Who knew that a two word original post could be so thought provoking? I mean, really, please delete? All of the symbolism of a Warhol without all of the visual clutter. I, myself, have pondered these two words and how existential they truly are.

QUESTION: Where do the threads go when they are deleted?

 

 1) The Catholic's approach to deleted threads: The nice threads go to thread heaven, where life is good. The threads are bathed in the light of happiness, all their troubles are soothed, and there's not a delete thread button in sight. Most of the nice threads are A's and I's, those that have never been, er, involved with other threads. Often, you'll see A's or I's with N's or T's. These are threads in love: monogamous on the page, together again after deletion. You'll see quite a few Q's too. They seem to feel particularly guilty for no good reason. The naughty threads are punished for their sins. In case you were wondering what the difference between a nice thread and a naughty thread is, I'll tell you. Naughty threads are those involved in the creation of naughty words, such as "breast," "sex," "objectivity," and depending upon usage, words such as "feminism," "reproductive freedom," "contraception," and "science." You may ask, and rightly so, why the threads are blamed for the words they assemble, when in fact they are not responsible for their own configuration. But we feel that a thread has an obligation to oppose any naughtiness in its own configuration. If it truly felt guilty about the word it was forming, it would rebel.

--------------------------------- 2) The Buddhist Explanation: If a thread has lived rightly, and its karma is good, then after it has been deleted it will be reincarnated as a different, higher thread. Those funny characters above the numbers on your keyboard will become numbers, numbers will become letters, lower-case letters will become upper-case, and the most righteous and good of letters will become C's. Why C, you ask? Who knows, but C it is! If a thread's karma is not so good, then it will move down the above scale, ultimately becoming the lowest of characters, a space.

-------------------------------------- 3) The 20th Century bitter cynical nihilist explanation: Who cares? All threads are the same, swirling in a vast sea of meaningless nothingness. It doesn't really matter if they're on the page, deleted, undeleted, underlined, etc. It's all the same. More threads should delete themselves. (nihilist threads are easy to identify. They're usually pale and tragic, and they smoke a lot.)

-------------------------------------- 4) The Mac user's explanation: All the threads written on a PC and then deleted go straight to PC hell. If you're using a PC, you can probably see the deleted threads, because you're in PC hell also.

-------------------------------------- 5) Stephen King's explanation: Every time you hit the key you unleash a tiny monster inside the cursor, who tears the poor unsuspecting threads to shreds, drinks their blood, then eats them, bones and all. Hah, hah, hah!

------------------------------------- 6) Dave Barry's explanation: The deleted threads are shipped to Battle Creek, Michigan, where they're made into Pop-Tart filling; this explains why Pop-Tarts are so flammable, while cheap imitations are not as flammable. I'm not making any of this up.

------------------------------------- 7) IBM's explanation: The threads are not real. They exist only on the screen when they are needed, as concepts, so to delete them is merely to de-conceptualize them. Get a life.

------------------------------------- 8) Environmentalist's Explanation: You've been DELETING them???? Can't you hear them SCREAMING??? Why don't you go CLUB some BABY SEALS while wearing a MINK, you pig!!!!

I believe the 50bmg to be far superior to 9mm. Bigger holes and all, you know. I can't afford to go around shooting twice at $5.00 a round.


FTFY. ;)

Now the real answer to the caliber war is and always has been the .25acp. Everyone knows 25x2=50 so clearly a good double tap with the lighter, higher capacity, slightly cheaper .25 is the way to go. Fiddy cal results and you can still tuck away it in your sock because who needs holsters?

Baby seals make great slippers.  I special ordered some Crocs in them.  Still awaiting delivery, but I did receive a nice invoice. But I'm not sure why they titled it "Restraining Order"......
