No, there was a short free-for-all period here right before an upgrade where it was pretty much anything goes because it was understood for technical reasons that there would be a couple day gap between the last backup and the restore to the new system.

It was prehensile rectum. I printed it and still laugh hysterically when I read it.

Jokes about ladles had a short but amusing run when a young member unwisely mentioned various objects he had attempted to press into service for sexual gratification.

That thread was posted on Slashdot, back when being posted on Slashdot resulted in a torrent (pun not intended) of internet traffic.
It’s also how I came to join the board. My very first posts were submissions to that thread, iirc a Robert Ludlum parody and an imagined episode of Antiques Roadshow in Hobbiton.

That goes waaaay back, man. I still can’t believe he was serious.
Also, I can’t remember where we ended up on the whole “Wally” thing - entertaining board member, or annoying jerk? Or a bit of Column A, bit of Column B?

You have to read the thread down to post #27 (I think) from him to get the full payoff but still, IMHO it’s a beautiful thing. I still sometimes - at least to myself - use the phrase “WHEN I RULE THE WORLD EVERY DAY WILL BE THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING AND YOU WILL FUCK OFF.”

The “When is February 33rd” and “The History of Lucky Charms” were some of my favorite threads.
