But there are ones from after that time that others may have enjoyed, like the new “Cthulhu Soup” thread.
Funny is defined in many ways. It could be the old “Toilet flushing” thread, or anything with JW’s getting chased by a guy with a sword. Even the LOTR thread, by different authors.
If you have a favorite post, or thread, list them here, so we can laugh. Maybe they have already been listed in other thread, like the one I listed above, but let’s not leave anything out.
About 15 years ago I printed a thread with the phrase Prehensile Rectum. I’m rubbish at linking threads but you can find it easily through the search function. I still laugh until I cry when I read it.
I fondly remember the “Donnie thread”. It was about an in-law family member of the OP who is a constant no-gooder and bullshitter and challenged with every intricacy of social life and fucks up every time hilariously. Comedy gold. I’ve also always enjoyed vivalostwages’ threads about students fucking up in assignment papers.
Sorry, for the heck of it I can’t find the first thread I mentioned, but I confused the name, it was the “Ronny” or “Ronnie” thread. Must have thought of another imbecile…
But I found one of **vivalostwages ** assessment threads. She had some more of those, and they all were hilarious.
There was one with everyone parodying {{ something }} in the style of various authors. It went on & on, with contributions riffing on Hemingway, and … fuck, a buncha others.
Ring a bell for anyone? It was terrific, but I can’t recall WHAT was being parodied so my searches aren’t coming up with anything.
Sure, the famous “If LOTR had been written by someone else” thread.
My own contribution:
a la “Doc” Smith
“QX, Sam!” Cried Frodo. “That zwilnik Gollum had just enough jets to cut me free from that blasted ring!”
Meanwhile Sam’s steely gaze followed the form of Gollum into the cracks of doom. The kinetic energy of its wretched body’s translation into one with the magma became heat. Heat added to heat. It piled up ragingly, frantically, equilibrating, then turning hotter. Hotter! HOTTER! “By Ulmo’s mithralloy bowels, ringman Frodo! We gotta get to clear ether!”
“Udun’s jingling bells, Sam! Its covered. I phialed a message to Galadriel to alert our boys in Aeries we’d be needing them! They’ll be here in 3.3 minutes, Eriador standard time.”
And as the Grand Fleet of the Eagle Patrol blasted away from Mordor airspace with the two second-stage ringmen firmly in their grip, Frodo wondered when he would next be called upon to pull the chestnuts of the Valar out of the fire again.
There was a thread with a story about having to use the bathroom and fumbling at the front door looking for their keys. It was their brain and body’s inner monologue that killed me.
Even the LOTR thread, by different authors.
