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.

look franzbear, more of aunt Evo's frog pictures. (I almost forgot why we're here)

Yes, I really collect unusual frog pictures. :rolleyes:

I love the first one with the foot in the face.

AARGHHhh! i gott wakeup at 5 and then study more and then submit fingerprints to one place

What sort of exams are you taking that they require fingerprints?! :confused:

Good luck! In a few days, it will be all over and you won't even know what to do with all the free time you suddenly have...other than sleep that is. :biggrin:

Where did Tsu leave those keys? It might take a little extra time, I think I have to hotwire this thing. C'mon franzbear, we're going for a ride. Wanna stick your head out the window while I drive past those trees at supersonic speeds?

He's a real chip off the ol' block. :approve:

Moonbear, why don't you drive through that stand of trees over there by the stream? We might see some beavers.

What franzbear? Oh, the trees aren't "that" close together. They only look that way at this speed. :rolleyes:

Ooops, must've bumped something. Tsu is so much better driving this thing than I am. Good thing we got it armor plated so I can't dent it. :biggrin:

I just got news that my aunt died. She's had cancer for a long time now. I've been expecting this news for weeks now. I didn't know her all that well, but she was always kind and friendly. My poor mom has been with her for a month now. I'm afraid she will take it hard. :frown:

Sorry to hear that Huck. My sympathies to you and your family. :frown:

As soon as franzbear stops seeing stars, I'll send him over to keep you company. He's good at cheering people up. :smile:

That's very sad Huckleberry, my condolences for your mom. Are you ok?

Good thing the freezer is stocked with plenty of frozen broccoli. We can use it to ice that bump on his head. He's a pretty resilient kid, no need to worry.

Evo said:

Yeah, I'm okay. I've been expecting this for months now. It feels strange actually. I somehow think I should feel more sad than I actually do. I'm a bit relieved that she has passed away. She's been suffering for months now and the whole family has been pretty frantic. Would it sound harsh if I said I am glad that things can get back to normal and everyone can start moving on with their lives now?

Thanks for asking if I'm alright. Like I said before, you're the best Evo. :smile:

Frozen broccoli has amazing restorative powers. Pretzel sticks seem to have the same affect.

He'll be right as rain in a few days :approve:

family that dies near you that affects your parents, will affect you. These situations can become complex. I want to make sure that you are not being dragged under into a sea of guilt.

Hi; I got here almost an hour ago, but I started reading a few pages back to catch up. I'm not even going to try to comment on most of it, except that I thought that Cronxeh's previous avatar was a wet rabbit with a beak.
My condolences as well, Huck. And in response to your question... no. A sense of relief is perfectly normal, but most people are too hypocritical to admit to it, or afraid of upsetting someone else who's still grieving. If she was as ill as it appears for that length of time, it was probably a relief for her too. :smile:

Huckleberry said:

Not harsh at all. Pretty normal really. It's hard to watch someone suffer and to watch those close suffer along as someone grows more and more ill, so it's very normal to feel relief when it's finally over. Sometimes just knowing they're done with their suffering is some comfort. There are a lot of different ways that people react to death, so there's no reason to feel guilty or bad about reacting differently than someone else does.

Okay, back to the laughs and the good times then. I'm not sure why I brought it up besides that you guys feel like friends and I don't like keeping things to myself. (Never tell me a secret :wink: ) Thanks for the encouragement.
 
  • #4,220
No problem, franzbear needed a few minutes to get his wind back in his sails anyway.

Okay franzbear, just keep that frozen broccoli on that bump on your head. And remember, if you fall off the horse, you have to get right back on it. As soon as we get back up to supersonic speed, you better get your head right back out that window.

We're on the way! We just had a slight mishap with franzbear and had to stop briefly, but we're back up to supersonic speed.

No more procrastinating franzbear, get that head back out the window!

Molson, huh? Okay, we'll make a pitstop across the border then. Danger, have the Molson ready and we'll bring you along for the ride!

I think the time machine might be a built in feature in the supersonic RV, but I'll get franzbear to check the owner's manual. Franzbear? Uh oh! I think I hit a bit too high of an altitude. He looks a little frozen out that window. Don't worry franzbear, once we're past this neighborhood and over that forest, I can drop back down to a lower altitude without disturbing the people sleeping with the sonic boom.

Only 2002? I thought 1995 was a good year for me. Or maybe sometime in the 1980s...there was a guy I went to school with who turned out better than I expected, and I'd like to try to be his high school sweetheart. :biggrin:

It's always ready. You're on. If I can't fly 'shotgun', I want some very attentive companionship on that couch in the back. :-p

No problem, Evo promised she'd bring along her beaver.

Something very strange just happened. I heard a scratching noise coming from the trash can. I went over to investigate and saw a few ants on an empty paper bag near the trash can. I opened it up and dozens of ants were inside! I looked in the trash can and there were only a few ants. What I don't understand is that there was a box of pizza in the trash can with no ants on it, but there were tons of ants in the empty, clean paper bag. :confused:

So I flattened out the bag and dumped them out and crushed them one by one with a brass wire brush. Took about 10 minutes. I'll have to vacuum tomorrow.

Were you just extremely bored, or was there some specific reason for doing it that way?

Then I'm definitely in! :-p
 
  • #4,235
I had some laying around right by the trash can, along with some rags, and some cans of aerosol carpet, tire, and glass cleaner and a DO NOT ENTER street sign.
I don't know why they leave these things laying around on the highway

Couldn't you just have immobilized them with the carpet cleaner (carpet bombed them, so to speak), and then squished them all at once with the street sign?

Hmm...my weapon of choice would have been the glass cleaner or carpet cleaner (maybe a little of each) and a vacuum cleaner! Then again, I'm the one who shampooed all the carpets in my house after finding about a dozen ants, most of them dead already, that snuck inside this winter. Bugs belong outside, and when they trespass, I don't fire any warning shots.

Funny, my weapon of choice would be a bazooka.

For little ants? :rolleyes: I was choosing from the arsenal he had on hand. At least he didn't make us name the ants. (Ahem...MIH?) :biggrin:

Can't we all just get along? :approve: Most insects that end up in my house get politely escorted back outside. Spiders can stay, if their webs are in low traffic areas. I just hate destroying something like that in front of my son and giving him the impression that its OK to do that when there are alternatives. o:) However, I do understand if you are being invaded by significant numbers and drastic measures are called for.

My latest local insect find (outdoors) was the oil beetle of the family of blister beetles, genus Meloe. When disturbed this rather large ant-like beetle will spontaneously bleed from it joints. This fluid is caustic and toxic by virtue high levels of the agent catharidin which coincidentally is the main ingredient in the aphrodisiac "Spanish Fly"...Do you guys need any of that for your RV trip?

Somehow, I think a really suitable avatar for DocToxyn would be a rattlesnake poised to strike.

Rattlesnakes are interesting, but the scale pattern on the King Cobra's head is really striking (no pun intended, well maybe a little). Even the scientific name is pretty, Ophiophagus hannah, now how can you be scared of that!

This fall we will be voting for a new "funniest member award". This is going to be really tough. Artman, Danger, Zoobyshoe, Huckleberry, SOS, DocToxyn, Moonbear, MIH, BicycleTree, Cronxeh, BobG, etc... I have to nominate members that I think deserve the award. How will I choose? How will I ever decide?

Chocolates for Evo

I for one am shocked and appalled that someone should offer a bribe to be nominated funniest member. Moonbear, sending chocolates! I mean really.

:rolleyes: So, what is the high bid right now?

And to think that someone should mention the offer of SEX! I mean really!

What? No one offered SEX yet? :rolleyes: You mean nobody has even suggested a night of incredible, mind blowing, Earth shaking, SEX (and backrub) for the offer of a nomination as funniet member? When such a thing could be so easily arranged? This surprises me. :biggrin:

Obviously, you can't have three 'Scouts'. There can only be one 'Scout'. The others must be named 'Rumer' and 'Tallulah'.

My biggest worry with the ants was what were they eating! They weren't the little black picnic ants that take over kitchens, but they weren't the big carpenter ants either, sort of a middle sized ant. So, they were uninvited. They get into the tracks of the windows and nest for winter it seems (I don't know why, they are vinyl windows, not wood...guess it's warm enough from the heat of the house to make it desireable...they sure do pack a lot of crud in there with them), and having a warm spell in the middle of winter, they woke up and wandered inside. They definitely belonged outside, not inside. Once the weather got warm enough to open windows for a while, I just washed the rest of their friends out of the tracks and that seems to have done the trick. I don't feel too guilty about it, there are always plenty more where they came from.

I'm convinced that by killing spiders and knocking down their webs, I'm actually helping the spider population. It's a housing project for poor, underprivileged spiders. Knock down one fat spider with its huge web and there are 4 more smaller spiders waiting to move in. Spiders are welcome to stay in the garage and basement as long as they earn their keep by eating the other insects that try sneaking in that way, and they have the run of the outdoors, with the exception of any that build webs across my deck where I'll walk into them...but I don't kill those spiders, just do a funny dance of disgust as I try to get the web unstuck from myself. They are expected to relocate to a less traveled part of the yard.

The giant, furry spiders get the best deal. There's no way I'm touching those things, alive or dead, so they get herded toward an open door with the gentle prodding of a broomstick if I find them inside.

Darn freeloaders! Give 'em the boot before they tell all their friends where to find free food! :biggrin: See, that's why at the first sign of just a few ants, I was going nuts scrubbing and shampooing floors, etc. I didn't want to offer any encouragement at all to stick around and invite the rest of the family and friends. I think you should seriously consider an anteater as a pet. :approve:

Yep. Aren't they just so cute with that long tongue? :approve:

Speaking of cute, I'm wondering if I should say anything about DocToxyn's newest avatar. He doesn't seem to take it well when I think it's cute. I usually just prefer to keep my distance from snakes, but that one is posed in a way that I just want to reach out and pet it. :biggrin:
