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.

On the Border is cr@p. I hate to tell you this but chimichangas aren't Mexican, they're american, several claims to the first one, but probably from Arizona. Sorry. http://www.azcentral.com/home/food/mexico/articles/0427chimichange27-CR.html

There is quite a difference between real mexican food and what passes for mexican (really southwestern) food in most of America. Things like pozole or turkey legs with red mole or snapper escabeche are excellent examples of mexican food and like any other cuisine it varies considerably from region to region fish; seafood on the coast to beef, pork or goat inland. It's not like the cheese smothered, deep-fried gut bombs you find regularly around here. Look up a chef named Rick Bayless, he's quite well known for his traditional mexican fare.

Also, the best pizzas at home are made on a stone in the hottest oven you can crank out, I go for 500 fahrenheit and let it warm up at least 1/2 hour. Thin crust, not pre-cooked, with not too much toppings. You can also do them outside on a grill, which gives you that wood-fired kinda flavor.

Oh, yeah, somewhere in an old thread, Evo mentioned stepping outside while wearing only her underwear (to grab the newspaper off the porch, or something like that), and the door slammed shut and locked behind her, leaving her outside.
The kind of day a stalker dreams of. :bugeye: :-p (Great photo op) :-p :bugeye: :biggrin:

Oh and Muhahahhaaa! Back with my idea to kill Franzbear later. :devil:

I've got to run a foot sweat assay on some mice in the next few days, plus slice some brains for an in situ hybridization histochemistry method I'm trying to develop.

That's a new one for me...a foot sweat assay? I didn't know mice had sweaty feet! Well, learn something new every day.

The rest of my week sounds pretty similar. I've been working on a cDNA probe for in situ, and if I can get that to work, I'll be combining that with immunocytochemistry. In between doing that, I've got a couple brains to slice as well, and some other immunocytochemistry to run. Oh, and there are always plenty of cells to count (hence the need for coffee; when I get my own lab, the microscope room is going to have to have its own entrance from the corridor so it's not part of the area zoned for radioactive material...I really want to be able to keep a cup of coffee nearby when counting lots of cells!) Let's see, what else? Oh, need to finish up revisions on the manuscript that was accepted, and finish up the last figure I need for another manuscript. The stuff I was working on as pilot data for a grant application hasn't panned out, so that's one less thing that needs to be done. I'm probably forgetting something else. Oh, this isn't really the day's list, it's more the week's list.

Oh, and need to go interrogate some grad students to find out why I didn't see any of them when I was in the lab this weekend. :devil: Classes are over, they should all be in the lab full time now!

:smile: It does make people nervous when you tell them you have to go back to the lab to slice up some brains.

We have some human brain tissue in the lab too, and I always get the inevitable question of "where did it come from?" I like to give answers like it came from annoying students. Or, I tell them I had my assistant Igor run over to the morgue one night... (It's all from brain banks where people arrange to donate post-mortem for research.)

its a really cool assay, anesthetize with avertin, hit them with pilocarpine, a parasympathetic agonist, and watch the sweat pour (its quantified by counting pores formed in a dental amalgum you put on their feet). They also drool like crazy...nurse...suction!

Moonbear said:

Maybe you should try one of those hydration packs that athletes use. You can covertly smuggle it around under your lab coat and pipe that fresh hot coffee right to the bite valve on your lapel. Plus those things hold like 2 liters :bugeye:. Of course you'd need to come up with something for the inevitable bathroom breaks, but I'll leave that up to you. :biggrin:

Cool! What do you use that assay to assess? (If that's too much detail about your experiment to post here, send me a PM.) That approach also sounds like a good way to measure salivary corticosterone! Well, except the anesthesia would probably screw that all up. :smile:

:smile: Bathroom breaks are okay. I need to stand up and stretch once in a while anyway, but it takes too long to drink a cup of coffee, or else it's cold by the time I get back to it. (Oh, yeah, and summer is coming with air-conditioning; that's when I need the hot coffee just to keep my hands warm!)

I'll trade you the binoculars for the night scope. And what the hell do you think this dog suit is, anyhow? You think I like you leading me around on a leash and pretending you're in charge? (Okay, maybe a little...)

She should be able to wear 2 of them, and keep one in reverse.

I'm compiling a list of human female foot sweat donors, if you want in?! Artman, Huckleberry and Danger volunteered as collectors. :-p :bugeye: Well I haven't really asked them, but I'm pretty sure they're on board.
Now, so I can fill out the proper forms, I need to know, what makes you sweaty?

Beats the hell out of me. I didn't know we had any. I've never seen one. Just looked in last year's Calgary phone book—can't find the new one—and there are none listed. (And despite what a lot of Yanks think about little Canadian burgs, Calgary is just short of 1,000,000 people.) I'd expect there to be one here, if anywhere. Maybe it's strictly an eastern thing. :confused:

Danger has a foot aversion, but I'm perfectly willing and able to... I'm up for the job... umm, yeah.

Try crab legs. She loves crab legs. And chocolate. Maybe something spicy.

Just as long as there's no heat rash involved... :-p The bottom of my feet (and palms of my hands) sweat when I watch something involving heights--like the opening scene to Mission Impossible 2.

Crikey! What's been going on in this thread!?

I get the same thing, cold flashy sweats on my palms and feet and they get almost sore or achy. I really don't like heights. :cry:

Bah! You're both amateur acrophobes. Something like the crane shots in Lord of the Rings or the rope bridge in Raiders tweaks my pucker factor up by about 2000%, my 'nads crawl up someplace in my chest, and I can't breathe. :redface:

Flying doesn't bother me at all (although I far prefer it as pilot than passenger). I figured it was safe to watch the 3-D space station movie at the Imax in Vegas because it would all be off the ground. To start with, I had to go in the 'handicapped' section because of the steepness and height of the seating. Then the damned movie started with a crane shot looking down on the space shuttle!

I'm so pissed off because I've killed so many threads.

Some people seem to be able to make the comment that just ruins a conversation. I've gone back to the last 100 or so really dead threads and counted up how many times each person was the one named as the last poster. Here's my list of PFs best thread killers:
franzneitzche-ME
MoonbearStill good
tribdog-Evo-tie-Ivan Seeking and Tsu danger
Honorable mentions go to:kerrie, rahmuss, and jimmysnyder :smile:

It's sad the things we do in the name of science. I'm starting to realize I miss doing radioimmunoassays. There was nothing better to do on a day when you were feeling lazy (or hung over) than writing numbers on 1000 test tubes.

I'm happy today though. I just read in the news that they are going to map the sheep genome! Woo hoo! Seriously, this is the sort of thing that can totally make my day. :biggrin: They better not find any of Danger's or Artman's genes! :-p

I just found a wonderful source for surrealism.

Morality is subjective. Morality is relative to cultures. God is the source of all moral values. I approve of racism. Racism is right. The cannibalism in New Guinea is right. The caste system in India is right. God exists.
