Since I kill most threads I post to, I thought I would give you guys a hand. There, that should do it. ---

It’s weird. You know every thread I’ve ever posted to? Well, as it turns out, they all seem to die eventually. Like houseplants. Now, maybe I don’t actually kill them, but I figure I can’t be all to healthy for 'em. It’s just strange that way. ---

Maybe that’s it… maybe we’re like cyanide or something. Kryptonite didn’t really kill Superman, in fact, just weakened him. And we all know weak threads die. ---

At least when we’re all old and grey, sitting in our retirement home, occasionally lifting a rheumatic finger to click on the mouse in front of us to check on this thread, we can tell our grandchildren: “You see that there thread on the SDMB? I actually tried to kill it once…_cough, cough_” ---

Y’all do realize that none of you are going to kill this thread, as “last person to post wins” threads have, as a general rule, a moderator as the last poster, right? ---
