I honestly don't recall. And after doing a quick search I couldn't find it.

Basically, someone (whistles innocently) posted a rather silly question to
ShadowRN, "How much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a woodchuck could
chuck wood?"

Someone else (glances at Bull) decided to try to answer the question.

Before you could blink, everyone was postulating on how much wood a
woodchuck could chuck. And to make matters worse, people started
hypothesizing how much wood could be chucked if the woodchuck were
awakened, paranormal, cybered, etc. Each thread gave birth to ten
more. It was like the mother of all mail bombs had gone off on ShadowRN.

And despite the fact that it was a lot of fun :) it went way, way, over the
top. Henceforth the woodchuck thread was banned on ShadowRN by the Admins.

Its one of those things that all who were present are ashamed, yet proud,
to have been a part of :)

Perhaps. Yet it's one of those things that those of us who had
the good sense to abstain from are equally proud and not ashamed of in the
slightest. ;)

Oh No! You will be held responsible for all the damage this
inflicts. For example, I was peacefully sitting over here just reading an
occasional letter or two and now, now you are the one responsible for
getting me to respond again after all this time. Soon you will understand
what you have brought down upon us all!

Well, that depends on the woodchuck in question; are we talking about an
average woodchuck? a physically fit one? and what kind of timescale are we
allowing said woodchuck to chuch said wood?

<scene>
Two people walking through an alley, each entering from opposite ends.
Quickly and directly, seeming to mind their own business, they press
forward, as if in search of some unspoken, untangible, conflict. As they
approach one another, the man tips his hat to the shrouded cowel of the lady
form near him, he hands a small, vellum wrapped, package. Her fingers
knowing caress the contents ... perfect sheets of purest, trueform,
orichalcum ... something only this one could make in this age. He tips his
hat at her again as he walks past again ... a voice trailing on the edges of
the spiritual domain ... "... let it begin ..."

Her eyes glimmer for a moment as the stranger vanishes into the rain-slicked
streets beyond, her blackened soul feeling something akin to the
anticipation of freedom as she realizes what she has been paid so handsomely
for...

You're asking us for the subject line of a thread that happened three or

Actually it seems my ISP wanted this thread to continue... They cancelled
my and Paolo's accounts this morning.

I think it is high time we need to remind these new kids WHY this thread is
banned.... ;)

And what kind of wood? Broken up into logs? still rooted into the ground?
Pine? Oak?

Or underworld backing? or that of a freee spirit? Or maybe the woodchuck
owns a megacorp, pulling the strings behind Damien Knight or Richard

It all makes sense, I never imagined how horrible it
could be.

Hmmm...this is weird.

You know what's funny?

Here's me...

*...Doc' waves...*

...and here's the woodchuck thread/t...

*...the woodchuck chucks...*

...and I've got too much of a sense of dignity to get
involved...

Now how 'bout that. Is the world ending or something?

Hrm...with the power of a corporation could the woodchuck not start up a
coastal lumber cybernetic army of chromed attack woodchucks? What's new in
the R&D department for a specially-designed woodchuck-sized man-portable
rocket launcher?

The woodchuck unfortunately is. You, however, are not.

Ancient cultures believed that names held great power, personal names
more so and they were guarded very closely. To protect themselves, they
answered to another name, because if another discovered their real name,
it could be used against them.
