Oh yeah, I deleted it. Guess you can still do that to threads you start yourself. Huh.

Ignore this one, too.
 
Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :
 
Are you feeling okay?

I ignored the other one as requested, though. [Big Grin]
 
Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
 
I'm afraid I clicked on it immediately.
 
Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :
 
ElJay, you brat! Now you're just messin' with us!
 
Posted by Advent 115 (Member # 8914) on :
 
Tell me how you did that, because I can't seem to delete mine.
 
Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
 
Tom illustrates an excellent point. Advent, you were doing so in my other thread as well. Do you know why I started it yet? I have to go to a three hour meeting now, so let's see if you can figure it out by the time I get back.

But not in this thread! THIS thread I want you to let die! No posting in it, now!

Which you posted at 1:00 EST, 15 minutes after you responded to my post on the other thread explaining how to do it.
 
Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
 
Don't forget not to post in here! Let's nail this thread shut!
 
Posted by smitty (Member # 8855) on :
 
OK ElJay, I won't post in here anymore.

*smacks forehead*

Yeah, what I said.

You know what really makes attention whores who are desparate to feel important learn their lesson? When you lavish attention on them and make them feel important, because, man, they hate that.
 
Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
 
Actually, Squicky, I was primarily just entertaining myself, and I believe a few others. While I certainly wouldn't have minded if my rather broadly dropped hint was taken up, I didn't really expect it to be.

*pries it open to see what's inside*

Oooh! Shiny!
 
Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
 
Hey! Watch what you're calling shiny!
 
Posted by Goody Scrivener (Member # 6742) on :
 
But your hair is so lustrous, ElJay....
 
Posted by 0range7Penguin (Member # 7337) on :
 
Handle with care... [ROFL]
 
Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :
 
Ooooh...Fra-gee-le...must be Italian...
 
Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
 
There is entirely too much posting going on in this thread. How do you expect it to die?
 
Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :
 
I'll handle this.

*breaks out nailgun*

*drives 6 inch spikes through thread*

*breaks out welding torch*

*welds edges of thread*

There. NOTHING is getting through that! Yeah!
 
Posted by pH (Member # 1350) on :
 
I read "thread" as "head."

Nothing says, "Obey me" like a bloody head on a fence post!

Or something.

Exactly! A severed head rolling about on the floor! That's a great way to deter people from this thread.

Posted by Advent 115 (Member # 8914) on :
 
Thanks, now my threads shall haunt me only in my nightmares. Please let us never bring them back to the light of day.
 
Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
 
As long as you stop bumping my thread. What are you doing in here again? Shoo!
 
Posted by Advent 115 (Member # 8914) on :
 
*giggles and runs away*
 
Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :
 
*waves nailgun threateningly*

Yeah, stay out of the thread!
 
Posted by smitty (Member # 8855) on :
 
Oooh! Can I play with the nail gun? I like to shoot nails at people who giggle.
 
Posted by CRash (Member # 7754) on :
 
I call the nailgun next! Nailing mouths shut is my specialty.
 
Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :
 
NOBODY gets my nailgun, unless it's the business end!

Get your own tool/weapon. [Big Grin]
 
Posted by smitty (Member # 8855) on :
 
Meg, I label you "not a team player". I shoot my staple gun in your general direction.
 
Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :
 
*nails smitty's hands to the table*

How d'ya like them apples?
 
Posted by smitty (Member # 8855) on :
 
hey now i cant reach the shift key you witch
 
Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :
 
[Big Grin]
 
Posted by CRash (Member # 7754) on :
 
Well, if I can't have a nail gun, guess it's the good old hammer for me.
 
Posted by smitty (Member # 8855) on :
 
Owie owie owie! That smarts! OK, I'm moving up to chucking handfuls of loose nails in your general direction. If I had ever played the piano before, I would now be lamenting that I'll never play it again...
 
Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
 
There is entirely too much frivolity going on in here. You'd think people came to Hatrack to enjoy themselves or something.
 
Posted by smitty (Member # 8855) on :
 
No, to play with tools we are waaaaaay too immature to play with. I'm fair certain my staple gun won't shoot all the way to Canada, but there's a couple heading in your general direction.

I'd better pick those up out of the carpet before the wife gets home.
 
Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
 
*blink* I'm not in Canada, silly. I'm in Minnesota.

Don't make me get out my water balloon slingshot!
 
Posted by smitty (Member # 8855) on :
 
*blink* isn't Minnesota IN Canada? Or, at least close enough for government work? I coulda swore we gave that away years ago....
 
Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
 
That's it, I'm raiding Dad's garage. . .

*holsters up two nail guns, three staple guns, and a maul*

*tries to figure out how to gracefully pull around the compressor and a long extention cord*
 
Posted by smitty (Member # 8855) on :
 
Well, I'm headed south in the morning, so you'd better hurry if you're gonna get here in time.

Besides, a woman with power tools is more likely to hurt herself than anyone else....

(OK, ducking and running out of the room. I'd better leave earlier than planned...... [Wink] )
 
Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
 
See, your chauvenism is so laughable it's just cute. *pats smitty's head*

But be careful, or I'll come after you with this. [Smile]
 
Posted by pH (Member # 1350) on :
 
I found a power drill on top of the fridge. *proceeds to wave it about menacingly*

Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
 
Nice thread, ElJay. What's it for?
 
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
 
For her to show off that picture again.

Duh.
 
Posted by Scythrop (Member # 5731) on :
 
*reserved*


Hey, why not? works in the reservation thread...

I'll think of something witty and power tool related later on today, then I've got somewhere to post it.
 
Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
 
Nah, rivka, that's just a side benefit. [Wink]
 
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
 
Sure it is. *pat pat*
 
Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
 
And how exactly was I supposed to have predicted that the thread would turn to powertools? When I just started it to be a smart-ass. [Big Grin]
 
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
 
As if we couldn't see the ever-so-subtle way you guided the conversation.

Puh-leeez.

Out of curiosity, what'd you bribe Megan with?
 
Posted by 0range7Penguin (Member # 7337) on :
 
A ElJay you evil master mind you. Still playing like this was not all planned are you? Well we have caught on... [Evil]
 
Posted by smitty (Member # 8855) on :
 
dang it, I woke up alive. That means my fake cheu.. chau... chue... anti-womanism didn't work out. A pat on the head??? How condescending....

[Big Grin] Jackhammers are cool! EVERY thread should end up as a discussion of power tools.
 
Posted by sweetbaboo (Member # 8845) on :
 
Parts of this thread reminded me of, "There's a Monster at the end of this book"
 
Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :
 
Hey, how did this slip off the first page, anyway?
 
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
 
Nice thread....What does it do?

[Big Grin] [Big Grin] [Big Grin]
 
Posted by CaySedai (Member # 6459) on :
 
sweetbaboo - that's just what I was thinking. [Wink]

and, "It doesn't do anything, that's the beauty of it"
 
Posted by CaySedai (Member # 6459) on :
 
For ElJay: Available in 63 colors!
 
Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
 
*sigh* I was gonna wait at least 48 hours before bumping it.
