Cry Havok! And let slip the threads of war! Is that a thread I see before me? A pox on both your threads. Do you bite your thread at me? Methinks the thread doth protest too much. By the prickling of my thread, something evil this way comes. A tale of thread crossed lovers. Out! Out, damn thread! To be. Or not to be. That is the thread. et tu, thread? ---

I just saved this thread from a fate worse then death. (namely, being killed) Which poses the ultimate question. When threads die, do they go to a thread graveyard? ---

I like this thread much better than I like mosquitoes, who have bitten me in 2 places that I apparently missed with the repellant spray. The bites itch like a bitch. This thread does not itch. This thread does not cause West Nile Virus. ---

This post is **not** about this thread. It’s time for a speedbump in this thread…which this post is **not** about. Really, it’s not. I mean it. This post is about anything but this thread. This post is about , er…umm… **A PARROT**! That’s it! A parrot, blue with some red. It can’t talk but it sometimes mumbles. It probably could talk but it is a recalcitrant parrot. Stuck up you might say. No friends. Standoffish. Marginally pet material. It’s sleeping now. See? Not about this thread at all. Just as I said. ---
