Don’t take it at surface value; the thread is clearly a thimble for something far, far deeper. ---

> [@Knowed\_Out](#): > > So the reason Monty has carried a grudge against Opal all these years is because of a _threading issue_? No, it’s because he and everyone else like him (which includes YOU because yes) (you know who else you are just like?) (HITLER) are genocidal maniacs who deny WMDs raped global warming while Bill Cosby strangled kittens. ETA: I’m so sorry, don’t know what came over me there. This thread has NOTHING to do with kittens. Also $SOME\_QUIP\_ABOUT\_SEWING. ---

I know you guys are having fun, but making all these sewing puns rather than discussing serious topics like Bill Cosby’s weapons of mass destruction really shows what is so wrong with the fabric of society. ---
