See, the thing is, a post costs nothing, roughly 30 seconds in time, and that's it. And it can cause so much happiness.

Which is why I ask you to donate your post to my thread, which is in honor of Raia. If you respect her, then please post. If not, then shrug and turn your head and ignore the poor orphan, who is starving, and the skinny dog with the sad eyes*.

Be a good person#! Post here%!

After some thought, I decided that to make this post a roaring success, I need to appeal to each aspect of Hatrackian society.

Firstly, to all the cool people. You know who you are. And you also know that if you're not seen here, you won't be cool anymore@. So get it over with, and post now.

Then to all the people who like last post threads and mindless spam: [The Wave]

There. That should turn all of those morons into their zombie mode. They probably aren't even reading this, and are automatically arming a reply smiley. Or they're reading this and getting annoyed [Wink]

.

Finally, to the pun people. Post here or be leaft behind. I don't get why that's a pun, but if I posted it in a pun thread, it would probably be accepted as one, so it'll have to due here! Oops, and there's another!

*both of which are completely unrelated
#do something that is really nice, like charity work or baking cookies, rather than surfing the net
%this sentence and the previous are 100% unrelated.
@or you may stay cool. No guarantees.
$this endnote goes no-where. Hah!

I am a Raia-fan (not in the eating sense in the good-vibes sense)

and

Forty Two?

EDIT: Wow, the bit about the skinny orphan wasn't there before... and I am answering two questions that no longer exist!

*is confused*

edit: Hey! That wasn't very nice. I post a friendly, waving smilie, and then you go and edit in an insult about people who use smilies? I'd thought your post was amsuing, at first. Now I think it's a bit rude.

Heh heh heh heh.

Posted by Phanto (Member # 5897) on :

That's right Teshi. Or did the questions even exist in the first place? Only you, me, and the people who saw can answer that.

Oh, and it's the dog that is skinny. [Wink]

Posted by beverly (Member # 6246) on :

Oh, is this a Raia Appreciation Thread?

*appreciates Raia*

Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :

I think it's a Raia appreciation thread but it seems to also be a psycological experiment.

Posted by Stan the man (Member # 6249) on :

Appreciates and respects Raia, because if she were not here there would be ruthless vandals spray painting the walls. And she's cool.

Yay Raia!
(thank you for changing the thread title)

Posted by imogen (Member # 5485) on :

Mmm, baked Raia goodness - oh wait, the title changed.

*ahem*

((((Raia)))) <--- totally non-eating hug
[Smile]

You're one cool chickadee.

Posted by Troubadour (Member # 83) on :

Raia's so cool, she had a bookshop named after her!

Posted by J T Stryker (Member # 6300) on :

ok, I'm posting.....

Posted by digging_holes (Member # 6237) on :

*heaps appreciation on Raia*

Yay for lutes and Rav Papa! [Wink]

Posted by Marek (Member # 5404) on :

I think i show Raia very little appriciation for being my friend, which i know is not always easy. *shows appriciation now*

Though i don't get the deal with the numbers, the refrances to eating Raia, or the thing about the orphan and the puppy, still, the smilies were cool. [Hat]

Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :

So...what was this thread originally called?

Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :

"Eating Raia", or something like that.

Posted by Mrs.M (Member # 2943) on :

Raia is supercool.

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

I appreciate Raia. A LOT! [Big Grin]

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

Well, since she has many papers due tomorrow, she many not see it for longer than that.

In fact . . . Raia, if you see this thread and aren't done with the papers, shoo! Go finish! [Wink]

*luvs Raia to bits [Big Grin]

Posted by Alcon (Member # 6645) on :

I definately appreciate Raia, no doubt about it.

Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :

I think Raia is fabulous.

I also think this thread is inscrutably weird.

Posted by Phanto (Member # 5897) on :

Actually, no. I bet if you tried, it could be scrutinized.

Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :

My... preciousssss...

Posted by Glaphyra the Righteous (Member # 6995) on :

*scrutes with aplomb

Raia is alllll right.

Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :

You can tell who Glaphyra is because of the way she uses asterixes [Smile]

. I think.

Posted by Eruve Nandiriel (Member # 5677) on :

I appreciate Raia.

(((((Raia)))))

We love you, Raia! [Kiss]

Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :

Yep, you're right Teshi.

Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :

Oh, and I neglected to mention it before, but Raia's great. And yeah, this is a distinctly odd thread.

Why was it originally called "Eating Raia", anyone know?

Posted by WheatPuppet (Member # 5142) on :

I think there's a pub nearby called Raia. I'll take a look next time I'm in the area. [Smile]

Posted by Phanto (Member # 5897) on :

It was called "Eating Raia" because...because of complex reasons. ^^

Posted by Allegra (Member # 6773) on :

* Appreciates Raia* *Is confused by the thread and leaves*

Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :

I remember reading about a pub named Raia here. Or a bookshop. Or something. *shrugs*

Whatever. I still appreciate Raia, even if she's not a pub or a bookshop. *appreciates Raia* [The Wave]

Posted by Boris (Member # 6935) on :

I'm Raia's #52 fan. (Don't want to freak her out or anything...*places blanket over "Raia shrine"*)

Posted by MaydayDesiax (Member # 5012) on :

Raia is so awesome. She sent me a Christmas present--a pair of super-awesome earrings. I guess this means I have to get her a whole bunch of little presents for Hannukah? [Wink]

All the better, that's one girl who deserves to be showered with love and gifts.

Raia's one of our gems here. Wait, she is the gem here.

BTW, which do I belong to, "Cool", "SPAM", "Pun" or any other?

Praise be unto Raia

Posted by Mike (Member # 55) on :

I like when she posts about Natalie Portman. [Big Grin]

Posted by Erik Slaine (Member # 5583) on :

Don't know what's goin' on here, but I would like to express my non-hatred of said Raia.

Posted by ReikoDemosthenes (Member # 6218) on :

only non-hatred?! [Eek!]

you should be expressing your everlasting adoration of the lady!

Posted by Phanto (Member # 5897) on :

John: Cool.

Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :

I saw a Natalie Portman movie yesterday. Garden State. It was surprisingly. . . enjoyable. [Razz]

Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :

I still appriciate raia

Posted by newfoundlogic (Member # 3907) on :

[The Wave]

for Raia

I saw Garden State on Wednesday and was very amused when the guy was explaining the Wailing Wall to Portman.

Is Raia pronounced the same way as my born in Israel, but American friend's sister's name Ryah is?

Posted by CalvinMaker (Member # 2032) on :

*posts*

I hope she's sleeping now. She's been working nonstop forever.

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

Phanto... you idiot. [Kiss]

Wow... I... um...

Thanks a million, everyone. [Kiss]

This thread made me so happy! Admittedly, the first post is very... um... interesting, and "Eating Raia" isn't really the first name I'd come up with for an appreciation thread...

But it's lovely. I wish I could respond to all your posts individually, but I have to go visit my dad's cousin in the hospital, because she just had a baby girl!

I have been working like crazy, trying to get all my finals done before the end of the semester (YESTERDAY! I'm FREE!), and I've moved to my parents' house, at least for the week... their internet hasn't been working for about ten days. So I haven't been on here much! But I'm at my aunt's house now, so I'm very briefly checking out Hatrack before I have to go to the hospital!

Again... thanks so so much everyone! *bounces around happily* You're all so great! And I love and appreciate you all to bits as well. [Group Hug]

This thread made my day. [Big Grin]

Posted by CalvinMaker (Member # 2032) on :

Raia, you goofball, get on AIM so I can tackle you. [Razz]

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

I couldn't, I was at my aunt's house, and only online for about five minutes! And now I'm at my dad's aunt's house, but I'm leaving in a moment, as soon as my dad does something he needs to do. And my parents' internet isn't fixed yet.

But my dad said he's trying to fix it, and hopefully something will happen tomorrow. So then I'll get online...

...and TOTALLY be the one to tackle you first. [Razz]

Posted by Jonathan Howard (Member # 6934) on :

EDIT (due to irrelevence):

Yippy! We all love Raia!

At least She is happy. Don't you think so... we made Her happy!

I'm talking BS again...

"...nothing that we know of."

Unbirth? You curl back up into the fetal position and reenter the womb and go back to sleep?
