what voodoo funkiness? Hi Pink. I think that attack suit would look good on you. It’s got a nice, white poplin shell that will really compliment your color. G’head, try it on! Lnix? Could you do me a huge favor? Would you be a pal and hand this mirror to the thread? Thanks. Tymp, you wouldn’t tease me like that, would you? **Live** chickens? There _was_ a full moon last night, ya know. I may have reverted back to semi-human form today, but my folloicles are still tingling, and my teeth haven’t fully retracted. _licking chops_ _rubbing hands in glee_ “…damn, i’m out of glee…” _rubbing hands in axle grease_ ---

I bet you all forgot about me didn’t you? Let’s see all it took was 15 days of trouble with my phone line and lots of well planned waiting and victory is indeed mine. This beautiful corpse and I thank all of you. We couldn’t have done it without you. _congratulates self for using misfortune to her own advantage_ ---

What the hell you talkin about, Mojo? The thread isn’t dead. It just likes to take long naps on the weekends…Much like myself… ---

Hi pwill, glad you’re still alive. Feeding the thread vb & lnix might work - do you think it can get food poisoning? Uh, oh, too late, I just heard a mirror break… … … 7 years of bad luck for lnix then, oh, hang on, I don’t think lnix will live that long… yugh! What a way to go, that thread just smashed it’s head down on lnix & there’s a little red spot (ok, big red spot) on the floor…when you clean up after the chicken sacrifices tymp, do you think you could um…take care…of lnix? ---

No, no, no. This is exactly what I was trying to avoid. You guys are going to have to let these guys go, you know. You can’t feed them to the thread. That’s just silly. I mean, if they WANT to go in there and talk/fight with it, power to them. But we can’t feed them to it. Here. Have some breakfast. I brought everybody’s favorites. Lots of good, hot coffee too. VB, Lnix, you have some too. Good morning all, nice to see you. ---

Having just got here…where’s the thread Jester killed? Can we revive it? ---

Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…guys? Is it just me, or, is the thread not exactly, uhmmmmmmmm…moving? See, if you’ll look up about 5 posts, you’ll notice that particlewill posted a reply at 9:50 pm on 9-15-00. The next reply, mojo’s, came in at 4:00 pm on 9-17-00. I hate to say it, but it seems that more than a day elapsed between posts, and, well, we have a winner. PARTICLEWILL!!! Wow. I’m still in shock. It’s been 9 friggin pages, and I didn’t think this thing would ever die. Well, at least it didn’t have a painful death by a bad post, but instead died peacefully in its sleep. I think that we should all take time to mourn its loss, then have this thread closed. So, get your last replies in folks, this, I think, is the end. Oh, I almost for got to issue all of these to you… \ Wear em on your sigs, or just lock em away, they’re yours, no matter what. Well, guys, it’s been a blast, and I will soon begin a thread congratulating our story weaving friend in the SDMB public eye. Thanks for the memories, you guys. ---

Nooooooooo! You can’t do that! We’re (I’m) having too much fun! (surreptitiously pockets badge anyway just in case) Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! If you lock the thread Jester, I’ll divide by zero & you KNOW what will happen then! ---

No, no, feel free to post for a while. I figure that I won’t officially ask to lock the thread till at least all of you have had time to pay your last respects. It’s been fun, and I wouldn’t wanna end it THAT suddenly. ---
