Thread Killer Champions: Franzbear & Moonbear

    Thread
In summary, Franzbear is the most prolific thread killer in the forum. He has killed at least 12 threads and is likely responsible for 21 more. His ability to kill threads is not a direct outcome of the evidence (number of last posts). You have to at least factor in the total number of posts by each person (posts in GD) to get a more accurate representation of the killer instinct. Franz and Moonie have so many posts here, they are more likely to be the winning killers. You have to divide the number of kills by the total number of posts during the same period to get a corrected distribution.

Okay, I spent an hour thinking about people on LSD. Then they all turned to me and said, "Dude, quit crashin' our party, man." I thought it would be best to leave then, but I enjoyed the fresh sushi and wasabe while I was there. Man, that stuff is spicy!

I wonder how many people from this forum are on LSD? Danger? MOONBEAR...?

Mmmmmm...sushi! Mmmmmmmm...wasabi! :approve: It's hard to get good sushi in the middle of the country. Have to get to one of the coasts.

Why would anyone eat raw meat?

OMG! Thanks a lot yomamma. Now I'm starving.

The only problem I have with sushi is that it is so damn expensive and not very filling. I feel like I'm eating my wallet, and even wasabe can't cleanse that from my palate.

That picture is like a dream.

Make that for two! Yummmyyyyy! Yomamma, you should give it a try. But if you do, go to a place with a good reputation. If you don't like it, don't have it again, but it never hurts to try new things. You can also get something like a California roll that has cooked crabmeat in it along with cucumber and avocado...it's a good place for those not brave enough to try raw fish to start and just see if the general idea is something palatable to you.

My favorite is sashimi. If I go out for sushi, I do a whole meal. Some miso soup, then sushi and maybe a salad of some sort, a little tempura on the side, and then a nice cold saki with dessert. :approve:

And I haven't even eaten dinner yet.

I don't like crab meat. Just about any kind of fish is great. I don't mind octopus, but it is a little chewy. But for some reason I never met a crustacean that I liked to eat.

I don't know the names of all of those sushi things. I just point and grunt and they put it on a plate for me. My elbows dance all over the table and and I can't sit still for a minute. I always chew with my mouth closed though. I guess that's something.

Time to eat for me. Burgers, which is what I usually get to fill up the corners after every time I've had sushi.

I'm pretty sure that we're all sufficiently zoned without chemical assistance.

Enough with the sushi, already! I'm trying to eat here...

Mmm...I like crustaceans! I just avoid oysters, those don't count. And I don't seem to need any added aphrodesiacs...I'm convinced the only reason they got that reputation is because if you'll put one of those in your mouth, you'll put anything in your mouth!

I usually have to find the translated menu, and I slowly learn what I like in Japanese. Very little on the menu I won't eat, so no big deal if I order the wrong thing. Oh, yeah, the octopus is usually too chewy for me too. Tastes good, but hard to eat.

:smile: Something tells me I just have to see this in person!

Agh! Burgers after sushi?! That ruins it! I actually can fill up pretty well on sushi. If not, then ice cream for dessert does the job.

Where did the "thread killing" veer so far off topic?

It's not off-topic. I'm still determined to kill it. Just don't think I'm going to late any of you Johnny-come-lately folks get the credit for the thread kill!

I was the first to use the term "johnny-come-lately" in this thread.

Its like george bush, everyone wants to kill him, but everyone wants to be the one to do it, so they foil everyone else's plans :-p

So, basically, you're a johnny-come-lately in the game of calling people johnny-come-latelies. :smile:

Like Moonbear said, there are a lot of maki rolls and nigiri (the small rice mound topped with whatever) that aren't raw fish. Cucumber, asparagus, egg, gourd aresome vegetarian options and several cooked fish/shellfish types like surf clam, shrimp and barbequed eel (my favorite). There is a local place that really gets crazy and does rolls with raspberry, jalapenos and cream cheese amoung others, excellent stuff. The best I had was out in San Francisco, I ordered ama ebi, sweet shrimp, and they brought out the expected nigiri which was great, then as we were working through some other sushi the waitress brings out the rest of the shrimp. The heads, complete with antennae, eyes and all were lightly battered and deep fried until very crisp. :bugeye: They were awesome, like shrimpx10, mmmm...tasty. :-p

I don't remember trying oysters but I tried clams before. As far as things with shells go they weren't that bad. The ones I had had :confused: some gritty bits in them that I didn't appreciate very much.

Maybe at the next PF assembly. I hope I get my invitation to this years Holloween party. :biggrin:

Did you know that the world record eating champion is a Japanese guy that weighs like 150 pounds? All that elbow dancing and butt fidgeting burns a lot of calories. I could probably eat that guy after he finished winning his title.

I found this joke on their site! :smile: :smile:

Nervous Taxi Driver

A passenger in a taxi leaned over to ask the driver a question and tapped him on the shoulder. The driver screamed, lost control of the cab, nearly hit a bus, drove up over the curb, and stopped just inches from a large plate glass window.

For a few moments everything was silent in the cab, and then the still
shaking driver said, "I'm sorry but you scared the daylights out of me."

The frightened passenger, apologized to the driver, and said he didn't
realize a mere tap on the shoulder could frighten him so much.

The driver replied, "No, no, I'm sorry, it's entirely my fault. Today is my first day driving a cab... I've been driving a hearse for the last 25 years."

This is so funny it is probably true. :smile:

I don't know about elbow dancing, but fidgeting sure seems to burn a lot of calories. :biggrin:

Okay. Well, wait, a direct blow might do some permanent damage. franzbear, hon, hop up on icvotria's head. That's a good thread.

Thunk!

*hands over a bag of frozen broccoli* Don't worry, the swelling goes down in a few days.

Are those birds I here real birds welcoming the dawn, or are they the little yellow chicks flying round Franzbear's head? I hope it's the latter, if the sun comes up again before I tell it it's ok it's going to be in big trouble.

My favorite sleep remedy is to heat up some milk just to the point where it is about to boil. Then I sip on that in a quiet room for a few minutes. I usually add a little bit of sugar, which seems to defeat the purpose, but it works for me. But why would you want to sleep anyway?
Moonbear said:

Not the way I elbow dance. There are times where I'll be swinging from the table by my elbows like a pendulum and screaming "Look at me! Look what I can do."

Mmmmmm... Hot milk and honey, yum yum yum, what a good idea. I have to go to sleep so I can have lots of weird dreams and post them in the sweet dreams thread and have them analysed. And so I don't go crazy from sleep deprivation, I'm already teetering precariously on the edge of sanity...

Darn, I know that feeling! Same thing happened last night (er...this morning?). I was just getting drowsy and lying my head on the pillow, and realized the birds were chirping away and the first sliver of light was showing through the window. If you'd please hold up the sunrise on your end, it would really help me out over here too!

Tonight I'm back to giving melatonin another chance. Increased the dose from 3 to 4.5 mg and I'm starting to yawn already...there might be some hope!

In that case, the best way to get good memorable dreams is to get plenty of sleep. Stay in bed for another hour after you have had enough sleep. That's the best time for dreams. Afternoon naps are pretty good too. Any time were your almost conscious, but not quite.

I know when the sun comes up it might as well hit me with a hammer. My eyes get all squinty and I can't keep them open. Then it's all over for me. If I'm tired the sun always puts me in my coffin, I mean bed.

The sun never listens to me. It's so disobedient, it thinks it rules the world. One day I'll teach it a lesson. My cat's on the window sill making funny noises at the birds. Is it possible that she's trying to copy them? That's just what it sounds like. Is my cat trying to sing like a bird? Please say yes, please say yes, please say yes
