Why OPs Are Disappearing- It Isn't Hamsters!

The OPs just vanish. No hamster moves with such speed. No hamster could eat all those OPs and leave no trail.

Let us examine what characteristics the OP-eater must have

1 It must be fast.

2 It must be invisble. For no one has seen it.
Now, what would be fast and invisible and lurking on the SDMB?

It can only be the Invisible Pink Unicorn!

The visible pink unicorn smiley gathered very few votes. Now, the Invible one takes its vengeance. I ask you Dopers, how may we appease it?

 Or is it already too late?

Obviously, we must get a Crystal Gravfield Trap. This will enable us to detect miniscule cloaked masses nearby. Unfortunately, only 3 are in the area…and only two are good targets: the Ubiqtorate base at Tangrene, and the shipyards at Bilbringi.

:smiley:

Yea my breathern, gather 'round for we will soon witness the ressurection!

God has spoken, he has promised that HIS day is approaching, the DAY when all shall be returned!

For is it not written that in our darkest hour, those of us who have lost the WORD will have it returned to us?

All we need is faith, faith my children that these WORDS will be returned to us!


Personally I believe all of those lost OPs will be returned to us all at once causing a lag fest like never before :slight_smile:

Sorry, monster, but Bilbringi was sacked by the Vong.

And I vote for Claymore Paint Mines. While the pink unicorn may be invisable, it is still in physical form, so it can trip mines. Splattered with paint (color doesn’t matter, but should be pink or we could get confused about what color unicorn we’re looking for) we will be able to see it coming next time!

We shall have victory over the Postivorous Invisible Pink Unicorn!

It was a white unicorn until I washed it with my red shirt.

If the OP is gone does that mean all the other posts have be

DHUN DHUN DHUNNNNNNN

Left Behind?!?!?!

If that’s the case, then the OPs must have been taken up in the Rapture, to live in OP heaven. Then there will be seven years of tribulation visited upon the board! :eek:

Nope. Someone came in, struck quickly and lethally, and vanished without a trace.

Alert OJ - we’ve found The Real Killers!

What ever is doing it took an ‘en’ from my first post.

So you blame the Pink Invisible Unicorn? That is what the TIMECUBE would have you to believe!!

BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!

What we need to do is read all the OPs which were taken, so that we can figure out what it goes for and thus bait our trap.

Oh, Gorgon Heap, wouldn’t using claymore mines negate the need for paint? I think we could spot the remains of an IPU. I prefer IR goggles (or should that be IP goggles?) for viewing it - if it’s travelling that fast then it’s got to be generating a whole load of heat, and thus show up rather nicely.

I’ll just go and read through all those missing OPs…

Hmm, what’s this en doing stuck to my shoe?

Well now, perhaps if the IPU has produced some kind of artwork, we can study it and find a weakness to exploit…

  1. It must be very fat by now.

I’m thinking of something vaguely resembling Rush Limbaugh…

Sacked by the Vong? Isn’t that like being caught by the fuzz?

Thank you Gaz Coombes.

Oh, that’s no ordinary hamster! Look at the bones! The teeth!

[/tim the enchanter]

I think someday that all the OP’s shall return in their own thread, and upon reading it, one will find the eternal answer. Yes, THAT answer, that answer we all ask ourselves at some point in our lives.

where the Hell did all my socks go after they went in the dryer?

Have you tried looking on your feet? Or do you just buy larger and larger shoes like I did…

…until I trained my hamsters to eat the excess socks. Mind you, I’ve not seen my hamsters for a few months now.

They’re obviously all written by either left hands or left socks, and are going into corresponding left glove/mitten or left sock heaven.

Duh:)
