Short Thread Society #47393 11/10/01 11:22 AM Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 1,385 P plutarch OP veteran OP plutarch veteran P Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 1,385 Mission Statement: The Short Thread Society is founded on the principle that brevity is the soul of wit and it also saves a lot of needlework. All people are welcome here without regard to their threadnological preferences but we generally believe in sticking to our own knitting. In short: "Be brief and be gone." There is no current record for the shortest thread in AWADom, but there is likely to become one very shortly. That would suit us just fine.

Self-evident truths: All posters are created equal. You can run on but you can't hide behind your post count. Rising rank can become an odor problem. In any case, noblesse oblige. Our Patron Saint: Jennifer Lopez (in Versace); Conan (in loincloth) 4 the ladies ???? Words of wisdom: People who prefer short threads shouldn't open a shop for Queen size ladies or XXXL Men. Our logo: The eye of an needle. Favorite biblical inspiration: A puffy poster has as much chance of getting into heaven (or short-listed for the "Twiggies") as squeezing thru the eye of a needle. Favorite Saying: A stitch in time saves nine. Favorite Abbreviation: etc. (1 is enuf) Favorite Latin Maxim: Res ipsa loquitur Most Frightening Words in the English Language: "I'd like to say a few words about ..."
