I mentioned somewhere else the time I was at the dentist and, in mid-dental operation, I recalled that thread, which caused me to suddenly laugh like a jackass and have many complicated dental implements removed from my mouth in a hurry. ---

The two that have really sent me into uncontrollable laughter are, of course, The horror of blimps and **Wang-Ka** ’s [Jehovah’s Witness encounter](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2826351&highlight=witness#post2826351). I also got a good laugh out of the triple post that set off the whole 1920s death ray phenomenon, but that’s been so overdone already I don’t find it funny any more. ---

In addition to the “funniest things said during lovemaking” (which kept me up all night laughing), there was one “tell us your penis size” thread that I can’t seem to find now. After a lot of Dopers had given above-average lengths for their members, someone said something like, “I’d have a 10 inch dick, too, if I measured from my asshole.” That just cracked me up, and it has always stuck with me. ---

A few that I remember: **Scylla** ’s groundhogs. The original (and sadly lost) **Phaedrus** GD debacle. The original _Enterprise_ vs. Star Destroyer thread. The original “Thread” thread. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by andros \* > \*\*A few that I remember: > > The original “Thread” thread. \*\* I assume this is referring to an older “thread” thread. Do you have a link to it or some keywords (other than “thread” obviously) that I could use to locate it? The one I started within the past few weeks has been fun, but not all that “funny” in the sense of ha-ha. Just weird mostly. ---

Thanks for looking for that, **andros**. I now recall having seen that thread referenced in something else I read since coming on board. That was some clever stuff. At the time I read it (well not every post but most of it) I thought it was neat. Later, when the notion of the more recent “thread” thread came to me, I had “forgotten” seeing that older one. I don’t think the two are along similar lines, but that’s just my view. If anything, I think the post in the later “thread” thread that mentions Hofstadter is closer to the origin of the idea I had for the thread, especially after it got going with other posts and other people’s input. ---
