    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.

i didn't realize you were his relief. (Oooh, that doesn't sound right, does it?)
:biggrin:
Sounds good to me. :-p

Moonbear said:
Well, Huck has already learned that it's worthwhile to become one of my minions. You can become one of my minions too. :biggrin:
Just make sure she trims her fingernails first. Those current ones are part of the Do-It-Yourself Home Vasectomy kit. :eek:

Hey, what test are you doing now?


What...what are those rubber gloves for? You want me to do what to my toes? What are you doing behind me...?

See? Hindsight ain't always a good thing.

...Huck, glad to have you on board as a minion. Now, just take all your clothes off so I can measure you for your uniform. :-p
Do you need minions to help with measuring? :rolleyes: :-p
Artman said:
Hey...I...

SOS is picking on me! :cry: :cry: :cry:
We only hurt the ones we love...
Evo said:
No one can pick on Artman because I love him...in a completely platonic way that his wife would not have a problem with. :-p
See? (Of course in a platonic way.)
Artman said:
Sorry SOS, you can pick on me while danger is resting up. i didn't realize you were his relief. (Oooh, that doesn't sound right, does it?)
:biggrin:
Moonbear, how about I measure Artman? :devil:

As a matter of fact, I did just trim my fingernails.

It's just part of the training exercises, building flexibility by touching your toes. That, and we need to fit the uniforms so there's no plumber's crack showing when you bend over. o:)

Moonbear, how about I measure Artman? :devil:

Well, I suppose it's best to measure twice and cut once, so why don't you go ahead and double check all my measurements. If we don't get the same numbers, then we'll need to repeat the measurements again. :-p

Yeh, it's bad enough to have ghosts--we don't want to see you feeling a cold draft...

I seem to be feeling better... :cool:

Wanna be a minion? SOS and I are taking the measurements for the uniforms. They're a nifty dark blue with silver-lined capes for the new recruits, and gold trim if you advance to captain. So far we've got Huck and Artman signed up. Oh, and apparently getting to swoop is a big selling point. :biggrin: Plus, VIP treatment at the cancer clinic. Non-minions have to wait in line.

Are you going to bring your velvet rope from home? :biggrin:

Danger said:

Uh-huh? Perhaps Danger will need some extra attention--maybe more than one cut, er I mean...definitely a puffy hat for him.

I'll bring green apple martinis too - that always helps me to keep a steady hand. <-- :devil:

Upon reading this I had a vision of a scruffy haired, mustachioed, and somewhat balding, droopy-faced seventies dj yelling at me "Give it to me straight doctor. I can take it."

Oddly enough someone just asked a question about fingernails in the other threads. Oddly enough I answered.

*reviews notes on measurements* Hmmm...it seems I measured 2 hands exactly, and you got two hands plus one finger there. We better recheck that.

I'll bring green apple martinis too - that always helps me to keep a steady hand. <-- :devil:

Oh, you're a wonderful minion! I might have to bring you up for promotion early. I think gold goes better with your complexion anyway, don't you agree?

Well, like Rod Stewart said... :rolleyes:

Okay... that part worries me just a little. :rolleyes:

You forgot the poofy hats. You can't forget the poofy hats and the swooping. We need poofy hats so we can swoop unexpectedly.

P.S. Is it bad that I got a 7 on a basic relativity test? How about if I took it again a few seconds later and got an 8? Itold you my attention span was short, maybe 10 seconds. Who are you people anyway?

What was the question again?

Oh, no! Poofy hats aren't for swooping, poofy hats are for lulling the enemy into a false sense of security. The silver-lined capes are for swooping! Like this:
*swoops off sofa onto Danger with a flourish of cape*

You were just volunteering to help me train the other minions on swooping with a proper swooshing of capes. *hands Huck his brand new cape* Don't worry, we'll get the rest of the uniform made soon enough. :biggrin:

SOS promised me a poofy hat just a couple of posts back.

I'm too old to swoop. I don't know that a poofy hat will be all that advantageous for skulking. :confused:

Hey...! I seem to have been swooped upon by something! What on Earth...? Must be some kind of bat. Birds lay eggs, so they don't need those things... Hmmmm... I say now... that's not half bad... :-p

So, what do you think of this new recruitment strategy? Ready to sign on as a minion yet? :biggrin:

And maybe I should bring some snacks too. Yes, I think I do look better in gold...

Exactly. If we act like Spartans to instill fear, there wouldn't be a false sense of security. Well done Moonbear! :biggrin:

I thought we were only giving capes and hats out to the male minions??

I reluctantly admit defeat. Where do I sign up? (Conditional upon the being-swooped-upon continuing after I work for you.)

Oh yeah... and access to the velvet rope.

Hey! What's that supposed to mean!

Was I drinking green apple martinis? And did I say I'd love you in the morning by any chance?

Right. I'm still working on his poofy hat. Do you think we should give them swords too, or should they have to provide their own? :wink:

Minions never admit defeat! You've just made the obvious choice. :approve: :biggrin: Of course the swooping will continue. That's our main training exercise; we do a lot of that. :approve:

Huckleberry said:

Um...it means as my first minion with the most seniority, you've just been promoted to captain as well. We'll have to measure you again to fit you with the gold-lined cape instead of the silver one. :-p

Definitely a sword--way better than a cod. :biggrin:

Cod? No floppy fish here!

Okay minions, you each will wear a well-honed sword of hard, forged steel. :biggrin: We'll need to take a few more measurements to ensure the sheaths are properly prepared for your swords.

SOS2008 said:

Uhhh... :rolleyes: yes. And yes, most assuredly you did. I even wrote it down so you wouldn't forget. :smile: Have another martini.

Moonbear said:

Is a broadsword essential, or will you settle for an epee? :redface:

Sorry for the delay, I had to google "epee."

http://www.unh.edu/fencing/epee.html
The epee evolved in 19th century Europe as the premiere dueling weapon replacing its predecessor, the small sword...

The epee is a thrusting weapon only, so touches must be scored with the point.

Yes, that will be acceptable. :biggrin:
 
  • #2,800
Can I have a flamberge? Do they make sheaths for those or do they just hang from the belt? I can't wait to swoop with my flamberge.
Huck
