What exactly is a "this rock keeps tigers away" kind of thread?

(And please include in your definition something more than just saying "This thread")

It's a Simpsons reference. Lisa tried explaining to Homer the nature of magical thinking by saying, ". . .that's like saying that this rock keeps away tigers. You don't see any tigers around here, do you?"

Oh....

By the way:

Did you realize that Tinkerbell herself had already killed a fairy when she told Peter "Everytime you say I don't believe in fairies..."..... see, she just said it!!

That assumes that it counts when a fairy says it, which is unknown. It's magic in a fictional world, so the most you can hope for is that it's internally consistent.

Yeah but actually I did the research and I found out who the girl is. Some woman by the name of Julia Roberts. Actress. She has been on many movies, including one with the guy from "Mr Jones". Yeah. She's no fairy. She's a fairy killer. That's what she is.

By the way, I don't believe in fairies.

I'm sorry, but this thread has a point. It in fact has two points:


One: To kill all fairies

Two: To challenge woos and anyone who believes in fairies to either prove me that I'm indeed killing fairies, or then again to find a way to stop me... if they think they can.

This thread reminds me of an episode of "Notorious" I saw the other day. It was about a former football star who suffered from both schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Eventually, he killed a couple in a parking lot in hopes of getting the electric chair, because he didn't have the nerve to kill himself.

At some point before the murder, he took a radio station hostage and demanded airtime. He said that God talked to him personally, and told him to get on the radio and tell everyone that there was no God...

I breed faeries. You can't detect them in any way, but I'll sell 'em to you for $10 each. For $20 each I'll sell you some that are engineered with phoenix-DNA, so they just come back to life everytime some disbeliever kills them.

[Radrook]

I once attended the Miami Chess Club in order to play a serious game of chess. My opponent turned out to be a young man who appeared dead-serious on proving he was an outstanding player. All seemed normal until the first few moves. Then he began chanting Na na na na na naaaah! Na na na na na naaaah! Na na na na na naaaah! whenever it was his turn to move a piece. When it wasn't his turn to move a piece he'd whisper: Na na na na na naaaah! Na na na na na naaaah! Na na na na na naaaah!

He was about twenty-five years old and apart from his obsessive need for incessant chanting gave no indication of any other mental aberration.

-Streamlet (who'd play Changeling if blessed with RPG skills)There are no difficult skills to learn - anyone can play RPGs. You did when you were a kid. So did everyone.

If saying 'I do not believe in fairies' kills a fairy, does saying 'I do not believe in gods' by the same logic kill a god?No, because the fairy folklore states that every time someone says "I don't believe in fairies" (one down), a fairy dies. The god folklore doesn't include a parallel clause to the "I don't believe in fairies" (two down) clause in fairy folklore. Saying "I don't believe in fairies" (three down) only works on fairies because no other mythological being includes a "I don't believe in fairies" (four down) clause.

Oh, and by the way, I don't believe in fairies.

Five.

[AnotherSillyAlias]

Obviously fairies don't exist, especially now that you lot have killed them all by your thoughtless disbelieving, but what about psychic pixies, I'm sure they must exist, somewhere.

That's like asking "if a fairy is flying in the middle of the forest and a tree falls on her and there's no one there to witness it; did the fairy die?"

[Prometheus]

If there's no one there to hear it, the tree makes no sound; one hand clapping also makes no sound, so they effect should be analogous. But since there's no one there to witness the event, we can never no what the effect might be.

Ahem, I think ultimately what this reveals is the real psychology behind the statement. "Everytime you say I don't believe in fairies, a fairy dies" is a way of saying "Everytime you reaffirm your disbelief, you are killing another part of your inner child" which if taken literally is completely not true. But I know what they mean. That's why Peter's character in Hook is this cocky, arrogant, stressed lawyer who has forgotten how to be a child and blablabla. Of course, the topic of whether he is a skeptic or a superstitious guy is kind of irrelevant. We're talking mainly about keeping the inner child which most of the posters here seem to do, judging by their creative sense of humour.


That being said, I would just like to add: I don't believe in fairies (another one down)

Dagnabbit!!! Stop it already!!!
Dead fairies have been falling out of the sky all week....and now I have a yard full of them!!!:mad:

Fairies don't smell. You must have gnomes.

[articulett]

Right. If they stink... they're gnomes. You definitely have dead gnomes all over your yard, OTC. You can tell the difference by the red cap. Fairies don't have them and they usually have wings (though wings are the first body part to disintegrate upon death, I hear)

ETA-- or it could be dog poop... that can stink up a yard too.

Freddie Mercury, the hippest fairy that ever lived.

Wait a minute, I've been saying I don't believe in fairies and he's dead.



... Oh my God, I killed the poor bastard.

[articulett]

that's exactly what I was thinking as I posted that...

The only consolation I can offer is that he died long before your utterance... but given that the fabric of space time as been punctured due to Tricky's dividing by zero, it could have caused a retroactive death--

Please excuse me while I have a brain seizure as I'm trying to figure that last one out.

[articulett]

Jeez... I hope you're not a fairy or anything--

[Prometheus]

Jeez... I hope you're not a fairy or anything--

If anything, I'd expect a gnome....

[Ateius]

That's like asking "if a fairy is flying in the middle of the forest and a tree falls on her and there's no one there to witness it; did the fairy die?"

Fortunately, I don't have to worry about philosophical questions like this, because I don't believe in fairies.

[Ron_Tomkins]

I believe you have killed another one just now.

[Ron_Tomkins]

Are you calling me short?

Cause I am.

You got a problem with that?

[Ateius]

I believe you have killed another one just now.

Can't kill what doesn't exist. I don't believe in fairies, remember? ;)

[articulett]

Do you wear a red hat ever?

[Ron_Tomkins]

Can't kill what doesn't exist. I don't believe in fairies, remember? ;)

They don't exist because you have killed them all, duuuuuh!!!!!

[Ron_Tomkins]

Do you wear a red hat ever?

Why? Is that like a turn on for chicks?

[Prometheus]

Are you calling me short?

Cause I am.

You got a problem with that?

No, in fact I'd like to offer you a position standing in my garden.

[Ron_Tomkins]

No, in fact I'd like to offer you a position standing in my garden.

How much?

[Ateius]

How much?

Whatever he offers, I'll double it.

But I still don't believe in fairies. :p

[articulett]

I think you ought to wait until you find out if he wears a red hat. He could just be a leprechaun you know.

[OldTigerCub]

Right. If they stink... they're gnomes. You definitely have dead gnomes all over your yard, OTC. You can tell the difference by the red cap. Fairies don't have them and they usually have wings (though wings are the first body part to disintegrate upon death, I hear)

ETA-- or it could be dog poop... that can stink up a yard too.

No red hats. Definately fairies...although I was mistaken about the smell. Just my neighbor's garbage.
As a side note, there was one that was just stunned....the real Tinkerbell, I think...(she was tiny, but still hot...in a cartoony sort of way) and I was going to nurse her back by clapping...but my cat ate her...oh well.....:rolleyes:

[articulett]

damn cats...

(I wonder if I'm "hot" in a cartoony sort of way...?)

[Ron_Tomkins]

damn cats...

(I wonder if I'm "hot" in a cartoony sort of way...?)


You are.





..... in a cartoony sort of way.

[Prometheus]

If cats can eat fairies, then perhaps we can too? This could be a new and potentially unlimited food source. I'm gonna disbelieve me some fairies and whip up a batch of chili...

[Aepervius]

I don't believe in bigfoot (just trying ;) ....).

[luchog]

I used to live in Capitol Hill in Seattle. Of course I believe in fairies. Living about a block from The Cuff, a local leather bar, I didn't really have much choice. It's amazingly how painful getting beat down by a non-existent fairly in tight leather pants can be. And how erotically stimulating.

[Ron_Tomkins]

I don't believe in bigfoot (just trying ;) ....).

You might have killed him, but then again it's Invisible Bigfoot so it's kinda hard to tell.

[Prometheus]

Don't read this: I don't believe in you.

[arthwollipot]

Don't read this: I don't believe in you.I read it. I didn't die. I don't believe that saying "I don't believe" actually has any direct effect on mortality at all.

Except where fairies are concerned.

[Prometheus]

You must have not read it loud enough.

[Ron_Tomkins]

You must have not read it loud enough.

Maybe if you wanted us to read it out loud enough, you should have put exclamation points, don't you think, Prometheus?

[Prometheus]

Maybe if you wanted us to read it out loud enough, you should have put exclamation points, don't you think, Prometheus?

Do you think I want everyone to die?

[Naughtyhippo]

Does reading all the posts count as killing fairies or do I have to read it out aloud? Is my mental voice a fairy killing machine?

Only for mental fairies.

[rjh01]

I! don't! believe! in!! fairies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know they exist.

[Prometheus]

Oh great, now you've gone and killed off all the red fairies and the green ones have no competition to keep them in line.

[Ron_Tomkins]

Do you think I want everyone to die?


Hmmmmmmmmmm..............


Oh great, now you've gone and killed off all the red fairies and the green ones have no competition to keep them in line.


Oh I see..... (you wanted the green ones dead)
Ok... *taking notes*

[Prometheus]

I don't believe in note-taking.

[Ron_Tomkins]

I don't believe in note-taking.

Great. You've just killed my notepad with all the other information I had in it. Thank you, thank you very much.

Now if you could just clap, we could get this over with.

[Prometheus]

I don't believe in clapping.

[Gord_in_Toronto]

I don't believe in clapping.

Well, if you did, there is always peniciliarium. AKA "fairy dust".

[Ron_Tomkins]

I don't believe in clapping.

Not gonna play ball, are you?

Ok, how much money are we talking about here?


Oh, let me guess.... you don't believe in money either?

[articulett]

Well, if you did, there is always peniciliarium. AKA "fairy dust".

He said "clapping" not "the clap". I, myself aim to eradicate "the clap" by not believing in it.

I don't believe in Forever, or love as a mystical state.
I don't believe in the 'Stars and the Planets', or angels watching from above--
But I believe there's a ghost of a chance that we can find someone to love
And make it last..."

You realize with all the "I don't believe in fairies" and the clapping and the hole in the space/time continuum, you have retroactively created Jerome the Gnome, right? :(

[figarot]

it's not saying you don't believe in fairies that's meant to kill them, that was just used for some silly kid's movie. the old myth is that if everytime you use a candle to light a cigarette, a fairie dies. don't know where it sprung from but it's been around much longer than that silly movie.

And yet he was banned recently.
