Yes indeed! I remember this thread, and would love to search it out and link to it, but I doubt that I could track it down, “the” and “gay” being unsearchable. Anyway, I’m pretty sure that it was that thread that made “catching The Gay” one of the board’s in-jokes (like, say, 1920’s-style death rays).

Yeah, I tried to search for it initially, and wondered why I got so many irrelevant results. Then I realized that my search for **got the gay you know grandmother** was only really searching for **know grandmother**. Boy, do I hate that four-letter search term minimum.
