Welcome to......
Kill This Thread XXV !
The following rules were established by Kent Shakespeare at the start of the first 24-hour version, adapted from the original rules by EDE:
The rules:
1. The Basic Idea: Post to this thread, if no one posts after you for 24 hours, you win!
2. Posts that are not direct responses to one of the five preceding posts are ineligible to win. The topic can drift, but no complete non-sequitors. Posts that are responses to non-sequitors are also ineligible to win. Posts that are responses to responses to non-sequitors, and response nses to those posts, etc., become eligible, however.
3. In the event that this thread is locked, there shall be no winner unless a new thread is started for the contest. Furthermore, any post that results in the banning of the poster shall also be ineligible to win.
4. So, more precisely, one wins if one makes a post, and then no one makes another post that's eligible to win for 24 hours.
Here's a history of our various felons, along with a few missed opportunities.....
I - walkwithcrowds (7-day version) II - none III - none IV - Quislet, Esq V - Rockhopper Lad (the first 24-hour version) VI - Rockhopper Lad VII - cleome VIII - Rockhopper Lad IX - Rockhopper Lad X - none XI - none XII - none XIII - Invisible Brainiac XIV - Invisible Brainiac XV - Invisible Brainiac XVI - Invisible Brainiac XVII - Invisible Brainiac XVIII - cleome XIX - cleome XX - cleome XXI - Jfposey XXII - Invisible Brainiac XXIII - jfposey XIV - Invisible Brainiac XV - PALADIN (eff YEAH!!!)

The last one seemed to be quite quick.
"...not having to believe in a thing to be interested in it and not having to explain a thing to appreciate the wonder of it."

Perhaps we passed through a time warp.

Let's do the time warp again.

The shurg is a must for Klordny.

Although it's only one of the many fun things to do during Klordny.

Clearly, this thread is just begging for a discussion of Genesis's We Can't Dance album!

MTV over here seemed to start off with only one sponsor. So there were loads of ads for Braun products. No doubt this seeped into people's minds resulting in loads of hairdryers being bought by people who already owned one.

A coach shouting at his players is called the hairdryer treatment.

In Greco-Roman medicine, yellow and black bile were the dry humors.

There are clowns use balance, or lack thereof to humorous effect.

The conflict in the universe of Avatar: The Last Airbender started because the Fire Nation attacked, and threw the world off-balance.

This confirms my long held theory that Quis is, in reality, Anaximenes.

I also prefer Air, but I think Quis resembles Anaximenes more than I do.

I just try to be philosophical about the subject.
