The thread was never kidnapped. It vanished itself on its own, then came back.

good, I'm glad things haven't fallen apart while I was away. I was really worried someone would try smarting up my thread while I was gone.
No we've got another member, Bicycletree, who sees to it that won't happen. :biggrin:

The Boojum bakers of PF. Their motto is: "Give us anough dough and we'll get it to rise." :wink:

They sought it with thimbles, they sought it with care;
They pursued it with forks and hope;
They threatened its life with a railway-share;
They charmed it with smiles and soap.

Cool. Could you just hit the restart button while you're out there? Thanks. :smile:
 
  • #2,216
The restart button? I'm afraid I don't get it.

Anyway I'm already vanished. I'm the thread ghost!

Darn, now I have to get out and push the restart button myself. Darn 15 minute time limitation on the hot tub.

*arrives with pliers, wire cutters, wire nuts and assorted screwdrivers*

I think we can override that timing device. Okay little franzbear, hop in the tub while we work on these wires and let us know if we do anything that might electrocute someone in the hot tub.

*starts working on wiring*

Oops, guess I shouldn't have crossed those two wires. :bugeye:

You didn't hurt the hot tub did you?
 
  • #2,220
I figure a good way to kill something is make it a tourist destination, so I'm going to build a luxury hotel right next to Boojum Heights and throw in gambling.

I didn't break it. It's just a little warmer than recommended. :rolleyes:

Casino? Are you crazy? Do you know what sort of low-lifes casinos attract? :rolleyes: Darn, they're already here!

I can't find an appropriate smiley. I'm giving you that look that says I don't believe you but am contemplating letting you slide since it was a good try at saving face. I need a skeptical smiley. :-p

How about ( :smile: :confused: )?

To be truthful, though, I'm doing this :smile: behind your back. :devil: :biggrin:

Urrm, hole, Brewnog, digging. Older, wiser, mature, more experienced... it's getting deeper. ARGH! Help!

We've already caught young franzbear masturbating. He was a little embarrassed at first, when we walked in on him and all, but then we sat down and had the talk, and I think he's okay now. It's tough on the little fella, being the only thread so mature for his age, and with so few female threads around. :frown:

Given his true origin (#3376), one can expect him to have an affinity...

It bears a striking resemblance to the logo on the back of one of my pool team shirts. We had to call ourselves The Humpin' Geckos because the announcers in Vegas wouldn't call The ****in' Lizards to the table over the PA system. :biggrin:

That's just a myth perpetuated by the non-believers who are going to Hell when the polar ice caps melt and turn Vegas into a beach resort. Peace. :cool:

That's the sorriest excuse to cover for a thread-addiction that I've ever heard. (I'll have to borrow it some time.)
