Oh, God. I’ve killed 17 out of 137 threads. I guess that’s 12.4%? Buh-bye thread. ---

Everything which has a beginning must have an end. And everything which is round and has a hole is a doughnut. Fin. ---

What about Mobius strips? They have no beginning or end. ---

Bah. You’ll never get me to abandon this, not even by mentioning doughnuts. I’m already glazed and confused. ---

Frankly, doughnuts are overrated. But what I want to know is: how do they unroll them into crullers without breaking the glazed skin? ---

Congrats, **Smooth**. You can pick up the trophy any time you like. Down the hall, and to the left, after the restrooms, through the door marked “egress.” It will be waiting for you. ---

…which reminds me of the guy here who stuck his wedding ring up his nose. I can’t help wondering if Frodo were to have carried the ring in his nostril instead of on a chain around his neck, what would have happened? ---

Or maybe if Frodo had swallowed it, then fished it out every few days, cleaned it off, and repeated… Ok, that might not have made for a good movie that way. ---

Look, you wannabees. There are only a few REAL threadkillers out there. I predict that one of them might be along before long and kill this one too. They are the ones with the “Moderator” thingy by their names, and they hate these threads. (If the past is any indication.) Besides, when threads die a natural death, it isn’t because a poster killed them. It’s because they just wither and die. Like a fish on a dry riverbed. They run out of water and croak. some of us just seem to have the misfortune of being the last one there to see it. Let it die in peace. ---
