No. this isn’t. I think the best thread ever was **Scilla’s** blimp thread. That was Scilla, wasn’t it? That or the LOTR written by others thread. This thread is only good in that I have posted in it. 🙂 ---

That was **Scylla**. And you’re forgetting the Nazi Groundhogs thread, Goat Porn and many others. ---

Oh no. That’s one that can only be found through personal labor. That, and I can’t bring myself to type “goat porn” in the search bar. This thread isn’t the best, but you never know. We could paste in a dancing Jesus, knock out this wall… Oh, and you’ll need a montage of this thread working out to beef itself up for its upcoming bout against the current champs. ::Cue “Eye of the Tiger”:: Whatever happened to that proposed LOTR thread book deal? ---

It can’t possibly qualify without a reference to… look someone’s got to do it… 1920’s style “Death Rays” to use on the goats maybe? ---

Sorry, **John Carter of Mars** ’s Pit thread about the mail-order bride & sour honey was the best thread ever. Well, it took that little detour into women’s rights, but it came back strong afterward. That was such an awesomely weird story, and it _kept on going_ while we read along! ---

no, now it is the best thread ever; nothing is ever good unless I’ve participated. ---

I have to go with [Are scalar weapons real?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=202225) as the best thread ever, with the Nazi Groundhog and the blimp thread as close runners up. ---

I’m going to have to disagree, **DreadCthulhu**. Those three had maybe some of the best _OPs_ ever; no denying that. But the [Mail order bride & sour honey](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=212249) I think tops them as the best _thread_ ever. That one continued on, with real-time updates, and the story got weirder and weirder and weirder as it kept chugging along. I’m hoping for another update soon… ---

While the _Mail order bride & sour honey_ is definatly one of the best threads ever - easily in the top five, it can’t top the scalar weapons thread. It spawned the whole 1920’s style “Death Rays” gag, making it the winner by default. ---

Would it help if I sang a song, like, about a dog, maybe? Or I got some carrot sticks and dip up in herre? It would probably be way better if I didn’t spell it “herre” again… ---

Ah, they’re 1920’s style “Death Rays”.
