Ah-hah! With the launching of this thread, an aching void in cyberspace has been filled! We must ensure that this thread reaches as many posts as the MOABS in order that it may be a suitable consort for the MOABS. Then they can mate and produce little BS threads by the millions. Isn't it great?

There is a consensus -- Well, it's not really a consensus because there are only three or four people who believe it, but it's damned well a consensus among them -- that the Father of all BS Threads is last year's Happy Birthday to Spaw thread which grew to 404 posts and stayed on the page for over two months. No mean feat considering that a birthday generally only lasts 24 hours.

HEY! Isn't it about time for Carol the Sailor to fuck up and start this year's Spaw's Birthday Thread two months before the actual event???

LH - there only needs to be one Motherthread - I suspect that, like fleas, once impregnated, they lay thousands of eggs. We have had the first Motherthread, where else do you think all these BS threads came from?

To suggest that a child of Motherthread could become greater than its parent leads me to think you have an Oedipus complex and should seek medical help as soon as possible.

But above all, you still have not yet got it into your heads that SIZE IS NOT IMPORTANT!!!

I'm happy to take on the role of marriage counsellor, or anyone's counsellor, come to think of it.

for a reasonable fee, I will meet with the warring couple, and give you both such a hard time, that after a session or two, your spouses will look positively angelic.

and brucie, I'll offer you in particular a personal counselling session, because i'm concerned about your predeliction for animals, and your obsessions with power structures. you obviously have a rebellious temperament that needs to be overpowered a little.

these counselling sessions meet all professional standards, and the Red Cross may be allowed in occasionally to monitor standards and take any unused blood.
