"Gulp," Mark repeated, staring at the doom on wheels racing down the track toward him and realizing that in most episodic story lines it's important to give the audience a chance to remember where things stood when they last left off.

It was during this pensive moment that fellow blogger and HNT participant, Susie appeared seemingly out of nowhere, yelling out the words: "I'll save you!"

"Oh, Susie, you're just boss!" Mark yelled.

Susie grabbed at Mark's legs and pulled hard.

Mark's pants came off.


"Hey, what's the big idea?" Mark said.

"Opps," Susie giggled. "Of course this is Half Nekkid Thursday, and you haven't shown much skin lately. I thought I'd do my part and help out."

"Stop goofing around and get me off these tracks. Please."


"Oh, alright," Susie said, taking off her t-shirt. "Okay, now my arms and shoulders are bare, so I now qualify for HNT." And she reached down and grabbed Mark by a leg and pulled him off the track.

"Oh thanks so much," Mark gushed. "You saved my life."

"T'weren't nothing," Susie said with a rue smile.

"Oh no, I just realized I don't have any pants on."

"So," Susie laughed. "You've definitely shown more skin in your HNT posts."

"No," Mark said. "It's not that. I was hoping I could show off my Spider-Man underwear on another post."


"Oh, don't be silly," Susie said. "I'm sure you have plenty of other Spider-Man boxers to show off in future HNT's."

"Yeah, you're right."

Mark paused and looked at Susie. "Wow, it's so cool to meet you in person. But how did you end up on MY blog and in THIS storyline?"

"Ah my friend. There are more things in the blogosphere than are dreamt of in your philosophies. It's likely that I sensed a need in a fellow blogger and stepped in to help. Bloggers can be quite empathetic."

"Wow," Mark said. "And I thought that the internet was just good for porn and stuff."

"No, no, no, you're thinking about The Other HNT. This is the regular HNT."

Just then, lazer fire shot out at the two of them.

"Oh no!" Mark said. "Darth and his crew must have seen that I got away from the train. Now they're shooting at us."

Will Mark and Susie be able to escape the line of fire?
Will the silly and bizarre backgrounds continue to haunt this series?
