The Strangest Thread You've Seen On The Dope?

Excellent username/post combo.

I cruised the thread by RosieWolf, and noticed this post by Dinsdale in October 2000:
*
While I would prefer that no one ever be killed or injured as the result of this type of violence, I am quite relieved that, in this instance, the target of terrorism was a military target, on alert status, in the Middle East instead of, say, the World Trade Towers, or a Carnival cruise ship in the Caribbean. Whence came the impression that service in our armed forces should be a risk-free occupation?*

That was a bit strange.

You mean, you think he knew too much?

This one.

I mean, Lobsang says to put “Inigo Montoya” into the search engine and Inigo Montoya is then the next poster?
Weeeeeeriiddddd

That reminds me of the poster who used to keep/save/store his own semen in baggies and then asked (in GQ, no less) why (months later) it was turning black.
ETA: Curses! Tapioca Dextrin got to it before me. That’ll teach me to not read the whole topic before replying. :smack:

Okay, here’s an original one then: I THINK his name was Phaderus or something like that. OH MAN. I don’t know if any of his topics still exist. I’m not thinking so, since they would be back in 1999, but when I first came here, I read most all the large topics (especailly in the Pit) from when the board first began. And he was nuts. I mean really, really nuts (or a really good troll).

He was strongly believed to have a sock (I forget the name of it) that apparently was a person who worked for the CIA and was a top secret agent who–among other things–had a keyboard that could only type in capital letters. Or so he claimed.

So much of his topics and posts consisted of:

‘THE GOVERNMENT IS WATCHING US RIGHT NOW’

Totally serious. I wish those topics still existed because it’s hard to believe just hearing about it.

They (TPTB) seemed to let a lot more stuff fly back then. I can’t see anyone like him lasting as long as he did back them THESE days.

Oh, and then there was a guy who made a pit thread about how popular dogs are on a menu. I thought he was a total troll at first…but later on I started to change my mind. He became a pretty good poster.

But yeah, dogs on a menu? What a topic. :wink:

Okay, sorry for the quad posts…but here’s a few links I finally found.

The one where people accuse Phaderus of being other people (including the CIA guy whose name was FORMERAGENT)

And the sequel to that thread, made by former mod/member manhattan in which he calls Phaderus out in owing him 10,000 dollars (after finding two members who made posts at the same time–see thread one)
Crazy stuff.

To be honest, the answer is much less fantastical. I accidentally clicked on “Threads start ed by… (myself)”, read the thread, and without looking at the dates, responded.
I had no idea it would cause such a buzz, but I’m back now.

Oh yeah, Max says Hi!
Cheers!

It could be that Inigo Montoya puts “Inigo Montoya” into the search engine once every 5 minutes or something :smiley:

Or he could just have that same power as Voldemort.

I think he should at least be brought in for questioning. :slight_smile:

Btw, here’s a quick :wink: to Idle Thoughts and a ‘thank you’ for giving my “Dog on the menu” thread a shout!

I also like how this thread is starting to qualify for my own OP, as a result of the eclectic subject matter covered thus far.

Very Vaguely Creepy

Thread.

For my contributions - I don’t think that Goat Cannons has been mentioned yet. And don’t forget labia!

Here’s one no one else will post, probably because it’s so inane: I remember someone once posted “A new Hungry Howie’s opened up in our town, are they any good?” I couldn’t believe how many posts it took before someone finally said “Dude, it’s like $10, just go get a pizza and find out!”

I just thought it odd and surreal that we now depend on the internet soooo much we can’t even decide to try a cheap pizza anymore without consulting it, lol.

Ta-da. I hadn’t read it before, but it was worth the search. Kid was getting so annoyed by the end (“I’m not even going to bother to ask if there really is a sequel.”)

That is absolute gold. I have been sitting here in my open plan office laughing like a mad woman reading it.

There was a sequel that one…called Pit Thread.

Electric Sun, anyone?

Let’s not forget, the “bagel dog penis”.

Damn, that was a good 'un! Keep them coming, Dopers. :smiley:

Btw, I’m reading “Dinosaurs and Man - TOGETHER!!!11!”, and might be bringing it in to the fold if it’s any good, so keep ya greedy eyes off it!
