"Well, the house burnt to the ground, but at least we saved the mailbox!"
becomes
"We saved the mailbox from the fire! Hooray!"

"Well, the house burnt to the ground, but at least we saved the mailbox!"
becomes
"We saved the mailbox from the fire! Hooray!"

Becomes "Ooh! Mail!"
Becomes "I won one million dollars! And they only want my social security number, my bank info, a 20 thousand down payment, my immortal soul, and for me to cut down Mt Everest with a newt? Where do I sign?"

[Tawa]

Well, next to the line marked "Ni", of course. You must sign it with a pen made from a shrubbery, with ink made from a mix of coconut milk and the blood of an African or European unladen swallow. Then you must bravely run away to the post office.^{_{Wik a moose}}

I'm sorry, but your "cut down Mt. Everest with a newt" remark got me going.

[KingofstarrySkies]

An African or American swallow?

I don't know that. Wait. AAAHHHH

[Eric Blank]

I can just imagine a man walking up to the base of Mount Everest and smacking it repeatedly with a barely conscious newt.

A Sherpa walks by, asks what the hell they are doing

They tell him they are cutting down the mountain with a live (dead now) newt because someone promised them money if they did so.

The Sherpa goes off to rethink his life. Buddhism v2 is born shortly thereafter

[Tawa]

Some time later, a small bird sharpens its beak on the now cut-down Mt. Everest, wearing it away and signalling the end of one eternity.

I've finally figured it out. Douglas Adams is Bay12 from the future, in which we bond together unto one entity, and then go back in time to write books.

We're geniuses! Or will be. Or were. Or...

AGH.

[Furtuka]

 No. Us in the future is Pathos. Just as the us of the present and past are.

AGH.

Then, partway through the bonding ritual, the more reference-oriented Bay12ers split off and become Zack Johnson, creator of Kingdom of Loathing, while the upperboards splinter off and form Toady.

No. Us in the future is Pathos. Just as the us of the present and past are.

Ah, yes, but Douglas Adams was also Pathos, so there is no contradiction.
