Wow… the stuff you miss in a day or so… > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by BigDaiv \* > \*\*83 pages thats an achievement and a half if the Happy Haiku game gets half that ill be very happy > > **EddyTeddyFreddy** \*\* 83 pages?

If not, it’s still a good joke. 😃 > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by EddyTeddyFreddy \* > \*\*No!!

Odds are that I haven’t looked at it yet, so I’m not even sure which it is. Sorry, **ETF** … at 12:27 PM, I was at a funeral. Actually, I was there from 10 to 3. (funeral service, graveside service, and lunch) > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by BigDaiv \* > \*\*Hey nice one ETF i was trying to say it earlier but that was the time i discovered i hate dialup modems > > so how is everyone?\*\* I don’t know about everyone else, but I am currently kind of tired from the events of the day. Should go to bed soon… especially given that I haven’t slept well the last two nights or so. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Angua \* > **Hello. Matrix Revolutions was a bit of a let-down really, and dragged on for far too long…** That’s what I heard from my friends this past weekend. They didn’t like it as much as the first one or the second… said it kind of really sucked. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by BigDaiv \* > **did anyone else see the animatrix?** Nope, although my friend Nathan has it… and Eric M. borrowed it from him. Has cartoony stuff in there, and makes the whole thing more understandable… or that’s what they say, at any rate. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by EddyTeddyFreddy \* > \*\*I preferred the sensing heads in _Stop Making Talk_. > > Flamsterette\_X\*\* Nope, sorry… at 8:27, I was trying to resurrect ICQ. Didn’t actually get on these boards till maybe an hour later or something… check the post time of my “What Type of Dessert Are You?” thread for an approximate timestamp. (subtract two minutes from there) > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Horseflesh \* > \*\*What about the singing heads in _Eight Heads in a Duffelbag_? > > SanguineSpider scuttles by…\*\* She’s changed her name, you know… don’t know if she still has the extra “S” there, though.

I like the Predict the next poster’s death thread. Death thread? Death rattle. Death pacifier. Death thingy that I can’t think of the name right now but it has a lot of stuff hanging down off of it and a lot of parents make their own out of string (theory) and wire coat hangers and aluminum foil or even real live fish but not live for long because they ain’t breathin’ ay water any more because they’re hanging over the baby’s crib for cryin’ out loud. **BellaDellaItalia** [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/predict-the-next-poster/198832.md?page=167) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/predict-the-next-poster/198832.md?page=169)
