a whooosh count keeps track of the number of suckers—I mean, posters who had the joke go right over their heads, thus producing a “whooosh” sound. I count four confirmed whoooshes here. ---

Derivative. It’s been done before (but not yet to death), so I can only give it a 6.5. Now, if he’d found an original way to go south, like maybe goading a moderator into banning him from a single thread, we might have something to talk about… 😛 ---

Well, if _you’re_ leaving this thread, **Scylla** , I feel bound by solidarity to leave it as well. Let us leave this ugly place to the Mennonite rowboat thieves, together. ---

Moderators, please close this thread before **Scylla** posts again thus cheapening his noble sacrifice and utterly suave exit… (You know, like when Phoenex died and then it turned out that Jean Grey was really underwater in that pod… …man, that sucked…) ---

I agree with **sturmhauke**. It’s the farm animals. It must get lonely out there on the farm.(Where’s a sheep smiley, when you need one?) ---

So this is a spoof on all those threads where people make a big deal of leaving? But no one’s really done that lately…people used to but I don’t remember a dramatic thread like that of late. ---
