> Me second is the recent thread where dopers popped in to offer me support of an upcoming operation. It really made me feel good and whatever they did, it seemed to work!

I’ve always liked that thread as well. I was a bit nervous posting my tribute to my dad as I didn’t know if people would think I was being callous and trying to steal your spotlight. I’m glad the thread went the way it did.

I guess my best thread was my [Homicidal Maniac loose in this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=217102) game that I thought went quite well and I thought I spun a darn fine mystery.

Oh my no! I’m so glad you did what you did, it got the ball rolling, and it was exactly what I wanted people to share! 🙂

It’s on a subject near and dear to my heart, so…

[Colossal squid found in Antarctic](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=174556).

Lots of interesting posts about weird creatures out there.

I’m going to break the rules and post a thread that was started _about_ me. Surely that’s a form of self promotion!

[Democritus-Pucker Up, Ass Slammer!](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=7224)

As you can see, I suck at The Pit, but some of the flames in there are classics by the masters.  
\*note - My old username was Democritus.

Made me laugh like a crazy person.
