Thread Killer Champions: Franzbear & Moonbear

[Danger]

Are you kidding? it's me only more so.

That's a vaguely frightening concept.

 

[franznietzsche]

When did this thread pass 4000?

Where was I?

DAGNABBIT!

blearg...

That's a vaguely frightening concept.

Nothing vaque, it's frightening. Be afraid, be very afraid.

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.

I like that post. It paints a picture in my mind.

You were off in that haze of newly discovered love. We passed it about a week ago.

 

[Artman]

I like that post. It paints a picture in my mind.

All it needs is some ripe, juicy fruit and a comfortable breeze caressing your naked body as you sleep and...oops got carried away.

I mean, Yes, it is a nice post. It actually does a nice job conjuring a picture of a nice spring evening.

It does. I can just smell the salt air. I miss the coast! This is the time of year we'd be getting the boat readied for summer; ah, the joys of playing with the lead paint scrapings that littered the sand in the boat yard (long after lead paint was banned as a housepaint, it was still available as bottom paint for boats).

 

[Math Is Hard]

ah, the joys of playing with the lead paint scrapings

They're tasty, too!

 

[Moonbear]

They're tasty, too!

Just think what a genius I might have been if I wasn't dumbed down a bit with lead paint as a child. You'd need sunglasses to shield your eyes from my brilliance. But, I guess my parents knew the world wasn't ready for that.

 

[Smurf]

Yeah, two omnipotent beings are too much for this puny planet. One of us would've killed the other if you'd reached your full potential.

Maybe, but until you post pictures, I'm still claiming I look better in a dress. (You do realize that you're NEVER going to live that down, right?).

 

[Huckleberry]

I don't know what kind of snorkel you've got, laddie, but I can't see mine from here. :shy:

Snorkel? My proboscis is perfectly normal, thank you very much. My eye stalks happen to be exceptionally long and I'm rather sensitive about that fact. You have no idea how much I was teased in grade school.

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?

Eventually the killer thread will become so huge that there won't be any room for anything else. It will achieve a critical mass and we will all be doomed!

How can I move a thread I creted to a new category?

 

[SOS2008]

With one very notable exception, I'm not really into bears.

Unless it's a costume?

I had to throw that one in there. I'm partial to the pigeon one myself.

Speaking of which, the doves and finches have either been fighting over olives or trying to mate all over my back yard today.

...Has the threadicide rate been increasing since the arrival of this thread?

Ooooh...threadicide. I like it. We should add it to the favorite word thread.

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

Yeh, I made a joke once about "string-jacking" and no one got it!

I like that post. It paints a picture in my mind.

Artman beat me to making the comparison with your earlier description, though he added the part about a naked body (such a guy), and I thought about embellishing the mating of birds in my yard, but never mind.

...ah, the joys of playing with the lead paint scrapings that littered the sand in the boat yard (long after lead paint was banned as a housepaint, it was still available as bottom paint for boats).

Yeh, and asbestos--though better than eating off lead plates like they did in the Middle Ages, and who know what may be discovered yet to explain generations younger than us.

...Eventually the killer thread will become so huge that there won't be any room for anything else. It will achieve a critical mass and we will all be doomed!

It is frightening to wonder what Greg does with all our littering in his server(s).

Anyway, I was doing some cleaning today and found left-over Easter candy...

I think I'm safe enough. Mountains make fairly decent sound baffles. It's your poor neighbourhood that I'm concerned for.

All it needs is some ripe, juicy fruit and a comfortable breeze caressing your naked body as you sleep and

Quit teasing me, dammit! You know as well as I do that I couldn't figure out how to dress up as a breeze if I used every gram of creative genius at my disposal.

Maybe, but until you post pictures, I'm still claiming I look better in a dress.

I've never seen you in a dress, and I've never seen Smurf at all, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and cast my vote in your behalf.

My eye stalks happen to be exceptionally long and I'm rather sensitive about that fact. You have no idea how much I was teased in grade school.

I believe there's a new treatment for that wherein they can simply shrink them back toward your face without having to excise segments. You should look into it (no pun intended).

Unless it's a costume?

Unless it's the lunar variety.

Speaking of which, the doves and finches have either been fighting over olives or trying to mate all over my back yard today.

If you're not sure of the difference, I'd like to contest the ownership of some melons...

Yeh, and asbestos--though better than eating off lead plates like they did in the Middle Ages, and who know what may be discovered yet to explain generations younger than us.

I fear that genetics alone will be sufficient.

Everyone can see his or her nose, particularly clearly with one eye closed. No eye stalks required.

 

[Danger]

I can't. With both eyes, it absolutely isn't visible at all. With either one by itself, I can see a flesh-coloured mass. If I have my glasses on so's I can see that close up, the frame is in the way.

 

[Evo]

Yay! Danger is now a contributor!

He's glowing in gold now.

(did you get your invitation to the secret wild parties yet?)

Overactive thyroid.

PM me if you really need one moved.

Prey often have their eyes set to the side of their heads for wider peripheral vision. Its alright though, this way you'll be able to see Artman coming from any direction. If you don't smell him first.

 

[Danger]

Yay! Danger is now a contributor!

He's glowing in gold now.

Thanks, honey. I feel even more at home now. Does this mean that I can put a signature on?

(did you get your invitation to the secret wild parties yet?)

As a matter of fact, no. Please elaborate...

 

[Math Is Hard]

I intercepted it. I was going to blindfold him and take him to one tonight as a surprise!

Yeh, baby, and fish! (Now we can look forward to avatars, signatures, etc. too!)

Let's just hope his heart is strong enough to take it.

The lungs are shot to hell, but my heart's fine. (And I did pay that yogi a lot to teach me how to breathe through my ears.)



So can I use a signature now?! Huh? CannI, cannI...?

 

[SOS2008]

I'm thinking a luau theme, with drinks that have umbrellas and garnish, and...(<-- a sisterhood fill-in-the-blank).

I'm afraid to see what it is.

Yes, you can use a signature now.

We should take him to that Tiki Bar over by the philosophy forums. He'd love it.

You got a Tiki bar in the philosophy forums, and you didn't tell me?!?

I thought you knew? Didn't I see you there last weekend? You were drinking one of those flaming blue cocktails with Moonbear.

You saw that? I mean... that must have been someone else. I mean...I PLEAD THE 5th!

Yes little boy, and I have some candy too.

That's how Smurf got his name, isn't it? Hey wait a minute, I thought the party was moved around to different locations and a cover was charged at the door for non-members? Dang it, who keeps pinching my butt!

 

[Huckleberry]

Dang it, who keeps pinching my butt!

Oh, sorry. Am I not supposed to do that while you're talking to me.

I'm liking this very much. Been a while since I've seen your ass, SOS. It's still as nice as ever.
I'm going to go to the control room and see if I can make a signature without screwing it up. It's a phrase that just popped into my head a week or so ago—possibly a flash-back—that is absolutely useless elsewhere. Since most others here don't make sense, there's no reason for mine to.
I'll come back right after to see if it worked.

 

[Danger]

Apparently it didn't.
I'll go back and try again.

 

[Danger]

Nope. Still nothing. It's in the edit box, and I saved it, and the 'show signature' button is selected... help!

edit: It shows up in preview mode...

2nd edit: While I was typing it, my monitor flickered and now all of the text is about 20% smaller than it was before. What the hey have I buggered up now?!

 

[SOS2008]

Okay MIH, you want some of this? Huh? Take a look at this avatar girlie!

Go to User CP and click on signature. Then you can add it and change the font etc. as usual. Dang, who pinched my butt again!

That's what I did. It didn't work. It shows up in CP, and in my profile, and in the preview for posts, but not in the posts themselves.

Dang, who pinched my butt again!

Sorry, that was me this time. Just picking off some lint. Don't worry about it.

edit: I just thought of something. Does Evo have to approve it before it shows up? Shouldn't be a problem—it isn't about her this time.

I think I know what's wrong -- is it saying the file is too large? It needs to be no larger than 64 x 64. Did you say you have Photo Shop or something like that so you can resize it?

Ah...picking lint off someone is considered an affectionate behavior--wait, off my butt?

Oooops sorry, you were talking about a signature. No you don't need approval. Hmmm... I see it -- you got it!

 

[Math Is Hard]

Okay MIH, you want some of this? Huh? Take a look at this avatar girlie!

I must be drunk already. You look a little out of focus there, SOS.

 

[SOS2008]

It's how Gwyneth Paltrow would look if she was fat like Anna Nicole (was)--ah heck, I couldn't get anything better on the fly. I'm going to something else now...

 

[Math Is Hard]

Oh, yeah - "Shallow Hal". I liked that movie.

Good heavens! I've been gone most of the day getting yardwork and housework and stuff in general done, and I come back to be scared nearly to death by your new avatar MIH! Is there a scary avatar competition going on here or something?

Yeah, I can't quite tell what SOS's avatar is either. Maybe a few more drinks at the Tiki Bar will clear it up.

Danger, good to see you've joined the Gold Club! With you around here all the time, it was getting difficult to pass the word about the location of the parties each night without letting you see them.

I know--I made a fill-in-the-blank while you were gone and MIH had to fill it in. And then I had this avatar, but last time you said it looks like I'm smelling someone's butt. Speaking of butt, mine keeps getting pinched...but after a couple for these foo-foo drinks, I think I'm starting to like it.

You missed everything. Evo became a shaman and cast a money spell on me.

Something went awry and I turned into a golddigger instead of an heiress. I question the "sacrificed chicken" she used. I think she might have substituted a bucket of original recipe from KFC.

 

[SOS2008]

Oh, sorry. Am I not supposed to do that while you're talking to me.

I didn't even bribe you with candy yet, young man!

Oh, yeah - "Shallow Hal". I liked that movie.

Have you seen "50 First Dates" (2004)?

Tagline: Imagine having to win over the girl of your dreams... every friggin' day.

Plot Outline: Adam Sandler plays a man who falls in love with Lucy (Drew Barrymore), a woman with short-term memory loss. Therefore, Lucy never remembers Sandler and this proves to be a pain for him as he always has to gain her back every day.

Interesting premise--ah...

 

[Moonbear]

Speaking of butt, mine keeps getting pinched...but after a couple for these foo-foo drinks, I think I'm starting to like it.

How come nobody's pinching my butt?

Glad I wasn't around to see that. I wouldn't want to be part of the collateral damage of one of those miscast spells! Geez, she could have at least gotten the extra crispy.

I'm very affectionate and horny.

Oooops sorry, you were talking about a signature. No you don't need approval. Hmmm... I see it -- you got it!

Whaddaya mean, you see it? I got it? I don't see it. Is there some kind of filter that... oh crap. I'll be right back...

Okay... I found it. Somehow when I created it, my CP deselected the 'show signatures' box. I wasn't seeing anybody's, not just my own. I'm so used to skipping over them that I didn't notice. Now that I've seen it, I think I'll go change the colour.

I must have been in the wrong subforum. I'll just peek in the doors of all of them and I guess I'll know I'm in the right place when my butt gets pinched. Is that tonight's secret signal?
