Yet Another Kill This Thread!
The following rules were established by Kent at the start of the first 24-hour version, adapted from the original rules by EDE:
The rules:
1. The Basic Idea: Post to this thread, if no one posts after you for 24 hours, you win!
2. Posts that are not direct responses to one of the five preceding posts are ineligible to win. The topic can drift, but no complete non-sequitors. Posts that are responses to non-sequitors are also ineligible to win. Posts that are responses to responses to non-sequitors, and responses to those posts, etc., become eligible, however.
3. In the event that this thread is locked, there shall be no winner unless a new thread is started for the contest. Furthermore, any post that results in the banning of the poster shall also be ineligible to win.
4. So, more precisely, one wins if one makes a post, and then no one makes another post that's eligible to win for 24 hours.
Okay, time to kill!

Wow! Do these usually end like the last one did--with no one realizing someone had won and going on as normal until someone notices? I wonder if some of these should have either ended sooner, or in the case of the no-winner threads, might there have been a winner but no one ever noticed?
I think the board's current post time format makes it more difficult to see.
I won mine fair and square.
I remember that threads X to XII ended by getting to 2000 posts with out anyone winning. Players were very competitive then
We should cooperate and not post for 36 hours from right now.
Oops, I was late! Okay, now I'll start!
Ooh! Hate to break this up, but I had a news flash to share!
Oh, darn, I forgot what it was.....
I suppose we can start again....now!
Gee, thanks for thinking of sharing the news with us!
I prefer....Alternate Facts!
Here's one for you. I've won all of these "Kill This Thread" threads
QUis is a thread mass-murderer
No bodies to have to hide
Quis is a practical mass murderer!
My partner is in the musical "Jack the Ripper!" as a reporter.
John Ritter played Jack Tripper on the old sitcom "Three's Company".
Two's company, three's a crowd. What's four and five? Nine.
Don't get me started about six being scared of seven.....
I saw a Tweet somewhere about seven eating nine, because we are supposed to have three square meals a day.
Very few of my meals are square. Or resembling any other geometric shape, really.
Yeah. Most of my meals nowadays are just thrown together in a bowl
The sport called "bowling" seems to have nothing to do with bowls.
Maybe they realized that bowls don't roll very well.
Wonder if anyone's ever had a bowel movement the size and shape of a bowling ball?
OUCH!
I guess an elephant could have that...
I'll bet that'd be one elephant who would never forget.
One elephant who wouldn't want to repeat, either.
I dunno. I figure bowling ball-size turds are average or even below average for a full-grown elephant. I'm not an elephantologist or anything, though.
Are you saying size matters?
It depends. Can something else compensate for the size?
I suppose a gigantic penis could!
The new Star Trek has me SO excited!
I think you buried the lead there, Andy!
Now I understand why Andy is so excited
I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it
I'm about to lose control and I think I like it
I think he is looking forward to first contact.
And it's through the uprights!
Are two holes better than one?
Looks like this thread is going down the rabbit hole.
At the bottom of the hole, there is a tea party. Happy unbirthday!
`You might just as well say,' added the Dormouse, who seemed to be talking in his sleep, `that "I breathe when I sleep" is the same thing as "I sleep when I breathe"!'
I too sleep on my side of the bed. The other side has someone else in it.
Ooh! Are we supposed to guess who's on the other side? Is it Chaaro?
I sleep in a twin size bed
And how are the twins doing?
They have to share half the space.
If one twin is evil, sharing may be a problem.
Depends on whether evil twin hates good twin
At the very least. they usually seem pitted against one another.
Peaches come from a can/They were put there by a man
Lump sat alone in a boggy marsh,
totally emotionless except for her heart
Mud flowed up into lump's pajamas
she totally confused all the passing pihranas
Are facts really "fun"? I mean a fact is just a fact, right?
Some people find facts fun.
Yeah! People who aren't out dancing at a club or tightrope walking across the Grand Canyon or jumping a shark tank on a motorcycle.
I actually don't know many people who jump shark tanks on motorcycles. You know in rereading that sentence, I am not sure if I am talking about a person on a motorcycle jumping a shark tank or if the shark tank is on a motorcycle.
Sharks are almost as played out as vampires and zombies.
(Except for our own Shark Lad, of course.)
So, are you saying that sharks have jumped the shark?
More like the jump has become a slump.
Sharks can very well jump over their own kind if they want.
I give that shark jump a 9.0. (The Russian judges give it a 4.7.
)
Bah, such bias from the other judges!
I like Judge Cassandra Anderson a lot more than I like Judge Joe Dredd.
I haven't met any judges in real life yet
Judge Judy says "Don't piss on my leg and then tell me that it's raining."
I've met a few judges at the legal get-togethers mr_cleome goes to. Also, one of my best friends in art school had a dad who was a retired judge. Haven't seen either of them in years, though.
I have met a couple of lawyers here at business school. I also have a few friends studying law back home.
My favorite lawyer joke:
What's the difference between a catfish and a lawyer?
One is a scum sucking bottom feeder. The other is a fish.
Cheri Oteri on Saturday Night Live as Judge Judy says: "Don't give me rabbit poop and tell me it's chocolate!"
I didn't really like Steve Martin, but I liked one of his opening monologues on SNL.
In life you need to establish easily achievable goals that can build upon each other.
So, I plan to become master of all space and time. Then I'll go to Europe.
If I were master of space and time, I would do a lot more traveling than I do now.
Would we have to start calling you "The Doctor"?
Can you call me "Your Highness" instead?
I believe I can fly... I believe I can touch the sky...
I'm doing it! I'm doing it! wheee!
Oh IB too close to the sun! Wax wings! Now I really do know what it sounds like When Doves Cry!
From a soaring eagle to a lame duck
Peking duck is a tasty dish
I love the sauce that goes with it. Sweet and thick.
Is that what they call "duck sauce", or is it actually something else?
American-Chinese restaurant "Duck sauce" is orange-colored and tastes mainly of sugar, with a vague undertone of fruit. Its consistency is almost as thick as jam.
Hoisin's definitely a different, er... animal.
All this sauce is confusing! I guess I'll just settle for a splash of awesomesauce!
Ah, that we don't have. I bet it tastes great with duck too though!
Don't get saucy with me, Bearnaise!
You're so spicy. and a little bit salty.
Ginger Spice
Baby Spice
Sporty Spice
Posh Spice
Scary Spice
Me, I'm Big Spice
Shoot, that leaves Old Spice for me.
The Man Your Man Could Smell Like
And look like, with a strict diet and exercise regime
They are of proportionately large importance in the gay world
I think that is true for young people, gay or straight
Well, I don't disagree.
that is why I prefer guys my age or older. they tend to be more mature, less shallow, more open and more appreciative of qualities other than looks.
After all, one can drown in the shallows, too!
Water and asshole guys. Both can be equally treacherous.
The Straits of Magellan are considered treacherous.
Magellan could be considered treacherous by some. His battle with the natives of Cebu is one of the lessons I remember most from Philippine history class.
And Magellan was not the first person to sail around the world. He died in the Philippines. only 18 men survived the trip.

Of course, his death didn't stop the Philippines from becoming a Spanish colony for almost 400 years...
And then the US tried to take over
It never occurred to me until this moment: Were the Philippines named after a guy named Phillip?
Indeed it was! Philip II of Spain.
And Massachusetts was named for a guy whose name started with M and had a big ass.
And Mississippi was named for an old wife who could not stop peeing.
Virginia is for lovers because Maryland has crabs!
And as everyone knows, Iceland as just one big iceberg!
South Carolina is a bottom!
Colorado and Wyoming are such big squares!
Wyoming - Why O Ming? Questioning a Chinese emperor
And Florida is full of flowers.
"Flower" was a great name for a skunk!
Pepe Le Pew is a very dense skunk.
Or that cat is one sexy feline.
I heard she is a real cougar.
She was flirting with Batman to get to Robin.
Have you not seen his butt?
Smoking hot, but no tobacco
Don't touch his butt, Quis. You might get burned.
Well, a butt was mentioned. The only natural conclusion is to assume tobacco use, right?
This proves that Paladin is straight.
Or he likes other body parts better.
Which parts would those be?
What parts do you like best, Lardy?
Well, in the movie "Pearl Harbor", I liked the war parts, but the rest of it was utter dreck!
Um, what were we talking about again?
Pearl Harbor sounds like a good one to talk about.
I watched it, but I barely remember any of it!
Spoiler alert
The allies win World War II
I wish I could resist spoiler boxes! Now, I know the ending....
If you have a time machine, you could go back in time, step on a butterfly, and change the outcome.
Just stay away from your grandfather.
Marty McFly had a lot of damage control to do after meeting his mom and dad in the past!
I wonder if his parents ever began wondering why their son looked so much like that kid they knew years ago.
Actually Marty looked nothing like that kid. His parents just had a bunch of plastic surgery done on young Marty.
They must have been really grateful.
Or they both still had the hots for him.
Very possible, very possible.
My nasty mind side likes to think so
Should I call you "Ms. Jackson", Quis?
No. I should call all you that as I am the nasty boy
So nasty boys call other people Ms. Jackson.
Something else else seems not right here.
Nasty boys don't mean a thing
Lots of charming boys are meaningless nasty boys
I wonder what the boys in the back room are having.
I don't think it is anything good.
Shouldn't we taste it first before saying it isn't good?
I suppose you could hire someone to taste it for you.
That person would probably demand a very high salary, as well as a generous health insurance and death benefits package.
But isn't it worth not being poisoned or tasting something truly horrible?
Apparently, if one person tastes something bad, they want another person to taste it, too. At least, that's according to the commercial with the raccoons.
We like sharing bad things too!
I did have one woman drink something and then say "This is horrible. Try it." I didn't.
Wise Potato Chips is a regional brand. They have an owl as part of their logo
I love Wise Potato Chips.
I allowed myself a bag of them recently, after my doctor gave me the good news that my last blood test shows I am no longer borderline-diabetic.
Congrats on the diagnosis.
I went against what I am supposed to be doing for my CHF today and had me a large Dunkin Donuts Strawberry Coolada (without the whipped cream - I did have a little restraint) because it feels hot as Hades outside.
Thank you, J-Pops.
And please don't be too hard on yourself, we've all gotta indulge ourselves a bit from time to time, in my opinion.
"Whipped Cream and Other Delights" was an album by Herb Alpert, who did an instrumental in the early 80s that I really love, and yet I can never remember what it's called. "Route __ (?)" Or something like that?
Thanks for the video, J-Pops. You're a peach!
I love peaches. My favorite fruit. Strawberries are a close second.
peaches are meh for me. Apples for me.
The Apple Jacks jingle from the mid-1980s was a real ear-worm.
There are many jingles I want to forget.
I've got spurs that jingle, jangel, jingle
As I go riding merrily along
And they sing, oh, ain't you glad you're single?
And that song ain't so very far from wrong
Jingle bells, Batman smells,
Robin laid an egg,
The batmobile lost its wheel
And the Joker got away, hey!
Sometimes we would sing this:
Happy Birthday to You
You live in a zoo
You look like a monkey
And you smell like one too.
Sometimes when I'm feeling silly, I continue the birthday song with "And how old are you now? How old are you now?"
I heard my first Christmas carol of the year walking home through a mall today.
Jingle Bells was written here in Medford, MA. We have a plaque and everything to commemorate this.
Daffy Duck sang a sarcastic, half-hearted version of "Jingle Bells" in Chuck Jones's classic cartoon-short "Duck Amuck."
"Dashing through the th'now
Ya-ha-ha-ha-ha
O'er the field'th we go
Laughing all...the...way..."
I prefer the earlier crazy Daffy to the latter greedy Daffy
I do too, Quis, but "Duck Amuck" is one of the few Chuck Jones Daffy cartoons from the 50s that still holds up today, in my opinion.
No, as far as I'm concerned, Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies peaked around 1946-1947.
"Duck Amuck" is a classic.
Does a duck who drive a truck wanna climb the ladder and become a top mucky-muck? Well, I wish him luck.
And for another rhyme, I confess I'm stuck.
I'm a poet and I don't know it.
Although I can rhyme anytime.
I keep thinking about a couple of spoken word LPs of poetry we played to death when we were kids. I saw one volume for sale on discogs and I really want it. Fragments of those verses have lived in my head for decades, but it'd be nice to hear the intact versions again.
I loved nursery rhymes when I was a kid. memorized so many of them too.
I supposedly have a name that cannot be rhymed. But I think "panther pee" works pretty well!
That's a pretty interesting rhyme...!
I supposedly have a name that cannot be rhymed. But I think "panther pee" works pretty well!
"And so he" works well too
I supposedly have a name that cannot be rhymed. But I think "panther pee" works pretty well!
"And so he" works well too
As does "HA HO HEE HEE"
When I was a child, many years ago, a kid named Dave Rose and I both hated when we would have to play "Ring Around the Rosie".
When I was a child, we would play a game called Relievio which was team hide-and-go-seek. An area was marked as the jail and captured members (you had to be tagged, not just spotted to be caught) were placed there. However, if an uncaptured member tagged the captured members, they were freed and could hide again. I would do this. I would hide near the jail and as the other team scattered to find my team, I would go to the jail. After most of my teammates were captured, I would tell them that I had not been captured yet and free them all.
I used to play games like that. I prefered hide and seek type games to purely physically ones like tag because I was a terribly unathletic child - on land. I did pretty well in water though.
When I was a child, many years ago, a kid named Dave Rose and I both hated when we would have to play "Ring Around the Rosie".
Aw, we know you're not in anyone's pocket.
But did he have the plague?
But I never had to worry about Cooties!
I loved that game.
I never had to worry about cooties either. I think we had a different slang term for them growing up, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was.
For a while I thought "lousy" just meant bad. But it also means that you have lice (singular "louse")
My maternal grandfather would call ice cream "lousy cream." I never understood why, but he said it in such a funny way, I didn't mind.
In the Philippines, ice cream sold at little carts on the street is called "dirty ice cream". but it's oh so good - we would usually get chocolate, ube and cheese flavors - and I never got sick from it
When I was a child and sick, my mom would make chicken noodle soup for me and I got lay on the couch while eating it and watching TV
I used to have ginger tea when I was sick.
My stepfather would give us Chinese mustard when we had head colds. That cleared the sinuses right up.
Ooh, that's a pretty strong condiment
My father grew his own horseradish. Once when he was chopping it up in a blender, I took a smell right after. My nose was on fire.
I have had my nose broken three times.
Once should hopefully be enough.
11/17/67 Evel Knievel tried to jump the fountain at Caesars Palace and he had a dramatic crash landing. As a result of the crash, Knievel suffered a crushed pelvis and femur, fractures to his hip, wrist, and both ankles, and a concussion that kept him in the hospital.
Evel Knievel was just his stage name. His legal name was Robert Craig "Bob" Knievel Jr.
Perhaps you would like another name better
Lord Master would suit me.
Who gave you permission to comment?
Ooh-WEE! Looks like we got some S&M action goin' on here!
EEK! We have an audience?!
Where's the stripper pole?
Who said you could watch? This is a private show for Chris Evans
But... but... Chris wanted me along!
You can sit on his lap another time.
Chris Evans is Santa?
He gives me lots of nice gifts.
Only... he asks me not to tell people what these gifts are...
I can’t believe you said that!
You need to have your eyes checked then.
I don't think having check marks tattooed on my eyes would help
I think it would be amusing to have eyes tattooed on eyelids--but it would probably HURT!
That would also make for some awkward naps.
Unless you had eyeballs tattooed to your eyelids
It's the amount of pain that people think they'll endure when getting eyes and eyelids tattooed on their heads, that's stopping the Eyeful Ethel Tribute Society from really taking off.
What a waste of that giant statue of hers in the 5YL reality.
Could we repurpose the statue for another use?
I could use some target practice...
*clutches pearls* don’t break any windows!
Here, have some of my medicinal sherry
Oh damn! It's the Bucket woman!
It is spelled B-U-C-K-E-T, but pronounce "bouquet"
The sisters are Hyacinth, Daisy, Violet and Rose.
Violet. She's the one with the Mercedes, swimming pool, and room for a pony.
Like our Legionnaire. No doubt Salu could afford all that. well, if Mercedes still exist in the 30th century... and so do ponies
Oh it's my son Sheridan. He's at University. Oh Sheridan how ar.. What? You need some money? To buy some matching silk pajamas for you and your roommate. Of course dear.
Violet I think it's great your husband is going to be in Snow White. What do you mean he wants to be Snow White? He's up in a tree and will not come down until he gets to be Snow White...Elizabeth family crisis, they cannot do anything without me. I'm sure you understand if we have coffee later. Mind the China dear.
It's time for Violet's husband to be his true self.
Elizabeth always gets a mug.
That's because Elisabeth breaks the Royal Doulton handpainted periwinkle!
She is fine with everyone else, just not Hyacinth
But Hyacinth needs to sing in The Boyfriend with Emment after she looks for ancient Iron Age mounds and depressions with Richard.
Iron is said to disrupt magic and hurt ghosts
I think Invisible Brainiac wants to change the topic of the thread away from Hyacinth Bucket and Keeping Up Appearances.
I thrive on change! Why, when I was with the Legion, I changed costumes more times than anyone else - Kinetix
Change is not inevitable.
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-Changes
Don't want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-Changes
Just gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
I hated when they changed actresses for Rose.
So in this case a rose by any other actress would not smell as sweet.
Perhaps scents would be a good way to identify people
So would we then greet people by sniffing their butts like dogs do?
I know someone who would be delighted to do that
Some tastes are very unique
People say that various unusual meats "taste like chicken". So when I eat chicken I say "Tastes like rattlesnake!"
So is it chicken or is it tuna? Thank you Jessica Simpson.
One day we will probably engineer something that is both
Guess that will not say "Non-GMO".
Why did the policeman give me a ticket? The sign said "Fine for Speeding"
I pahked the cah in Hahvahd Yahd. That was after I banged a Uie to get to the package store.
My father hated "wicked" especially wicked good.
Sorry I was busy eating my chowdah.
You did not have chowdah or even chowder
No, it was I who had the chowder!
And the Hangover Sandwich. Even though you did not have a hangover.
I did have a sweet tooth, and the maple syrup in the sandwich helped with that!
But adding the sugar to the Diet Pepsi...
...was kinda defeating the purpose, dontchathink?
BTW, I'm still wondering what this is:
That was after I banged a Uie to get to the package store.
Sounds....vaguely sexual?
Also, BTW....can anyone tell if I might actually have won this thread with my last post?!?!
Banged a Uie is a Mass term for making a uturn and a package store is for liquor (so yeah, it might lead to sex).
The package store part, I understood!
Also, BTW....can anyone tell if I might actually have won this thread with my last post?!?!
Hold that thought! I'll try to remember to check it a bit later.
My time stamps show Lardy's post as "Yesterday at 4:54 AM", while Quis' post is "10 hours ago". So it might be, but I don't trust my math skills at the moment!
Paladin's post is at 4:54 am on Oct. 15th
Mine is at 12:51 pm on Oct. 16th
Paladin wins!
