Which clearly would not be a very metal thing to do.

No, that one seems to be a comment on the actual subject of the original thread rather than a pure parody, so I have left it separate.

But doing it would be a bit metal.

8 threads? Is that some kind of thread merging record?

Doesn’t aluminum pit?

First off, I’m looking at you helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon. Oh me oh my, I’m so noble, I won’t react to anything. La de da. Well fuck you. You’re hurting iron’s feelings.

And you, Mr. (or Ms.) T-1000 with your nanomorph mimetic poly-alloy body. Don’t bring an arm that can turn into a knife to a gunfight as the saying sometimes goes. Why don’t you like complex machinery? You need to figure out what you are before you inflict your wrath upon the rest of us.

And you Darth Vader. So dark. So heavy. So brooding. More machine than man they say. Oh yeah? Then why did you turn back to the light side, huh? No one likes a wishy washy Jedi. Commit man.

And finally the Swiss. But I’m not really sure why. It probably has something to do with being neutral and making watches and I haven’t quite figured it all out yet but I’m definitely keeping my eyes on you. You’ve been warned.

No, some time ago someone had a meltdown in the Pit and started a huge bunch of threads. I think I might have merged a couple of dozen then. I can’t recall who it was at the moment.
