I vaguely remember that. We also had someone get quoted in a national magazine from a Breaking Bad thread.
<unzips skull, pulls out brain>
<sighs, stuffs it back in, and rezips skull>
Stupid memory.
@Anastasaeon hasn’t been around in a long time, either.
I also miss Eve Now that I have a job, I intend to buy some of her books.
I remember something like that happening on the giraffe boards, if it’s okay to mention that. Maybe that’s what you’re remembering? So much goatse.
It happened here too. It was, as was said, due to some upgrade in VBulletin.
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.
Who was it that took an ungodly amount of mushrooms and then posted?
That would be Homer … mackdonna handheld shoehorn butterhorse
Hehehe, “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.”
Back when the pit was the place for all your mastercraft rant needs.
My favorite is the Jerry [Lee] Lewis rant. Can’t look up the link on my phone, but I’m sure others here have it bookmarked. I laugh just thinking about it.
Thanks, that’s the thread! And here’s the money shot:
Hal steps away from his computer. Penis ensues.
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.
What happened to Hal? He was a mod at some point IIRC.
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?
I didn’t realize we’d been quoted, but that was an epic thread.
My favorite rant of all time remains this sleeper from a poster named @Ross
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.
