Unless your snark has laser beams I don't see it's even worth reading.

We should start a snark tagging program, so that we might better understand the snark in it's natural environment.

Will there be snarkproof threads, so they we can safely observe the snark in its natural subforum?

If you look into the snark, does the snark look back into you? 

Snark Week. 

May the SNARK be with you!  LLAS

It's a personal retread, but I fear this thread may provoke a Snarknado. Prime the chainsaws.

Will said threads have soothing music, videos of puppies and coloring books so that those who are triggered by the mere observation of snark can calm themselves?

I eagerly await the release of Raiders of the Lost Snark.

Will they find the ancient, mystical repository containing the Epic Almighty Burn?

The suspected origin of "Snark"

Quote
The snark is a fictional animal species created by Lewis Carroll in his nonsense poem The Hunting of the Snark. His descriptions of the creature were, in his own words, unimaginable, and he wanted that to remain so.[1]

The origin of the poem[edit]
According to Carroll, the initial inspiration to write the poem – which he called an agony in eight fits – was the final verse For the snark was a boojum, you see.
Carroll was asked repeatedly to explain the snark. In all cases, his answer was he did not know and could not explain.
Descriptions of the snark[edit]
The poem describes several varieties of snark. Some have feathers and bite, and some have whiskers and scratch. The boojum is a particular variety of snark, which causes the baker at the end of the poem to "softly and suddenly vanish away, and never be met with again".
The snark's flavour is meager and hollow, but crisp (apparently like a coat too tight in the waist), with a flavour of will-o-the-wisp. It is sometimes served with greens. It also sleeps late into the day. While the snark is very ambitious, and has very little sense of humor, it is very fond of bathing-machines, and constantly carries them about wherever it goes. It is also handy for striking a light; the Annotated Snark suggests that this could mean either that its skin is useful for striking matches on, or that it breathes fire.
The domain of the snark is an island filled with chasms and crags, very distant from England. On the same island may also be found other creatures such as the jubjub and bandersnatch. The snark is a peculiar creature that cannot be captured in a commonplace way. Above all, courage is required during a snark hunt. The most common method is to seek it with thimbles, care, forks, and hope. One may also "threaten its life with a railway share" or "charm it with smiles and soap".
