Why was the Monty Python/LOTR thread closed?

It doesn’t want to go on the cart! It’s not dead! It’s getting better! It feels fine! The thread thinks it will go for a walk!

It’s just resting.

So what you’re sayin’ is that the thread’s passed on! That thread is no more! it has ceased to be! it’s expired and gone to meet it’s maker! It’s a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! If you hadn’t mentioned it, it’d be pushing up the daisies! It’s internetical processes are now ‘istory! It’s off the page! It’s kicked the bucket, It’s shuffled off it’s mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin’ choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-THREAD!!

And now, with the slightly more obscure reference-
So it is! Here’s some vouchers for your trouble.

If people knew what line that was it would be a spoiler…

Actually, if I may make a meddlesome suggestion, the closed thread seems to have sort of continued here. If it can still spark a few reactions, perhaps it could be re-opened (possibly this thread could be merged with it)? None of my business, really, but suggestions never hurt.

I expect you’re right. I had misunderstood the zombie policy as it applies to Cafe Society. I’ll go do that now.

I hear “This Year’s Model” is available …

Psst, the Poster Soon to be Formerly Known as SpinyNorman… I think you meant to use a slightly different word there.

Or at least, I hope you did.

If you didn’t mean a different word, please don’t tell us more details.

All study of history is a form of necrophilia, or love for the dead.

That actually does bring up a good question. “Philia” is, after all, not supposed to indicate a sexual love.

Well, that really clears up a few questions I had about self-described bibliophiles. I’m a pretty open minded guy, but I never could work out the mechanics of that one.
