Has everybody seen the **Threadspotting** addition to the [Straight Dope main page](http://www.straightdope.com/)?
Looks like Wally’s thread is the first to be highlighted in this Hall of Fame. Congrats!
🙂

Holy mother of God. How did I miss that thread originally? Wally, I bow down to your greatness.
Though I did once convince some AOLer that I had hair covering 82% of my body, and that in Vermont it is a sign of beauty, because you know your woman will survive the winter. He was AMAZED.

Woo Hoo! Way to go, Wally.
And that thread _was_ hilarious! Great call on the SD admins for picking that one out of the bunch.
And now I’m even _more_ proud to be sportin’ my own, personal “Wally” sig!

I don’t have it yet, either…is it on the SD Home Page or the Message Board page?
Wally’s first, huh? I guess maybe they’re starting with the Canadians. They’ll probably do MY threads by certified mail…sometimes those take longer. I’m sure they’re taking no chances with mine.

I cleaned out my cache and then reloaded the page and there it was 🙂
Congrats, Wally, that was cute 🙂

Snopes is history. I just went to look around.
I assume that Threadspotting will be rotated on a regular basis. God knows there’s no shortage of material here.
Do I get a coffee mug or something?

While I’ve been reading Cecil’s columns, I haven’t been on the boards in a while. That thread convinced me to visit here on a regular basis.
Thanks, Wally!

Sigh. Just one more reason for me to worship Wally!
Oh yeah–what did they give you for anesthesia, anyway?

And therefore vicariously so did I! In fact, my post asked if we could “have the OP bronzed or otherwise immortalized”.
And other people got to be on the front page, too!
Standing on the shoulders of giants provides a great view.
