[QUOTE=Zebra]  
There was a thread, in which someone pitted his brother for playing a trick with two christmas decorations. I think one was just a Santa head, (Santa Head of Doom?) and the other was a dancing Santa. He rigged them to set each other off and scared the she-it out of the poster.  
[/QUOTE]

Haha! That was me! I was the victim of the Disembodied Santa Head [Of Death]. It even got [Threadspotted](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=132109). Truly one of my greatest moments on SDMB. Also nice to read now, five years later. My brother’s grown a lot. 😃

Well bless my heart, I did a search on my username and “shit pants” and lo and behold, here it is the classic poopy pants thread:

I think this thread will win the award, but there was another one…The \*Reefer Madness \* thread, in which **Seven** boils down the plot in post #18. Pure genius.

My vote goes to **cmyk** ’s [DON’T Stump the Guy with Average Knowledge](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=441590&highlight=stump) thread.

It was just so unpredictable which answers he would get and not get, and he was such a good sport about the whole thing. It was also funny to see the Braniac Dopers realize they were losing the game if they showed off their own smarts too much. 😃

As did I. Sadly, he is out of print copies and has been for a while. Just in case anyone else wants one.

I did ask if he’ll have any more any time in the future. He hasn’t answered me yet.

There was one thread a while back that I absolutely loved. I believe the OP had been on an interview and been asked what kind of animal he would like to be and why. He thought this a strange question and asked the Dopers what kind of animals _they_ would be. Hilarity ensued. There was one post in particular that I still remember. Someone decided they’d like to be pubic lice and used the phrase “calling, calling softly from your underwear…” I couldn’t breathe for laughing.

Since you guy have mad SDMB search skillz, maybe you can clue me in on the whole \*\*Autolycus \*\* and the ladle thing? I missed that one.

And speaking of Threadspotting, I give you **Velma** and [The Cooler of Death](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=177712).

Oh. Um…bit sorry now that I asked, considering I met said Doper at OrlanDope, and there are some things that…er, well.

Okay, thanks.

[QUOTE=Kyla]  
I know I’ve posted this before in similar threads, but when I need a laugh, I sometimes go back and read [Would you shoot child and kill your child in this situation?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=289696&) (It’s a lot funnier than the title might suggest, I promise.)  
[/QUOTE]  
I think the title’s pretty funny. It reads like Frankenstein said it: “Would you shoot child? I no shoot child! I throw child down well! Fire bad! Arghh!”

I wonder how you pronounce “favoritef”.

What, doesn’t everybo…?

Thank you, thank you, for reanimating this beauty. Looking forward to hours of fun, exploring these.

MY question - in the last year there was a “your funniest joke” thread, which kinda got outa hand, as well as funnier and funnier, and finally a mod named something like Mrs Grundy stepped in and closed it. I searched awhile ago and couldn’t locate it. Do the mods have the power to VANISH a thread?

Since I linked to our Christmas tradition thread (12 years ago!), here’s our Thanksgiving tradition thread: [Is Alice’s Restaurant a tradition for your Thanksgiving?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=632529) After bumping it this year, I reread it and it is hilarious.
