I've already killed several threads this week. And it was unintentional really.

I can't look at the puppet girl. For some reason she creeps me out.

What about conversational killers? Anyone one of those too? I managed to kill some conversations at work talking about 70's kids shows. :roll:

Thyme you changed your avatar! :cry: You could have least have used a punker tucan picture. I related to the punker seagull, because I look just like that. Well except for the long beak!

The puppet girl looks like an entertaining thing to hit with a baseball bat or a mallet.

I might be a thread killer, but I don't worry about it.

Beckett's 'Company' - is this about someone who notices numbers?

I love the giant girl! The wires move her, so she is like a giant puppet? From the size of the man in the photo, she must be huge! I will have a look on the web for more. That dress she is wearing, must be the size of a marquee, and those giant buttons...wow! :D


yeah, in company, the main character does count, and also other characters do rythmic stuff,
we had it in literature class, and i really loved the book, i told the prof that i suspected it to be about autism and/or AS and he agreed that this was a possibility (i also suspect that he himself might have been on the spectrum, it was the only prof i really felt like understanding, and he didn't look me in the eyes the first year, he was also very logical and correct and the fact that he knew what AS was.)

well, i loved the giant girl, sorry for those that don't feel that way, i was completely charmed by her, she moves very slowly and it gave her a very friendly and observing aspect, she was almost real.

Oh yes, I'm a great conversation killer too. I ususally throw in some remark that so completely misses the point that its effect is like a stun gun!

I love the toucan avatar, Thyme :D I loved punky seagull as well. It's a pity we can only have one avatar, I'd be good if we could have two or three at the same time, lol.

I'm going to order it at the library if they haven't got it in (and they won't, it's a tiny library)
Do you think Beckett may have been on the AS spectrum? I've not read much of his work at all but reading reviews of some of his plays makes me wonder. The way he focusses his attention so closely on a character's thoughts...struck me that he might have been.


I might not be around for a few days, I'm having a small tooth/gum op. tomorrow. I'll be glad to get it done as it's been causing me a lot of pain. Kill a few threads for me while I'm away :)

Don't see no new 'do. Looks like he's balancing a cherry or small plum on his head.
