Shortest thread EVAH!!!.
Hee.
Whoa, sorry! I’m paying attention, I really am!
I wish someone would let me roll cow-orkers out the door…
Aw, man, it was the shortest thread EVAH! Now you’ve gone and ruined it. 
I really *had * to. I’ve never gotten to be part of a thread title before, so I wanted to bump it back up to the top and wave it around a bit. Wheeee!
I didn’t want to answer this until Dung Beetle had had a chance to see it! I thought it was pretty funny, myself. 
Looks like a Katamari to me.
I really did laugh out loud at that one. That one could be featuring my husband (love ya, Jim!)
Katamari, NicePete? I googled it, but I’m still not sure what that is.
Brilliant. Simply brilliant.
Wow, I love your username. Simply love it.
Katamari Damacy (and its sequel, We Love Katamari) are great but pretty much indescribable video games which involve rolling up various and sundry stuff, people and buildings into gigantic sticky balls.
Well, in that case, that’s exactly what the cartoon was like.
Just for the sake of bumping Dung Beetle’s thread back to the front page in time for Christmas, herewith is presented, at no small expense and effort, this poster’s elementary-school opus, commissioned specifically as an alternative to failing fourth-grade science, titled:
****Our Friend The Dung Beetle
There are many species of Dung Beetle. All of them eat #$@*, and all eventually die, so they satisfy the requirements carved into the bleachers nearest the entrance to the school gym. All dung beetles belong to the order Coleoptera and the family Scarabaeidae. I belong to the family ________ and the order “take out the trash.” That was a joke.
Dung beetles depend on dung, or solid and semisolid animal waste, that usually comes out of the butt, or “hindquarters,” to eat, build their homes, and generally live the dung beetle’s idea of the American Dream. America is the greatest country in the world because everyone in it is free to pursue life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, unlike the commonists who are not free and don’t even get to go to church like we are forced to every Sunday because they don’t believe in God since he decided he likes America best. Our society is best because, metaforicly speaking, our people are like dung beetles and America is full of what the people need.
In conclusion to this 250-word report on the dung beetle, if it were not for them our cows would have to find somewhere besides the fields and meadows to relieve themselves and that would be really bad because I have three sisters and therefore from personal experience I know our great nation’s bathrooms are crowded enough already. Also, dung beetles can be anywhere from a tenth of an inch to almost three inches long.
The End
Shortest thread ever? Hardly. Merry Christmas, friend Dung Beetle.
King of Soup, that was just beautiful, man. {wipes away a tiny tear}. I think you should make it into your sig line, Dung Beetle. To blazes with the “three lines max” rule!
Wow. I’m…I’m…honored. King of Soup, I hope your fourth-grade teacher gave you an A for that one. I’m thinking of having it done in calligraphy and framed.
Thanks. I’m a Tolkien fan from 'way back.
King of Soup, I think with just a little polishing, you’ve got yourself the nub of a Ph.D. thesis there…
