Petrified wood or regular wood and how freshly cut? And is that a
1st edition undead woodchuck or the 2nd edition revised with hidden
errata undead woodchuck. Of course there is the greater undead wyrmy
woodchuck but I don't think the manna has reached a high enough levels
yet for it's return.

A woodchuck? It's a cute little furry animal.

Oh, you mean the infamous woodchuck thread ;)

Someone asked how much wood a woodchuck could chuck.. and.. well... it
generated the largest off topic thread to ever hit ShadowRN.

I would like to publicly congratulate David. He has learned the most
important lesson that a person who wishes to keep things on topic can learn:
Tell them what they want to know. If its about an old OT thread, don't bitch
and moan and jump up and down, just tell them what it was about and let it go.

I know... it was pathetic. I mean, the answer is simple: the woodchuck has a
strength of 1 if it's lucky, and the rest is easy to work out under SR
rules.

How much wood could a dragon chuck, if a dragon could and would chuck wood,
now that's a much more interesting question...

Chaff. But don't worry, if it's still in R&D, pre-prototype stage,
Tim will never be able to have it finished in a month, by which
time he'd better hide it _very_ well from me if he ever wants to
finish it :) The extra-dimensional defenses built into the stairs will
take him much longer than that to get around.

But I know how to lower the carp shields using the secret password of
Gurth's true name. You can't keep me out... :)

km in the wrong direction, but hey, if you've dug all the way
underneath the Atlantic Ocean being a little off isn't that bad :)

Bah! Unlock the door or face the prospect of a ton of carp coming in with
the shields down. Meanwhile I'll go and relax at the Elder's Resort.

Well since everyone is in a reminiscing mood, lets revisit another favourite
old thread. A couple of people mentioned it a while back, but could someone
tell me what the Topcat Manifesto is/was and where it can be found.

Cheers.

Go to http://lists.dumpshock.com/archive and look for a message by TopCat
<topcat@******.net> posted on or about Sun, 19 May 1996 01:14:53 -0500. It
should have exactly what you're after...
