Could we get a list of SDMB cliches? That would be so cool.

WTF does WTF mean?

We’re planning to go see a new group tonight. Guess what their name is…

As time goes on it will be necessary for this chart to be updated just to demonstrate how this is indeed the Best Thread Ever. Only when there are over 100 people contributing over 300 responses, with thousands of views, will it really become the Contender.

No Cecil Adams? The Best Thread Ever would have a post by Unca Cecil.

And it would refute the premise of the thread with some sarcastic comments about how anybody who could ask such a question ought to be fed to a hyena.

(Next time somebody posts a count update, just fake in a Cecil Adams line. Easy enough to do. In fact, get the post count from some huge ass thread that already has hundreds of contributors. Nobody will actually check the contents. It’s like the credits for a Pauly Shore or Adam Sandler movie.)

It will be the best thread ever if **Happy Scrappy Hero Ex-Girlfriend** joins the Dope and posts here.

And if the next post is by her mother, asking how to delete it.

wouldn’t the thread have to be infinitly rigid and just pretend to ignore a few inconvenient laws of physics to be the best thread ever?

I dunno…for it to be the Best Thread Ever, it should have some potential for creating an in-joke.
