Welcome to......
Kill This Thread XXX
The following rules were established by Kent Shakespeare at the start of the first 24-hour version, adapted from the original rules by EDE:
The rules:
1. The Basic Idea: Post to this thread, if no one posts after you for 24 hours, you win!
2. Posts that are not direct responses to one of the five preceding posts are ineligible to win. The topic can drift, but no complete non-sequitors. Posts that are responses to non-sequitors are also ineligible to win. Posts that are responses to responses to non-sequitors, and response nses to those posts, etc., become eligible, however.
3. In the event that this thread is locked, there shall be no winner unless a new thread is started for the contest. Furthermore, any post that results in the banning of the poster shall also be ineligible to win.
4. So, more precisely, one wins if one makes a post, and then no one makes another post that's eligible to win for 24 hours.
Here's a history of our various felons, along with a few missed opportunities.....

Well, what did you win then?

Oh, I misspelt it. I meant to say, "I one." I've been getting high on my uniqueness.

If all three of you are saying it either way, as you did in the OP, you're from Carrg.

Speaking to school friends, we can still make the sounds of computer game cassettes loading on our systems.

"Dial M for Murder" is a fantastic Hitchcock movie.

I have a cousin named Christy,
The only character in all of literature who has been described as "badnass" while using the phrase "vile miscreant."

Christy Marx, creator of "Jem and the Holograms" and writer of some of the best episodes of "G.I. Joe" and "Spider-Man 1981," also wrote an excellent comic book titled "The Sisterhood of Steel."

I'm a decade older than my husband. One of the areas where this shows is in our taste in cartoons. He's a big Jem and the Holograms fan. I watched with him and said, "Okay, this is the '80s version of Josie and the Pussy Cats."
