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?

I told you I was peeing hair & legos. I knew that had to be b/c of the damn $20 band.

If you're crafting bands out of innertubes, does that mean I could just blow my way to more restriction?

Umm... that's not what I meant...

Oh no! I'm scared! I just laughed so hard I think I ripped my pouch and my port is probably infected now from all of the stomach vile pumping back into the tube!

Wheetsin, it damn near worked for Monica L... ooooh I get it.

The best part is with the new Dawg-Band System, is if you do get a leak, we just hold you in a bucket of Water and check for bubbles.

It's cost effective! I just need people to sign this twelve thousand page waiver....

3Loves.... my general rule is just to talk out of my ass... that way I don't have to worry what side of my face I spoke out of last... the consistancy confuses people! LOL! :omg:

Hilarious!! That explains the smell on some of the posts!!!

Next time I poop, I'll have to check for legos. Didn't know that was a side effect. Thanks Wheestin. :mad:

*flutters her lashes at Dawg* I think I need a fill.

*big grin at Morsaille*

Since when did you ever have to ask for an adjustment?

Hilarious!! That explains the smell on some of the posts!!!

Awww man, don't kill this thread. It's the best one going!!

Can we purchase insurance so that if the tube needs to be replaced we only pay $12 instead of the full cost for a new one?

If you get your "adjustment" in the tub, you can check for air leak at the same time.

Depends, if chilli is involved, diagnosis may be unclear.

Telly, you dope.. that's the point. Ahahahahaha!

Yes, I know that's the point but some newbies may not know you are joking which is a scary thought.
