I just read that thread and couldn’t stop laughing. This is the third forum I’ve seen where he posts that stuff and eventually gets banned for derailing every thread with his doom and gloom routine. I wish I could find one of his threads because it was hilarious. ---

Does anybody else occasionally miss **Wildest Bill**? His legacy lives on (“gotcha ya!”) but I don’t know if many people still remember him. But as good as that thread was, it couldn’t beat [I Just Got 6 Tickets AT ONCE by seven COPS.

One of my favorite all-time banned posters, Wildest Bill-- banned for being too stupid to be true, I believe-- had some whoppers: Mexican fat burners, squealing tired cop car chases (if someone can find this thread, I’d sure be appreciative). The thread were ‘Gotcha ya’ came from: > **[I Am Going To Blow People Mind's At My Funeral](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=80870)** > > I have always been a little different(to say the least huh). So I really don’t want to have a boring funeral like everybody else has. I mean it is depressing enough that somebody died then people go and wear black and have boring depressing music... My favorite thread title of all time. [Would Are Eco Sytem be Ok if We Extincted Mosquitos?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=83579) Does anyone remember the guy who claimed all posters were lying because the things they posted about could not really be happening? The bizzaro family feud that emcompassed multiple MPSIMS and Pit threads and involved killing terrorists and posters named ‘potato’ and ‘wolfie’ or somesuch? Man, I remember the threads but with not enough detail to search. ---

The bizarre workarounds you’d have to do to never, ever see yourself naked would be seriously fucked up, man. Especially if you’re a menstruating adult woman. Hey, I think it’s strange and unusual, but even if you don’t accidentally catch a glimpse, why commit the person over it? It’s not like you’d ever know unless they told you. And the poster in question just said she didn’t look in the mirror and didn’t look down in the shower. Why would you need to see yourself naked while menstruating, anyway? I don’t think I look at myself anymore when I am. ETA: **Coldfire** sounds familiar, what was up with him? ---

The bizarre workarounds you’d have to do to never, ever see yourself naked would be seriously fucked up, man. Especially if you’re a menstruating adult woman. Exactly. Forget menstruation, how would you know you washed all the soap off you in the shower? How do you even get dressed in the morning? I’m not the most coordinated (OK, I’m a klutz), but if tried to put on my underwear and pants without looking down I’d be flat on my in a few seconds. And the person should be committed because to actually never see yourself naked requires such obsessive behaviors that you’d have to be completely crazy to do it. The kind of crazy that would obviously shine through in other areas of your life.
