Almost exactly one year since an update, but here are some I ran across today. They’re mostly list of other threads:
Has this been done recently ? If so I’m sorry, didn’t see it. Anyhoo… I don’t know why I didn’t do this before but I’m only now adding my pick of the best threads to my IE Favourites list. In other words, I’m fishing because I don’t know where to...

What is the most interesting thread ever started on the SDMB?

That’s right, I’m back to inflict yet another mind-crushing run through the board’s statistics on everyone. On the slim chance that anyone was paying attention to me, this is the “larger study” that I’ve referenced on a couple of occasions...
Life, Death, and Exile (SDMB stats, extremely long)

Best of lists are everywhere- whether for greatest films, greatest songs, greatest stand-ups, greatest tv moments, or VH1 productions on everything from greatest one-hit wonders to 50 greatest bowel movements of the pop stars. Okay, I made that last...

Thanks for putting this up. As a newbie, I appreciate it.
sure that’s what you say now. then in a week when you’ve done nothing but chase threads and meanders then you’ll sing a different tune.

Does anyone remember the brassiere fitter threads?
The ones where the bloke in London applied at, I believe, Harrods for the position of brassiere fitter?
Or was that part of the WOOMC?
Okay, I read it. I laughed. BUT when I got to the end to hear the rest of the story, the link didn’t work. What happened?
Oh my god. I just read that one and nearly choked to death laughing.

Zeldar:
I’m not sure that “truly great” really applies, but for 9 pages, 443 replies and 44,365 views tried to figure out what the hell 14 k of g in a f p d was before the thread got locked!
Did anybody ever get a reliable answer to this goddamn thing?
Do you know of other such annoyances that captured the SDMB’s imagination for that many pages (or more) over something that trivial and funky?
UPDATE!

To lay this puzzle to rest, it’s 14 karats of gold in a Florentine pietra dura (an art piece made of highly polished and inlaid colored stones).

Bump in response to recent comments elsewhere about other such threads.
Nothing Is Wrong Witha Low Income Guy Getting An Escort was always one of my favorites. I still periodically think of wives and girlfriends as “free girls.”
This thread reminded me of why I joined this forum. It was the blimp thread.

Someday I will read all the rest of them listed here.
Has the horror in the basement (opossum) thread been cited?

Rather than read back through the whole thread I did a Yahoo! search to find Something’s crapping in the basement window started by velvetjones
on 05-30-2012, 06:40 AM and running (so far) to 59 posts.
That the one?
No. But curses to you for linking to it.
That thread was the whore’s tits.

I was always fond of the blue jelly double headed dildo one . It helps that I both sew corsets and am in the SCA:p
This is the one I first thought of. Pure genius.
Agreed. The repackaging of Mark Twain’s intro by “Huckleberry Finn” with few exceptions to the generalization that everyone tells some “stretchers” is worth a read alone.
