There was the infamous and short-lived **Thaidog** of [“Rock in the box: I burning your dog fame”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=203185). Even after all these years, he is memorable because you could almost figure out what he was talking about but never quite. Don’t read it if you value your Golden Retriever. We also had another poster that was incredulous that someone asked to use her bathroom and then (probably) pooped in it (not on the floor, in the toilet). That was incomprehensible in her mind. We had another one that got off a long international flight, slept longer than normal afterwards and was convinced the only possible explanation was that she had been gassed through the air vents even though nothing was missing. [**My Lord** was the poster obsessed with lion versus tiger fights and he was nothing but thorough when it came time to back up his claims.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=661555) When I told him that the tiger would win, that just fired him up more and he had hundreds of cascading cites going back to ancient paintings that backed up his claims. Oddly enough, I started to believe him over time but lion versus tiger fights seemed to be his only real interest in the world. ---

Speaking of Wildest Bill, here was the thread that sticks in my memory. [“Is there an anecdote for anthrax?”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=91204) Still makes me chuckle. ---

There was the guy who joined to deposit walls of text about the Battle off Samar. When we didn’t automatically agree then he started to attack our abilities as naval commanders. Which none of us had claimed to be. ---

That guy Dio had one weird obsession (maybe not the only one) Statutory rape. Now from a legal sense, the details of the encounter don’t matter one bit (which is BS IMO but there you go). But Dio took it to the next level. It didn’t matter if that 16 year old girl looked like a 45 year old chain smoking hooker that was rode hard and up wet, had enough fake documents that would make James Bond go damn, and even if the skies parted and God said “its okay to tap that ass my friend”…that didn’t matter. You were still a bad bad person. God help his daughters (and their boyfriends :eek:) ---
