Two lines below the last thread of the past twenty-four hours, at least for the last couple of days, is the single word shorty, calling attention to itself (or himself) by appearing in black instead of link blue. Who (or what) is shorty?
There's a shorty at the bottom of the threads;
There's a shorty at the bottom of the threads:
And I know I've gotta try
To find out before I die,
Who's the shorty at the bottom of the threads?

Shorty is the ghost of a horse that died horribly of overeating. (See People who Didn't Post To Don't Post) There was a thread that was supposed to be Shorty's dinner. It was labeled "Don't Post To This Thread" and was intended to fall quickly down through the forum and shorty was gonna eat it for dinner. Unfortunately, so many people posted to it that by the time Shorty ate it it was huge! Shorty was famished, having waited so long while people delayed its dinner by loading it up with posts. When it finally fell, Shorty ate the whole thing. It was a sad day for all.

BSeed(CharlesKratz),

Shorty is your best friend.

He is the little fellow who makes it possible, cyberly, for you to be in the Mudcat. He is a computer. Having his name at the bottom tells Max whether or not he is in shorty or loki.

Dunno about Shorty. He failed me tonight, but trusty old Loki came through for me.

I know what you mean, Joe. Loki and I have been seeing each other behind shorty's back for several weeks.
