Sorry for the lazy-ass link-free posting, but OTTOMH I’d go with three “Star Wars”-related threads:
the very, very long (and very, very funny, although IIRC the thread posters made their arguments with the utmost seriousness, for the most part, in a manner largely devoid of self-conscious irony, which made it even funnier) thread in which obsessive SW fans and Trekkies debated the technical and military merits of the Empire/Rebel Alliance vs. the Federation, etc.;
the shorter but also funny thread debating just how lame the elevated tanks… er, AT-ATs or Imperial Walkers were, WRT the limitations of their strategic and tactical utility in the field of battle;
the “Star Wars” pizza thread. For its peppery wit, its saucy attitude, oh stop me already.
Hey, sometimes you just feel like “nothing but Staaar Waaaaaars, don’t let it end!”
Oh, dear. I suppose we’d have to include Thank You, Dopers, and (eventually) Pitters!, the chaos that ensued, and the various scathing Pit Threads that spawned thereafter. I mean, that was a trainwreck. In other words–real, compelling drama!
Waddya mean, if there were reruns. Seems most of the threads in GD these days are reruns.
Anyhew. . .
I’d pick the Corrupt Wish Game from a few years back. It had some of the cleverest writing I’ve ever seen on these boards. Alas, it got caught up in the Great Game Thread Crackdown; otherwise, that sucker would probably still be going on.
The thread on the reality of scalar weapons would be a good one, and, given its massive length, might be able to fill a large section of the summer schedule by itself.
Americans - are fries and bacon always finger food?
Half way through the Americans, Canadians and English realize that we call different meat bacon. This then begs the question of which one does bacon salt taste like.
Ooh. I’d like to nominate the “Ask the Hulk” thread. Can some one dredge up a link to that and the Star Wars ones up higher. I wish I had the ability to search the board.
I also enjoyed the aborted Superman/Spiderman SWAP stories.
The Electric Sun thread has always been a favorite of mine. Nutball theory, but with a happy ending. Hope TheFonz is doin okay.
Okay, so prolly no one else remembers this one, but it was one of the ones that got me started on here.
Okay, so prolly no one else here knows who I am but… um… :smack:
