Is is a place or time?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..........

I got a thing too! I have lots of things I call "thing" or "thingy".

I can't believe you don't know what a "thing" is...

Yeah, but I think that Artex's "THING" is different....

The thing can only be revealed to a TT'er in person or perhaps over the phone. To talk about it otherwise will only jinx it. However, it's not hard to figure out what I'm talking about. Having said that, I will neither confirm nor deny any hints on TT as to what it is.

Live for the thing.

"The Thing" is Artex's favorite DVD: "Dances with Boars"

No, Artex's favorite DVD is "The 13th Warrior"

My favorite is "Emmitt Otter's Jugband Christmas"

Lo, there do I see my mother, and my sisters, and my brothers, Lo, there do I see the line of my people, back to the beginning, Lo, they do call to me, they bid me take my place among them, In the halls of Valhalla, where the brave may live...

The "Thing" has been revealed to moi via live and memorex. It ain't at all what it's cut out to be. In fact, it's smaller than a breadbox. Ummmm.... somehow that statement sounds very wrong.

With all that said, I can confirm what Artex's "World" is. He lives and dies for ABBA. They are his World, which puts shame to the "Thing." a close second is 4 Non Blondes.

Pennsy you have movies about Artex's thing? And you have seen it in person!

That is just wrong in so many ways!

We really should close this thread out permanently. All this talk can only jinx THE THING.

If the "thing" is a ring, and you already spent the bling-bling, of the HMWHtr's, you shall become a dethroned king.

I'm not exactly certain, but I've heard Artex talk about this more than once, both in person and on TT. I think the thing has more to do with a certain set of circumstances, a vision, a goal...a life choice.

I could've sworn that someone else on TT has a thing also. For some reason I remember pink thing...who was that? Liz or who??? (thought it was liz, but I am not sure)

Things are pretty popular. Can't belive you don't have one!

The 1951 or the 1982 version?

Be forewarned, there are 130 other variations on that title along with 18 TV-movies, 11 direct-to-video, 14 TV series and 1 video game.

How about... "Frank Sinatra: Francis Albert Sinatra Does His Thing"? LMAO
