OK let me see if I can sum up: Zombie ants: squished. Zombie armadillos versus zombie hamsters: outcome pending That about right? Oh, and harmless, you’re not the only one not being notified. I am also the only one not being notified. 😕 ---

Well, it’s been a long month, watching this thread balloon in size. During that month, I’ve killed two threads. So apparently the whole ‘not being a thread killer’ thing was just serendipity after all, as postulated in the OP. At least I can be sure of one thing – I won’t be the threadkiller for this thread. 🙂 ---

You’ll never get me now that I’ve locked myself in my zombie-proof container. It’s so good it doesn’t even let air in. hahaha _cough_ hahahahaha _cough_ _splutter_ uh oh.

No, no, no…ya don’t count the _mod_ in that case…it’s the last person to post before the mod that wins… At least, if it’s me, that’s the way I’ll be looking at it. 😛 ---

Oh, **harmless** , first you do a “whoopsie” and then in the rush and confusion you manage to cook, season and eat my friend, Stan. Poor Stan. ☹ But I’m fine. I have super “tick” powers. Of flame retardance, and zombie repellence, and some newbie attraction it appears… **Kombucha’ShroomPerson** , this is our territory. I recommend you run now. **harmless** still has some BBQ sauce left. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-havent-killed-a-thread-all-month/239558.md?page=21) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-havent-killed-a-thread-all-month/239558.md?page=23)
