I want the funniest post/thread you can remember, the dumbest post/thread you can remember and the most usefull post/thread you’ve ever read on this great board.
I put this in the pit becuase of the dumbest part. I know I’m gonna get a few nominations here from some wise ass or two, so have at it.
I’m really hoping for some good input from the long-time dopers. I’ve only been here since August and I’d like to catch up on some classic Dope.

Not sure if this should be nominated for “funniest” or “most brutal,” but I present Cervaise’s highly popular and much-lauded Telemarketer thread. Read, enjoy, and be thankful he uses his powers for good.
I’d say Cervaise’s post was “most brutal”.
And for most psychotic, it has to be Phaedrus’s goodbye post. I can’t find it (I suspect it didn’t survive the transition to the new software), but it was amazing.
Not only did Phaedry rant, weep, insult, laugh and cry, he posted about 20 paragraphs of gibberish that he claimed were some Native American language. A tiny fragment of it survives here in a response by Alphagene:
Ho, yukan watahanl anpo hanl, eya wana wi hinapin kte ki welehanl, koskalaka wan he takolaku ki ti egna glicu eyas hosti isnala keyapi.
(by the way, If anyone has a link to it, or has a copy of it they’ve kept, I’d love to read it again.)
And one of the most moving pieces I’ve ever read is Scylla’s piece about his hands was wonderful.

This DEFINITELY goes in IMHO.

I’d agree that Scylla’s story about his hands is very good, but I’ve always been partial to his “Angel of Death” post about his wife. I rather hope she read it. If anybody ever felt that way about me, I’d like to know it.
One thread that lives kindly in my memory is Bathroom etiquette memo re: Paper seat protectors which contains the phrase “ass gasket” which is guaranteed to get a smile out of me no matter how bad my mood, as well as links to some of the funnier flames about everyone’s office problem-children.
It just warms my heart to think about it … my favorite thread ever (I think) is A Tale of Two Evils: Hitler and English Cuisine.
That wasn’t the actual title, more of my pet name for it.
I haven’t been here much longer than you, (and I don’t post nearly as much), but as to the funniest:
Whenever I’m feeling low, nothing beats reading the train-wreck-hilarious seethruart attempt to get everyone to believe in Apollo Moon landing anomalies. High comedy.
If any of the more long-term Dopers can point me towards more like that, it would make my weekend.
Well, the post Wally tries CyberSex is the stuff of legends. We’re talking paroxysms of laughter here, folks.
This seem’s to be a Scylla appreciation thread, but the one about the time he got stuck under a plow blade had me rolling. Here’s the link
Enjoy
