[Susan Unger]

Speaking of food...

Over the river, and through the wood,
To Grandfather's house we go;
The horse knows the way to carry the sleigh
through the white and drifted snow.

Over the river, and through the wood—
Oh, how the wind does blow!
It stings the toes and bites the nose
As over the ground we go.

Over the river, and through the wood,
To have a first-rate play.
Hear the bells ring, "Ting-a-ling-ding",
Hurrah for Thanksgiving Day!

Over the river, and through the wood
Trot fast, my dapple-gray!
Spring over the ground like a hunting-hound,
For this is Thanksgiving Day.

[Pauline Chambers]

Norm, you should quit while you're ahead. I'll take up the slack for you...

Little Moose, Alberta: November 18, 2010

Source of Global Warming Spike Found

Researchers at the world renowned Little Moose Center for Climate Change Research have found the source of a recent spike in global temperatures that has concerned scientists on 4 continents. The spike in temperatures began about a week ago and has continued since. It was reported in Antarctica that glacier melting had increased in pace and that several endangered species were now at greater risk. “We’ve been concerned about the darling little snail darter fish and the precious spotted owl for several years now,” commented chief researcher Phineas Breezy, head of research at Little Moose, “the recent spike in global warming has increased our concern for their survival.”

The source of the global warming spike was found as Breezy and his research team of crack scientists explored a little known link between cyber activity and real world weather. They discovered that increased activity on the Internet heats transmission lines which, in turn, heat the atmosphere. Users of WI-FI actually make matters worse as their activity is carried through the air between computer and wireless router.

“The source of the problem,” Breezy said, “is a thread on a website called ‘NazNet.com.’ A group of users are competing to see who will be the last to post to a particular thread.” In the thread, each user tries to post something that will be the final thing said in the thread. As the hundreds of posts are done, the transmissions lines are red hot and the climate is suffering as a result.

Breezy says that the only hope for the planet is for the competition to end immediately. “Just a person trying to get one more post in by saying something like ‘ME’ or ‘thanks’ will likely push our fragile planet past the tipping point. The NazNet users must cease this thread immediately,” he warned.

He adds, “Do it for the sake of the children.”

Poor little fish. We should really stop then. Who wants to be the one that tipped (or should I say melted) the iceberg?

NOT ME!!:smilies0150:

[Norayr Hajian]

This will serve as your legal notice under provisions of NazNet law and the generally accepted Fair Thread Protection Act FTPA, to cease all communication in regard to this thread.

If you fail to heed this notice, I will file a formal complaint against you with the Federal Thread Commission who is responsible for enforcement of the FTPA, the Secretary General's office, The NazNet Association, and your mother.

I have decided that I will not allow my First Right to the Last to be trampled on any longer. I have contacted the original creator of this thread and moderator to resolve this matter directly, as circumstances warrant. By sending this letter it is my intention to stop all further replies or activity from this moment forth.

You are also notified that should any adverse or even reverse information be placed in reply to this thread upon this said thread appropriate actions will be taken. Please give this very important matter the utmost attention.

Now see, this is why you don't want people from your real life to show up on NazNet. They can destroy your carefully-crafted internet persona.

Oops! Did I just post again? But surely this one little post is no more than a drop in the old ice bucket. I'm positive that it's the rest of you who are to blame for this problem that has turned Scott into a concerned Nazarene.

[Norayr Hajian]

Marsha, I love how your post must have been only seconds after Glenda's post. (Sorry, Glenda).

Oh, and while I'm counting;

... FOUR ...

[Marsha Lynn]

Yep. That's about it. (Saves me the trouble of actually thinking up anything semi-intelligent to say each time)..

Whoa! What's this? I don't see anything in the OP that requires intelligence in what we post. I think you're going beyond the original contract. That makes me highly suspicious of the validity of your threatening letter.

(You won't really tell my mother, will you?)

I sure hope that you didn't intend to threaten Nelson! We will not stand for that sort of thing around here buster!

Yet another reason to keep NazNet and "real life" in separate compartments of your life. Here we see an example of a NazNet bicker bleeding over into "real life" issues and vice versa.

I suggest that you both abandon this thread immediately and focus on your mushrooming conflict in a face-to-face setting.

Someday you will thank me for this advice but there's no need to say anything right now. I think it's very important that you eliminate the inherently controversial nature of NazNet from your current conversation immediately.

Didn't I say that no thanks was necessary? Does no one pay attention to what anyone says around here? :mad:

(Are you really gone? Because I need to get back to work, too, but am a bit disappointed about not lasting over five minutes in last place during my break. I need to find a time when everyone else is either busy or sleeping.)

I was distracted by my job or Marsha would not have had so many posts in the meantime.

Just so everyone will know, John and Tinker just bought a beautiful 5th wheel camper. My wife, Jackie, says she could live in it. We also have a nice camper so we were joking about "my camper is better than your camper." Thus the threat to "deny" me the opportunity to be blessed by seeing their new home away from home.

Now back to the regularly scheduled thread.

[Charlotte 'Mercer' Burton]

I am appalled at the lack of concern for the planet around here! A full page of replies since Scott informed us about the horrible effect that this petty debate is having. I am deeply disappointed in all of you and suggest that you stop now before the heat of this debate kills us all!

Hey, Ben. Have you noticed how people respond to me within minutes but your post has stood unchallenged for almost an hour? I think this indicates that you aren't really welcome here. Perhaps you should head back over to the theology forum where you can be a big shot.

I don't want to hurt your feelings, but sometimes we just need someone to speak truth to us. Someday I'm sure you'll thank me for this, but please don't do it now! (I'm trying to foster an environment where no one is speaking to me.)

Considering the topic of the thread, isn't this somewhat backward reasoning?

Considering the topic of the thread, isn't this somewhat backward reasoning?

What? Are you talkin' ta me? I've already run off Scott, Tinker, and Ben. I'm taking over this thread with A T T I T U D E ! I figure if I can alienate everyone, you all will leave me here alone talking to myself. So go away ...

O fiddlesticks, I was going to say something really mean but it wouldn't come out. Where in the world did I leave that mean streak?

Sigh. Defeated again.

I don't think you really give a hoot about the owls. I'm beginning to think you made the whole story up just so you could win.

[Jim Chabot]

Tell that little teller to hold still. At least long enough for me to draw a decent bead on him.

Those little rascals drove the price of lumber through the roof some years back. Then the lumber started coming from Canada., where those little tellers are either common or they don't care.

I hear that they taste like chicken.

No really, I quit.

Yeah, sure you do ... just like the rest of us ... couldn't believe how many pages were added just since last night (or early this morning, actually, if I were to be 100% truthful ... having been a night owl (whooo-whooo!) again last night)! [oh, no ... I must go "advanced," to find those other smileys!]


ME! I quit.

Nope, I see it was two whole minutes, Marg!

Nah, Marsha, think that's only required on the less-than-fun forums; this one is the exception ... intelligence may be left to the other forums ... tho' some of the stories here are terribly creative, which does require at least a smattering of some intelligence.

Oops! After trying to realign the owl (he's still got problems I see--things keep wanting to pop back towards the LH margin!), I forgot to comment. Anyway, your drawing these cute little pictures reminds me of the time when the only pictures I could have on my computer were those of the keyboard variety. That lasted several years until I moved from Phoenix to Michigan [in '02--been way too long in this clime!] and ended up finally needing/getting another computer.


I hear that they taste like chicken.

But why wouldn't owls taste like chicken, Jim? What on earth doesn't? We're always hearing [snakes, rabbits, etc]: "Tastes just like chicken!" :smilies0262:

Global Warming Spike Continues

Researchers at the world renowned Little Moose Center for Climate Change Research continue to express concern about the current spike in global temperatures and the lack of cooperation by those who are causing it, a group of users at a website called “NazNet.com.”

Chief researcher Phineas Breezy, head of research at Little Moose, commented, “These people show blatant disregard for the impact their competition is having on the ecology even though evidence of it is abundant.”

Global warming has an especially negative impact on poor defenseless woodlands creatures like the spotted owl and also increases the melting of glaciers in Antarctica, as was described in a previous news release.

“Because of geometric, climatological, and societal influences, the impact of this blatant disregard for the ethology is being first felt in places like Australia, Chili, and South Africa,” Breezy said, “by Christmas these places will likely be experiencing summer time temperatures which will continue through March or even April.”

Another evidence of the damage being done by the continuation of this thread on NazNet.com is that at this time there are virtually no ice bergs present off the coast of California or in the entire Gulf of Mexico.

“Do these people, in their desire to be the last person to post to that thread take time to consider these things?” Breezy asked, “Of course not,” he continued. “All they can think about is being last.”

Meanwhile the planet suffers.

“Do these people, in their desire to be the last person to post to that thread take time to consider these things?” Breezy asked, “Of course not,” he continued. “All they can think about is being last.”

Meanwhile the planet suffers.

Someone should let Breezy know that the country is Chile not Chili. :)

It's only a surface problem. Nothing to see here, move it along now.

Forget the reporters blunders. What's important here is the fear-mongering going on by the Little Moose Center for Climate Change Research. I think they should hold a conference over here in, say, January or February and see just how warm the climate is.

Ah, my dear friend, had there been more than one reporter the correct punctuation would be: "Forget the reporters' blunders."

So do we finally have a thread where we can focus on how people say things instead of what they say? Please, someone write something about loosing their salvation over this little contest so I can pounce on one of the most common spelling errors on the internet -- it's "lose" (rhymes with "choose") not "loose" (rhymes with "caboose")

(Ah, the joys of English, the most widely spoken language on earth and surely God's humourous, er, humorous vote for what started at the Tower of Babel to endure a little longer.)

The cat sitting next to him had no such guilt, however...

[Steven Burton]

Steven wonders if the cat will taste like owl now.....

Meanwhile, the owl wonders what cat tastes like...

Hey, no fair god-moding!

[Steven Burton]

god-moding what is that, clearly you don't understand that which is out of your domain.

Now Steven notices that maybe he can just hover but since he is afraid of heights he is not sure how he like his new found power......

God-moding is a video game term that refers to a player who give his character god-like powers (often bending the rules of the game to do so). He is going into "god mode."

News Flash! This Just In!

Billings, MT receives record snowfall!

BILLINGS - The National Weather service says a record amount of snow fell on Billings on Saturday.


Billings-based meteorologist Sean Campbell tells the Billings Gazette that a foot of snow fell on the city between midnight and 6 p.m., eclipsing the previous one-day record of 2.5 inches set in 2007.

Campbell says the storm covered most of Montana except for the northwest corner.

Red Lodge received 13 inches of snow on Saturday, and 20 inches fell a mile outside of Cooke City.

Cooke City and nearby Silver Gate also suffered power outages starting on Thursday when the storm moved in, and wintery driving conditions delayed repair crews trying to restore power on Saturday.

Flathead Electric did not immediately return a call from The Associated Press on Sunday

We have not, I repeat have not harmed the planet with this thread!

[Jeremy D. Scott]

We have not, I repeat have not harmed the planet with this thread!

And yet, Jim, I'm not so sure, for the penguins are still very confused:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAzalHuVuTw

We all know that penguins are from the South Pole and Santa is from the North Pole. So why on earth are these penguins dressed as Santa...and more perplexing: Why are they in Korea?

[Gina Stevenson]

How'd I know this was going to be near the very top of "new posts"? Because humans like to compete? ;)

Anyway, someone's trying to perpetuate the global warming myth here in Michigan, trying to fool us into thinking it's for real ... for instance, this morning it's about 60 degrees F, which is definitely not normal. Like it, but it sadly won't stay; it'll get into the 30-40's tomorrow, and rain Thks'giving. However, that is better than a blizzard, as it's done several years on Thanksgiving. ;)

OK, back to the regularly scheduled "who shall be last?" thread ... which, I agree, is definitely not causing global warming! Wouldn't mind if it was, actually; it was even way too cold last night ... then it was overnight that it warmed up. ;)
