My poor Honey and Cat post.
One moment it was a happy little carefree post about cats doing impressions
of Labradors, the next minute it had regressed to old quarrels in one corner
and a ... holy cow am I reading that right.... a Toad Suck Festival (???)
in the other corner
Let's here it for the Internet! Bowl of cream anyone?
TBird <---still wondering who told Pentax they are the official digital
camera of the Internet....

ROFL, dude....you forgot to mention the KKK and the wiccan/pagan debates.
Hopitus leans toward the opinion of some old man who historically stated
that he had never got in trouble by keeping his mouth shut......except, of
course, for bragging about the ever-appealing Evil 3 here.

LOL! I was thinking about that, too. But it happens a lot around here.
Nobody changes subject lines, so even if a long-lived thread seems
uninteresting to you, it might be worth popping in from time to time,
because you never know what people might actually be talking about!

Good question TBird. I have been wondering that myself.
One thing about threads in this place, it's like a good conversation
among friends. It can veer in any direction and sometimes in multiple
directions at once.
I tend to think that this group is like a convention. On one side are
the "there I was" stories, advice is being asked for and given in the
far corner, recipes are being exchanged over by the buffet table, and
kids (kits in this case) are running rampant around every ones' feet.
The general hubbub is loud, the music cacophonic, and the food varied.
Of course, it usually is a lot of fun in here, but it can have it's moments.

That's why I very rarely kill threads, apart from those of the "Britney
Spears buck-nekkid at the Toad Suck Festival" ilk.
Is the Toad Suck festival going to enter RPCA mythology perchance?

My other ng, alt.tv.frasier has had some historic threads. The
craziest one incorporated a fictional production of "King Lear,"
leather garments, and green M&Ms. I think it's a mark of a good ng
that you just let these threads go where they will, and let one
thought spark another. Drove some other people crazy, though.

I'm a regular contributor to a "name that tune" thread on a newspaper
talkboard. It's been going, in various incarnations, for about two
years now, and has developed its own lore - so much that when the thread
had to be restarted, the starter kindly posted a mini-FAQ for the
benefit of newbies. Turning pink on a Japanese beach, schnapps and
earwig chutney might frighten off some people!

Earwig chutney would definitely frighten me off. :) I love it though,
that there's a FAQ for a single thread!

Like a certain other thread I could mention, it seems to have developed
its own sort of religion as well!
