I am in a generous mood as well. Have another.

But I will have the last word. And that word is.................

Wahoos!

This is no points marathon.... this is my effort to prove I can get the last word.

I guess some history is in order... some years back, on another web "boards" site that I set up for a group of friends, we had an individual that called himself the ultimate Thread killer. He created a thread where he stated he was in deed, the one, the only, ultimate thread killer. Just having him add a comment in a thread would generally kill that thread completely. For whatever reason, once that individual posted his $.02, others just ignored that thread, and moved on. Very rarely was the individual able to add a comment to a thread without this effect, or so he really believed.

And so, with great fan fare, the individual started the "I am the ultimate thread killer" thread, and it turned into the thread that ate the message board (just kidding, but it did account for something like 45% of the message board traffic/space usage just for that one thread). No one else could let the individual win. To this day, every so many hours someone comes along and posts some random thought or comment and adds it to that thread, all in the name of not letting the original thread killer have the last and final word.

You know, I'm not even certain now that the original thread killer still frequents the old message boards, but the war of the words that he started certainly has lived on much longer than I would have expected.

Since I was the admin of the original board site where the thread was posted, I tried several times to have the thread die down, and come up with some official winner who could claim the title of ultimate thread killer. Each time, the participants at the message board raised such a ruckus of the artificial cap coming into play to end their fun, that the thread kept getting unlocked. I think I even tried pruning some of the earlier rabble in the thread, and even that was screamed about. Everyone wanted to see the attempts to get the last word, and everyone always tried to get the last word so someone else couldn't claim the prize.

Well, I am game for trying similar fun here. Just who can be the one that can lay claim to any extended time as the ultimate thread killer? If everyone is playing the game right, then no one should be able to claim more than a few hours time as the last poster in the thread. It all depends on how badly everyone wants to keep me from proving that I am the ultimate thread killer.

Throwing down gauntlets has a habit of backfiring. But it will get you some points too!

Who are you calling one legged?

I could go really crude here and discuss a resemblance to a tripod, but I won't do that

Are not, and that's all there is to it.

Now everybody shut up and let me be the one to kill it or I shall hold my breath until my face turns blue and I pee my pants.

And your fantasies based on an overload of porn would be relevant HOW, exactly?

Hey, I'm not a porn star. It's not my fault I was never discovered

Oh, and btw, Gid, since this is pretty much a free-form thread with no real topic, I feel ok in asking here, how goes things for you on the job fronts? I had read your threads some time back on the effort to earn enough extra $$ to replace an ailing car and it sounded pretty tough at the time. Have things improved somewhat for you in that area?

Going pretty much as they have been for awhile. I'm working 40 hours a week at Major Fast Food Chain as well as another 20-25 hours a week at the paper route. I'm tired all the time, but I haven't "sold out" (bwaaaahhaaaaahaaaa....what a word!). We picked up another car; time will tell if it's a lemon or not, but still nothing big enough for regular family forays into town. Here, you can't touch anything REMOTELY reliable for under $2,000, and can't find a used station wagon to save your life. As for minivans, figure on a minimum for $1000 for one with a blown head gasket or similar mechanical liability and a transmission that's lucky to get through the first two gears.

If you were any good, you'd have been discovered. Trust me.
