The Self Referential Thread

[kurchatovium]

Shouldn't take long for THE THREAD to figure out how to proceed. :D :p

(This thread has reached 5000 posts :cool: :D :D :D )

[milagros317]

I'm sure he will figure out how to communicate very soon. :D :p

Back up to 5,000 posts, very nice indeed. :bouncybou

[General Zod]

It's good to eat more chocolate :p :bunny:

[milagros317]

Well, there are thousands of gallons of chocolate ice cream here, so go right ahead. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Do we have time for a happy dance to celebrate the 5000 posts? :D :D :p

[milagros317]

Sure, we have time. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Thats a whole lot of happy dancing. :D :D :p :p

[milagros317]

Yes, it's beginning to get tiring. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Maybe we should break for ice cream? :D :D :p

[milagros317]

Excellent idea. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

I thought you might like it. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

It's almost always a good time for ice cream. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Yes indeed. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

Fortunately, THE THREAD laid in a huge supply of it. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Always good to be well prepared. :D :D :p :p

[milagros317]

THE THREAD is certainly prepared, and a fine host to us all here. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

and cuddly and wuvable too. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

Yes, we must not forget that he is wuvable. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

THE THREAD has finished building the communication device so that we might talk to the Netherials. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

Excellent. I wonder what they have to say to us. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

He is trying the device out now. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

I'm sure it will function as intended. THE THREAD always builds things well. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

The first communications are coming in now.....

[milagros317]

We're waiting anxiously to hear them. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

*first commmnications comming in*

THE THREAD: Hello Netherials. We come in Peace to your realm.

communications lost.

THE THREAD: Lost them for now kurch I will try to restablish communications. I think I should run some tests the fabric of space here seems very troubling.



:D :D :p

[milagros317]

We must help them if we can. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Yes milagros we will help them. :D Seems like space and time here is falling apart. I am guessing this is part of the thier problem. THE THREAD is analysing the situation now. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

THE THREAD is very good at analysis. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Yes he is. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

Is it hard to repair the fabric of space-time? :D :p

[kurchatovium]

THE THREAD is very good at it now. He helps HDS with the repairs of the cosmos all the time now. :D :D :D :p

[milagros317]

Of course, HDS is a great master of that kind of repair. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Yes indeed he is. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

It's a shame that HDS is not with us now.:D :p

[kurchatovium]

Yeah its always great to have him around. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

Maybe HDS will show up soon. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Ya never know. LOL :D :D :D :p

[milagros317]

His comings and goings are unpredictable, so we indeed never know if HDS will show up. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Yes he is a very busy most of the time. Running the cosmos is time consuming. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

I didn't realize that HDS was the one doing that. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Well me THE THREAD and THE POST help out a lot now so he gets a bit more of a breather. :D :D and the Pletherians help out a lot too. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

It's a big job, so it's good that HDS has some help. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Yes indeed it is. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

I hope THE THREAD gets communication reestablished soon. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

The device is back up. Currently he is analyzing the fabric of space to see what the problems might be. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

I should learn to be patient when THE THREAD is on the job. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

THE THREAD says the space time contuinuum is in dire need of repair here. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

Then repairs should be started soon. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

THE THREAD is reparing what he can right now. This will help stabilize communications with the Netherials but we will need to talk to them again to understand completely what needs to be done. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

I am curious as to what they have to report. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Well these repairs will take most of the night. THE THREAD needs to be careful otherwise the realm could collpase into nothingness. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

I can see why he wants to be very careful. :D :p
I will be patient. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Collapsing into nothingness is rarely a good thing. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

I wish to avoid it, actually. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Sounds like a good plan to me. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

That's because it is a very good plan. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

One I am certain everyone whole heartedly agrees with. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

How is THE THREAD doing with the repairs? :D

[kurchatovium]

The initial repairs are al done. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

That sounds like excellent progress. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

yes very good I think. We are now trying to reestablish communication with the Netherials. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

Excellent news, I am interested in what they have to say. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

*communications restablished*

THE THREAD: I have made some repairs to the space-time continuum. More need to be done though but I have to know what happened here to help further.

..............................static.............. .....thank you very much...........................static............. ....must find the Orb Of Prime Origin................................static...... ...that has key to fixing the space time here.......................static................. please hurry................... your fixes will only last for awhile before spact time breaks up..........................

THE THREAD: We will find the Orb. Is it in thiis realm? What happened here?

................................yes the Orb is here............................static............ .............................things are breaking up to painfful to talk ...............................................sta tic........................please forgive........................find the Orb of Prime Origin...................it will explain all.................................help please thank you...............end transmission

*communications cut off*

[milagros317]

We must find that Orb as soon as we can. :D

[kurchatovium]

Yes we will try to locate it as quickly as possible. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

Do we know what it looks like? :D :p

[kurchatovium]

THE THREAD is researching it know. Hopefully he will find some info. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

I am confident that THE THREAD will succeed in finding out. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

He is currently consulting The Very Very Big Book Of Important Stuff In The Cosmos :D :D :p

[milagros317]

I wonder how many pages there are in that book. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Well technically in 3 dimensions they are an infinite number pages. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

I was afraid of that. I trust that THE THREAD reads very fast. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Yes very^99 fast. :D :p

[milagros317]

That is fortunate. Maybe he will find something about the Orb in that book soon. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Hopefully he is only on page 2858321848586868483828348568483828384488383848559 so far though. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

That is rather quick reading. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

THE THREAD is very^99 fast. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

It helps that he is hyperdimensional. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Your hyperdimensionality level has to be at least a 100 to even look at the book. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

I see that the book would be of no use at all to me. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Well it makes a great paperweight too. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

Well, I can always use a good paperweight. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

the book weighs 437 pounds so it should work well as a paperweight. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

Most certainly would. It might collapse my desk, however. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

The papers would not fly away though. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

No, they wouldn't. The crushed desk and papers would stay put. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Even the crushed desk would not move. Is that a good paperweight or what? :D :D :p :p

[milagros317]

A truly fine paperweight, yes. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Maybe KTT could manufanture 437 pound book shaped paperweights. Or should we make them a bit lighter? :D :D :p

[milagros317]

I think 7 pounds would be sufficient for most people. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

You sure what if a really strong breeze came up? :D :D :p

[milagros317]

I think 7 pounds would be sufficient, even in a strong breeze. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

So 437 pound would be too much in your opinion? :D :D :p

[milagros317]

IMHO, yes, by about a margin of 430 pounds. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

So then lets say a super paperweight of lets say 29,437 pounds would have a very limited market then? :D :D :p

[milagros317]

Virtually no market at all on the planet earth. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

I think we will just stick with the 7 pound one then. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

You will have more sales that way, at least on earth. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Well the earth store could use lots of business. Hehehe ;) :D :D :p

[milagros317]

Lots of paperweights are needed. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Hopefully. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

Hopefully, many will be purchased. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

What should we charge? maybe a 1000 dollars each? :D :D :p

[milagros317]

That's a bit high for a paperweight. Maybe $10 instead. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Well I guess i should make them out of something cheaper than pure Emerald then if I only charge 10 dollars. :D :p

[milagros317]

Good idea, pure emerald is just too expensive. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Maybe just steel then. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

Steel would be a wise choice. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

I think I will leave out the platinum inlays too. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

Good thinking, the platinum is quite expensive. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

No diamond encrusted sides either. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

It would be wise to leave out the diamonds. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Rubys too I think. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

Best to leave off all of the gemstones. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Speaking of gems, THE THREAD has located where the Orb Of Prime Origin is, its on a planet made of pure sapphire and ruby. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

Great news! Will we be going there soon? :D :p

[drew70]

Cool if I tag along? :bouncybou

[kurchatovium]

Yes we must go there quickly before space and time begin to fall appart again here.

(you are welcome to come along drew70 :p )

[milagros317]

OK, I will have all my ships ready to move out. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Excellent. If we can find this orb THE THREAD can finish the repairs to this realm. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

Let's hope we can do it all in time. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

I hope so I would rather not be crushed into nothingness. :D :D

[milagros317]

My ships are now ready for departure. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Fantastic news. Lets depart then. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

Away we go, seeking the Orb. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

The planet should be easy to locate being a big bright blue and red gem and all. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

I'm sure THE THREAD will guide us there quickly. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

We have the coordinates transmitting them to you now.

*transmits coordinates to milagros's shiips* :D :D :p

[milagros317]

We are on our way now. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Great should not take us too long. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

Not long at all. No time to even have an ice cream. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

We have time for a quick ice cream. :p :p :D :D

[milagros317]

OK, a really quick ice cream, then. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Sounds good to me. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

What an incredible sight this gemstone planet is! :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Yes it should be even more spectacular when the planet's sun shines through it. Truely a miraculous sight. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

It is amazing, but too big to fit on a ring. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Pretty cool sight though hey. :D :D :D :p :p

[milagros317]

Yes, I'm saving some pictures of it. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Well lets send out a battalion of scouts with scanners to see if we can find this Orb. :D :D :p :p

[milagros317]

Great idea! :D :p
There go the scouts.
<marquee> :atom: :atom: :atom: </marquee>

[kurchatovium]

Excellent. Thanks. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

Our atomic scouts are very reliable. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Very^99 reliable indeed. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

While they're looking for the Orb, I will have some ice cream. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

That sounds like a good ideal. :D :D :p :p

[milagros317]

* puts 5 scoops of ice cream and 9 cookies in a big bowl, pours lots of chocolate syrup on top, adds whipped cream and sprinkles, and then devours it all * :D :p

[kurchatovium]

*decides to just have a bowl of chocolate ice cream with chocolate syrup and chocolate sprinklies.*

[milagros317]

That was delicious. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Yes indeed it was. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

Now we have to wait for the scouts to return. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

its a big planet might take awhile. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

Just how big is the planet? :D :p

[kurchatovium]

About ten times the size of Earth. :D :p

[milagros317]

Pretty big, but much smaller than Jupiter. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Yes still much smaller than Jupiter. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

I hope they find the Orb soon, before I go to sleep. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Is a big planet and the atoms are very small. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

Maybe by tomorrow morning then. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Most definetly. The atomic scouts are very thourough. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

OK, I will leave orders to wake me up if they come back during the night. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Good news the scouts found the Orb but it appears to be in a large structure that is guarded by a large Beholder. :D :D :D :p

[milagros317]

And what kind of being is a Beholder? :D :p

[kurchatovium]

A Beholder is a Giant Eye essentially that can cast very powerful magic spells to assist it in its mission which is usually guarding some place or item. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

I see. What is the best way to deal with a Beholder? :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Welcome to the thread Cabana. This thread is now self medicationg :p


Milagros I think the best way to deal with uncooperative Beholder is to destroy it. :D :D

[milagros317]

OK, I will get my troops ready to do battle, and the magicians ready to cast their spells. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Well lets see if he is a friendly Beholder first. We may be able to reason with it. :D :p

[milagros317]

OK, but we will be prepared just in case he's not friendly. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Yeah I think I will have the scouts observe him a bit. Maybe we can get some clues on his behavior. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

We would prefer no battle if not necessary. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Me too. :D :D :p We might potentially lose some of our jammies. :D :D :p :p

[milagros317]

That would be very tragic. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Yeah cause I have some really nice jammies now. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

We all stocked up on them for this expedtion. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Even the nice soft cotton ones? :D :D :p

[milagros317]

Including soft cotton ones, yes. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Excellent planning milagros. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

I try to be an organized and efficient officer on this venture. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

MAybe you are due for a promotion. Whats your rank now? :D :D :p

[milagros317]

Colonel, actually. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Well congratulations you are now a Lieutenant General. :D :D :p

[suprticklishgrl]

i went back and the 1st post in this thread, and noticed that it was dated 2002. WOW, what an accomplished thread. it deserves an award. :D

[milagros317]

Well congratulations you are now a Lieutenant General. :D :D :p

Oh, I am deeply honored, thank you so much. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

I think the Lt. General gets a new set of jammies too. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

That is even better. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

And a new uniform too. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

Better and better still. This is a wonderful day. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Congratulations. You have earned it. *salutes milagros* :D :D :p :p

[milagros317]

Thank you. *salutes back* :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Maybe we can celebrate your promotion with some ice cream. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

That sounds like a fine idea. :D :p

[General Zod]

Congratulations on your promotion Milagros I am sorry I was away for awhile I bought plenty of chocolate ice cream :D :D :p

[milagros317]

Thank you, General Zod. :D :p *takes chocolate ice cream*

[kurchatovium]

Hey thanks for the ice cream gen.zod. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

Just what we needed while we're waiting. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Congratulations again Lt. General Milagros. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

Thank you. :D :p
Any word yet on whether the Beholder is a friendly Beholder?

[kurchatovium]

Well the atomic scouts reported a small alien creature (something akin to a small dog) coing up to the Bheolder and being vaporized. So I am thinking it is not very friendly. Just my thoughts though. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

That seems quite unfriendly, unfortunately. :dog: <== vaporized
:D :p

[kurchatovium]

I agree. I think the cute little doggie like alien would have agreed as well. :dog: :D

[milagros317]

Alas, I will get my troops ready for battle, which now seems more likely. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

The atomic scouts got a picture of the Beholder. We are running it thru the datbase to see if anything turns up. :D :D

[milagros317]

Is that a large data base we have? :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Very^99 large. :p :p :D :D

[milagros317]

I see. Is it a hyperdimensional data base with infinitely many entries? :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Yes on a hyperdimensional computer too. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

Can I presume that it is a fast computer? :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Well it would be faster if it was not running Windows. :D :D

[milagros317]

Installing Windows was a big mistake. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Even we sometimes have to keep microsoft happy. :p :D :D LOL

[milagros317]

I understand, Microsoft is a large and powerful empire. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

We hope to change operating systems soon. :D :p

[milagros317]

Just don't tell Bill Gates about it. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

We wont. He largely unaware of things that happen in other universes. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

That is very fortunate. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

He sticks primarily ot Earth. LOL :p :D :D

[milagros317]

I guess that proves he doesn't have wide vision. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Or at the very least is not hyperdimensional. :D :p :p

[milagros317]

No, Bill is certainly not hyperdimensional. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

That is most likely a good thing. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

Yes, he is frightening enough as he is. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Yes and thats with only 3 dimensions. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

Let's hope he stays only 3 dimensional. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

I dont think that will be a problem. :p :p :D :D

[milagros317]

Likely not, he is set in his ways as a 3 dimensional being. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Yes indeed. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

How is the research going about the Beholder? :D :p

[kurchatovium]

We know now the Beholder's name is Baaaalk. He use to be a guard for Satan's lair. So its safe to assume he is very evil. :D :D :D :p

[milagros317]

OK, that means I will prepare for a battle after all. :D :p

[kurchatovium]
