She was the inspiration for a thread wherein a _moderator_ shut down an _administrator_. She sows division and strife at all levels of the hierarchy!

Fifteen pages, 700+posts. If you are going to try and thread shit something this massive, you are going to have to try a lot harder.

Well, the Pitted one does know a lot about poop, so you might ask her…

1. This thread has been a lot of fun.

2. I think we all needed it.

3. I like buckeyes–a tasty candy treat for the holidays!  
I must try to incorporate some red food coloring in the buckeyes–I think it would add just the right touch.

**Eleanorigby** , you could probably tint some white chocolate (or use those pre-colored coating chips) and make a drizzle over them.

Maybe **FriarTed** should start a thread asking people to guess when he’ll have his first effective thread-shit here.

In before this thread devolves into some black hole of horribleness and every post consists of a remark on its longness. Oh wait, maybe not.

I love this thread, but it’s not even close to having everything. No goats, no calamari, no Monty Python quotes.

I saw that the “real buckeye necklace” someone posted a link to was only $8. I’m tempted to buy one for each of my vegetarian friends for the holidays.

Hmph. **Klaatu** beat me to the Jack Dean Tyler reference. I even had come up with a great way to tie it in to the thread:

I was going to suggest that Opal keep her engagement ring in her foreskin.

I need a new car. It should be the size of a Hummer, handle like a Porsche, get 50 mpg city, and reatil for less than $38,000.
