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?

One of my all time favorites:

Found my brother-in-law’s diary in my wife’s underwear drawer

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?

No one?

Oh my god. I just read that one and nearly choked to death laughing.

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

A brief but stellar performance:
Ask the intravert who’s taking an improv comedy course

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. :slight_smile:
