Re: Thread Killers Anonymous

Oh hello, so three days, three days left alone in the dark without a crumb of comfort or a sniff off contact.

I can see where this is going to end.

It's gonna be me the thread a coffin and a load of candy floss and I'm gonna be puking my guts up... Again.


Well thanks a lot, the lot of you.

Re: Thread Killers Anonymous

It wasn't the cough that carried Jim off,
'Twas the coffin they carried TEIN off in.

Re: Thread Killers Anonymous

Is Jim dead? Or is TEIN dead, Jim?

"He's dead, Jim"

"Shut up, McCoy! I'm the Captain here. Hey, where'd the girl go?"

"What is it with you, anyway?"

Ah, whatever.

Re: Thread Killers Anonymous

Jim's thinking of offering an alternative (pro bono) service: a crematorium. He's come up with a name and (subject to successful negotiations with Disney's commercial department), a jingle. As this is still commercially sensitive, all Jim will allow me to do is reproduce the first line of the jingle:

"Jim's chiminey, Jim's chiminey, Jim's Chimney's free...."

NOBODY has successful negotiations with Disney. More like hostile takeovers.

Re: Thread Killers Anonymous

But perhaps, if Jim says, say, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, it will be all right.

Re: Thread Killers Anonymous

Should use screws instead of nails. They work better. Nails have a way of popping their heads up and causing damage...

Re: Thread Killers Anonymous

Superglue is best. Even vampires can't get through a superglued coffin lid.

Re: Thread Killers Anonymous

You can try getting stuck in with the glue, but Jim won't mind. (Perhaps it's because Jim, as a thread, could be considered to be insolvent.)
