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.

Come on franzbear. I want to introduce you to some friends of mine. They have some really nice toys. Here, you can use this to color all over yourself and it'll never wash off. Isn't that amazing. What do you say we start by filling in those fence post impressions Uncle Artman left on your face. We'll get you some new teeth too, stronger, faster, better teeth. Really shiny ones that Moonbear will just love.

What are you doing to my baby?! franzbear, I can't even leave you alone for a moment! Haven't you learned not to listen to your Uncle Huck when he tells you to do things?

I find that large quantities of alcohol make people much more pliant. When that doesn't work small quantities of ether do the trick very well. Besides, I think franzbear looks quite handsome with his new look. Just look at him smile. I probably shouldn't have used those rusty needles for his tatoo. Oh well, I doubt it will make a difference anyway.

Hey, Now that Bicycle Tree is asleep what do you say we shave off one of his eyebrows and take a few photos for all his friends?

Oh he'll love that. I would use a permanent marker. Imagine the look on his face when he wakes up and goes to the bathroom and sees stuff on his face. Maybe a big swastika on his forehead and a love note from Uncle Charlie. I bet he would get a kick out of that.

How's your rescheduling going?

Ooh, you're more creative than I am. I was thinking of drawing in eyes on his eyelids and a handlebar mustache.

How's your rescheduling going?

Didn't work. I only took a 4 hour nap (it was only meant to be a half hour or hour nap), but I'm right back where I started only 4 hours of sleep. Maybe I should try melatonin again. I tried it before, and it was useless, but I don't think the dose was high enough to be effective in overcoming normal feedback mechanisms. I might just see if it works to increase the dose a bit. If not, then back to the drawing board.

Oh, the swastika tattoo looks great! I think he needs to show it off. In, fact, franzbear, why don't you take this car for a drive through South Central, L.A. and show off your tattoo to all the folks there. You must be old enough to drive by now. Which car? Oh, just take this one with the "Rodney King had it coming" bumper sticker. Make sure you wave to all the new friends you meet. Making new friends is good!

Oh, man! franzbear, make sure you tell all your new friends that it was your idea!

:rolleyes: Maybe this is going too far... *slips bullet-proof jacket onto BT* Okay, now I don't feel so guilty.

And, franzbear, honey, here's a nice bandana for you to wear to look cool for all the friends you're going to meet.

Do what you want. I suggest too much lipstick, too much eye shadow, and the bad side of town.(pick up some extra money for the weekend) :-p

Oh, but do drive nice and slow. We don't want you to get hurt. If someone tries to rush you by honking the horn, you just give them the finger and let them know who's boss. :-p

Huck, what are you thinking? The last thing we need is to pull a "Lee Majors" on little franzbear. He's hard enough to get rid of without him being the "Six-Million Dollar Kid". :cry:

No wait, let's dip his hand in warm water...no,no let's put egg whites in his shorts...oooh no let's put shaving cream on his hands and tickle his face, no let's move him and his matress into the elevator...no let's duct tape him into his bed...no, wait lets... :rolleyes: :devil:

BTW, I have participated in all these at some point in my life, I just won't say how...

I've got it! We put the shaving cream on his hands, tickle his face. The, to "clean" his hands, we'll dip them in warm water. Now, quickly, dict tape him to his bed and slip those eggs in for a urine and egg mixture. Now, we take him to the elevator and press all the buttons. :-p

If you're going to send him to every floor in the elevator, you should stick a keg of beer in there with him to appease those who were planning to use the elevator and are inconvenienced by his snoring.

We could just give him some sleeping pills, put him in a potato sack, and leave him in the dumpster on garbage day. :-p

Oh darn, he's awake. I was going to handcuff him to a bed in a sleezy hotel and hire a prostitute to wake him up. We'll have to take all his money before we let the prostitute in the room. We'll give it back to him later.

Hey, anyone up for a round of beers on Bicycle Tree? What a great guy!

Oh, C'mon. I would get a kick out of hearing the music every time he ate something.
"Take another bite of that cheeseburger, franzbear."

Can I come play in your thread? :blushing: I just dropped my toaster in the bath and I thought you might know someone who could swim to the bottom and fish out the toast for me. They can have half as a reward, I've got some yummy jam.

franzbear will do it for you. We know from previous experience that he's immune to the effects of electrocution.

I have problems with them too. Well, not problems really. Whenever I'm scrolling down the posts it drags as I come across those graphics. It looks like everything gets all scrambled up and some things reload faster than other parts of the screen and I feel like I'm in limbo. Nothing is actually getting messed up except my comprehension of what I'm looking at.

Yomamma, is that the kind of problem you are having too?

Oh, even better, why don't we give him some hamburger to take in with him so the nice piranhas will come close enough for him to pet. franzbear really likes to learn about new animals.

Damn, I knew I'd spell piranhas wrong. That darned tricky H.

In that case, maybe it's time to ask BT to stop posting those. I didn't have a problem with his recent "artwork" since it stayed small enough to scroll past quickly, but if it's causing people problems, hopefully he'll be considerate and stop (or just post them somewhere else where those who don't have a problem viewing them can enjoy them without them disturbing those can't view them without it bogging down their computers...BT, why don't you resurrect that thread with the bicycle art in it for those pictures?).

:smile: And to think, I took a good guess and hoped I got that h in the right place too! I knew it didn't look right where it was, and that it was supposed to be somewhere, but I wasn't quite sure where to put it either. :biggrin:

What kind of computers do you people have? Mine is only 2.4 gHz and it is not slowed down much.
 
  • #4,443
Mine's a piece of junk, too. No way is it running at full speed.
 
  • #4,444
I notice that this thread has 5733 posos and 47529 views. Does this mean that only about 8-9 people are reading it? Sometimes I'll read a post and I won't see the number of views increase when I refresh the page. How is the number of views determined?
 
  • #4,445
Probably it's the number of views after each post. So after someone posts, everyone who views it gets added again, and then they don't get added again no matter how many times they view it until someone posts again.

I have also noticed that the number of views apparently has a delay on it. Maybe it's only added up every hour or so.

No, it seems to count even if you view the same thing twice...or more.

I don't notice a delay. Maybe it depends on how frequently you refresh the page and how often your browser updates the cache?

Wow, that came across pretty condescending! :bugeye: Does it surprise you that not everyone may own the latest in high speed computers or be using high speed access?
 
  • #4,448
No, my computer really is a piece of junk. And 2.4 GHz is really not very good. It's a 2 year old laptop with a broken screen and a SMART failure predicted on boot for the hard drive. The CD-RW drive does not work and neither does the floppy drive. Plus there are two keys missing from the keyboard and the mouse port no longer works.
 
  • #4,449
I have a monitor, mouse, and keyboard hooked up, so it's usable, but still, it's junk.

LOL! Sounds like my last PC. If I moved it, some card popped out so it wouldn't start up (or do much of anything), so I had to carry a screwdriver with it everywhere I went. After opening it up a few 100[/size] times, the tabs that hold the keyboard down snapped off. Yeah, one of the keys fell off too. I didn't manage to crack the monitor, but the screws attaching it to the base are stripped, so it's pretty wobbly. Then again, it's over 10 years old now, and if I'm really nice to it, and want to wait a long time, it still starts and runs what's on it. Nonetheless, if someone else was using something that gave them worse performance, it would be rude to tell them they were using something that's worse than a piece of junk. It might just be a slow connection, or whatever else they are running slowing down the computer. Or maybe they do have a slower computer, and they may be aware of that, so no need to point it out.
