I remember reading a thread a while back that just had me laughing all the way through… all “optional subtitle. main text, pithy signature” self-referential kind of stuff. I found [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=26280&pagenumber=1) but I don’t think that’s the one I was looking at before. Was there another one like this? I specifically remember one post that went something like “Noun verb noun adjective exclamation, proper noun, three words in Latin.”

Hard to search for this sort of thing!

(I’m posting this on MPSIMS because it seems it was a MPSIMS kind of thread. Or maybe not.)

The thread was in GD and it was called [Witness](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=36067). I enjoyed it too.
