    First there was.... "The Thread".

    Then came the "The Son of Thread".

    The Other Thread

    Revenge of The Thread

    Return of the Son of Thread

    Return of the Revenge of the Son of Thread

    The Incredible Two-Threaded Monster

    Godzilla vs. Thread-ra

    The Silence of the Threads

    Abbott and Costello Meet The Thread

    Threadhead Chicks Gone Wild

    300 Spartans and a Thread

    Batman... the Dark Thread

    Remember: In a thread... no one can hear you scream.

    You totally missed:

    Bride of the Thread

    Blood of the Thread

    Children Shouldn't Play With Threads

    And the French take-off on the the Thread: Ennui

  • if the THREAD starts to approach 5000 posts, I'm going to hunt it down & kill it

    Somewhen in the robotic apocalyptic future they are assembling a Threadinator with Grant's name on it. :w00t:

    You can't fight it, Grant. Your last post only served to make it stronger!!

    I wonder when this thread will have more posts than me?

    We are all posts to all pages! We are The Thread!

  • Lynn Pettis (4/15/2009)


    Bob, did you notice? We should hit 3500 posts soon!

    Our power is growing!

  • Bob Hovious (4/15/2009)


    Bob, did you notice? We should hit 3500 posts soon!

    I'm not going to get all excited again until we are approaching 5K πŸ™‚

    I've been trying to do more answering and less blabbering. :Whistling:

    I wonder when this thread will have more posts than me?

    Steve: Resistance is futile. All will be assimilated.

    All have already been assimilated! We are The Thread!

    Hey Barry, I can't keep up with the comments on your article anymore. If it keeps up is might catch "The Thread".

    219 posts on Barry's article thread currently. That's sort of a light snack for The Thread.

    Sure, but I checked it last night at about 11 EST and there were over 30 posts when I checked my email this morning. That's pretty good.

    No, you're just imagining things. Go back to your pork chops.

    The Thread has (as I write this) 28 posts in the last five hours. This makes 29. Of course, judging by the last page or so, it looks like The Thread is trying to pad its own stats a bit, so that may not count. Or maybe it counts even more. (I guess I should be diplomatic about that. Wouldn't want to upset The Thread.)
