AI Thread 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.

The first time I listened to it for like 10 seconds and thought 'techno' blah. Then I listened to it again with more patience. After the first 30 seconds or so it starts getting pretty interesting. Then the vocals kick in and I was really enjoying it. (Who is that? Shakira?)

The beginning needs more. Accompanied by a visual performance that space could be filled up with other things. Listening to the music all by itself the beginning needs to be reduced in length or spiced up a little. I could see a techno club jumpin' to that song.

What did you do to it?

Well, I don't have that "Scary sort of Steve McQueeny after a motorcycle accidenty" type thing going on, but I look okay. :biggrin:
Artman, this pic you sent me of you with a merkin, well first of all we can't see you, and that looks like a cat--not a merkin!

Now, I am not an expert in DJs.. but is that guy getting his turtle waxed?
cronxeh, those smilies are just dancing. Looks like it's time for the 12-step program to cure your trance music fantasies. :rolleyes:

SOS: you are hilarious. come over today around 11, ill leave backdoor open. bring beer

HUCK: its a special cutoff filter from those people who don't appreciate great music :biggrin:

I don't know who the vocals belong to, or what the song's name is. I took it from a happy hardcore mix (DJ Myers - Contempo 7). I'm trying to find who the vocals belong to or what the song itself is, but not very successfully.

Geez, I'm still trying to recover from all the partying -- And since Evo doesn't want to share Highlander, I'll have to think of something to request of DocTox.

In the meantime, it seems the business Danger and Artman have started is just a mobile cancer clinic. Perhaps the sisterhood should get a cut of the action? :rolleyes:

More like an indoor arena—a bit of excercise out of the weather. :approve:

Me too. I must admit that's a good bit of work. If I can get it into the computer, I'll post a picture of me before I started shaving and you'll see how close you really are. :biggrin:

An adjunct to the clinic. It's like a bookmobile. (Port-a-Pus... naw.)

Sorry gang, it's my fault. I got distracted trying to keep impressionable little franzbear from seeing Cronxeh and his bawdy band of basketball-balancing beavers (very impressive BTW).

Evo, don't be too hard on us...except for those who like that kind of thing. :devil: :bugeye:

Yeah, I was pretty happy with it. Though the beavers did stand out a bit too much. I should have washed them out a bit to work with the tonal quality of the background. It's like my grandfather used to say-

"Always remember to wash your beavers, or else you could end up with a nasty pelting" :wink:

Catch you guys in the AM.

Look at the mess!

Where did all these beavers come from? ARTMAN!

Gosh, they do look like my legs except I'm a lot thinner. And, oh no, I think I'm allergic to merkins.

They had a guy on the Tonight Show a few nights ago who had a tattoo of a face on the back of his head. He had shaved his head except for a little tuft in the back that was the mustache on the tattoo face. Simultaneously funny and a big frightening at the same time. I think they said the guy owned a motorcycle repair shop (or maybe just worked in one) in KY.

First his wife slipped a mickey in his martini. Then we hit him with a stun gun a few times just for fun. Next time his wife says 'Take out the trash' he won't be so argumentative. The positive side is that now he gets much more rest at work.

I can believe that. That face looks more realistic than some of the people I hang out with. I didn't even notice that there was no nose until I got to wondering what was holding the glasses up. :biggrin:

I didn't even notice that the picture didn't have a nose until you pointed it out. People can miss the simplest things.

Earlier in the afternoon I was watching Ripley's and there was a man from the UK with 6 fingers on each hand. The extra finger was between his thumb and forefinger and it was fully functional. He says that nobody even notices it. He spent several years in the military and nobody even acknowledged his extra digit.

Marketing advertisers do something similar. For example there will be a picture of a horse in their add, but the horse will have 5 legs. They theory is that the subconscious picks up on the extra appendage and makes note of it. So later when you see the product you associate it with the 5-legged horse and it stands out more.

I think I'll keep my nose anyway. I'm kind of attached to it. :-p
Ever notice that smilies have no noses!

Just goes to show the average intelligence of folks in marketing and advertising. Then again, they do make a lot of money while doing very little of anything that makes sense to anyone, so maybe they aren't as dumb as they act.

I believe the brain will adjust for what it thinks it should see. Just the same, I thought my ideas for marketing hand-held MRI products were pretty good, and Artman's and Danger's slogans and jingles for their beaver buinsess are quite ingenious.

I once considered trying to market breast milk products like ice cream, yogurt and cheese, but I was informed that the FDA health regulations would not permit it. Too bad, I think it would be a profitable business.

Yep, but that's because none of you is really in marketing (hope not anyway now that I insulted the field of marketing :bugeye: ...if you are, then you're the exception to the rule :biggrin:), so you all have good ideas. :biggrin:

That's just not right. I heard it tastes like melon juice. Melons...seems everything demented points back toward tribdog. :rolleyes:

I wondered what in the heck my glasses were doing on top of my head when I woke up.

Advertiser's can find 5 legged cows and you guys can't even stick a decent nose on my head.

Whew, what kind of martinis was I drinking? And why do I have this urge to take out the trash?

If you have a job available in the dairy barn, I can arrange my regular work schedule to fit. :biggrin: (Surely you're not going to waste an opportunity like this on milking machines...)

This is a natural subsidiary of the Beaver Transport business. I will gladly do some juggling myself. :wink:

:rolleyes: (In a completely plutonic way that...who am I kidding? My wife would kill me if I worked a shift in that dairy barn!) :cry:
