\<timeout\> Ok, as the OP of this, this…whatever, I have a proposal which hopefully will let this thread die gracefully. Let’s see somebody do the whole alphabet in one post.

IOW, do a whole post in alphabetical sequential order like this for ex: **T** he **b** ig **c** at, etc all the way through.

26 simple words.

I will accept the first ten submissions, with no skips.  
Then I will officially ask the mods to retire this nightmare.  
Agreed? (with blessing from the mods of course)

**Z** estfully contributing to this thread is great **swampbear** , but It could go on forever.

Plus, I think doing the whole alphabet in one post would be the ultimate ending to a great, if mundane and pointless thread.
