I must concur with the Honourable Lady Kath, my dear Brother-and-fellow-Warg Scholar. Though I cannot but respect your preeminent position amongst those who admire and revere the great and might Warg, and I have a full appreciation for the deep contributions you have contributed to Man's current understanding of them, I must disagree with you as to the origins of the Crazy Captions thread.

Though these things be a matter of confusion for scholars, so many hundreds of captions have gone by since the inception of the Crazy Captions, that it is no longer easy to discern with whom its origins lay, but the school of thought to which I belong is of the contention that the Wargs did not, in all probability, have a hand in the creation of this now powerhouse amongst threads. Indeed, if one is to examine such evidence as remains of the early years of the thread, it was not a particularly noble or notable thread- and surely any thread founded by the Wargs must indeed have been such a one, as the Werewolf games themselves prove.

It is therefore my contention that the Wargs did NOT found or cause to be founded the Crazy Captions thread. It is likely to my way of thinking, however, that they soon appreciated the potential for rib-cracking humour in the thread, and knowing of the desperate need among Man for such things, in their beneficence, they put forth their assistance that it would grow from one thread among man to the King of All Mirth Threads.

All of which leads me to a most peculiar theory. It is welll known that one "Hookbill the Goomba" is the chief (known) Mastermind behind the current success of the Crazy Captions. If we then are to believe that it was the influence of the Wargs that brought the Captions to their greatness, then ought we not believe that Hookbill- who is associated also with that rise to greatness- is in some way connected to the Wargs?

I think it overpreposterous to assume that Hookbill is, in fact, a Warg, though I do not discount the possibility, unless a Warg Itself should tell me to do so. I do, however, contend that this species or tribe of "Goombas" may, in fact, be part-Wargish in blood.

The prudes among you may recoil at the thought of Man and Warg wedded, but do not these same prudes have no issue with the marriage of Man and Elf? And should they not consider themselves honoured?

As Mark Twain once said, misapplied to cats, crossing a Man and a Warg would improve the Man immensely, but ruin the Warg.

However, history having shown what an effect a strain of Elvish blood had on humanity, for its betterment, how much more so would a strain of Wargish blood have had?

I believe these matter bear further investigation.
