THE "It ... just ... won't ... die..."

[topoftheworld]

The first section of the THE was it's ministry on earth.

The second was the resurrection.

Have some respect, huh?

[Tom Strange]

FACSIMILE!

[Raf]

Tom, you must have missed this post:

Scruffy. A sentimental replica of a thread long since vanished. No style at all.

[Raf]

It was page one.

I'm listening to that part right now. This should bring THE back up to its rightful place on top.

Once again THE Pocket PC has summoned me to make my pilgrimage across THE hot sands of THE desert to ensure THE Omnipotent One's continued place in our hearts and lives now and forever!!

ALL HAIL THE!!!

Finally! THE is dead! More than a month since the last post! Die, THE, Die!!!

Whaddya mean I resurrected it? Dang!

[topoftheworld]

Ha! Now THE truth comes out!!!

[Belle]

You just did that to prepare for David's 10K post, didn't you? ;)

We are all anxiously awaiting THE profundity.

Actually, the deep, hidden truth is, ... Raf just *cannot* stay away from this thread. This thread means more to him than he's letting on with all his denials and wishes for the THE thread to die.

It's almost as aggrevating to him as pineapple pizza and AO-Hell dialup accounts!! :o

It just won't.

Ok I am a greaseSpot lurker and I don't come out here very often but every time I do it seems THE is brought up in some way. Can someone fill me in on the history of THE.

[Raf]

Oh dear.

It's been requested again...

[Raf]

Ok, being relatively new to the GS world. Will someone explain THE for me!!!!!<BR><BR>Thanks

Hmm... we've been here before.

The answer then is the answer now...

Oh boy, here we go again...

Listen my children and you shall hear

The origin of THE thread we all revere

'Twas late one night, years ago, three

I remember it will, for it happened to me.

Another forum once there was

Two, in fact, and that's because

One was Waydale, and many were blessed

While the other was run by CES.

But one dark night, the latter fell.

And I came to Waydale, for all to tell.

"THE CES THREAD IS GONE" was the subject line.

"Well, it seems..." and the rest is lost to time.

And something happened that fateful night.

The computers hiccupped. It didn't come out right.

For one word each, in subject and message

Survived this bizarre rite of passage.

THE was the subject, and none understood.

WELL was the message. Read the rest? No one could.

I tried to explain. Believe me, I tried.

But to my astonishment, people replied.

First one responded. Then two, then more.

Next time I counted, they'd passed 94.

Soon there were thousands. It's true, have no doubt.

It got so bad Waydale's host was told "cut it out."

So THE was shut down. No choice. They had to.

But no, never fear, for then there was THE 2.

With this reincarnation, a legend was born.

But then, from Waydale, we all were torn.

So we said farewell. Not much more to say.

And THE was moved to the Greasespot Cafe.

There, THE thrived, with a life of its own.

Until the Cafe was moved to its present home.

I'd laugh, read along, but mostly I'd sigh.

Now and then I'd remark, "It ... just ... won't ... die..."

But powerless I am, by now this you know.

All I can do is watch, watch it grow.

The rest you can learn on the preceding pages.

I suspect that the THE will survive through the ages.

So, glad that you asked, and now you can see

The ballad of a thread, a thread called THE.

I think what Raf is trying to say is: pay no attention to THE... ignore any references to THE... avoid THE at all costs... THE is BAD because it begins with the same letter as TWI...

[dmiller]

Free -- HERE is the original THE --- (all 205 pages of it!) :)

Ok let me see if I have this. You Raf had sent a message with the Subject being THE. The text showed the word what and the rest of the posters lost their sanity and had fun with this email.

[dmiller]

Free -- kinda. :) But sanity has not been lost!

It has been restored!!

LONG LIVE THE!!!

Free -- HERE is the original THE --- (all 205 pages of it!) :)

Free -- did you click on the word *HERE*?

[GarthP2000]

... it _shoulda_ been the word THE to click upon.

Its only right n' proper.
