Click For 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.

Absolutely! We take great pride in the loving care we give to turtles. :approve:


Ahh, what a wonderous and varied species the turtle is...there's one out there for everyone.

Wood turtle - a "solid" choice
Sliders - no wax required
Snappers - only for the experienced handler
Map turtle - knows their way around the bush
Side-necked - useful in tight quarters
Leatherback - for the kinky turtle owner
Softshells - requires pharmacological intervention
Diamondback - for the girl who has everything
and the most sought after variety...The Big-Headed turtle :bugeye: .

Indeed, a species known for its longevity, as well as size... :biggrin: .

Of course, the longevity is far more important than size.

I try to avoid the snappers...don't want a turtle that will bite you when you try to kiss it. Kissing turtles is a much better way of finding a prince than kissing frogs, that's for sure!
 
  • #3,705
Oh I don't know. Research shows a lot of turtles carry various diseases. I won't want an experienced turtle muncher to be around my turtle. Once a turtle gets sick you got to take it to the hospital, and the doctors give it all kinds of shots, its just not worth it!

Who said anything about munching turtles? That would be barbaric! I said kiss the turtle. Sheesh. :rolleyes:

Do you suspect, as I do, that perhaps this lad has been beaver hunting in the wrong locations?
 
  • #3,708
On contrary, I don't do outdoors that much.

Kissing turtles is just as infectious as munching them, or so I've been told

I have gone way too long without a turtle. I can barely remember what it was like. I had decided I was better off alone, I am really picky and not willing to take in just any turtle, but all this turtle talk has made me realize how much I miss them.

Unfortunately all the good turtles are either unavailable, are too young and/or are not geographically accessible. :frown:

As long as you don't insist upon it having red ears, I understand that there's a quality line of robot turtles available to one in your situation... :-p

Not if you only kiss your own pet turtle. You don't want to just kiss any turtle you find out in the wild; you're right, who knows what sort of diseases they might carry, but if you keep a domesticated one around, nothing wrong with kissing it.

Robot turtles will never replace the real thing.

cronxeh said:

It all depends. I prefer younger turtles, but I guess that's mostly because I haven't met many older turtles that weren't emotionally scarred by mistreatment by previous owners.

Only as a stop-gap (pardon the expression) solution, I assure you; that is one
instance where I certainly don't care to be replaced by a machine.:-p

Damn!

I wouldn't at all be surprised if you could find one with red ears if you really want your robot turtle to have red ears.

I was browsing opera's forums and I saw a thread called: "Game: Last Post." This is very similar to this thread, except here it is not a game but serious business. Check the thread out. It has 36,000 posts on 1400 pages. http://my.opera.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=23427

The number of pages almost covers up the entire screen :smile:
 
  • #3,727
Yeah, but you have to weigh that against the fact that most of the posts THERE consist of a single smiley, sometimes accompanied by a sentence fragment.
 
  • #3,728

The free beer ad brought in undesirables. I have another idea. Why not offer to sponsor men from overseas? If "mail-order brides" can work for guys, why not for us? The interviewing, maybe even testing could be worthwhile in itself? :-p

And :-p right back at you! :biggrin: How do you make the bars?
 
  • #3,741
In Windows: Start --> All Programs --> Accessories --> System Tools --> Character Map and then select the bar and do copy

One thing that's annoying on my computer is that often I want to "select all text until the end of the document." Especially with the blocks, because for some reason my computer gets really slow when I'm scrolling past them so I don't want to mouse-select and wait for the scroll bar to go all the way to the bottom. Now, "go to end of document" is cntrl-end. "select" is shift. My computer is a laptop. Cntrl-end-shift is SYSTEM STANDBY.

Actually I do have a "best friend in Italy". :-p Of course he's absolutely brilliant to the point of being borderline insane, (concert pianist/composer turned architect, turned media mogul and he just turned 32) but that's probably why he's still able to tolerate me after 7 years. But being an Italian, he still lives at home with his mother since he's single.

This is him. He recently escaped being held hostage on a remote island by Romanian bikini models. :devil:

Oh, guess I don't get to play with bars, since I have a Mac. Oh well, I have more fun playing in bars anyway. :biggrin:

I second those, but I usually use 'EDIT' 'SELECT ALL' because my memory doesn't work so well on keyboard shortcuts. What's this about bars, though? Does your display show something other than a bunch of coloured ?'s?

I'm going to ignore them other silly womens, them talkin' 'bout importing dudes from way somewheres else. Too many dudes here already for to give decent market shares.
 
  • #3,745
"Select all" is cntrl-A in Windows. But I mean selecting until the end, and excluding the stuff above. Say I have made a text picture in wordpad, and copy-pasted it into my message, and then posted the message. Now I discover there's a problem with the picture, so I fix it in wordpad.

Now I copy the new picture and edit my post. But what now? Somehow I have to select the part of my post that has the flawed picture, and _not_ select the part of my post that has anything else I've typed, in order to paste the new picture over the old. Selecting everything would erase what I've already typed. Hence the horrible mistake, shift-cntrl-end, sending my computer into standby (preserving programs but mostly turning the computer off) and breaking my internet connection.

I think you can still work with the bars by selecting a bar in one of my pictures and clicking copy. Probably there's a built-in way to make bars on a mac too but I don't use macs much.

Nope...see how it all changed to question marks when I quoted you? It looks right in my reply window, but the codes are somehow different when I reply with a Mac. Oh well, not like I have the hours you seem to have to create forum art. :-p

In post 5023, BT's smiley face is made with colored bars, not question marks, but it converts to question marks when I quoted it.
 
  • #3,748
Well, question marks are fine also, just not as dark. Or W's. It doesn't take a really long time unless it's difficult, like the eye. I whipped up the tongue smiley in about 15 minutes because I had a template (the tongue smiley here, blown up in Paint), and it would have been shorter except I had to fine-tune some things.

Of course, there are techniques to use to speed the process up. :wink:
