This evil bitch of a thread will never die and we all know it. The only hope that civilization now has is to send me to Mars with all of the SDMB females so that I may start civilization anew. It’s a tough job but I will selfishly take on the monumental task of keeping the human race going.

Hi, just checkin’ in to see if this thread has passed on.

All the while **Jester** sits back and smiles:D, and marvels at the monster he has created. He is a sick human being, by challenging us to kill a thread, he set forth a feeding frenzy of off the wall thoughts, statements and just pure gibberish.  
Oh **Jester** , pure genius.

“pure genius” my ass. This is nothing but a gratuitous, self-indulgent, let’s see how clever we are, innuendo riddled, knish-covered excuse for a thread. It should be ashamed.

That’s right, crawl back in your hole. Go now…scat!

Will the next person who posts please describe in full detail, with references, why the fickertail prefers the acorns of _Subceiticus Quercus_ over _Anthropial Quercus_? Please do not post here (and waste the time of other beloved posters who await this answer with baited breath) unless you can fully answer this question with helpful diagrams.

Thanks you,
