I am telling you man, I am losing it. My God-given faculty to kill threads at will is slowly losing its once mighty aura. Maybe is the Christmas season; I am in too jolly a mood to actually fully concentrate my efforts on anhilating an innocent, little thread. Oh, well…:rolleyes: Oh, before I forget, I must say, thanks!! 🙂 > [@](#): > > [SUB]why did you put it in \<\> if i had to use square brackets?[/SUB] If **Lurker** had used the instead of \<\>, the Vb code would have kicked in and produce [sub]this[/sub]. That wouldn’t have been very informative, since you still wouldn’t have had a clue as to how he did it (unless you quoted him and saw the code for yourself, but I am digressing). To prevent this from happening, he used \<\>, which are not processed by the code, to explain the coding procedure. Tricky guy, isn’t he? Hey, **struuter** , I know it is late but, can I have some pancakes? Please? ---

Did I read that right? First there was fudge and now struuter is serving knishes nude (or with only a robe on, which could quickly become the same thing)?? I _love_ this place! **grabbing a plate, a fork, and the massage oil** ---

Pancakes? You want pancakes? \ Whatever trips your trigger, whatever spreads your cheese. I’ll even warm the syrup. Let’s see a big smile on that charming face. I just want to make it perfectly clear that I am CLOTHED. And anyone who wants it any other way can come and talk to me about it. :eek: I did it again, didn’t I? ---

:: DW goes canine, and roots through the garbage eating all of struuter’s tasty knishes :: struuter, hon, don’t you know there are wolves starving in Albania? Throwing good food out like that. Criminy! For months I have been suffering the throes of knish withdrawal. An emptiness has been in my life (not to mention my stomach) since those carefree days of yore when I was able to regularly chow down on THE absolute tastiest knishes this side of, well, Brooklyn. Realizing all the trouble you go through, allow me to donate this _el grande_ sack of potato flour, along with 20 pounds of onions. My contact lenses protect my eyes from onion gas, so I shall volunteer to chop those onions, if you’d like. All I ask is that you keep me company in the kitchen, and wear this new robe that I bought for you. I got it online at [http://www.The-Emperor](http://www.The-Emperor)’[s-New-Clothes.com](http://s-New-Clothes.com) 😉 ---

You know, a part of me is saddened by the fact that, while other posters are known for their wit, common sense, kindness and unique humor, I am known for knishes and being naked. Oh well, I can live with it. will, you are a true friend. I will, indeed, consider donning the fine outfit you’ve provided–IF it will keep me warm. Goose pimples just detract, you know? Dire…look at you. \ How sweet, how devoted…I’m touched. To go to all this work for me…for my little knishes. \ It’s almost too much. Not you, darling…the ONIONS. That’s a sh\*tload of onions! Damn. \ Just…just go on all of you…talk amongst yerselves… ---

Sorry, guys, this thread is now dead. No one ever posts to a thread after I do. I kill threads just be reading them. I open threads that die of loneliness. No one can kill a thread like I. ---

Please have patience everybody. I will reveal why I called you all here shortly. But I must first find out who is truly dedicated to the proffession of threadicide. I must find those who go that extra step, and don’t just kill a thread, but completely destroy beyond all recognition. Only then, will I be able to reveal the mystery [sub]funny thing is, nobody seems to care about the mystery. Oh, and damn I love this sub-stuff. thanks guys[/sub] ---

I am getting intrigued by **Steeljaw’s** comments regarding the surprising revelation that he has in store for us. What could it be? – **Cecil’s** secret identity? – **struter’s** knish recipe? –Pics of **struuter** wearing Acme’s stealth outfit? 😃 –Is **struuter** really Britney Spears? –A plan to feed starving Albanian dogs? –How did Darth Vader develop asthma? Too much thinking has made me hungry. ## ::goes back to eat struuter’s pancakes:: I see dead threads! 😃 ---

Hey, DW, I could lend you some of that salt water I threatened him with before…you’ll have to help yourself - it’s on the shelf next to the snausages (I wonder how many of them will be there when I get back 😛 ?).
