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.

You got that right--I'm selling tickets again! :biggrin:

Oh, yep, scratch marks are on-the-house for members. We can provide them on one shoulder or both, and you have the option of deep puncture wounds or long gouges, with or without the Lee Press-On Nails left in your flesh (there's a small extra charge for the nails being left in your flesh to cover our replacement costs). Personally, I recommend just a few deep puncture wounds, maybe just from two fingers, otherwise it might look like it was faked. :biggrin:

Do they even make those anymore? They used to be all the rage when I was a teenager because you could stick them on when you got to school and then pop them off before going home, though, that glue was rather gummy to try to rub off while sitting on the school bus.

Oh I remember those too, but it gave me a good LOL with the visual of these in someone's flesh, and the thought they'd be charged for it.

Yes...you're right. You are different, even perhaps special (in a little yellow bus kind of way?), no, dangerous and if anything women need protection from you! :bugeye: Was I lulled by swooping? No it IS fatigue! Okay, and maybe the foo-foo drinks...

Thanks, but I'll wait. I know how bitterly disappointed Art will be if he's denied the perverse pleasure of whatever he's going to post. I know that it'll be horrible, but one must make sacrifices for the good of the community.

A programmer and an Engineer are sitting next to each other on a long flight from Los Angelos to New York. The Programmer leans over to the Engineer and asks if he would like to play a fun game. The Engineer just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks.

The Programmer persists and explains that the game is real easy and a lotta fun. He explains, "I ask you a question, and if you don’t know the answer, you pay me $5. Then you ask me a question, and if I don’t know the answer, I pay you $5."

Again the Engineer politely declines and tries to get to sleep.

The Programmer, now somewhat agitated, says "Ok, if you don’t know the answer, you pay me $5, and if I don’t know the answer, I’ll pay you $50!"

This catches the engineer’s attention, and he sees no end to this torment unless he plays, so he agrees to the game. The programmer asks the first question: "What is the distance from the Earth to the moon?"

The engineer doesn’t say a word, but simply reaches into his wallet, pulls out a five-dollar bill, and hands it to the programmer. Now, it’s the engineer’s turn. He asks the programmer, "What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down on four?"

The programmer looks up at him with a puzzled look. He takes out his laptop computer and searches all of his references. He taps into the Airphone with the modem and searches the net and the library of Congress. Frustrated, he sends e-mail to his coworkers - all to no avail. After about an hour, he wakes the engineer and hands him $50. He politely takes the $50 and turns away to try to get back to sleep.

The programmer, more than a little miffed, shakes the engineer and asks, "Well, so what’s the answer?" Without a word, the engineer reaches into his wallet, hands the programmer $5, and turns away to get back to sleep.

SOS2008 said:

Thank you SOS2008, I know how much fun this could have been for you, or for that matter anyone who truly appreciates the finer points of our friend Danger. Once again, thank you for allowing me the opportunity. :biggrin:

So, what is the "Little Bus" reference? Let me begin with another question: Did you go to the zoo much in school? Like almost every day? With all of the other classes, perhaps? :smile:

On their many trips to the zoo, the special classes in the USA would go by bus, a small bus. This bus was full of a loving, kind, group of terribly-picked-on children that happed to also be intellectually challenged. They called these the special classes in USA schools (not sure what they call them now).

So basically she insulted you, but it's cool cause she let me tell you about it. :biggrin:

We only pick on you because you have a cool sense of humor (also because I know you would not let an opportunity go by to get me as well. :biggrin: )

A pastor, a doctor and an engineer were waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers.

The engineer fumed, "What's with these guys? We must have been waiting for 15 minutes!"

The doctor chimed in, "I don't know, but I've never seen such ineptitude!"

The pastor said, "Hey here comes the greenskeeper. Let's have a word with him."

[dramatic pause]

"Hi George. Say what's with that group ahead of us? They're rather slow aren't they?"

The greenskeeper replied, "Oh, yes, that's a group of blind firefighters. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year, so we always let them play for free anytime."

The group was silent for a moment.

The pastor said, "That's so sad, I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight."

The doctor said, "Good idea. And I'm going to contact my opthalmologist buddy and see if there's anything he can do for them."

The engineer said, "Why can't they play at night?"

A bunch of engineers are sitting around at a party, discussing the nature of the God, and who designed women.

The mechanical engineer states that God must also be a mechanical engineer because "if you look at all the pulleys and levers that drive the body, how the tendons and muscles and bones all work together, well, it's just amazing."

The chemical engineer says that no, God has to be a chemical engineer because "if you look at all the chemical processes that drive the body, how the hormones and the brain and the glands and everything else all interact, well, it's just astounding."

The electrical engineer says that no, God has to be an electrical engineer because "if you look at the circuitry of the body, how the thousands upon millions of nerve cells transmit signals from one part to another, well, it boggles the mind."

The civil engineer speaks up last of all and says, no, God is definitely a civil engineer, because "only a civil engineer would run a sewer through a playground. "

I'm going to be going away for a week. :cry: And I know I can't trust any of you to take good care of Franzbear. :cry:

Maybe there is a thread stting service I could call to watch him for me, until I get back?

Please be careful, little Fanzbear, don't go anywhere alone with your unlce Danger, don't let Moonbear take you swimming (don't let her tell you where she got the name Moonbear, Don't let Franz take you drinking, don't let Huckleberry...just don't let huckleberry, or SOS2008, don't let her either, and cronxeh, oh gosh, if cronxeh comes close just scream!

How can you think I won't take good care of little franzbear? He's my very own e-child! We've got a great week planned for him. It's supposed to be warm, so Franz is going to take him out to the beach, they'll spend the whole day hitting the bars in between sunbathing. Don't worry, we'll slather franzbear in baby oil to keep his little fibers soft. Then I'm going to take him out for a night swim. We're going to work on endurance, so I'll get the rowboat and let him swim along. I'll let him carry an anchor for us too, just in case I need to take a rest from rowing. :biggrin:
