Best of lists are everywhere- whether for greatest films, greatest songs, greatest stand-ups, greatest tv moments, or VH1 productions on everything from greatest one-hit wonders to 50 greatest bowel movements of the pop stars. Okay, I made that last one up, but barely; these lists are legion.
Thus, I feel SD should have some of our ‘best of’ lists. I know of the bookmarked threads that are selected for the main page of SD, so that’s kind’ve a best of list… But, my list is more specific: The 50 Greatest SD Rants of all time.
The rules are that it must conform to a ‘rant’ as defined by common sense, that it can be on any topic, it can be honestly-angry or surreally so, it can appear in any forum (although the majority will probably be in Pit or GD), it does not have to be the full part of a post or thread (it can just be a ranting paragraph in an otherwise calm post/OP/thread), and that we vote on them democratically at the end.
An obvious contender for first place would be I Burning Your Dog, a surreal rant to say the least that has had a lasting impression. I have read it, and I even know that it was posted in August of 03, but I can’t friggin find it. Link? I’m so ashamed…
That was so funny. I laughed out loud so much, my wife kept bugging me about what I was reading. I had to send the link over. She is now reading aloud making it nearly impossible to type.
