Hands down, JDT. His was a special kind of crazy. Even years afterwards, you’d only have to mention the initials and _everyone_ knew who you were talking about. ---

I also seem to recall a thread in which everyone was arguing how many domestic cats a single person could fend off in a fight to the death. The strategies involved were great, especially the one about taking two dead cats and tying the tails together to make nunchucks to beat the remaining cats to death with. Classic. ---

Anyone remember the guy who shoved his wedding ring up his nose? That thread was so random and made me join in 2003. Sadly, I can’t find it anymore. It was hilarious, because after the one guy shoved his wedding ring up his nose, most of the other posters responding began trying, too, and a couple got their wedding rings stuck. I was glad I had an office with a door at the time because I was laughing so hard I was crying by the end. ---

Some posters seem to have a peterntatural fascination with semen. F’r instance [Why is my semen black and orange?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=286416) Incidentally, searching for semen + orange produces waaaay too many results :o 🆒 ---

Yeah, I was just sad that I’m not married, because I wanted to stick my wedding ring up my nose, too. Clearly, the answer to “If everybody else jumped off a bridge, would you jump off a bridge too?” is “Yes. Yes, absolutely yes.” ---

Some of thes links had me gigglin’ like a loon. Hilarious! There was a pretty strange thread once where someone was seriously wondering why eating pepperoni pizza made your testicles hurt. Bwhaaaaa. Then he realized from everone’s replies that it was only happening to him so it ended with a “nevermind”. Double bwhaaaaaa.
