I’ve done a couple of searches and I can’t find it, but my favorite SDMB post of all time was in a thread in GQ asking what a T. Rex could do with his tiny little forearms. > [@I wish I could remember who](#): > > He could throw them up in the air, and wave them like he just didn’t’ care. ---

Scylla’s blimp post always makes me LOL heartily. And thanks **PR** for the shout-out 🙂 ---

[QUOTE=Autolycus] Scylla’s blimp post always makes me LOL heartily. [/QUOTE] It was that very post that my wife used to introduce me to the Dope ages ago. Although I have laughed at many a post since then, it holds a special place in my heart. 🙂 ---

She was just repeating it from an earlier thread. The originator was a guy named **Wildest Bill** who has been gone many years because of a tragic banning accident. Bill was actually an interesting and witty guy with good stories but the general consensus was that he just wasn’t bright enough to hang around us. Still, his legacy still haunts the boards in small ways today. ---

Jumping on the blimp bandwagon. I tried to read it aloud to my husband, and couldn’t get through it. It’s near the top of the list of funniest things I’ve ever read in my life. ---

I’ve been lurking here a long time. My favorite post has to be lieu’s comment on the threatening nature of bad grammar in the “I burning your dog” thread. Since I’m a guest and I can’t search (that I know of), can someone please link me to the thread so that I may bookmark it and enjoy that post over and over again forever? ---

After I made fun of my then-GF (now wife) for reading an internet message board, she (rightfully so) got a bit pissy. So I asked to see what was so funny. What I saw was: [Kathy and the Kool-Aid Suicide Bible](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=6458544&postcount=345) A few months later, I wanted to post something myself, and $29.90 later… ---

My personal favorite was from [this one](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=305728&postcount=7) by **scissorjack** ( **it’s #7** ), long preceding my membership here. (There are several more like it afterward in that thread – it’s really worth reading the entire thing.) BTW, how do you show just one post? ---
