Thread Killers

Thought it might be fun to make a list of things that render an active, fun-loving thread... well, Dead.

I was reading the other day and I saw for the ka-zillionth time or so where some well meaning newbie jumped into a lively discussion to ask the question. You know the one... "What is a PB?"

Don't get me wrong, I am sure I did it too. Well maybe, I sure hope not.

What can someone post that will make you shut it down and walk away?

Frogs are my fave animal...but I do like frog legs and yes they do taste like chicken. :cursing:

And here I thought I was the thread killer (I just noticed a lot of non-active threads have me as the last poster. Kinda like I speak and the crowd drifts away).

Frogs... reads like CHEESE!

Only a few of you will get that. You can tell I'm an oldie at LBT - most of my cheesy comrades have gone by the wayside.

plain: it reminds me of that lovely girl who wanted to be like Snow White... but she drifted.

Here's mine... *gets into character*:

i had surgery one month ago now everytime i eat my eyes and ears and butt and fingers bleed this only happens when i eat and then i go puke it all back up and i puke up blood and some chunks of body tissue and something that looks like gray spaghetti oh and one time a sock but that was just a week after surgery so i figured the surgeon musta left it in there and one time i peed and it was bloody and had hair in it and something that looked like a lego... and then usually after i poo or pee i pass out but i always regain consciousness within like 4 hours or so im never unconscious for more than 4 hours but when i wake up usually im blind for a few more hours and i cant feel my fingers or toes and im kind of dizzy and cant walk for a few days but after maybe a week or two i feel back to normal and the bleeding stops does anyone else have these symptoms? what is it? should i take pepto bismol?

What kills a thread for me is total absence of common sense. I have no problem meeting someone halfway, hell - I'll even go 70%, but come on - you have to show you're at least trying.

I seem to kill threads...

OMG Wheetsin, ya made me wet my pants. :cursing: What gets me is usually the next thing after a post like that, is "Should I call my doc?" NOOOOO just wait till ya throw up the kitchen sink. THEN call yer doc. Geez some people. .........still laughing hysterically.

Well I have all those symptoms too and I gotta axe ya, do yer hands puff up like water balloons too???

Thanks Nancy. Yes, cheese binds and after my surgery that's what the doctor ordered (seriously). Fortunately it worked. Then he recommended lots and lots of water.

All this reminds me of the time I went to a space shuttle launch in Cocoa Beach and we were at the VIP viewing area which was outside and I had to go pee and they had portapotties so I went in one and locked the door and put the paper on the seat, pulled down my gear and peed for all I wuz worth and midstream what happened you say? well a tree frog (of which I had never encountered before) jumped on my upper thigh and I was screaming and hollering and trying not to pee myself and trying to get the little bugger off me, which wasn't happening so when I finally finished I dried myself and stood up, still screaming and hollering, and had to pull he damned thing off and my daughter and friends were all crowded around the portapotty yelling "are you all right???!!!" and I came out, thoroughly disheveled and horribly red and embarrassed and told them what happened. My first encounter with a tree frog in Florida. I think I burned some calories during the process.

LOL, I am glad I found this dead thread and brought it back to life.

If that had been me....it would have started as a pee break, but then turned into something else entirely!!

Aww a froggy jumped out of the poopy/pee water onto you!

That's not it, Plain. Rather we are in awe of your wisdom and believe that 'the truth has been spoken'. No further words are necessary.:wink2:
