very beautiful. Everything is so distinct and sharp in the soft warm light. You can look down onto the bay and see the bridge and the birds flying before it, and everywhere you look there is so much detail and space.

Some people seem to be able to make the comment that just ruins a conversation. 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 best thread killers:
1)with 21- franzneitzche
2)with 15- Moonbear
3)with 12- tribdog
4)with 9-tie-Ivan Seeking and Tsu

Honorable mentions go to:gokul, JasonRox, chrono and mattmns.



ohh.. ohh.. so that's what this thread is about
