Jonny,

A long time ago someone did a seemingly errant post. The post simply consisted of the single word, "The" -- nothing more.

The poster (Rafael) thought it to be a mistake at first. However, some others, when they came upon this post saw a great profoundness in this single word "The". So the legacy of "THE" began and blossomed from there.

THE rest is history.

Is this a game? Like when one person draws something and the next adds and you keep going until there is a picture?

Is this a new age experiment in poetry writing?

Can I play?

Okay---here's mine---

Haven't you guys got anything better to do?

Wait, don't answer that.

Seriously, something went haywire when I tried to post the "CES Board is down" thread. "The" and "Well" were the only words that came up. My second attempt was successful.

Thanks for the laugh, all.

turn to #2 in your song books

I love to tell THE'S story

of unseen things above,

of THE and his Guinness,

of THE and his Peeps.

I love to tell THE'S story,

because I know its true;

it satisfies my longings

as no one but THE can do.

Refrain:

I love to tell THE'S story,

this will be his theme in glory,

to tell THE'S old, old story

of Rafe's famous fudge.

Sorry. I have a large monitor. Didn't occur to me that it would bug other people.

Of course, it didn't occur to me that a thread whose reason for existence was a computer burp would still be running four years later!
