Do i have the power to end a thread? ^^

Here's something stiflingly boring. (Not trying to end the thread. Boring failed.) I'm coming to the end of the third of the five projects I've been editing. (Thud!). The appendix is a legal form. Does a person edit a legal form? Sometimes yes and sometimes no. Gotta find out from the person who hired me about this one. So I can't finish tonight. This has put me in a minor funk, which is difficult to distinguish from the major funk I'm usually in. The only distinguishing characteristics of minor funks is that they're a tad purple around the edges, as opposed to all gray.

So the freaking project isn't gonna be done tonight.

Udderwise, nuttin' is new.

It's nippy here. We had some snow. Nothing major. I have apparently lived long enough to see global warming in action. It used to be colder for longer, and there used to be more snow. There were few things on this planet that I loved as much as snow. Now, I worry about walking on it. Still like to look at it, though.

Done rambling. Gotta send an e-mail to find out about the legal form.

I know boring doesn't work to close this thread, but I'd like to try really boring and I know it can't be about talking weather conditions because there are already three other vastly active threads concerning just that so I thinking of either constructing overly long and pathetically dull sentences or relating a particularly dull personal story which has a tangential weather related angle? Which?

Okay.

Personal Story.
(Sorry, the votes are in)

I had a Who's on First moment yesterday morning. A woman called me at the store in a panic. It seems her dog had just peed on the rug and some realtors were scheduled to arrive to see her apartment that afternoon. We sell a product that is made for just that purpose -taking bad odors out of carpets- in fact, it is called OUT!

(Note: this is the second time in four or five days I've mentioned this product on A2K, but I am not a stockholder of the producing company. I just answer questions here.)

So, I go and make sure we have a bottle or two and come back to the phone.

Me: We have the product you need, it's called OUT!
Woman: You're out? Where can I get some?
Me: No, we have it, it's OUT! The na-
Woman: I need it right away. What's it called?
Me: Um.
Woman: Hello??
Me: OUT! It's called OUT! We have ..
Woman: I thought you said you were out.
Me: No, it's OUT!, I have a bottle of it in my hand.
Woman: It? It's called it?
.............


I got her to come down to the store.

It's frigid in New York these days, about 15 degrees F and lower wind chills. She was in her mid-thirties, wild-haired and wearing a long-sleeved tee-shirt, sweatpants and -I swear- flipflops. She flew in through the doorway and began, at the top of her voice, asking everyone in sight for me. As soon as I heard the commotion I reached for the two bottles of OUT! I had stashed under the counter. She bought them and was back out in the freezing cold in less than forty-five seconds.

I hope she sold the place.

Joe, That's your idea of boring? It made me laugh. Boring isn't supposed to be amusing.

I don't think you're really trying.

You're right. I'm amusing even when trying to be boring.

I know, we should do a survey of posts that end threads and then try to duplicate whatever elements they contain. Are they more or less obtuse? Are they creepy? Are they hatefilled?

(Boy, I would love to end this thread with some kind of obtuse, creepy, hatefilled post, maybe I should ask _____________ [you fill in the blank] for pointers?

I came to this thread because I thought I was the queen of ending threads. I thought if anyone could do it, it would be me. I don't think any of the adjectives you use apply to true thread-ending skills. Those qualities are likely to receive some kind of witty, nasty, ironic sardonic reply. I thought the secret to my thread-ending success was that I said one thing too many.

The problem is that there's no such thing as one thing too many on this thread. It's a diabolical plot.

The key element, I think, is an honest an total lack of intention to end the thread. It is an accidental affair. Your only hope to end the thread is to stop trying to end the thread.

Even so, the vast majority of posts made with no intention of killing a thread do not, in fact, kill threads.

I haven't been on A2K long and already I have unintentional ended threads. And I don't want this thread to die....

Should I not be posting this?

You're gonna end up with your poor head so far up your metaphorical bum that it comes out of your mouth again if you keep trying to think like THAT!

Well, I guess I didn't kill it then.




I'll sleep better knowing that....

The secret to ending this thread is not such a secret. It's not complicated. It serenely and divinely simple.

Everybody has to





















































SHUT THE HELL UP!

Hey, I "killed it" for 34 hours!

Roberta unkilled it!

I don't shut up I grow up and when I look at you I throw up then your mother comes around the corner and licks it up.

That oughta end it.

Stand by Me...

wow this thing is still going...

PLEEEEEEEEEEEZE become the goim again!!!

That avatar is doing my brain harm.

CL, this thread is like the energizer bunny.
it just keeps going and going...


how so?

for the wabbit --

It's pulsating. It must be alive.

Hey, Bunny. Obviously Region had aspirations. He aspired to multicellularity. Don't take that away from him. He's still the same good old goim underneath it all.

Amazing!

I was certain that post would do the trick!

But no .... onward to even longer thread-dom!
