[QUOTE=garygnu] I like the sound of “farcical declarative statement.” Perhaps that can be the in-joke. (on a treadmill) [/QUOTE] I don’t think it’ll take off. ---

[QUOTE=QuickSilver] Now look. This is all really quite silly. Listen, strange posters making unsupported claims is no basis for a system of determining ‘the best thread ever’. Supreme executive power to select ‘the best thread ever’ derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical declarative statement. [/QUOTE] Help ! Help ! I’m being repressed ! you saw it didn’t you ? you saw ‘im repressin’ me ! . ---

Shouldn’t the best thread ever have a flame-war between Trekkies and Star Wars geeks. Or Trekkies and Trekkers or Buffy fans and Babylon 5 fans or maybe the great epic “Geek Wars” written to the size of the Iliad and the Odyssey together with a stray blimp thrown in. [Another](http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b127/jrfranchi/Beauty.jpg)[cat](http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b127/jrfranchi/VelcroDiscoversFire.jpg) picture wouldn’t hurt. [I found the Tuber refered to earlier.](http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b127/jrfranchi/pseudotritonruberrubertuber.jpg) By the way Winston, you never left any additional orders Boss.
