Geeeeeeezzzzzzz, Chefguy – you joined about when I did, and you’ve got ten times more posts? You thread-hopper, you!
Ya see, when you say it quickly, it sounds like “Eric Thread”. This is called ‘subtle humor’, but there’s no smiley for it, so try to pay attention.
(Sigh) That’s what happens when a slow and literal mind trips over subtlety. Not a pretty sight, is it?
Puff Threaddy, or P.Thread.
What’s a pirate’s favorite thread?
Yaarrrrrn.
And a fiddler’s favorite thread is…
Now, don’t everybody try to answer at once.
When the dread thread Bobbin
Comes hob-and-nobbing along, along
There’ll be no more Doping when he starts Snopesing
What’s wrong, what’s wrong!
Yes, it’s time to take my meds. Yes, I’ll go sit quietly in the corner now.
I think your trying to avoid something Zeldar. Come out with it, what’s on your mind? It isn’t strig is it? Is it? Did your cat do something bad with string and then you weren’t allowed to have string?
Did you have a guitar and break a string? Never learn how to play because of your deep seated fear of string?
It’s OK. We here understand and your coat will only be a little tight. It’s an all weather one by the way so don’t fret.
Hob-nobbing is illegal in Alabama and Virginia, just to let you know. Arkansas has it on the books as a felony but doesn’t inforce it.
String Theory is all the rage.
Thread Theory will unify Relativity and Quantum Mechanics and may bloody well give us God’s number so you can ring him up on the tele.

vl_mungo, was Point a name nomination or a comment on this thread?
This thread hasn’t really arrived yet. No thread can really be THE thread until ** iampunha ** runs naked through it. Those who are really expecting this thread to be something someday are eagerly awaiting this development.
I’m willing to run naked through it if iampunha is unavailable. Such is the sacrifice that needs to be made.

If you’re ever in an accident caused by others, call WIGGUM, **WIGGUM ** and Homebrew.
We’ll either win you case or get you drunk
/hijack
yet I kept it within this thread.
What’s this? Some kind of thread?
(Struggling, struggling mightily, but finally overwhelmed by the Dark Side of the Force):
I can’t control myself any longer. Has no one else realized the perfect name for this thread? Must I cease waiting modestly for another to propose it?
Isn’t it obvious? This thread’s name must be:

This thread reminds me of the first chapter of a book I read recently. The book was called Metamagical Themas, Douglas Hofstadter wrote it, and if it weren’t for the end of this sentence (by which I mean, the part of this sentence after this parenthetical comment), this sentence would contain no direct mention of this thread. The third sentence in this post (which is in this thread), might tell you that Chapter One of Metamagical Themas was all about self-referential sentences (like this one), but then again, it might not. ((Getting all the necessary references out of the way (even though they aren’t really necessary)) this thread, this sentence, this horribly nested parenthetical comment (which reminds me of the programming language Lisp (but that’s a whole 'nother thread))) the chapter contained a story which I think was called something like “This Is The Title Of This Story, Which Is Also Found Several Times In The Story Itself” which referred to itself so often that it was very difficult to understand, not unlike this thread or this post. The previous sentence in this post, which is in this thread, began with an attempt to create a lot of self-reference without much meaning, right from the very first parenthetical comment, just to “get it out of the way” but it turned out that wasn’t necessary (for two reasons), so I left it in, just to make this post (in this thread) even more confusing.
The next sentence is about this sentence. The previous sentence is about this sentence. “When preceded by itself in quotation marks, yields a sentence about this thread” when preceded by itself in quotation marks, yields a sentence about this thread. The person who posted this sentence will be 16 years old, about two hours after this post is posted, and he thought maybe he’d start a whole new MPSIMS thread about that, but then decided to hijack this thread (which still needs a name) and say it here. However, I feel the hijack is justified by all the self-reference. **This sentence[b/] contain a coding mistake, a grammer mistake, a spelling mistake, and one other mistake. Or does it?
A thread by any other name…

Your turn!
So a thread walks into a bar and says, “I’d like a double bourbon, please.”
The bartender says, “Sorry, we don’t serve threads in here.”
(sorry, couldn’t resist.)
And remember, there’s no fee, unless we get money for you.
…in this thread.
