Is He Dead Jim?

[Randy]

Has anyone noticed that 3 people account for over half of the 
messages posted on this list in August?

Did everyone else dissapparate?

Perhaps we should pick a topic that someone would like to discuss?

Politics?
Music?
Other authors?

That jerk that keeps bothering me?
That nice person I want to get to know?

Why does JKR have to kill off a great character and piss off half of 
her fans?
What I did on my summer vacation?

Who would I like to turn into a toad?
Why does Neville have a toad?
Is the toad an important character like Scabbers?
Perhaps the toad is Voldemort's twin brother separated at Birth?

What brother?  You know the nicer looking one in the baby picture!
Perhaps the toad is chewing all of that gum and leaving the wrappers!
Perhaps Neville's twin brother was turned into the toad!
Perhaps the toad carries the Mark of Voldemort and will save the day 
at the end of the books!

Why did we ever let this guy on the list, anyway?

Is there anyone out there?

OKAY
Let's say Harry,Ron, and Hermione walk into a bar....
What do they say?
"Ouch!"  
Because it hurts when you walk into a bar! (and bonk your head or 
something on the bar!)

Okay, Let's say the Toad leads the House Elfs in the next great Elf 
rebellion and ...
Hey!  Enough about the toad already!!!!
Well, I was just trying to start some discussion....
Well, this kind of inane drivel is what drove all these people away 
in the first place!
OK, I know when I'm not wanted.
Fine.
POOF!  Both of them dissapparate.
