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 won't trust my own hamster with Moonbear..

I mean she did, after all, say this:
Moonbear said:
This points to a major flaw in the whole hamster power generation scheme. The only thing hamsters love more than running on wheels is chewing on power cords. All it takes is one clever escapee to shut down the entire operation by chewing through all the power cords (they are amazingly quick about this too). There are rumors that the huge blackout along the Northeast was started by an escaped hamster (okay, there aren't, but I'll start one).

It was a long cold swim but...Danger, your wait is over! :biggrin: I'm here!
I didn't realize that you were that strong a swimmer. Mid-Atlantic next time, bucko. :biggrin:

Artman 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: :biggrin:
It's almost pathetic how little it takes to make you happy.

Artman said:
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:
I suspected that it was something like that, but I have no reference point.
There were no 'special ed' classes when I went to school. The less fortunate kids just ended up a few grades behind. The really less fortunate either stayed home or were institutionalized. Also, we never went to a zoo. In public school, there were no field trips at all. In high school, we only went to 1—the Henry Ford Museum & Greenfield Villiage in Detroit.

Artman said:
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: )
Thanks for that :rolleyes: . You do owe me a couple. I was busy while you weren't paying attention.

I'm not even going to bother trying to catch up to the rest of this thread. I read the past couple of pages, but I'm too lazy to respond to it. :approve:

I will take care of little Franzbear. Franzbear will be safe with me. :approve: We're going beaver hunting. Look at the adorable beaver costume aunt Evo made him. Can't tell him from a real beaver can you? What? Oh, that's so you don't frighten the other beaver, dear. :approve:

We have him in protective custody. Somewhere along the way, he forgot to read the Manly Man Manual, and you wouldn't believe all the attempts that have been made on his life! (Or maybe you would.)[/size]

Before you leave tell her that you need to pick something up at the sporting goods store. Stay there.
Ah, yes, this works best for all involved. Don't forget to hand over your credit card first, otherwise she's going to have to come looking for you.

Oh my! :bugeye: What are you teaching little franzbear?! Don't you think he's still a little young for that? And to have his aunt tag along?! Let him learn the same way other adolescents learn; leave him with an internet connection in his room and a door that locks.

Okay little franzbear, back to your room. *click* There you go, all locked in properly. *sniffs* Is that smoke? I'll go check. Don't worry franzbear, just stay put in your locked room. Your daddy left you a fifth of vodka and your uncle Danger tossed in a pack of cigarettes. Why don't you make yourself comfortable on the bed with your computer and smokes?

It's not actually a medical condition. It goes away when I give in and buy a new razor blade. They start to bite after 2 or 3 years.

Let's go. Just bear in mind that the Tiki bar only has one (unisex) bathroom. I don't mind if you leave the seat up when you're done but some folks get upset about it! :smile:

Oh, that one was easy to get ahold of. We just went looking for it when you rolled over and went to sleep. The Manly Man Manual (or M3) has been much harder to obtain. (This is actually something that started out on another board I used to visit that's pretty inactive anymore.) A few of our best teams have been able to slip past the guards and get glimpses of a few pages using such trickery as distracting you with short skirts and low cut blouses and mirrored floors, real dangerous work, but we've never gotten the full manual. :biggrin:

Smurf, I have a really nice blue polka dot dress for you that I'll trade for some insider information on the current security measures, how many guards are in place, etc.[/color][/size]

No, there's no need for them to leave the seat up. In one of the M3 chapters our spies were able to photograph, it states the following:

Chapter 53, section 2: Toilet Seats
The manly man's natural urge is to pee outside. The female population wishes to suppress this by forcing us to use indoor plumbing. Years of research indicate that leaving the toilet seat up is a simple, yet effective way of irritating the females of the species. Our best hope for future generations of manly men is to use this simple tactic until we convince the female population to banish us from indoor facilities so we can once again satisfy the primal urge to pee on trees and mark our territory. Severe penalties will be enforced for those who forget to leave the toilet seat up.

I don't see any reason to fight this one. Just send them outside to that nice oak tree and we can enjoy a nice clean bathroom with the toilet seat properly lowered. :biggrin:

One thing I've never understood is the male urge to pee ON something. What is this about? Several times I've come out of a club at night and seen some guy peeing ON the front tire of my car. He could have gone ANYWHERE! Maybe it was because he was drunk and needed a focal point?

I can't explain it—it's just something that we have to do. It's the same sort of thing as when women start babbling like idiots and making weird noises when they get close to a baby. :confused:

Guys are like a wild pack of (fill-in-the-blank). They are marking their territory. They mark their territory in many ways, some very subtle except to the trained eye. There is information in the M3 on this as well:
Chapter 103, section 1: Territory
The manly man's natural urge is to mark his territory. Peeing on objects is far to obvious to the female population. One way is to designate areas as yours, such as the garage. Other ways to make your mark is to leave your things laying around, and to
Dang, that was all I could get of that page in the manual!

Incidentally, that 19 year-old I spent a couple of years with and a woman I knew about 15 years ago can both write their names in the snow just like a man. I didn't find this quite as endearing as they seemed to expect. :rolleyes:

Must be the open-sided ones where you can pass along beside them. They must have pretty good eyes. I don't really get the point of that, though. 99.9% of the time, you'll see less than you would on the beach, and the other .1% you can't do anything about anyway. :rolleyes:

I almost included that section as well, about them requiring a vertical surface to pee on. But part of the film was exposed in the struggle to keep the camera from the guards, so I couldn't cite it verbatim. You don't even want to know what I had to do to get the camera back! :eek: They've got a back room at the M3 headquarters like you wouldn't believe!

It does not have to be vertical. It can be angled, elevated, newly washed, or moving instead. Give us some credit for versatility, will ya?
