Perhaps when you stop laughing you’ll forget I ever existed… \*\* I really, really hate you now Mrblue. Every single time I read that damned thread, I am overcome by fits of uncontrollable laughter. Every time! Why, oh why did not not at least name the thread. My children are shaking their heads at me now. “Mommy, you didn’t look at _that_ thread again, did you?” Definitely the most milage per post of any thread ever. ---

Most of the good ones I remember are already posted, but since you did it to me, I see now reason why I can’t try it on you. Lively debate, name changes, tears and Biggirl gets really snippy.

I gave you the classic Monkey Butler, a post of pure hilarity from a drunken fool (no offense, Homer), and you gave me 14 _pages_ of rants on terrorism and obesity. Ugh. Why don’t you just jab a pointy stick in my eye while you’re at it? 🙂 ---

Well, this is the first thread that I started. Well, I accidentally started.

Don’t forget the classic newbie-torching, the trip to the Pit, the tragic downfall of the OPer, and double-posts galore. And the hijcked debate over the debating skills of the new debater by the more experianced debater who refused to actually debate the OP. What fun. I’m wiping tears of remembrance from my eyes as we speak. I don’t know if this counts as historical, but it’s funny as hell: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=38764](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=38764) Also, I keep trying to search out all these references to “Melingate,” which seemed to have happened just before Melin was banned, but to no avail. I just keep finding more and more references to Melingate. Anybody know what I am talking about? ---

Just as a tease, this is part of Homer’s thread about 'shrooming that I linked above: > [@](#): > > Everything that’s happened in the last 10 minutes is happening right now and I can feel every bit of electricity in the universe. The monitor has cat eyes and is lookin at me he wants to eat me because the monitor is the cheshire cat and he’s hungry for pussy he’s way too horny. Okay I’m okay it’s just I don’t controll my breathing anymore. My body subcontracted it to this guy in pittsburg and he breathes for me because it’s too weak where I’m at to work. I have never laughed as hard as I did when I read that! I even have it linked in my Favorites file. The part about the Chestire cat - I picture Nathan Lane waving his hands in front of a TV camera “he’s hungry for pussy he’s way too horny” with his eyes open really wide. Maybe that’s just me though. 😉 ---

MrBlue - I read about her banishment, but that thread references Melingate, and so do several others I’ve read. So I thought perhaps Melingate was a seperate incident, though I could be wrong. Just wondering. 🙂 ---

The Very Vaguely Creepy thread…dont feel like linking it b/c I don’t know how to do it the way you guys do…but it lasted ten pages, and was the site of Gunslinger, Racinchikki, and my flirting. Plus without it, gun and racin would never have become virtually married. Its great. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nominate-the-most-historically-significant-threads-what-did-i-miss/42194.md?page=1)
