I have to say that having seen MANY multi-page threads with struuter on the first page, she doesn’t have any right to claim thread-killer status. struuter, honey, WAAAAAAY too many people flirt with you for you to be a thread-killer. Please note that this is just jealousy talking, I want to flirt with you too!
Jester, I think this is something almost everybody goes through. I know I did. Next is the “you don’t kill a thread, but your posts don’t get responded to” phase.

Back in the day, grem…I could kill 'em with the best. And I still have the knack, believe me. Flirt with me? You say that like it would be tough to do. I’m a pushover…
Thanks, strut, yer always a pal. I’m working on getting the calender changed so that I’m no longer “Mr. One-Month-Old,” but when I called Clinton he said he had to go have sex, and when I called the pope he said some mumbo-jumbo about God’s plan. Bastard.
Grem, I think I’m in the transitional phase, since people continue a thread for about 5 more posts after me, ignoring me, and then the thread dies.
Wait, I just called the Pope a bastard, didn’t I? Awwww…phooey.
Bah, let this one month old kill this thread. bang
You all are so misinformed. Look my name up, only the lucky few survive my cursed name.
To prove it…
I post here now.
Screeme
Me, too!
(Maybe that’s why…)
Bah. You’re all amateurs. Now that I’ve posted here, the thread is officially dead. You’ll see.
Sorry for all you folks that think you can kill threads, but there’s some flirtin’ to be done. The Goddess struuter has spoken. Please step aside.
struuter my lovely, how YOU doin’? I’m not normally this forward, but how would you like to find a quiet corner somewhere and cuddle up together and whisper in each other’s ear (or anywhere else interesting)?

I don’t kill threads. I just maim them horribly. They seem to stumble pitifully on after I post without any real vigor or wit.
Is there some sort of treatment or counseling available for this?
sigh Why don’t you just get the booth next to AudreyK and Myrr’s? BTW, since this is my second post in this thread, it’ll be dead in another day, two tops.
Well alright, jester. I’ll change the calendar for you if you want. Seeing as how you’re my VP and all. If you want to start a support group for thread killers, can I be your VP, cause then each of us could be a president and each of us could be a vice president. See how nicely that works out?
I don’t kill threads, guns kill threads.
For any of you who don’t see it, there is a Charlton Heston reference there. If you still don’t get what I’m talking about, then it wasn’t funny and I never should have written it. Damn I feel stupid now.
It does have a nice ring to it - can I add you to my sig? Not that I’m a name dropper or anything… (& I never tell lies either!)
Steeljaw - if you knew the number of wonderful replies I delete at the last second, because I worry that no one else will get it…then I’d have a much higher post count & even more killed threads (& probably a straitjacket!)
Mojo57 gives thread a hard shaking, slaps its faces and pulls it upright*
THREAD tries to stand on its wobbly legs
READERS glance out of the corners of their eyes
THREAD takes a shallow breath and speaks
>Wow, that was close call, after that last post I thought I was goner fer sure<
Mojo57 makes a pitiful attempt at humor and roleplaying
READERS are underwhelmed
THREAD slumps to the floor
I must step in here and point out that no-one who claims to be a thread-killer has managed to kill this thread.
While I’m here, “Killer of Threads” would make a great name for a rock ba-…okay, okay! I’m leaving.
Sheesh!
Now the question: Will someone be the last poster, and become killer of threads, or will this be bumped in perpetuity?
Too bad this isn’t IRC, we could say “Tune in tomorrow, same IRC time, same IRC channel…”
Good God, man! Goddess? Are you trying to give me feart hailure? Have you any idea how embarrassing it is to swoon? Yet you seem bent upon my doing so…
Go ahead and drop it. My name and a buck fifty might get you a cup of coffee if you play it right.
Consider it dropped - but…I’m a tea drinker!
Goddess I said and Goddess I meant. It’s appropriate since the feelings you inspire in me match the descriptions I have heard of religious ecstasy!
Should you swoon, I promise to catch you and hold you in my arms until you awaken. I’ll try not to fall, though that will be difficult since your presence makes my heart go a-flutter and my knees go weak.
I remain your most humble and devoted servant,
grem
Heavens to Betsy. May I inquire as to what it is about me that inspires this? Not that I’m complaining, mind you. I’m just curious. There are, as you are well aware, many other ladies hereabouts that are probably more deserving than I.
You know, don’t you, that talk like that will get you nothing but affection lavished all over you? blush
