Set up your shop ADJACENT to it.

Don't make me come over there.

Posted by PSI Teleport (Member # 5545) on :

Can we flame Tom now?

Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :

Sorry, Toni. You can't trample my expression of my faith like that. Ender wouldn't want people to have to go all the way to another thread to buy souvenirs.

Tom.

Adjacent.

Start it's own thread.

But do not soil and damage a beautiful and refined thing with your merchanteering. I don't want to start a Holy War over this. We are voting on a High Bumper even now.

Let the Thread guide us, not not attempt to guide the thread.

Ralphie, check out this cool keychain! Bargain prices! I'm goin' back!

Posted by PSI Teleport (Member # 5545) on :

Careful Tom. I think Toni's going to hatrack yo' @ss.

Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :

Toni, I'm only doing what Ender would want. You're free to worship in your own way, but don't deny people the freedom to look back fondly upon their visit to the thread by preventing them from purchasing a "Welcome to Hell" snowglobe at ridiculously low prices.

Tom, you never cease to amaze me!!!

Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :

TOOOoooooOOOooooOOOM!!

You're ruining EVERYTHING.

I was gonna be High Bumperess. I was going to give it GIFTS and be an ambassador and stuff.

You always hafta DO that, don't you?

[Grumble]

Posted by Erik Slaine (Member # 5583) on :

Snowglobes???? I'm there, man.

Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :

Oh, and whining aside, this is a very serious matter.

You are corrupting the EndersBurningThread and offending it's disciples.

Prepare to be Jihaded.

Posted by Erik Slaine (Member # 5583) on :

Dobie time:

Both Enders Burning

Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :

No one's challenging your right to be High Bumperess, Toni, although potential supplicants might want to consider your naked ambition for the position; still, if you're called to Ender, who am I to say otherwise?

All I'm asking for is the right to make a little profit helping people be happy. Trust me; there's no overlap at all between that and religion.

Posted by porcelain girl (Member # 1080) on :

hmmm, tom's twinkling lights and talking ornaments or toni's bloody libations??

i can hardly choose, but boy i hope it never stops.

is it bad if i feel like a god?

(hahahaaa.)

Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :

Why choose? I like to think that my twinkling lights help to bring out the highlights of even the most pedestrian of bloody libations.

Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :

I have to get those pictures of my backyard developed... those were twinkling lights of the worst order.

I'm all for bloody libations though...

I come in after a day or so of lurking and Tom's taking part in fluff threads . . .

o_O

Posted by Pat (Member # 879) on :

Well, he's posting in fluff threads because only popular people are allowed to, Icky.

Stay away from them, by the way. You're not popular enough to go near them.

I mean, you can, but mack will probably give you a pretty good wedgie.

Pat, *pat pat*

Posted by Pat (Member # 879) on :

rikva -- twice will do.

Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :

[No No]

Posted by Ethics Gradient (Member # 878) on :

I think the Hatrack universe is falling apart. Tom is posting fluff...

*dies*

Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :

And it was I that got him to!

Posted by eslaine (Member # 5433) on :

Aww. I miss this thread.

Posted by JonnyNotSoBravo (Member # 5715) on :

You're s'posed to go 'rooty doot doot' when you do a random resurrection, dude.

Posted by luthe (Member # 1601) on :

The foul smell of natural gas used in cooking and heating is due to the fuel not being allowed to circulate properly in the kitchen, thus becoming "stale". To maintain freshness, allow gas to run for approximately two minutes before being lit.

This thread made me think of this. I the Chicago Sun-Times today there is an ad for "Passion coins" but they aren't online yet for me to link to.

You know, for the life of me I can't seem to think of any other times that "Toni" and "naked" have been used in the same sentence.

Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :

Of course, shortly after this thread came out, Toni left us forever. I feel partly responsible.

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

I REMEMBER that lovely morning on Hatrack when these two threads were the hot commodity. For this to be funny we have to find the other one where Tom set up his merchandise counter.

I love good bumpage like this!

Posted by eslaine (Member # 5433) on :

For Narnia,

Bump.

Actually, I think there's another thread about keeping the original post pristine.

I waited for others to post.

Really. I did.
