This is like following a chain of B-Movie horror films...
First there was.... "The Thread".
Then came the "The Son of Thread".
Future Titles
The Other Thread
Revenge of The Thread
Return of the Son of Thread
Return of the Revenge of the Son of Thread
The Incredible Two-Threaded Monster
Godzilla vs. Thread-ra
The Silence of the Threads
Abbott and Costello Meet The Thread
Threadhead Chicks Gone Wild
300 Spartans and a Thread
Batman... the Dark Thread
Remember: In a thread... no one can hear you scream.

You totally missed:

Bride of the Thread

Blood of the Thread

Children Shouldn't Play With Threads

And the French take-off on the the Thread: Ennui

if the THREAD starts to approach 5000 posts, I'm going to hunt it down & kill it

Somewhen in the robotic apocalyptic future they are assembling a Threadinator with Grant's name on it. :w00t:

You can't fight it, Grant. Your last post only served to make it stronger!!

I'm not going to get all excited again until we are approaching 5K 🙂
I've been trying to do more answering and less blabbering. :Whistling:

Steve: Resistance is futile. All will be assimilated.

All have already been assimilated! We are The Thread!

How could I have forgotten "Bride of the Thread?"

I LOVED Kate Beckinsale in the last remake. 😛

Hey Barry, I can't keep up with the comments on your article anymore. If it keeps up is might catch "The Thread".
219 posts on Barry's article thread currently. That's sort of a light snack for The Thread.

Sure, but I checked it last night at about 11 EST and there were over 30 posts when I checked my email this morning. That's pretty good.

No, you're just imagining things. Go back to your pork chops.

The Thread has (as I write this) 28 posts in the last five hours. This makes 29. Of course, judging by the last page or so, it looks like The Thread is trying to pad its own stats a bit, so that may not count. Or maybe it counts even more. (I guess I should be diplomatic about that. Wouldn't want to upset The Thread.)
