The Kiss of Death

[Wile_E]

I’ve killed a few threads. I was pretty upset when it seemed I had killed the testicular-themed kitchen thread, it went limp after my post and was about to droop off the second page, but eventually it rose up again and swelled with posts.

@Polycarp

This thread is predominantly for Cajun Man and Skip Magic, to alert them to a valuable resource.

If you don’t spell my user name correctly, Poly, I’m not gonna kiss you at all.

Wreaks havoc with the vanity searches, eh?

You act like killing a thread is a bad thing. Whenever I kill a thread, I realize that it is because of one of the following:

1. My argument is so powerful and compelling that my opponents don’t know how to counter it.

2. That joke I posted made everyone laugh so violently that they can’t do anything, let alone post a reply.

3. I answered the question so definitively that further responses risk diluting the power of what I said.

Maybe it is the same with you.

Well, that explains a lot.

So I start a thread to mock-bemoan that I’ve become a thread-killer, and of course in classic Doper irony, people flock to respond to it. :smack:

Truly one of the intrinsic beauties of this place.

DancesWithCats has thread cooties!

Sure, now I’ll be the thread killer.

Sung to the tune of “Killing Me Softly.”
[sub]With apologies to Roberta Flack[/sub]

Strumming my pain with his fingers
Stinging my life with his words
Killing it softly - with his post
Killing it softly - and it’s wrong
Smelling the whole thread - with his words
Killing it softly and it’s wrooooooooooongggg…

I’ll gladly kiss Polycarp…

Well, it’s time for me to post, 'cause I seem to be the newbie thread killer around here…
I guess it’s officially dead now…

@Aesiron

I got that once; my reply was “I’m Southern.”

I used to say “Incest is best” in response to “I love you like a brother.”

I’ll kill the dern thread since no one else has.

[GusNSpot]

Oops, sorry, pushed the wrong button…

[Kythereia]

This is great. Let’s never, ever kill the thread, just to prove Polycarp wrong.

[Steve_Wright]

I’m up for that!

[MannyL]

Bring out your dead!

Man, is this thing still alive?

[EddyTeddyFreddy]

It’s pinin’ for the fjords.

[Rebo]

Hello?

:: echo ::

Hello hello hello

[EddyTeddyFreddy]

[Beatles]

You say yes, I say no.
You say stop and I say go go go, oh no.
You say goodbye and I say hello
Hello hello
I don’t know why you say goodbye, I say hello
Hello hello
I don’t know why you say goodbye, I say hello.

Do not submit meekly to the final toast!
Rage, rage against issuing the ultimate post!

Apologies to Rudyard Kipling, his heirs and assigns, everyone who has ever read any of his works, people who look like him or anyone with the initials R.K.

Rudyard Kipling wouldn’t be offended at all. Dylan Thomas, I believe, would be very offended.

Hey, guys, how about a singalong? “This is the thread that never ends, yes, it goes on and on, my friends…”
