7. You flatter yourself
I am the Ultimate Threadkiller, and YoungRed will back me up on that. (And Will Pitt cheated!)

Not only am I the Threadkiller Extroardinaire, whose mere utterance can collapse the space-time of a thread faster than Einstein said, "Fuck that!" but my Threads die faster than an overweight chain-smoker in a hot tub with the Swedish Bikini Team. It is a rare but precious talent.

9. I post to threads that are already dead
That way I can't be accused of killing them.

11. Silly Goose :-)
Demotratic Freedom Fighters here on DU, just like you me, and all the WONDERFUL diverse insightful posters
in this wonderful forum is proof of ALL OUR COLLECTIVE SANITY.


sOMETIMES, folks got lots of shit on their minds, and sometimes post get to going so fast, because we all are thinking and
brainstorming and bitchen about the terrorist thugs and evil doers squatting in the whitehouse. It's hard to keep up with
all the different fires we have to put out.

Nobody here is retarded. Because we are the party working together, sometimes getting feathers ruffled, out of frustration, but hell. We got each other. Believe me. We have so much on our plates, it's hard to comment on all posters. Which is good, the more we got our thinking caps working at a common goal, you got to remember, that means
we got brains enough to have comrades that unite to fight injustice, and that's putting an Outstanding Award, (thats
gubment speak) Just be patient. You care, and you got more brothers and sisters that take all post very serious. Sometimes nobody seems to notice, but just cause they may not reply sometimes, it's nothing personal. Bet you a cheese burger, and a lone star longneck, the national beer of Texas, if you continue to post your heart out, people
do read and do feel strongly with all issues that get posted. It's just a busy time and we finaly have a good place to unite in our fight to take back America from the RETARDED resident select, the smirkster cartel.

Carry on Commrade. Solidarity is alive and well here at DU. Now, carry on, soldier, we got a real nasty
bunch of freeloading corporate pimps that need to be tried for treason. Then torture the cowards, as they \
have tortured us, will be the iceing of the the cake., I'd like to be the one to put smirky in the school test that
he demands our kids to pass, and each wrong answer, I will put him in a crummy coackroach infested outhouse
and pipe in music, like Dixie Chicks, and Barbara Striasand, and maybe some of my Dr Deminto collection, with a little Devo, and Quiet Riot, and bag pipes,200 miles of reel to reel bag pipe music non stop. Oh, oh, oh, and the one
to really blow his short fuze, none other than the songbird with the most unique vocal chords, YOKO ONO

Oh,I just get goose bumps all over thinking of just what I want to do to give my assistance to help smirky get
my brand of compassion. Oh, I might even donate my untrained vocals to songs that could make him beg to
call the twinky mobile to carry him away, ha, ha :-)

12. We Share Something In Common
Someone posts, you answer their question and fill in the blanks.

Le me guess; your IQ is 140+?

I don't brag about it; it's something you're going to have to live with for the rest of your life.

Do you know any women my age with a mind and an attitude?

15. I am the Kervorkian of Conversation. The Assassin of Exposition.
The Ultimate Threat to Threads.

The Killer of Correspondence.

The Neutron Bomb of Non-Random eloquence.

DU threads tremble at my approach...

My threads seem to die out, and my replies seem to kill the threads.

Come, we celebrate death and such.

29. Don't count on it -- that thread is semi-immortal
It's bigger than all of us. Even bigger than Rush Limbaugh after two gallons of Butter Pecan ice cream. I posted on it several times, and not even I killed it! oxy, in his genius, created a monster which will be posted to (and revered) by our great-great-great-great grandchildren. Verily, I say unto thee, that thread will soon grow to a size which will enable it to eat Philadelphia.

Unless, of course, it is stopped by the only power on earth capable of arresting it in its tracks -- a moderator locking it. (At which point, someone will post "The Son of the Thread that Wouldn't Die", which will go down faster than..... well, you fill in the blanks...)

23. Just keep posting away.
Eventually you spark a real good thread. There are DUers that have 5000-6000 posts,not all are gems I imagine.

25. Maybe you've been posting after everyone else
has already posted, and is done with the thread. I often end up doing the same thing.

34. I often tell myself
that I'm the last person to post because, once others have gazed upon my blinding insight (*koff*), trenchant commentary (*koff* *koff*), wit (*koff* *koff* *retch*), and perfect grasp of all issues (*koff* *koff* *retch* *gag* *choke*)... well, they're so awed that they realize that I've summed up and solved the problem and there's nothing more to say!

I also believe in the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy.

30. Ha! You think you kill threads
Welcome to my world
Won't you come on in
Miracles I guess
Still happen now and then
Step into my heart
Leave your cares behind
Welcome to my world
Built with you in mind
Knock and the door shall be open
Seek and you will find
Ask and you'll be given
The key to this heart of mine
I'll be waiting there
With my arms unfurled
Waiting just for you
Welcome to my world
Welcome to my world



This thread is now officially dead. :)

32. I suddenly went 'windy' and all the threads disolved on my shorts.
Does that count as a thread killer?
