I’m going to agree with **Eutychus** here. In fact, I was just about to submit a thread called “I Want to Know: Who thinks this joke has been driven into the ground?” and then I saw this one. (I actually wrote it when there were only 3 parody threads, but now I see we’re up to 5.) It was fun for a while, but I think that it’s definitely run its course and we should stop now. ---

I want to know why I was not cool enough to name my thread “I want to know if you like me…as a blond” Cursing my lack of insight. ---

I’m sorry, **Euty** , I just broke down and did it. Feel free to kill mine whenever you get to it. ---

I’m disappointed that a MODERATOR could start such a lame thread. How can we mere members answer this - you guys let the threads run. Have you stopped beating your wife? ---

Well, the cruel way to solve the problem would be to move them all to IMHO. They are asking other people’s opinions right? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Tranquilis \* > \*\*At least it’s not as annoying as “All you \ belong…”. > [sub]Maybe[/sub] \*\* I think the most overdone thing lately are the insults that go, “Listen, you filth-based-adjective type-of-malignant-growth-noun on the medical-condition-adjective body-part-noun of a disease-adjective horrible-small-animal-noun swearword-wad”. It was ok when Monty Python did that stuff, but it’s 30 years old! Sorry for the hijack. ---

But when _I_ did it, it was still fresh and witty. \*\* I have to confess that when I posted to **Milo** ’s thread, I didn’t even realize it was supposed to be a parody. (Though I did think to myself “didn’t we have a question about ‘brie’ a while back?”) ---
