I’d like to nominate
Children’s Book Titles You Are Unlikely To See .
I just think it’s one of the funniest threads, and that we collectively excelled ourselves in terms of wit, creativity, imagination and wicked, mischievous humour.
Can anyone find a link to a poster called Freak freely who had a meltdown? I’d like to read it!
Is this the one you wanted?
How about Mike Hunt for President?
Thanks to Eve for linking to it in QTM’s My patient, Og thread
Actually, at the risk of blowing my own trumpet, [url=http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=305728] Toy Story - No Gun For Woody? is much funnier.
My coding, on the other hand, is no laughing matter.
A lot of greats out there. I nominate:
- In the words of Zut, “…one of the top ten coolest threads ever. An unfolding etymological thrillah!” What’s the origin of riding shotgun?
2.John Carter of Mars’ masterpiece- Mail order bride & sour honey
3.An unknown classic- Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. A fairly ordinary thread until the appearance of NYNJVATXPA, arguably the stupidest, most mule-headed poster ever in comments on staff reports. Worth checking out.
Sorry, have to add one more.
Mangetout’s brilliant Fun and Games with Mr Austin Wemba. This could easily have been number one on my list.
Well, I’ve only been here a couple of months, so I’m a bit green to nominate a “best of” anything, but having said that…
I was rather proud of the way Urban Renewal – WTF?? developed. What I started as a semi-rant was picked up and expounded upon in a series of great posts by some regulars, Exapno Mapcase key among them. It developed into a truly memorable thread, for me at least.
And then, Mrs. Tulip screamed, a sound like a fire engine might make if it were giving birth to an SUV.
I imagined what this would sound like, and laughed so hard the people in the office down the hall came to see what was so funny. 
Wow. A lurker. I’m touched. 
Can you believe that, after another couple classic meltdowns, she still works here? I’m wondering what she’s got on the head of HR, and if there are pics.
I third the nom for auntie em’s coworker threads; that woman was seriously whacked.
There have been so many threads that had me laughing so hard I cried, but my favorite game was the “A story…one word at a time” thread.
One of the funniest OPs I’ve ever read: My Bladder Knows I’m Home though not an especially long thread.
And there’s the naughty-bits-waxing thread which joined the realm of Internet lore, - originally documented in this thread
Nothing surpasses the amazing Pimple thread
Oooh! Can I add another one? Dopers On How To Be Pretentious.
:: air kiss right cheek ::
:: air kiss left cheek ::
I know people who do that. But they’re not pretentious; they’re just French.
Let us never forget this interminable look at the mind of the credophile and the futility of trying to debate some people.
Am I the first to mention the Guy Stuff thread?
And our growing repository of computer-geek mutual support: Have a Computer Question? Read this first
Distant precedessor to other Lord of the Rings threads to come, the hot Great Debates topic of its day was once Should the LOTR movies be made?
My favorite thread on the board vaporized at some point (and it wasn’t part of the Winter of our Missed Content, either, it just vanished on its own). Coldfire set up Mullinator to write love-letters to any female doper who posted a request in the form “Do me, mully, do me!!!”. I don’t know why it amused me so much, but it did…I gather that it was Coldfire making Mully make good on something he’d said in passing in some other context, since he later posted “You’re as good as your word”…in the mean time, a couple dopers obligingly signed up, the resultant letters were quite good, and on very short notice there was a long long waiting list
I nominate Kids vs teachers, which ponders, in uniquely Doper fashion, the question:
Who would win in a fight between all the children in an elementary school vs all the teachers?
I just read the first page and was about to continue when I saw “Page 1 of 36.” Yikes!
