[Here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=299685). I guess I should have made it clearer. I really was trying to parodistically pit all those bullshit “Ask the \*\*\*\*\*” threads. I suppose I made it too cryptic, or at least too cryptic for the mods, who as always seem to prefer to err on the side of closing too hastily and too often rather than too infrequently. The little :rolleyes: wasn’t enough to tip the mod off as to the nature of the pitting (i.e. the proliferation of “Ask the moron” threads and using parody)? And, yes, I realize the “Ask the Gay Guy” threads were classics. ---

I think somebody did a “Ask the guy who knows nothing” thread. I don’t remember the exact thread title but it was pretty funny (if my memory serves). Ah well. Enough nostalgia for today. ---

I have to add that I couldn’t think of the word “nostalgia” but it was right there on the tip of my tongue. I was pretty much parylized with the overwhelming need to recall the word I was looking for. Then I found [This beauty](http://www.onelook.com/reverse-dictionary.shtml) ---
