I'm interested in the long and exalted history of this thread. How did Chas_M (the forefather) get such an important and interesting thread named after him?

Chas_m started the thread with a message that said "Duplicate: Moderator please remove this thread". It kind of took a life of it's own, with no purpose or point, but maybe just to stroke Chas_m's ego and stack his message count.

As for the historical importance of this thread - think of it in the same light as the importance of getting spam in your email...

It has an extremely archetypal feel to it. :>)
I was actually being ironic.....

Hey! The first rule about the chas_m thread is [deleted by moderator].

It would be pretty cool to have a [deleted by moderator] thread. Just like I may have an opinion [deleted by moderator], or some bad spelling [deleted by moderator], or spam [deleted by moderator], or that jpeg was [deleted by moderator] because it was [deleted by moderator]...

and just as easily as that....NEW LIFE is injected into the thread. And now all we need to do is [deleted by moderator]

I like peanuts.

That's gotta hurt.

Just for the record, I've had little to do with this thread, and my ego doesn't require any further stroking beyond what my wife provides.

Also for the record, I prefer peanut butter to peanuts. I wish someone would make peanut-free peanut brittle.

That has to be the most stupid thing ever captured on video tape. I mean, sure, the dude fell on his tender places - but what was the point of the stunt in the first place? If this had killed or maimed him, it would definitely be something for the Darwin Awards.
