The top offenders identified include franznietzsche, Moonbear, and tribdog, with a playful tone suggesting a competition for the title of "thread killer."

The thread is not well, (probably hung over), but it is certainly not dead (7 pages since I went away). But now that I am back it is getting better already. Soon it will be ready to be killed. At which time, I'll be here for it. :smile:

why don't we just keep fattening it up until Thanksgiving and we'll kill it then?

Great idea, MIH. It will probably be very fat by then.

  • #412
By the time I wake up? I just woke up a few hours ago. It's a long time before I get to go to sleep. Oh, wait, I do have a noon meeting coming up soon, but those only last about and hour. More of an afternoon nap. :smile:

Dexter you will not win. I made a quick program that scans this thread for your name. And if it appears more than it did before, it will post for me, making sure that you will never win :devil:

what if I just write a program that evaluates each new post and posts to the thread if (LastPoster != Math Is Hard)?

Then pf will be shutdown for a while due to bandwidth problems
 
  • #418
Aww, look at all of you, "my program is bigger than your program." It's just so cute. Me, I don't need no stinkin' programs. I'll just wait until Greg bans all your IPs to stop the bandwidth problems, and then I'll slip in for the kill! Muwahahahahaha! :devil:
 
  • #419
lol, I do not know if it would break any contracts, but I bet you can expect, as Moonbear said, to be banned.

I feel immortal. I have started a thread that could become one of the all time greatest. Perhaps able to rival the great "stupid quetion"
All I can say is that it is about time. Finally you all are starting to realize I am better than you and are responding as you should. I command you to continue posting to MY thread. Pay hommage to me.

At 20, I think I may be the youngest person posting in this thread, so I will probably outlive you all. And then...
I have a reason to live. :smile:

Hey Dex, did you see the great ping pong game going on in some other thread?

ping - pong - ping - pong - ping - pong - ping - pong - ping - pong

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Is he gone yet?

I like ping pong.I play it,everytime i get the chance...

And i feel OFFENDED that u assumed i'd fall for that...:mad:

Daniel.
Fall for what? o:)

ping - pong - ping - pong

What ever are you referring to, Dex?

<must make dex want to go play ping-pong.>ping - pong - ping - pong

<must continue subliminal ping-pong infusion.>ping - pong - ping - pong

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Now don't be -ping- offended Dex. It just -pong- means that -ping- I consider you a -pong- worthy adversary, -ping- such as you might find -pong- in a good Ping -ping- Pong -pong- match. o:) :smile:

No reason to be -ping- offended. :smile:

Perhaps if we had a Rhino that needed collecting... :-p

Now, where's my Barry White CD?

Please,no more connection between Barry White & rhino...:cry:I may get disgusted and leave...

Ooh, I love ping-pong. I'm terrible at it, but it doesn't stop me. It just makes the game more interesting to smack the ball off light fixtures, bookcases, the pet cat, etc. :biggrin: (Disclaimer: No actual cats were harmed in the making of this thread.)[/size]

My persistence in ping-pong is somewhat similar to my persistence in this thread. It doesn't matter if I'm twice franz's age, I'm still going to outlive him (is he the youngest here?). I'm going to get the thread kill even if I have to do it on my own deathbed! :-p

Ughh I did not like playing ping-pong in gym. I was very good and aggressive when it came to sports, but I was terrible at ping pong, which pissed me off lol
Hey dex, Moonbear and mattmns needs help with their Ping Pong skills. :smile: Why don't you take them to another thread and give them some pointers? o:)

Oh, no, there's no reason we can't play ping-pong right here. I miss the table so often, I don't even need to bother having one!

*pong...kerthunk* Oops, sorry there Artman, you might want to put some ice on that eye. You really should wear safety glasses when I'm playing ping-pong.
 
  • #438
It never was.It's Tribdog's kid,remember...?:-pHe attempted to kill it (patricide :confused:),but he failed...:devil:

And definitely will not be...

Get used to LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSING...:-p

Daniel.

I started watching the thread, studying it, when it first started. It has certain patterns. There are others around it sometimes, but not always. I know when it is alone, when it is helpless.

Other people talk about killing the thread. I begin to see the thread dead. My breathing gets faster because I realize I want it dead too, but I also realize that I want to kill it. It's mine. They don't know it, but it is mine. My sweet innocent, soon to be dead thread. Dead thread! Ha, ha, ha! Rolls right off the tongue, doesn't it? How would any of you know! You keep bringing it back to life after I have killed it!

Creepy huh. Bet you're all too scared to stick around now. :devil:
 
  • #440
Of course I hope you all realize that the only way to win here is to gain a silent victory. You can't be acknowledged for the win, nor can you brag about your win, or else it will remind others the thread exists and they will resume posting. Can your egos handle a win nobody notices? If not, give up now, winning would be far too depressing.

We've reached the point of no return.And yes,i would start a new thread in which people would pay hommage to me and acknowledge me as the SUPREME BEING WHO SLAYED THE THREAD... :cool:

And I would kill that thread,too... :devil:

What thread?

Extensive statistical analysis shows that the average lifespan of a thread such as this under these conditions is 7,204 posts.

This question will be asked sooner or later, but statistics can't go long on this forum without knowing the source of the statistics. Anyways, I am curious... how did these analysts get to this rather odd figure? Mathematical model?
 
  • #444
Bartholomew said:
I attempted to contact the statisticians who performed the analysis, but I must have lost the pin they were dancing on in a haystack.

LOL! Don't you know the only way to find a needle in a haystack is to take your shoes off and walk through the haystack? Guaranteed you'll find it on your first pass through! :smile:

Unless, of course, you don't care which needle. Then you just reach in a grab one. :biggrin:

when someone does kill this thread and it comes time to award the trophy does it get awarded in this thread? and if it does, does that make the trophy invalid? it's one of those Catch 22 of Schrodinger's Cats paradoxy thingies.
 
  • #448
Nope,not in this thread.If you had bothered reding the 100 posts u've been missing,you'd have noticed my suggestion:the winner creates a thread especially for other members to pay hommage to him and then,he would get to kill that thread too.

Daniel.
