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.

I was being a bit sarcastic. I meant "fun" as in constant headaches trying to repair strange things in an old house not built to accommodate modern conveniences. I must have a shower to wash my hair, there's just too much of it; normal people can just stick their head under a faucet and be done.
Most of the house is pretty modernized. The only really serious aggravation is that the kitchen is the only room with 3-prong outlets. Hence I am sitting 4 feet away from it in the middle of the living room so my power bar can reach around the corner.
And despite the age, I still have most of my hair. It's just receding in front, but no bald spot. I keep it very short though (biggest guide for clippers). It used to be longer, but after I did the Head Shave for Cancer thing at the Legion I realized how much easier it is to take care of. About 3 months before the next event, I'll quit cutting it and shaving my beard. (You can get extra sponsorship for a beard sometimes.)

I've never found it to be a problem with a single one.

Well... cold water makes things shrink, so he probably needs it close to boiling...

I don't have time to check back, but there must have been something. :-p

Ooh, that's mean! :smile:

Well, I'm a hot water hog myself, so I can't say too much. But I'm also usually a generous person, which is why the second shower head sounds like a good idea to me. Let the other person get some hot water too.

When i share showers, no one is cold in there. Although a second one is still generally necessary, otherwise the normal purpose of a shower is kinda defeated.

Well, there goes the water conservation excuse. :rolleyes:

That excuse was eliminated at the suggestion of using two shower heads.

So I guess you're cheaper to bribe than Moonbear...

I'm cheap, but I'm not easy.


Or is it the other way around? (I'm so confused now that Dangerdog has stopped using smilies.)

It would never occur to me to think of you as 'easy'. Simple, perhaps, but never easy... :biggrin:

I guess you're right, my wife says I'm difficult.

I like that thing. It's succinct, yet somehow elegant.

I'm going to have to slow down the sparring a tad. My boss always wants to discuss the latest episode of 'Lost', and I haven't watched the one I taped a couple of nights ago. Carry on, and I'll try to catch up every 10 or 15 minutes.

I thought that's what :-p was for. And you, Moonbear and I are going to have to sit us down and figure out once and for all how to spell 'tphgthght' (whatever). If we don't reach a concensus, it's just going to confuse the newbies.

Okay, now I'm going.

Her daytime schedule seems to be that she strikes about 15 minutes before I have to go to work, so you should have about 1:45. :biggrin:

eexcellent. Do you have the plots for her daily activity on weekly basis?

We'll have to also include the lunch times and other idlings. It seems she is not devoting -all- her time on PF, and wasting it on sleep and professising.. whatever that means

Not yet. My own schedule is so screwy that it's hard to correlate to hers. Besides, she seems to be one of those who pops in and out randomly. Half the time she posts something she's shown as logged out. Evo too.:confused:

I guess it can mean whatever you want it too; it's your word. :biggrin: Daniel Webster must be just standing somewhere shaking his head in amazement. :-p

Entrirely too much "grin" for that particular use.

As far as irreverence and mindset and suchlike go, yeah. :biggrin:
A lot of the tech stuff still eludes me, though. It took me 2 or 3 days to figure out how to use these bloody quotes, and I still don't know how to post a picture or make a link. (I made a link by accident once, but nobody'll tell me how I did it.) :redface: And I'm still running into new acronyms every few days.
