I think it might be in the next thread. I’m pretty scared. I saw a picture of it and it looks like a big purple think with sharp teeth. I hope no one else posts to this thread because I know that the monster isn’t here, even though I can smell it. HELP!!! ---

“Wait” Said a small childs voice from the middle of the crowd. “If we quit posting then THAT will be the end of the thread where the monster lives. If we keep posting however, then we’ll never end the thread and never have to get eaten by the monster! Don’t you see?!?! Its a trick!!” He said. And all the villagers gave a collective gasp. ---

All right, Elmo. We will go see the Monster at the End of this Book. But just one peek. Listen carefully. You tiptoe around to the bottom of this thread… I, Grover, will stay here. When I say “Turn the Page”, you jump in from the bottom of this thread and I will jump in from the top. We will see The Monster and then we will run like bunny rabbits. ---

Do you like to run and jump and climb trees and put on makeup while you’re up there? \*\* Squirrels don’t wear makeup! Well I don’t anyways. And its blue. The blanket I mean. And even if I did wear make up (which I don’t) how can I frolick naturaully in the wilderness jumping from tree to tree carrying a blanket with me while attempting to put on make up (which I don’t wear) I don’t wear make up in case I didn’t make that clear. _cough_ [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/there-is-a-monster-at-the-end-of-this-thread/86687.md?page=2)
