Good job MIH.

Here have some aftershock for your effort.

Gokul, get back here, you won the designated thread sitter post, you have responsibilities!


I'm out, see you all later.

Too late, Gokul strayed from his post and I intercepted MIH's pass! Thread's mine now!

Oh, it would be, but I'm not done with my day of work yet. :frown: I need to get stuff to my PI tomorrow because he's out of town all next week, so tomorrow's the only day he's in the office. I don't have the luxury now of setting it aside and finishing it tomorrow. Time to put on another pot of coffee, it's going to be a late night.

But you go ahead and get some sleep if you're so tired. No need for us both to stay up all night.

Thread sitter, eh ? Think I've got nothing better to do on friday nights ?

Of course you have better things to do on a Friday night. You can just leave the thread with me and it will be fine.
 
  • #315
Hey! With only 4 posts, you're hardly even in the contending as thread killing champion. You need to practice on some other beginner-level threads first. This one is for thread-killing experts only. :biggrin: I've been working on subtely burying this thread all night, just a post or two at a time, and here you go dragging it right back to the top on me. :rolleyes: Must be amateur night...LOL!
 
  • #316
Does starting a thread and getting no replies count as a kill?
 
  • #317
I think we decided that's not killing, because they are stillborn.
 
  • #318
We got read of Artman,how many are still in contention:Moonbear,Franz and me...?

Now saturday mornings are a whole different story.

Wow yeah Moonbear, I followed your advice of going to bed. Best nights sleep I ever had. Thanks for keeping the thread warm for me :smile:
 
  • #321
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING! I was casually going around, bumping up threads to the top while this one was sinking to the bottom, and bam! You put it back on the top again :cry:
 
  • #322
Relax,Matt,there ain't no way u can make us forget about this thread and the relevance of killing it...:wink: :devil:

  • #323
Ughhh, back to the top again, this thread will never die. We need to make a rule: Maybe 12hrs w/o a post and its dead?

That's how I felt last night! The thread-killers had gone to bed, there were people willing to post in other topics, so by careful picking and choosing, they were getting bumped up without a blatantly obvious list of threads with my name as the last poster on all of them, and then someone came in and brought this thread back to the top again!

See, we all are terrible at thread-killing. This thread should have had only a short lifespan, and we may have just given it the kiss of immortality!
 
  • #325
A poisonous kiss,indeed...:-p

This one is going to go 3000 posts,undoubtedly...:devil:

Daniel.
 
  • #326
Yeah this thread is going to be around for a loooong time. It is already up to 9 pages of bs. This thread is not my child, this thread is franz's child, that is why we are all trying to kill it :smile:
 
  • #327
This is Tribdog's EVIL creation...:devil: And yes,it shouldn't be kept alive...About the bs part,i disagree,just because I've posted 25 times...:-p

Daniel.

Oh, you mean the few hours when I couldn't get to PF? From the time stamps on posts here, apparently nobody else could either.
 
  • #340
Well, stop crowding it then.
 
  • #341
I was sleeping too.But now I'm back to life claiming what's rightfully mine,namely this THREAD...:devil:

Danievil.
 
  • #342
What's this thing you call sleep?
 
  • #343
An activity in which u were supposed to relax,unless u're really having nightmares...

Danievil.
 
  • #344
Sleep, eh. And yeah pf was down for me too. Too bad it was not down forever, because then I would have claimed the kill.
 
  • #345
Good, everyone went to bed. Now I can get back to work :smile:
 
  • #346

  • #347
This is very discouraging. I have tried to kill threads before... I get a kick out of that, but you guys refuse to cooperate.

I hereby name this thread Wyle E., after Wyle E. Coyote, because we've flatten it, squashed it under a boulder, sent it off a cliff, exploded it, and even stuck it up a rhino's rectum, yet it just scrapes itself up and keeps on going.

Yeah, tribdog was daring enough to retrieve from the rhino rectum, what a move that was. I soo thought the thread would be safe there.
 
  • #350
Hey, give credit where credit is due! I retrieved the thread from the rhino. Nobody else was daring to go there, and I had the long gloves.
