I don’t see how this will end, except when it’s closed.  
It’s too popular to escape attention for 24 hours.

well, last time sauron went for head, I mean, the head…urm, in head first (it ate him. We’re not going to discuss how he got aout, although I believe it involved heroic efforts with a spork!).

Anyway, he was covered with thread slime…so I gave him the goose grease to be prepared this time.

Talking of prepared…here’s the snausages for Dire Wolf…how you doin’? Shall I scratch your cute, little, wolfly ears whilst you eat?

You don’t know much about this board if you think sexual innuendo will kill a thread, in fact it makes it grow and it firms up it’s popularity.

And then, to add insult to injury, a _veteran thread-killer_ says:

(Italics mine)

I swear, it’s like I don’t matter anymore. First off, I was the one speaking Shakespeare slang with **Tymp**. **Sauron** has the grease, **Tymp** and I got the babbling, unnecesary speech.

That’s okay, though. That, I can handle.

But, etu, **fierra**? Yes, **Sauron** went into the thread, but I daresay, it definitely didn’t eat him. In fact, it was the completely wrong end. Nay, it was _I_ who was eaten, and sparked the entire spork discussion when I dug my way out. That hurts, **fierra** , that hurts.

Now, I think it is obvious what I must do. I must go off, in self-declared exile, and part from our merry band. A shame, too, since **Dire Wold** just arrived, and **pwill’s** stories were getting good. But, I shall leave our ring around the fire, and wander off into the night to do solo battle with the thread-monster, to prove my honor to all of you.

Farewell, friends. I leave you with this single emoticon to remember me by.

☹

\<adjusts cloak, walks away from fire, spork in hand\>

Alright, thready. I created you, and so help me, I’m gonna…

_ **CHOMP!!** _

Crap.

Fierra sniffs, tearfully…Oh Jester, can you ever forgive me? It was, erm, post-traumatic thread syndrome or something like that…I repressed the memory of my last traumatic sight of you being swallowed by a monstrous thread, but this has brought it all back…

Fierra walks over to thread and kicks its side hard! Give him back you varmint, or I’ll feed you the rest of this goose grease & read you a fairy story so sickeningly sweet that you’ll barf him up!!! I’m warning you…

Some of us have to work.

And while I was at work today scheming up a way to kill this damnable thread, I thought “Hey I am an RN aren’t I?” “Well of course I am”. I replied to no one in particular. And I should use some the weapons I am most familiar with.

Well I found the nearest Doctor and told him of my plight and he wrote me up a whole shitload of scripts right on the spot for all sorts of mean nasty medications to give to the thread. _one_of them is bound to work.

Let’s see what I’ve got Ooooh yessss We’ll start with this.

\> strides right up the beast and smacks him on the snout.(I still haven’t forgotten about that little nip earlier)  
\>when thread-beast opens up his maw to protest, he gets about 10 gallons of something called “go-lyte–total colon cleanser/irritant/laxative/Holy-Mary-Mother-of-God-this-shit-is-viscious” poured down his gullet

Oh shit every body stand back. I know this probably won’t kill him. I just want to make him suffer a bit.

LOOK OUT I THINK HE’S GOING TO BLOW
