The rules are basic. Pick a thread that YOU have started. Give us a link. The thread can have no more than two responses, by no more than one person. (To clear this up, it can only have 2 responses if one was by you or both by the same poster) Give it’s brief obituary (birth/death date, why you think it passed along…blahblahblah)

Started in the line of Penguin Point after having too many drinks in the bar, FBoM&H decided that there was undoubtably a larger Sylvilagus of the cotton stuffed variety out there. It was decided (over more alcohol) that it should be taken to doper court. Alas, it’s life was short.

I found a crucifix in a cab after I’d spent the evening attempting to defend my religion. I don’t care; I still think that’s a neat story. Best Thread Ever Born 8-24-2004, 7:07 AM

My love for a clip show on VH-1 was not shared by the rest of the Doper community. It’s just as well; even I don’t like the show all that much anymore.
