What are the ten all-time greatest threads on the SDMB? I nominate two: Favorite pimple stories (TMI) and Most embarrasing thing you’ve ever witnessed…sorry, don’t know how to hyperlink threads. ---

I don’t know about the top 10, but I’d think any such list would have to include the now infamously famous [LOTR Written by Others](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=138905) thread… that one about has to have close to the highest views and highest replies in SDMB history, right? (As an aside, to hyperlink to threads all you have to do is click the “http://” button on the reply screen, type in a “name” for the link, and then paste in the url of the thread.) ---
