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.

Making his murderous debut - Jfposey!

Thread killers seem to be picking up pace.

I started with string. Threads are harder to kill.

Ah, so it takes practice to make others not practise posting.

That's the real basis of String Theory

My personal String Theory: don't let strings soak for hours around a roast beef as it cooks, and then leave them on the counter. The cat will swallow one of the strings & you'll be charged $2000 to remove it from his gullet-- making for what's probably the most expensive cut of meat in the world.

We had our male dog neutered. He still seems very un-neutered though.

Lodger cat follows Roy Harper in the therapy group as a catnip addict.

Roy switches to catnip addiction. He becomes less violent.

I could use a catnap

Just woke from my catnap in time to see I have a catnap scheduled at this time.

You are over-scheduled

But can one really over achieve one's over-scheduling?

Depends. Are you Duplicate Damsel?

I wonder if the whole board is run by, and for, Duplicate Damsel. We could all be IDs of her various selves.

Who is our Bouncing Boy, then?

Probably me, except not tonight. Stupid meds are really messing with my stomach again.

Hope the meds don't make you too queasy, cleome

Crackers (Saltines), dry toast (no butter) and unsweetened clear drinks are best options.

Mmm... I love saltines even when I'm not feeling crappy.

Much better this morning, thanks. Unfortunately, "gastric distress" is an expected side effect of this stuff, but at least it's not happening ALL the time.

Thanks, Guys.

I prefer the unsalted tops crackers

I am trying to cut down on my salt

I like the little salt sachets that come with salt n shake crisps.

It's Shake-n-Bake and we helped!

Shake-n-bake was a term used to describe the colony in the Aliens movie where they were terraforming. Still a little stunned that Bill Paxton died.

I wonder if Bill ever had dinosaur a la Shake-N-Bake? Bet it don't taste like chicken!

We could be surprised. Chicken can taste like a lot of things.

Whenever I have chicken at a restaurant, I take a bite, then say in a loud voice "MMMMM Tastes just like rattlesnake!"

There's this baked chicken w/a balsamic vinaigrette-mustard marinade that I'm longing to try next week. The co-op doesn't sell chicken, though. So I have to go to the supermarket, and right now I'm too lazy.

I'll be joining the procrastination society - later

I will get back to reading Quis' latest post tomorrow.

I will finish this post in anoth

People tend to find my put-off tendencies off-putting.

I think I was put-off by that but I will decide if I was another time.

er post. I managed to put that off for 3 hours

I have been putting many things off.

What other things have you "put" off? I bet you have no tan lines then.

Er... Blaze is the only one who can answer that.

"What's My Tan Line?" Game shows for our time.

Whose in charge of the theme song?

Can't we all contribute to it?

Will the theme song have lyrics?

Will we have to sing the theme song?

Have we confused this thread with the answer questions with questions thread?

Can't we kill this thread with questions?

Hmmm... perhaps not.

We could try killing it with... Answers!


... Gas Mark 3 for 25 minutes.

I was looking at new gas ranges at the appliance store yesterday.

Everything's chrome now. Also, one line of ranges had X-shaped stove-top grates for you fans of the Food Network's Cooking The Mutant Way With Alex Summers.

I know of a convention oven but never heard of a concussive force oven.

Concussive force is more for cracking open coconuts without having to look around for a hammer.

I don't particularly like coconuts. I prefer mangoes and pineapple.

So the song is wrong and you do not have a lovely pair of coconuts. Just a headdress like Carmen Miranda.

some people say my coconuts are nice

Sometimes you feel like a nut
Sometimes you don't
Almond Joy's got nuts
Mounds don't

Almond Joy's got rich milk chocolate
Coconut and honey nuts too
Mounds got deep dark chocolate
Chewey coconut ooh

mmmm, honey. good for soothing the throat

I'll be lucky if I'm not completely nuts after this interview I have in a couple of hours.

They would be fools not to hire you cleome

[bows]

Let's all keep telling ourselves that, Sir. Real world be damned.

This recruiter specializes in IT stuff, apparently. Not sure why they contacted me, since I've never worked that kind of post before. Maybe it's a customer service thing or (more likely) they just need to compile more data to look busy.

Regardless of the post, they can't do better than you Cleome. Only their low intelligence and serious mental flaws could possibly blind them to this patently obvious fact. I don't use the word "patently" lightly. You've been registered as the ideal interviewee at the patent office. All the very best Cleome!

I am not sure if one could patent light, even for Cleome.

cleome is better than light. i should know.

What if I have irrefutable proof that I invented light?

Can I verify that with Kronos?

But did anyone register their invention of light? That's what *really* counts.

light was likely invented by a cosmic being. do they need to register?

I did mail a letter to myself describing my inventing light. That's the poor man's copyright

Could the mail man see to deliver it to you?

it doesn't pay to be selfish with light.

I am of the opinion that there is good selfishness and bad selfishness. The good kind is the old airplane instruction of putting your air mask on before helping a child put their on. The bad kind is taking food away from hungry kids when you aren't hungry

Selfishness when hungry is overindulgence.

Gluttony!

Sloth!

Envy!

a few of the seven deadly enemies of mankind. According to Shazam. (the old wizard, not Captain Marvel)

i wonder which one has killed the most.

J'accuse you IB with 5! Cleome isn't the next worse killer.

Will Ibby evade the LW authorities? Will he prove that it was all a stitch up by accuser JPops? No for it is true. Ibby is Threadkiller! Coming soon to LWTV!

I was talking about the deadly sins. Nice segue, though, guys. Bringing up my wrongdoings to hide yours...

Ah, so you admit to wrongdoings. We have a confession!

Well, it is well-documented that I have killed many threads...

That is not a crime.

i'm safe!

That's a call for the umpire to make.

I call for delicious breakfast pastries, fresh coffee, and maybe a string quartet to play some Haydn.
