Lead Thread

“I figured I'd like to submit a thread to see how quickly it could reach the bottom of the list.

Please respond to every thread besides this one. Thank you.”

“I thought this was a question about fly tying supplies.

Oops -”

“This is dumber than that damn yo-yo thread.”

“oh sorry!”

“d'oh!”

“You guys are missing the point here.”

“What?”

“Phaedrus - aren't you supposed to be working?”

“I thawght the lead story always come first so the lead thread should be at the top.”

“I though this was about Pb.

Is it not?”

“How can you expect this thread to reach the bottom of the list when everyone keeps posting on it?

I expect this one to beat Montanapalooza.”

“Yes, pepper. What would be the fun of posting a thread like this if I wasn't supposed to be working?”

“sorry about posting on this thread.... DOH!”

“Damn, did I hit "submit"? sorry bout that.”

“Hi guys! What's going on!?

Oh.

Oops.”

“Phaedrus is conducting an experiment that requires we not post to this thread.


Naturally, we are posting to the thread. It'll probably go on forever, the Flying Dutchman of TT threads...”

“Lead Zeppelin flying to the top.”

“Rolling Sones are playing in Chicago right now--and I'm not there.”

“er, Rolling STones”

“This thread is as funny as a lead balloon.”

“Lead balloon is not funny if it falls on someone's foot!”

“Sorry, this thread was falling way to far behind. Phaedrus should have known that everyone here is too big of a smartass for this to work...”

“It's not supposed to be funny, just let it drop. Post to the other threads, and this one will be gone quickly.”

“I thought this was a thread about guns on the trail again..plus it ryhmes which is pretty cool..

I like double "oh" buckshot as my lead of choice. What lead do y'all use?

Hollow points get to be a bit interesting at times too....;-)

Tex”

“Isn't that difficult to use for sewing?”

“Stumpy - not if you have a lead sewing machine. I think stalker has one of those new fangled machines.”

“Why would I want to sew lead?”

“The Dutchman swore by Donner and Blitzen that he could beat into Table Bay.

Apparently this pissed somebody off and he was cursed to sail the waters off the Cape of Good Hope for eternity, never to reach the bay.

There is something of a parallel here...”

“Told ya...”

“Get the Led out! I thought this had to do with Mr. Zepplin.”

“How do you get the lead thread to the top?”

“I thought it meant LEAD as in "to lead something or someone." Therefore, it only makes sense it will LEAD ALL THREADS and stay at the top.

You've got bad Vulcan logic, Phaedrus.”

“I give up. You people are very uncooperative, you know.”

“Oh goody, how`d that happen?:)

I was afraid this thread was full of lead.”

“Just your average bunch of LOVABLE AZZHOLES (though somewhat contrary).


Hell, you knew the surest way to reach a new record was to tell this bunch to Not Post, LOL”

“Maybe that's his REAL GOAL....”

“Yeh, ya got me. I was hoping the thread would make it to six or seven hundred posts before anyone figured me out, though. I guess I lack Violin's talent for these subtleties.

Now let this thread die would you?”

“I thought you wanted it to get six or seven hundred post? Now you say let it die?”

“that gilligan's island episode where the meteor landed on the island and they made lead suits to wear? oh man , ,that was awesome!”

“this thread is the same as the yo-yo thread, because nobody will let it reach the bottom.

with that logic, why does the yo-yo thread keep coming back? hmmm...

i'll never understand these things”

“It's like day-to-day life. It bounces between high and low, like a yo-yo, like a lead (pronounced "leed") and a lead (pronounced led) thread (or baloon).

Life just keeps coming back, until one day! 8-0”

“Is this thread back already?”

“The mineral "Galena" is a lead sulphide (PbS).”

“It has a cubic crystal structure.

I... hate you people.”

“Phaedrus, I don't think you really hate us. Let your true feelings out! Go ahead and say the L word!!”

“Loathe.”

“LOL

Nope Try again!”

“Thought this thread was a warning about eating paint chips on the trail.”

“"I loathe, abhor, detest, despise,
Abominate dried-apple pies..."

(and there's more where that came from, LOL)”

“*POOF*”
