What?! No, **kitten**! We only have 11 (well, 10, now) posts left before this thread comes to an official end! We need those posts for plot twists, last minute surprise guests, and a sweet, sappy ending that’ll tie up all the loose ends. 😛 \<\\> Yeah, **Rufus**! _There’s_ a good solution! 😃 ---

GASP! Breaking news!! * * * **AP Newswire Service** – In a surprise last-minute twist, the producers of _I Haven’t Killed A Thread All Month_ announced today that the thread has been renewed for one more page. “The earlier announcement was _not_ a cheap publicity gimmick”, _IHKATAM_ co-star **Hal Briston** was quoted as saying today. “Quality was always the issue. While it’s true we were hoping to get our salaries raised to one million dollars per post, we’ve decided that the quality and direction of this upcoming page was enough to allow us to settle on the producers suggested per-post salary. Of…ummm…zero”. Thread creator **Danalan** was mistakenly thought to have commented “Pppfffttt. Whatever. Seven pages, eight pages, they’re just going to be repeating the same damn plot lines. Now get the hell out of my office”. * * * ---
