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.

Then you wrecked it by posting on yourself? :smile:

I think we should dress Franzbear up like a pumpkin and send him to see one of those pumpkin carving contests.

One of the other grad students wants to take a stack of pumpkins and set it on fire Halloween night. The problem we're having is that there's nothing to hold it up...

Does Franzbear burn?

We found that he does not burn, but he does get singded (Sp?) pretty good. Also, you could have some fun beating the fire out after you're done. :smile:

Nope, it's not a kill until you can resist posting. I was rather curious if you could resist...see, you just don't have the heart to kill Franzbear. :devil: :smile:
 
  • #8,863
I still beat the record.


and thread kill is when you post, and nobody else does for a period of time
 
  • #8,864
Of course you could jump on the burning Franzbear and pumpkin pile and stomp it out.
Here is a can of water that you could dump on the smoldering embers.



:rolleyes: <Just ignore that the can says GASOLINE on it.> :approve:

OK, I guess I can't let this thread get to 10,000 posts without posting in it once myself, so let me ask:

What is a 'franzbear'?

I've seen sporadic references to this creature and I think I remember seeing something about someone killing it. Is its head mounted above a mantle somewhere? Can we get photos?

Franzbear is the nickname of this thread and the e-child of Moonbear and Franznietzche. I see him as an indestructable 9 or 10 year old nephew, the kind who'll do anything once (or twice). As a matter of fact, Franzbear and I are due to go hang-gliding this weekend! I made his hang-glider myself out of some tissue paper, balsa wood, an anvil, and some string. We're going to launch from a mountain cliff. It'll be fun. :smile: :devil:

I hear there is rain forecast this weekend. Better add an extra layer of tissue paper. :approve:

okay. so I'm here at the cedar point resort. I'll be here 'till monday. :smile:

I'll check into kill this thread:devil:


the smilies moved again!:cry:

Have a great time, yomamma! Don't worry about Franzbear. We're just about to start hang-gliding. Since Moonbear says it's supposed to rain, maybe we should put a good coat of model airplane dope on the wings first. Then if it gets cold, Franzbear can warm himself with these matches.
:rolleyes: <Ignore the fact that the model dope can says "GASOLINE"on it. Actually, it's a mixture of model dope and gasoline. :approve:
(They did move the smilies again! :cry: )

But the gasoline is evaporating off too quickly. I think we need something to water-proof the hang-glider better. How about hydraulic cement? You can apply that in the rain and it'll harden pretty quickly. (Cement is the next best thing to duct tape in this thread; good for fixing everything. :approve:)

the tallest roller coaster in the world is down for mantinence. I had to ride the 2nd tallest. :frown:

its so cold here. I went on the log ride and was the only person. when I came off the drop people were watching me and waving...

How about just setting the extremely flammable mixture on fire to evaporate the wetness? :smile: Or, what if we put a huge gas tite bag around franzbear and his hang-glider let the gas evaporate into that, then let franzbear light his matches to help warm him up? Although a cement covering does have potential (and a lot of weight) :smile: .:devil:

too late, they left this morning, i guess they made due. i heard the screams from Canada...sounded like artman.
 
  • #8,875
Nah, I don't think the screams were Franzbear. I think it was yomamma when that cold water hit him on the log ride! :smile:
 
  • #8,876
okay. I have left cedar point and I'm in cleveland. if franzbear catches on fire, don't put him out. :smile:
 
  • #8,877
What are you doing in Cleveland?
 
  • #8,878
the right question is..

what ARE you doing??
 
  • #8,879
Well, my first thought was, "What's in Cleveland?" But, I suppose it's just as reasonable to wonder why yomamma is always online even when on vacation instead of going out and seeing/doing things.

my mom is visiting the manager of one of the company she works for's branches. so technically, this was a business trip:approve:
 
  • #8,881
Oh, that makes more sense.
 
  • #8,882
franzbear, should've taken you to the park.
 
  • #8,883
Yes, you should have. You could have let him ride the log ride over and over, until he was hypothermic...:rolleyes: I mean...until he was completely exhausted from the thrill.
 
  • #8,884
you should have used franzbear as the log...i hear the ones they have at the theme park are attached to a track...that's no fun.
 
  • #8,885
By the way, Moonbear, what kind of experiments were you conducting last week? You mentioned you were setting them up.
 
  • #8,886
cronxeh, your sig is misleading
 
  • #8,887
I think Franzbear should take up a hobby. I'm going to teach him woodworking. :smile: It'll be fun. :smile: :devil:
Let's build a cabriole (sp?) leg table. :approve: Okay, Franzbear. First let's use the bandsaw to cut out the basic shape of the legs. You saw, and I'll watch you and make suggestions. :smile: (:devil:)
get a good tight hold on the wood.
Now, turn on the saw, very carefully. we wouldn't want something awful to happen. (:devil:)
Whhrrrrrrrrr
Now start pushing the wood...
Whhrrrrrrrrr
Now turn the wood to follow the lines...
WhhrOPPPPOPPP
After getting your thumb out of the way...
YOWWWW!
Whhrrrrrrrrr
Oh, that's okay, the blood didn't get on the wood. (yet)
Whhrrrrrrrrr
Now, grab the wood from the back...use your arm with a good hand...the one with the thumb...
WhhrROOOHROOOHRooorrrrrr
But first make sure you don't just take your arm through the saw balde...
YOWWWW!
Oops! I guess I should have told you that first.
.

Oh well, accidents happen. :smile: :devil: :biggrin:
 
  • #8,888
Ooh, how fun, learning woodworking. How about learning to use the lathe next. Okay, first we'll just get it turned on.
whap thwap thwap thwap thwap thwap
mmph phmp
Oh, probably should have warned you not to wear a tie while using it. :redface: :devil:
 
  • #8,889
Plunge Router time! :smile:



let me just step back here behind the work bench.

Okay turn it on!

<BrrrrrrrRAPARPRAPRAPRPARPZinggggggZinggg><TWANGE!>
Ooooh. You really do have to tighten those blades.
