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.

Ughh! My nose is stuffy and I cannot sleep. This is the first time in years that I have been even somewhat sick

Sick, or spring allergies? Everything has just started blooming around here, and after such a rainy winter, allergy sufferers are going to be in bad shape (I just get a mildly stuffy nose...they hate me :-p).

You are probably right MB, it probably is just allergies. Either way, I am doing good now.

I'm convinced this thread has no food for thought or for my stomach, but I'll just double check again maybe someone left the coffee pot from the colloquium

Well, if you want to try to reconstitute the burnt on sludge at the bottom of the pot, you're welcome to it. I don't think the fur on it will hurt much. :smile:

I'll take it if he doesn't. My rule about coffee is that if it doesn't leap snarling from the cup and rip out my nose hairs, I'll drink it.

*stares at furry sludge in bottom of coffee pot* :bugeye: I'm not so sure about the safety of your nose hairs if you drink it, but it seems to be sitting there pretty quietly at the moment. :smile: Then again, if your nose hairs are long enough for it to get a good grip on them, they probably needed a trim anyway.

Darn right! Sometimes you just have to have priorities.

The boojum is a type of Snark, the mythical creature that the crew hunts in _The Hunting of the Snark_, a story by Lewis Carroll. The Snark is a delicious creature that is also useful for striking a light, but the Boojum--if you meet with a Boojum, you might softly and suddenly vanish away. This happens to the Baker.

Now, given the mysterious disappearing powers of this thread, it is a Boojum. You hunt the snark with railway-shares, soap, smiles... and beware the fearsome jubjub bird... and beware the Boojum.

Ah, snark hunting, a long-standing coming-of-age tradition passed down from fathers to sons, and older kids in summer camps to the new kids. :smile:

No, I think that's "snipe hunting."
 
  • #2,267
Yep. My theory about Moonbear psychologically conditioning us to spam in her name is holding up.

I am convinced she is holding back that coffee pot with a box of donuts, and the minute I leave this thread she is going to take it out and lure her next pray.. naa uh.. I figured you out now.

Now that you mention it, "snipe" hunting sounds right. Oh well. Don't you think it would be better to call it snark hunting though? The nerds could send the dumb kids off snark hunting. Anyone who knew what a snark was would of course not be fooled, and they could use that to avoid accidentally victimizing a fellow nerd. :smile:

:rolleyes: Is he gone yet? The coast looks clear.

*takes out box of donuts and fresh coffee* Anyone need some sugar and caffeine?

mmmm yes to both! Its my 7pm sluggish time..the time when the whole day seems to catch up with me. :zzz:
 
  • #2,271
Sugar and caffeine are unhealthy, you know.
 
  • #2,272
In my family there considered food of the Gods...{jk} The one time I tried to quit coffee I fell into a lethargic stooper which somehow involved the color purple and the knowledge that innocent people were about to be hurt.
So its for the safty of the world that I drink coffee.

Drug addiction is nasty stuff. I have read stories of people who successfully quit coffee and found that they were overall more alert for it.

I hit that somewhere between 3 and 4 PM. Though, with the time change this week, I'm struggling to stay awake past 9 PM (waking up an hour earlier is getting to me).

BLASPHEMY!

Caffeine is the nectar of the gods! Life force distilled!
 
  • #2,276
Yes, and so is chewing coca leaves! Great stuff! Makes you so alert!

Face it, caffeine is a drug. You develop tolerance and dependency to it over time, but you can quit.

But why would i?

Of course its a drug. Your point?
 
  • #2,278
You'd quit because it's an unhealthy drug. How many coffee fixes do you need per day? If you keep on drinking coffee you're going to need more and more.
