View Full Version : Explain This Thread

I wasn't sure how to start this. I was going to say "This thread has no end." However, since it has a defined beginning, (or should I say, since it has a beginning on this site), I can't say this thread has no end. Since that which has a beginning ought to, by definition, have an end, this site would, in fact, possess an end. On the other hand, it could in fact have no end, (much like a ray in geometry), limited only by its beginning. Maybe this would make no sense. Maybe it does. Hard to say. The center does not hold.

If this is the premise, then is there an explanation for this thread? If not, why not?

I decided to keep it simple. Therefore, I left out:

Dried Food.

A 1958 Edsel.

Enya.

Rigatoni with Alfredo sauce.

Final Fantasy.

Nancy Friday.

Rush Limbaugh.

Samuel Smith's Tabby Porter.

Dachsunds.

Crunchy Toe Jam.

As Bill "Crunchy Toe Jam" Snyder sat in his '58 Edsel, watching dachsund puppies through the window of a pet store, he idly listened to Rush Limbaugh and fantasized about Nancy Friday and he playing 'Final Fantasy' together in Enya. He popped another dried apple in his mouth and tried to remember why he had staked out this location.

Samuel Smith's Tabby 'Porter' was in his trunk. He had dug it up from the pet cemetary the other night on a dare, and hadn't paid any attention to the crude misspelling of cemetary with an 's'.

True wordsmithing....I liked it so much I quoted it so it would be there twice.

But the question is: does the thread go on, as Bill sits there staking out those dachsunds? Or does it simply end with Nancy Friday listening to Enya singing as they play Final Fantasy? (BTW, which version?)

Right about now, I think someone should be doing the Time Warp.

The only remaining question is: What happened to the Rigatoni with Alfredo sauce? Rush Limbaugh ate it? :confused: :confused:

I should get out more ....

I can see downtown San Diego and the harbour from where I live, it's the day before the Superbowl and someone has paid for 'the biggest fireworks ever seen West of Mississippi' at 9.15 tonight. I look forward to watch it.

Now, honestly, who ate the Rigatoni? :p

Yeah right, this'll be just like Michael Ende's The Neverending Story - what a hoax that was!

Damn straight! I watched that in the theater. I am no longer in the theater, yet I did not leave the film early. What does that mean??

Bill leaned over, his take home box of rigatoni with alfredo sauce from the week before spilled onto the floor.

Something muffled, moved in the trunk. Suddenly a vaguely feline shape burst through the back seat upholstery and pounced on the rigatoni. It smelled even worse than the old food. The cat was back.

Bill fumbled for the door latch and fell out of the car. He scampered to the sidewalk and looked back. Two sinister, cloudy, rotten glowing eyes watched him from inside his car, then turned their attention back to the rotten food.

Actually I was thinking of the book, but, ok, same thing goes for the movie.

And The Neverending Story II? It wasn't even half as long as the original... no, wait, that's because I turned the it off.

And I must ask... "in Enya?" Is that like Kenya without the "K" or did the band declare itself a country? Or just a location? Or were they actually inside of the band? I'm so confused I must now drown my sorrows in dried food.

Actually, Enya is a drop dead gorgeous Irish chanteuse. I've no idea if she eats rigatoni with Alfredo sauce.

I do know she owns cats...

I need a Samuel Smith's....

All things, when taken together, are this thread.
This thread is what always was, is, and will continue to be.
It is a flame undying, with its measures ignited by its measures quenched.




























"Take home box of rigatoni"? That's absurd!
