I know it is early, but I think that

[THIS CALCUTTA SEWER OF A THREAD](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=177224) has to be acknowledged as THREAD OF THE YEAR 2003.

I also want to nominate HASTUR/MOCKINGBIRD as best male poster and everyone’s favorite DIANE as best female poster for their contributions to this debacle.

Best supporting female poster has to go to LOLACOCACOLA for her witty and insightful posts and surprisingly best Male supporting poster goes to FESSIE (I hope its a guy, if not who cares) for 2 very well placed posts. ALL in this same demented thread.

INDYGIRLL did a great job, particularly towards the end, but DIANE was a tour de force. And HASTUR/MOCKINGBIRD was just downright brilliant in his evil performance.

These two are the new GABLE/LOMBARD of the boards in my humble opinion, and I think that there is some chemistry between the 2 of them that could lead to some real time “friendship”

The thread went way over budget and the moderator/producers were not really sure when to pull the plug as you will see when you get to page 4 & 5.

Anyway, if you haven’t already experienced this nightmare, enjoy it and remember that we are here to fight ignorance.

Not to be a bluenose, but aren’t you a bit obsessed with the linked thread? You posted to the original thread repeatedly, brought it up in a completely unrelated Pit thread and now started another thread to draw attention to it.

I’ll nominate **Scylla** ’s blimp thread. No link should be needed, as you’ve probably gotten a copy in your inbox already. 😉

That is a very good movie.

I thought you’d say “You like me , you really really like me”

You are so unpredictable. Enjoy that Yanni concert. I know you will be there.
