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.
Okay, sorry for the quad posts…but here’s a few links I finally found.
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
Or he could just have that same power as Voldemort.
I think he should at least be brought in for questioning.
Btw, here’s a quick 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.
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.
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!
