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.

At least by pulling that muscle trying to lick my elbow, I learned not to try this one. :smile:
Yeah, I've learned it's just no use to try and lick some of my own body parts myself. :rolleyes: You know...like elbows. :redface:

I have always pronounced "aunt" ahnt, not ont or ant.

"ont" is a New England pronunciation
Okay... if it's really a dialect and not an affectation, I apologize to New Englanders. I always saw it as some fake-Harvardesque snootiness, like those stupid little shirts with alligators on them.

After multiple Q-tips are lost, they will eventually line up and begin to exit the other side. :bugeye: It a tricky maneuver, but not unlike cleaning a gun barrel.
I'll defer to your professional medical opinion on this. I figured that they'd just fall into the bottom of her skull and start piling up until there was enough cotton in there for mice to nest in.

I spell it hampster all the time, then correct it.
Wouldn't it be more efficient to just spell it correctly the first time? :confused:

Well, for the snooty Hahvahd boys who didn't grow up in New England, it probably is an affectation. If they're pronouncing it "ahhhhhnt" it's probably an affectation.

Though, I guess I'd rather have a dialect people consider snooty rather than one that makes them think I'm a dumb hick. :rolleyes:

That's what I was talking about.

That's why they like nice absorbent stuff to live in; it keeps them fresh and dry and they don't slip all over the place when they walk in their sleep.

That's nice, and even with all those Q-Tips in there, there is plenty of open space for them to spread out and just wander around. :smile:

It will probably be embarrassing being beaten up by a good looking woman...


doesn't sound too bad though does it? :-p

How do bosses always know the precise right moment to walk in and interrupt your goofing off? :smile:

What do you mean you're still here?! The sheep are going to be very maaaaaad that you've been keeping them waiting. :-p

FRAP!

I just got my replacement laptop and some of my stuff is missing and it better be replaced. :devil: Grrrrr Not to mention I have to get used to a different computer.

Oh, and a helpful hint... do NOT pour hot coffee with amaretto creamer into your laptop. Something about liquid and electricity... Ungrateful computer, it was GOOD COFFEE! :mad:

We appreciate it was good coffee.

Electricity just doesn't have the capacity to enjoy it. I fear to say that electricity will not get charged up about it. It would rather Drain Coal than take coffee.

Uh, yeah, I find that computers are far too unappreciative of coffee. Just because they don't need coffee to get started in the morning doesn't mean they have to cough and sputter and get all stubborn if I try to feed them some. I might not need coffee either if someone could just plug me into recharge me. :wink:

Sure sounds better than sheep. :-p I mean, Whatever are you talking about, Moonbear?

Gotta run. Time to head home. Yeah!

Well, I was referring to my laptop -- plug it in and it gets recharged. o:)

Hey, now this is more like it.

I spell one word wrong and Special Agent Danger from the Canadian Spelling Police jumps all over it. :smile: If I knew it was that easy, I would be spelling words wrong all the time. Look around, I do it all the time. Sometimes even on purpose to create another meaning or draw attention to a particular part of a sentence. Sometimes I'm just too lazy to correct myself.

Artman, I don't know much about sheep, but if you hang out around New Zealanders and Australians for any length of time then you'll hear sheep jokes flying all over the place.

Was that The Bob?

Yep, another hit and run. Speaking of which... :cool:

It's always funny when someone who almost never posts here just pops in and makes a quick post. I'm so used to seeing the same names in this thread that It surprises me when I see a new one. I forget sometimes that other people are actually reading all this great nonsense.

Yeah you, you know who you are! :biggrin:

This is the place where all threads will eventually meet. Might as well stay here. Pull up a chair and have a dry apple martini. Plenty of room in the RV. And nobody will tell you to wait half an hour before swimming in the pool.

We really need to put in an alarm system, or set up some sort of nets to catch these hit and run posters.

[ :rolleyes: shakes in her boots... :rolleyes: ]
I was in Saigon last year wandering around the back streets totally lost and saw this war vet in full uniform and he said that to me, it made me laugh for ages. I'd been trying so hard not to constantly pretend I was in a naam war movie and then a soldier says 'fresh meat' to me in a mid-american drawl. :-p

Now, if you could just slip on this sheep suit...

:rolleyes: No, it's okay, everyone wears them here. :rolleyes:

I suppose it's time to warn her about Danger's velcro gloves then?

If you ask real nice he might let you borrow them.

Aww, I wanted to wear my cowgirl outfit. Wool makes me itchy, do you have any savlon?

"ahnt."

That says it either rhymes with the a in "father" or in "pat." Notice there were two acceptable pronunciations there. To me, "father" rhymes with "bother," so I'm not sure how you differentiate the sound of "ahnt" and "ont." I think it's just two different ways of trying to spell the same sound. I can't type diacritical marks here, so have to resort to the best I can in explaining pronunciation without them.
