Ok…going on day 2 of my new life as a non-smoker. I gotta say that this sucks. I’m an irratible, short-fused ass to everyone. I’m going to die much sooner from assasination than I ever would’ve from smoking. The 4 million sunflower seeds that I ate yesterday seem to be having some sort of strike in my colon and I’ll have to wean myself off of the 14 gallons of Mountain Dew induced caffine from yesterday. Good Freakin’ Morning everyone :mad: ---

The weirdest part is that I’m absolutely never short-tempered(while sober). Even my girlfriends puppy pisses me off now. Geez, so this is what it’s like to be a curmudgeon. Ambrose Bierce would be proud of me! ---

Yes, I slept in and I feel great. But, I am a little bummed right now. I have in my cup the last of the coffee in the house. If I want any more, I’ll have to go to the store. Maybe I’ll just switch to latte. Anyway, I’m having breadfast and I have enough to share. Oatmeal with half and half, mixed fruit-apples, oranges, kiwis and strawberry, and home made whole wheat toast (I just love my new Breadman breadmaker) Colon-Blow who needs it when you eat this stuff? \>pats thready on the head, throws an afghan over him, I dunno, he looks a little cold. ---

I’ll have what Thinksnow is having…all I’ve got is some coffee from a restaurant next door that I swear has been sitting on a hot plate since the Reagan presidency. ---

Wow. It’s past the twenty page, 1000 post mark. I’m damn impressed by all of you. Anyway, since this is around where the “Last Word” thread got closed down, I get the dreadful sensation that the mods are gonna come in here pretty soon and break up the party. Now we’re faced with a decision. I know that I already “made” this decision already, but I’ve decided to poll everybody, just to be sure. If/When this thread is closed, shall I take the whole party over to a new thread, quoting the last post and acting as a continuation? Or shall I let the last non-mod-announcement post be the winner? What say ye? (Man, it’s a shame, too. I bet we would have had the “longest thread” title in the bag)☹ ---

:: DW walks in with one of those old-fashioned pump type bug sprayers. On the side is the word “ACME”, along with a Skull & Crossbones :: Just letting you all know that I’ve sprayed down Thready with this highly potent neuro-toxin. I, of course, am wearing a containment suit, as this substance is very poisonous. There are no other containment suits for any of you wise-asses to put on, either. The label says that all living things must avoid the area for at least 24 hours, so consider this a notice to clear out. Do not post, fold, spindle or mutilate…just leave. Now. ---

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? But if it closed, I say be let it die. We are way past the point where it dies a death with dignity. I say when and if it dies, we post a huge party celebrating its demise. We can cut it up and grill it and have a damn fine barbeque. We can post our best barbequed thread recipes. We can have a virtual bonfire, get carried away and get naked and start chanting The thread, the thread, the thread is on fire We don’t need no water let the motherf\*\*ker burn Burn Motherf\*cker Burn The thread, the thread, the thread is on fire We don’t need no water let the motherf\*\*ker burn Burn Motherf\*cker Burn The thread, the thread, the thread is on fire We don’t need no water let the motherf\*\*ker burn Burn Motherf\*cker Burn Hey I’m really starting to heat up here.

Let’s see… my new firewall comes with a neurotoxin filter. And, these robes and stuff convert quickly into a NBC rated hazmat suit. A Saint has to come prepared. 😃 ---

**Mermaid** , I think you’re on to something here: Quote: “We can have a virtual bonfire, get carried away and get naked and start chanting” Why wait until this thing gets closed because it’s length is bogging down the server? Let’s start collecting telephone poles (hey, if you’re gonna have a bonfire, have a real bonfire). That’s the only work we’ll need to do anyway. Getting carried away, then getting naked and chanting is the easy part. Hell, I’ll take my clothes off and chant right now! And I can think of several Doperettes that I’d like to carry away… 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/threadkillers-2001/48015.md?page=52) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/threadkillers-2001/48015.md?page=54)
