What I don’t want:  
We have Pigeon Eggs (only because this one never really “grabbed” me)  
Anything by Sampiro (only because I’ve already read them all!)

I need some juicy DRAMA! Suggestions?

The a thread doesn’t contain drama, but it is epic.  
I tried to search for it but I killed the sdmb in the process…

[found wallet from the 70s](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=403719) \<- It’s got real-life mystery, ancient clues, collaborative sleuthing. A SDMB classic.

[I Pit the Pampered Chef Party I went to.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=407668) \<- It’s got a crazy backwards pit, a recalcitrant OP, a ridiculous pile-on. A personal favorite.

[Man arrested in connection with ignoring “bag checker” at Circuit City](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=435143) \<- Contentious, lively, and extremely serious debate over a pretty petty issue, eventually locked after 600+ posts. Another personal favorite.

There may be some “epic threads” mentioned at [The truly great threads in SDMB history](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=508687) but I wanted to have these crosslinks for future reference.
