A poem

[Darksheare]

I dragged my sis kicking and screaming into the forum.
She wanders through once in awhile..

[Dead Corpse]

Kinda pointless. I'm not just stuning handsome, I'm also part of the pointy-headed geek crowd. Not sure that needed to be pointed out but I figured as long as we were pointing out all the various points that that one should be pointed too.

[Delta 21]

NOW you done went and did it !!?!!

[tuliptree76]

Welcome to Free Republic.

[King Prout]

Undead Threadery would best be explained by sionnsar, but I'll give it a whack...

About 15 months ago, a really dumb Donk (democrat) made a FABULOUSLY stupid post on FR.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-backroom/1163131/posts

This "troll" (aka: Moby, DUmmy, asshat leftist puke) was promptly set upon and torn asunder by the Doughty Warriors of the VKS (Viking Kitty Society).

At some point, the troll was ZOT!ted (exterminated, kicked off FR, account banned) by one of the Almighty Mods (be VERY afraid!). At that point, that thread officially became a "ZOT!" thread.

Now, trolls "catch the ZOT!" here on FR many times per day.

Most of the time, their threads or posts are deleted when their user accounts are nuked. However, for a variety of reasons, sometimes the Almighty Mods deign to allow us to wreak havok on the thread. Usually the fun continues for not longer than 24 hours - usually far, far less.

However, on that one particular thread, the stomping went on and on... and on... and ON...

Part of the initial longevity stems from the concurrent but unrelated thread posted by a FReeper named "al baby", in which two of the first True Freeperisms were coined: "stune" and "beeber"

So far as I know, the first iteration of Undeadness came here:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-backroom/1163131/posts?page=352#352
where Conspiracy Guy asked The Scourge of Yazid (now known as Do not dub me shapka broham... don't ask me, I don't know why he did that) "I thought this thread had died."

Darksheare added to the necromancy with #366: "Thread isn't dead uintil we who are the Nexus of Thread Killing Power congregate and annihilate the thread's hit points.
There are many of us, and we don't know who all the nexii are.."

Throw in the efforts of many of the keenest wits and funniest wags on the site, and the thread kept on growing.

I came rather late to the party, though as of right now I don't know where exactly that was or who dragged me in, dammit...

The first real indication of Undeadhood comes at Conspiracy Guy's post#859, I believe...

well, anyway, someone at some point got the wild notion of rolling the thread until it blew out the server's per-thread post limit (65,535 posts), and the Beast That Can't Be Killed was born.

The RKBA was brought into being somewhere in the low 3000's IIRC...

(Timpad? M'Lord, as Our Wizard and Finder of Lost Things, would you be a dear and find Our first post, and discover the genesis of the RKBA?
Hrmn?
Yes, yes... that's interesting, but We don't think We shall attempt it: It sounds uncomfortable and... anatomically improbable.
nevermind, then.)

Anyway, we loons have been at it ever since.

[King Prout]

heya, tulip.
whatcha doin' fer lunch, aside frum slummin' online?

[Delta 21]

Welcome Aboard!

You certainly got guts to jump into this mess!

Dont forget to work on your profile page. RKBA bylaws state that all nOObs are required to spend at least 2-3 hours per DAY practicing and improving upon their sarcastic abilities either here or one of the numerous ZOT threads.

Be sure to let us all know when you get your first ZOT. We could all use another reason to celebrate!

[tuliptree76]

I have office hours right now, so I'm just sitting at my desk working on stuff.

[tuliptree76]

Be sure to let us all know when you get your first ZOT.

I still haven't gotten a zot yet.

[Dead Corpse]

Here's a more or less Official Beeber Stuner...

This is what it looks like when used properly...

[Delta 21]

It can be a very addicting habit. I wasnt quite prepared for my first. The fullfillment and satisfaction one gets from outing a troll and then realizing the destructive power of the Viking Kittens they have just unleashed......

Its awesome.

[Delta 21]

These guys are using the latest hi-tech wizardry. Military grade Beeber stuners are hard to come by!

[Dead Corpse]

You've gotta be careful though. You can get to like it just a bit too much.

[SandyInSeattle]

Welcome, sis of Prout!

[concretebob]

My point exactly

[King Prout]

ah.

[Monkey Face]

WOO-HOO!

Good going!

[Monkey Face]

Welcome indeed!

I hope you enjoy your stay here in the castle!

'Face

[tuliptree76]

Time for class. Later.

[Monkey Face]

"If this thread ever gets to the point where it has a point, I'm taking point..
the last thing I need is another point."

Don't worry: If this thread HAD a point (or even a topic) it wouldn't be fun. So you may rest well at night, knowing you can come here and get away from all the senseless points that senseless people keep trying to impress us UT'ers with.

Get my point?

;o]

[Chode]

Hi Sis... anything we can ever do to help, just ask.

about the Resolution... i have ENOUGH touble with my own Church(RCC)that i think i'll pass this time and let all your good fellow worshipers proceed on this one as i'm sure You will know in your heart what's right, and act accordingly.

that said, looks like you have a Winner for a Sister there my Liege... and you Alice, could do much-Much worse than the King for a Brother. FReegards and Welcome to Free Republic. Chode

[King Prout]

"Taglinus... TRANSMOGRIFICUS!"

[Zavien Doombringer]

Welkomen, sis! (low bow)

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Welcome to Freerepublic!

[Dead Corpse]

Watch where you point that thing...

[King Prout]

um, ah, er...

I'm me.

(ya skipped an ID in tha "to" box)

[Zavien Doombringer]

Uhmmm, uh, oops...
Sorry, slipped up a bit. (too much 99 bananas and Parrot Bay)

[Zavien Doombringer]

Is that in TiaJuna?

[Zavien Doombringer]

Is that in TiaJuna?

[King Prout]

naw... that's Tia's sister, Maria.

Hrmn?

 

 

By your command.

 

It would appear Your Highness was drawn into the original jj_fate fray here:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-backroom/1163131/posts?page=2875#2875

 

(BTW, at post 3,154 of that thread, Corin Stormhands made a fateful mistake indeed...)

 

 

Your Majesty inaugurated the RKBA here:

Thy Very First Post will take a while, but is not impossible...

[King Prout]

oh. my. GAWD.

[concretebob]

Point Taken ;)

[timpad]

What? You KNEW I'd do it...

[King Prout]

actually, I thought you'd suggest I go pound sand for even proposing such a lunatic errand.

oh. my. GAWD.

how the HELL did you do it?

[Dead Corpse]

Freepers are an amazing bunch. OUr talents are so widely varigated that I am nearly convinced that there is no task beyond the scope of our abilities...

Accept, of course, hammering some sense back into Congress. Ain't no one talented enough to fix that Gordian knot.

[King Prout]

maybe we can snooker 'em into voting in favor of a congressional bylaw invoking mandatory exile...

[King Prout]

I just made it to 3154

my lord, it seems like over a year ago...

[tuliptree76]

Uh oh! Now I'm going to have the Smurfs theme going through my head.

[Dead Corpse]

That'd be cool.

My first post on the UT...

[King Prout]

heh... better that than that damn "funkytown" crap that those damn commercials have set loose nonstop in my noggin for weeks and weeks and weeks

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Uh oh! Now I'm going to have the Smurfs theme going through my head.

LALALALALALALALALALA...... *Dramatic music, Gargamel running after Smurfs...*

[Dead Corpse]

Currently playing in WinAmp...

[tuliptree76]

LOL! Yes... No funkytown.

[tuliptree76]

It's a... SURPRISE!

[tuliptree76]

I wonder where I appeared on the UT. I think it was somewhere in the 30,000s... maybe.

[King Prout]

a good bookend mate for your last post thereon, no?

[Irish_Thatcherite]

[King Prout]

ugh. no thanks.

*dit dee dee dit da, dee dit dee dit dah...*

[tuliptree76]

Aah... It's Gargamel!
