Well, since no one else is online, I’ll put this one to bed (and hope that it’s off the first page by morning). 😃 ---

Oh yeah, as the threadstarter, I guess you get a pass too, **Danalan**. And what the hell you mean “put to bed”? Like we _ever_ sleep! 🙂 ---

I just wanted to point out that I’ve been with this thread since the first page. The rest of you threadkillers-come-lately can just go play somewhere else! Of course the joke doesn’t work so well since most of the rest of you jokers have also been trying to kill this off since page 1 also … ---

Ok…general apologies to all long-time players who were not included in my list. I just scrolled through the displayed page and found everyone whos name appeared a few times. Besides, it’s really a moot point if you pay attention to the last line of my post. 🙂 ---

Inspired by **harmless** ’ comment, and in honor of the passing of _Friends_: * * * **AP Entertainment News** – Sad news from the world of message boards – **Hal Briston** , one of the stars of the smash SDMB hit _I Haven’t Killed A Thread All Month_ announced that the thread was coming to a close. “It is with heavy heart that I regretfully announce the end of _I Haven’t Killed A Thread All Month_”, **Briston** was quoted as saying today. “We’ve had a fantastic run, but seven pages is enough. To try and push it for an eighth page just seems like too much at this stage”. Thread creator **Danalan** was falsely quoted as confirming the cancellation, noting “It’s been a tremendous honor to have created this wonderful thread with such an amazing lifespan. The cast was wonderful to work with. I’m really going to miss the camaraderie.” This long-running thread, winner of 12 Dopey Awards, will present it’s series finale in Post #350. Viewers are debating how some of the threads long-running topics will be resolved. Will **nocturnal\_tick** be able to overcome his ellipsis addiction? Will **Lando** finally be able to look past **harmless** ’ undead nature and express his true feelings? Will **kittenlm** finally force **Hal Briston** to sleep on the Evil Guest Bed Of _Paaaain_? And what will become of the wacky neighbor, **Rufus Xavier**? “Damned if I know”, said an anonymous producer. “I just want to get this the hell over with and get back to having a life”. **Danalan** , in a moment of candor, was later misquoted as blaming the cancellation on some of the boards more vocal posters. “Well cripes, how long was this thing supposed to go on? Do you have any idea of the salary demands those bastards were making? A million bucks a post, my ass.” Producers are already looking towards the future, however. Cast member **Ponder Stibbons** is already in negotiations to star in a spin-off thread, tentatively titled _Pondering A Threadkilling Contest_. * * * ---
