The meeting at Genco Olive Oil Co. gathered heads from various families to address the ongoing issue of a problematic thread, referred to as the "thread killer champions thread." The Evo family was designated as the moderator, emphasizing the need for cooperation and respect among the families. Discussions included potential methods for permanently ending the thread, with some members suggesting creative and humorous approaches, including bribery with chocolate. Despite the lighthearted tone, there was a serious undercurrent of mistrust among families regarding who should handle the thread's demise. Ultimately, the consensus was to agree on a time for the thread to be locked, while acknowledging the challenges posed by its unexpected revival.

We wouldn't have to hunt if you'd listened to me in the first place. The next time I tell you to Lojac the sucker, don't laugh.

(wish I was awake enough to think of something clever)

Wait, I'm trying to decipher the message...it says... if you be wantin' yer precious thread back, Artman must make up another song

PS - won't be hurtin' you none if ye be throwing in a few of Moonbear's flourless hazelnut tortes

Well, there you have it. The future of the "Thread Killer Champions" rests in the hands of Artman and Moonbear. :bugeye:

The internet is full of booty to pilage! Why our thread, there's no booty in there. It's virtually booty-free.

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:


Trying the crying again.

So, if I'm reading this right, Moonbear and I could have a joint kill of the Thread Killer Champions thread, just by doing nothing. :rolleyes: What do you think Moonbear? Share the Thread Killer Champion title? :devil:

Artman, get on that song! Yo ho ho, it's a pirate's life for me!

Don't let that stop you; I never do.

Perhaps J.Lo could donate some of hers...

It's alright, I just needed time. The song is ready. Where's the thread? We need some proof that it is still alive before I post the song, maybe you can send us one of it's fingers or something. I need some instructions for making the trade. Maybe another thread explaining the terms.

Alright, the thread will reappear, but it has dynamite strapped to it! If the song doesn't show up, the thread will be detonated.

New information has just reached my ears. Information dat should have come from udder sources, sources which we pay good money to bring us such information. I'm very disappointed in those sources and have given orders for them to be...let's just say removed from the payroll.

<Ratta tat a tat aaat Rat ta TAT>

Dere, dat's done.

Now to the business at hand. The new casino going in over at Boojum Heights. We want our fair share of dis action. Dis casino is now a family owned enterprise. Understand?

I don't want to be disappointed again.

As long as you can agree on that, you should be okay (well... as okay as you can be...) :rolleyes:
