Sorry guys, the prize committee said we’ve lost funding and now the grand prize is Barbara Streisand pegging you. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We can provide a poster of Paris Hilton with a faked autograph. ---

Good morning, folks. No more storms in MN, ok? It’s cutting into my threadkilling time. So, I am looking for my best threadkiller to date, just to remind you all of my prowess at being completely blah. There’s this classic, [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=8747745&postcount=12](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=8747745&postcount=12) And another.

I just wanted to apologize. I tried to kill this thread, but I ended up knocking the whole website down instead. All I did was post a parody of “I Smoke Two Joints” entitled “I Kill Two Threads” and the board ate my post and then went into a sulk for three hours. I’ll be more careful in the future. I promise. _fingers crossed_ ---

[QUOTE=An Gadaí] How’s it my fault? I was merely pointing out that I kill threads and you guys turn this into the abomination it has become. Gott In Himmel! [/QUOTE] yeah, whatever. That’s exactly what someone who knew it was his fault would say. ---
