Okay, I will plead guilty to the fact I love threads deemed “too pointless”. Although it is my 2008 resolution to try and remain better behaved, there is no denying that these little gems are a guilty pleasure of mine. 2007 had a good collection of these which I have started this thread to share. If my “favorite moments” of 2007 thread was a nice pleasant 2007 year end review, this of this as “America’s Funniest Home Video, Year End Review”. No duplicate threads, or acting like a jerk, just MPSIMS threads that are \*too \* MPSIMS. Kind of like the best of the worse, but someone already stole that title. I hope you enjoy. 🙂 \*\* Disclaimer disclaimer! I am not encouraging any of you to go out and start more threads in this vein, these delicate beasts occur in the wild enough too keep me amused. Also, to prevent zombie threads the only ones I linked are locked. \*\* Chain of thought party fun time > **[Chain of thought party fun time](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=410534)** > > Hey all, I can type very fast and I enjoy writing the occassional stream-of-consciousness diary, so I figured it’s maybe OK to post here for anyone to read or even contribute their own.

That’s a good list. Any threads more mundane and pointless than those have long since disappeared from my awareness. Sad to see **Inigo Montoya** ’s name so prominent. He’ll be missed among the connoisseurs of the truly M&P! ---

This truly is the best anthology of the worst that we can do for mundane and pointless. I aspire to make the list next year. SSG Schwartz ---

[QUOTE=SSG Schwartz] I aspire to make the list next year. SSG Schwartz [/QUOTE] I can’t tell if you want to do the work of digging through a years worth of mindless threads to write the anthology, or you want to unintentionally write a “so bad it’s good” thread which will be immediately locked down. I did both. I will aspire to not make the list in 2008. In fact, I hope to only write the most fantastical and funny threads for this forum in 2008, which will sprout like a monstrous plant, generating more relevant discussion than any other thread that has come before it! But yah, knowing me I’ll probably make it again too.
