    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

    Oh, and:

    Night of the Thread

    Dawn of the Thread

    Day of the Thread

    Land of the Thread

    My favorite has always been "The Thread II, The SQL". Sure, it's a bit campy, and the special effects are seriously dated, and those 80s hairdos are pretty laughable, but it just has a certain charm for me. And the part where the guy was in the place and said the thing, that's just too much!

  • I'm right there with you, Gus.

    By the way, Grant, you made a typo... it's "Night of the Living Thread."

    Oh yeah... and "Shawn of the Thread." Hilarious. Made me want to go out and buy a cricket bat.

    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.)

    Then I have done my job by "Reviving The Thread".

    How about Thread Resurrection for a movie title.

  • Thread softly and carry a big pork chop.

    Don't thread on me.

    Give me thread or give set based.

    To thread or not to thread... that is the question.

    "42" has been replaced by "thread".

    Thread not, want not.

    A thread in time saves nine.

    --Jeff Moden


    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
