AI Thread Summary

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.

There's a show that I'd totally forgotten about. I used to watch the original. A while later they released a new version with a stupid monkey in it. It sucked.
This was an episode of "Space Ghost Coast to Coast", his talk show. The guest was Michael Stipe of REM.

This must have been at the beginning of your second childhood. Neither it nor REM existed when I was still watching cartoons. :-p

Yes, this was a newer for adults Space ghost talk show. It was very funny, but not for kids.

Does anyone like anchovies on their pizza, or was that made just as a joke?
I think it maybe happened once to some poor Greek fisherman who had nothing else to put on his pizza. And when his family saw what he did to their pizza they left and never returned. So the bitter man opened a pizza shop and sold pizza with only anchovies. To this day we still suffer his foul tasting curse. :bugeye:
There is also the little known rumor of the Italian pizza maker, baker. He made a sign saying 'FRESH PIZZA' and hung it out the window to attract hungry customers. Turns out he never learned how to read or write and the sign actually said 'FISH PIZZA'. The rest, as they say, is history.

Ok, that was lame. goodnight y'all... :zzz:

Anchovies are nasty things!

Franzbear...are you there? Shhhh...come along with me while no one is looking. I must find a safe place for you. No, not in philosophy...it could be suicidal. Maybe under Danger's dining table--no one will find you there!

Lucy isn't even a member, and you're going to let her kill him? I suppose that's one way to end the competition. :rolleyes:

Lucy, the great thread killer? No, I think she is hunting mice...but wait, I don't recall Franzbear's photo in the "Cloning Gone Wrong" thread. Just what is this thing!

No, Moonbear is hunting mice. Lucy hunts drinking straws, twist ties, pens and especially threads!

LOL! One of my friends has a cat that hunts rubber bands. He's an outdoor cat and runs around collecting rubber bands and leaves them all on the doorstep. At her house, you never have to look very hard if you need a rubber band, just open the front door! :smile: If someone could guarantee that's all it would hunt, I'd get a cat, but I don't want baby birds and half-eaten mice instead.

I stopped in philosophy during happy hour, and no one was there--well except that one obnoxious guy. There's an official PF Lounge somewhere. :-p Last I heard people were trying decide on a name for it.
Well, I liked the name Gokul gave to it: The Suggestion Box.
I'm still trying to decide if it's a schmoozy, yuppy type martini bar, or a seedy strip club, but I like the name either way. :biggrin:

For various reasons, primarily their own safety, I've never let my cats outside, or the dog without being tied to the house. They're not street smart, and a lot of the neighbours have large dogs. The mice in the house disappear when there's a cat in residence. Lucy caught one the second day she lived here, and there's never been another one seen since. (I had to take it away from her and drown it, though; she had no idea what she was supposed to do with it. :rolleyes:)

Being in technical sales, this is how all of my days go. Anyone that has to work with clients or a design team will appreciate this. (I had to leave two pictures out due to file size)

:smile: :smile: I love it!

I'm not too fond of the idea of "outside" cats anyway. For their own safety and for the happiness of neighbors. I live in suburbs, not country, so it would be rude to send a cat out to take a dump in the neighbor's flower bed. I don't know why dogs have to be leashed but cats don't.

There's talk here in town of licensing cats, which would include a leash law. I have a little harness/leash rig that I bought for Dingbat, but I haven't introduced Lucy to it yet. I wouldn't want to take her for a walk anyway, until the cops return my .45; there's no way I could fight off a pit bull barehanded, and some of the owners thereof aren't terribly responsible. :frown:

Does rat pois...er...I mean special pirate sugar...lose its effectiveness when it's baked? We tried using special pirate flour too, but then the cookies didn't look much like cookies.

Come along franzbear, let's go shopping to get more pirate sugar for you. We know how much you like it. Hop in the car little fella. Do you have your seat belt on? Good. *starts engine* Oh, I forgot my grocery list. You just sit here in the car in the garage and wait for me while I run back for it.

I :!) love :!) these Doc Toxyn dream guy creations. Saw Evo's crab claw man this morning and couldn't quit laughing. The best part is that he's got the crab claws extended way-y-y out in front of him, in the same manner that you might carefully offer a steak to a hungry lioness. :smile: Seriously, Doc - you could make a business out of customized greeting cards.

I'll just place my pre-order now for Val Kilmer with a platter of southern fried chicken! :biggrin:

I did say that didn't I. I never would have imagined that this thread would be so long. I saw pages 1-5 and then last page. I read a few pages and went to last page. I guess I missed pages 6 through about ... 200.

Guess I have to sort through another 194 pages to figure out what a franzbear is and why all the ladies want to kill it.

Great, just got back from being evacuated into the basement parking garage because of a tornado. (I'm still at work) It's one downside to living in Kansas.

Hope I can make it home without getting hit by one. :cry: I swear I spend more time in my basement in the spring and summer than any other part of my house. There is rarely a storm that doesn't have a tornado warning with it.

I grew up in Houston, TX and lived through a couple of bad hurricanes, they were ok because you knew they were coming. Tornadoes are so much scarier, you can't prepare for them. :frown:

The Evo child and I were caught driving in a hail storm a few years ago with BASEBALL SIZE HAIL. Seriously. My three cars at home were smashed up
and $25,000 worth of damage to my house. The car we were driving in amazingly had no glass broken, we were able to get under an overpass for the worst of it, the body looked like a large hammer had been taken to it. We both had the **** scared out of us. The large balls of hail appeared to be composed of dozens of dime to nickel sized hail.

Other than the frequent scary storms, it's great here. :rolleyes:

Once in a while would be fine. Every other day for 5 months wears you down.

I swear it's always the same on the weather channel, "the deadly storm is heading directly for "my tiny town"", which is basically about 3 square miles in size. Apparently I'm in some weather trough that storms always track in. All storms are required to pass directly over my house.

Some of my family lived for a time in Houston (Conroe) and Dallas (Plano). My sister-in-law had to have her car repainted because of a hail storm like that. She was living in Dallas at the time. But of course there is a trade-off where ever you live. In the meantime, I hope you make it home okay...

Not many. As we all know, trailer parks are tornado bait. :-p

Since I've been home, the tornado sirens haven't gone off once. (knock on wood) :rolleyes: They installed a new one last year one house down from me and that thing can wake the dead. Which is good, but I nearly have heart failure every time it goes off.

Know where I can get me one of those tornado alarms? I think my neighbors would love it. I bet it would scare the squirrels away from the bird feeders too. Might make a good car horn.

Hey Evo, Have you ever seen Harvey Birdman?

If your 'happy place' doesn't get a little crazy once in a while, we must be thinking of different things. :-p

It is based on a cartoon that aired about the same time as Space Ghost. I seem to remember watching both of them as a child. Space Ghost has a talk show 'Space Ghost Coast to Coast' where he interviews people. Harvey Birdman has 'Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law'. He argues cases for cartoon characters such as the Flintstone mafia and the Dr. Quest (Jonny Quest) custody battle.

If you like Space Ghost then this might be worth checking out. It's absurd, but I like it. kinda like Danger
