Of course you realize that the Real Thread Killers are the mods, who will eventualy thrust with their Insta-Death-Ever-Sharp-Lance of Thread closing, thus ending this evil monster thread for all time. But which one? And on what day?

I await that day with eager anticipation.

…Yes dears, that’s me weeping. In front of the first money changer you come to when you enter Eqauador on the bus.

Why am I weeping? In Peru, I dutifully learned all the required numbers in Spanish. With enormous difficulty. Approx. 1 through 100.

In Bolivia, to my dismay, the currency changed and we were suddenly dealing in, hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands.

I am weeping here in Equador because I have just learned the local currency is based on millions!

However, the notes themselves are ever so colourful and lovely.

How could you forget  
3. Hi Opal

I have a dog licking my toes.

The effect is somewhat diminished by the fact that he licks his nether regions almost nonstop, but, it proves that my toes are at least as tasty as a dog’s ass.

How many people can say that?

I can mermaid, my dog loves licking my feet…but he’ll lick anyone’s feet who sits still long enough, so it probably isn’t much of a compliment.

pwill - Jester said that when it was closed for lengthiness, he would reincarnate it phoenix-like and quote the last post of the previous incarnation for us to continue.

Oh & mermaid, how could your legs have been tired earlier? or can you convert to legs on land?

We have yet to kill this thread for 3 hours, let alone 24.  
Time for violence.  
Mental.  
My next post will contain as much of the script of A Clockwork Orange as the message board allows a post to contain.  
I will post it at approximately 11 PM EST tomorrow, unless the thread is closed.  
This means someone must win in the next 2.5 hours.  
Good luck.

Didn’t you see the movie “Splash”?

I thought everybody knew it’s feet on the land and fins in the water. BTW This makes it very difficult to walk in the surf.

It’s fins turning to feet and then feet turning to fins then fins turning to feet and so on. It’s neverending, sorta like this thread. 😃

…this, this is Loha, still Equador. Now we were all stuck here because they ran out of visa application forms and we had to stay over night whilst someone scurried to the next town with a photocopy machine and returned with some more.

There was a carnival in this tiny little village that evening and off we went anxious for big fun. As you can see from these photos it was like a journey back into time, like 1930 or so. The tiny, ancient, poorly held together rides were meagre and depressing.

And here you see Mr Elbows and The Obnoxious Auzzie trying their hand at one of the games.

Eventually they broke the bank and walked proudly away sporting a single can of tunafish between the two of them.

That later turned out to be some other fish like substance.

It proved to be quite lovely on crackers.

No\*\* odie\*\*, I think I’m more boring. I’m so boring that I put myself to sleep. I’m so boring I got over 200 posts without anyone noticing I’m even a member.

Guilt trip, ha! No one pays attention my posts,my posts are so boring and stupid that I have killed at least 5 other threads without even tryin’.

Like this one.😃
