Has this been done recently ? If so I’m sorry, didn’t see it. Anyhoo… I don’t know why I didn’t do this before but I’m only now adding my pick of the best threads to my IE Favourites list. In other words, I’m fishing because I don’t know where to start. There are some absolute gems – entertainment you’d pay good money for – but what’s your personal favourite SDMB thread ? Unless another one crops up, at the moment I’m plumping for the Sex Shop workers thread where Serlin jumps onboard quite early (in another guise, IIRC), we then go on that amazing roller coaster ride for three pages before Arnold steps in with the most sublime twist in the tale – anyone got that link 🙂 ---

Oh! I should also have also said; Don’t go nuts on the server :eek: – hopefully folks will have theirs already saved. ---

I haven’t seen it in a while, but the “Return of the Princess Bride of the Jedi” thread was spit-out-your-coffee funny. ---

[This OP](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=65105#thread65105) is without a doubt one of the most brilliant damn things I’ve ever read. ---

Another chance for me to plug [Halvsie, the two-legged dog](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=51807). Stick through the first couple replies, where some people take me seriously (even with the swimming in circles bit!) and things really get good when **Eve** decides to put Halvsie in a TV show. I also liked the SDMB protest thread, but I can’t find it on a search. (When I search I get a protest thread, but not _the_ protest thread that made Threadspotting.) I’m afraid it may have gotten pruned to help speed the server. ---

I also liked this thread [about my balls](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=77221). Warning, it is kinda rude, so if you’re easily offended you may want to stay away. It’s one of my ruder threads which degenerates into silliness with me declaring a holiday and writing a song. Of course there’s [Funny things said during love making/intimate moments…](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=24960). I’m sure I’ll think of more later. ---

Excellent start people and thank you. Yeah, the 'Intimate Moments one’s a good 'un **Crunchy** : “Is that a _leg_…” What I’m hoping for is the **real classics** and not, at least for me, necessarily what comes immediately to mind. Just remembered the projectile goat projectile thing…the strength of the sheet needed for a safe landing…another one I’d like 🙂 ? ---

“Funny things said during lovemaking” has to be the best thread ever. I have trouble controlling my bodily functions when I read that stuff. Another favourite of mine is the [Evil Nazi Groundhogs](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=15906) thread. PTERODACTYLS!!! I’ve spent the last couple of days reading [Christianity and Love](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=26726) and it’s two sequels. It completely did my head in, but it’s wonderful stuff. (I actually had a dream about **Polycarp** last night. Luckily, **FriendofGod** did not make an appearance.) ---

[Eve’s Date](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=34763) is one of my usually not mentioned favorites. For hours of facination and enlightenment nothing beats the fairly recent Ask the Muslim Guy. ---

Ahhh… what immediately pops into my head is **Karellen’s** cockles-of-my-heart warming [Possible ONION Headlines (Warning: WTC Humor)](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=87707) thread, started 9/17. That thread was the first time I was able to laugh out loud in a week. And, IMO nothing the Onion came up with itself even remotely came close to what’s in that thread. Going back and rereading it, it’s still a Grade A hoot, definitely one for the Permanent Archives. Zotti, you listening? ---
