Come. Meet the Family. - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

A nocturnal creature, old Hazel was known to walk the forest at night
gathering strange herbs. Children were warned to avoid her little cottage,
tempted though they were by the smell of freshly baked gingerbread...

Old Grandpa Esbat was said to be a strict disciplinarian.
Children didn't dare misbehave when visiting his house.
(In fact, children didn't dare visit his house at all...)

They said that Granny Gertrude's overbite ran in the family.
(They also said that many families ran from Granny Gertrude's overbite!)

Uncle Charles was not very well-liked by people. Isolated and bitter,
by nightfall he was often found to be in a "rotten" mood...

Cousin Drusilla was said to have a troubled past.
(Unfortunately her future doesn't look much better...)

The townsfolks suspected that Uncle Bernie was "a real flamer."
(Looks like they were right!)

Darling Little Lucy was an accident-prone child.
Just look at the mess she made of her lovely collar!

Baby Bartholomew is a ravenous little chap.
He is always ready for his feeding, no matter what time of day...or night...

Demure-looking Aunt Polly was said to have a wild streak.
As you can see, she became a real "swinger!"

Uncle Jack was the family prankster. Always full of surprises,
they never knew what--or who--he was going to bring home!

Aunt Gretchen was a shy and quiet woman.
After marrying volatile Uncle Jack, she became quieter still...

Aunt Astrid was said to have an abrasive personality.
She had a way of getting under your skin...with her teeth!

Infected by a bite from Little Thomas , Uncle Percy rose to join the ranks of the walking dead.
The horror was too much for Aunt Polly and she was driven to madness.
She ended her life amid the moans of her zombie husband and son as they scratched relentlessly at the door...

I was just wondering what kind of discussion this was supposed to be

:shrug:

feelgood · 10-31-2005, 11:37 AM

Is this suppose to be like that Jessica Alba naked picture discussion?

Just another nonsense thread...

powerclown · 10-31-2005, 11:41 AM

Sorry 'bout that.

Redlemon · 10-31-2005, 11:42 AM

Yeah, probably best in Nonsense. But the pictures are very cool. The linked graphics are animated GIFs, showing what you actually see as you pass by the picture as it hangs on your wall, no special effects required.

Charlatan · 10-31-2005, 11:43 AM

Those pictures are awesome... reminds me of my own family... except they are scary for completely different reasons.

Just looking at the list of members who are heaping on the accolades should give you an indication in which forum this thread belongs...

far fucking out man.

drewpy · 11-01-2005, 02:33 PM

I'm totally down with it. Thanks. Is "thread" a synonym for "discussion"? I mean, I spend alot of time just readin', learnin' and in general, just experiencin', and with my bad grammar I tend no to discuss ...

According to jargon.net:

Quote:

thread /n./ [Usenet, GEnie, CompuServe] Common abbreviation of `topic thread', a more or less continuous chain of postings on a single topic. To `follow a thread' is to read a series of Usenet postings sharing a common subject or (more correctly) which are connected by Reference headers. The better newsreaders can present news in thread order automatically.

Interestingly, this is far from a neologism. The OED says: "That which connects the successive points in anything, esp. a narrative, train of thought, or the like; the sequence of events or ideas continuing throughout the whole course of anything;" Citations are given going back to 1642!

It is now, perhaps incorrectly, used on bulletin boards as well.

Me? 80% nonsense, 20% gibberish.
