Ah, remember the good old days of this thread, back on page 1? When **Harmless** almost killed it on the second day, only to have the thread come back to life on the third day? Man oh man, did we ever laugh!! And remember back on April 19th when it almost bit the big one? Wow, I thought it was gone for sure then! But, as sure as Zombie Jesus is going to rise, it came back to life four days later.

Yea, those were the days …

Yeah, I miss those days too. Good times, man, good times.

Say, here’s an idea! How about we not post to this thread for, say, six months. Then we can bring it back again!

See what happens when you don’t Dope from home? :dubious:  
Speaking of Baby Thread, this a new month…does it still count if we kill it?  
Can we push this into June?  
Think of the possibilities! :eek:  
We could get into the Guinness Book of World records for “Going the Longest with No Life”!

Considering I’m supposed to be undead, it’s almost guaranteed! 😃

I dunno man, this is like the Seinfeld of threads. And look how long it took for THAT to go away.

For the next 22 minutes, anyways. 😉

Say, can you cover the 7-10 shift?  
I’d hate for the thread to die while I’m away. 😃

No, sorry, I already got the 11-7 shift. Then there’s the hour commute home, then gotta watch _American Idol_, then I have to laugh my ass off at part two of _10.5_ (DVR’d it last night). Hmmm…lesse, that should bring us to about 10:30-10:45 or so. I can keep an eye on the thread after that if you like. 🙂
