Vix and I were talking a bit last night, and she convinced me to take a foray back into MPSIMS, from which I have been absent for a while. So, y’all can blame her if this thread crashes and burns.
A few days back in the Pit, there was a thread that required me to link back to a post of mine from two years ago. On rereading it, I got the same chuckles I had when I wrote it, so in a massive episode of rampant egotism, I’m reposting it here.
That’s right, folks, my finest moment on the Boards is a dick joke. My mother is very proud.
Now, as cover for my narcissism, I ask that the rest of you post a link to your personal highlight reel, your best moment on the Boards, be it humorous, poignant, or devastating.
Part of the reason I periodically drop out of sight is because I know I’ll never be able to top this one. I mean, you just don’t get good troll material like JDT anymore.
So yeah, my finest moment on the Board is a dick joke too
I have to say the outpouring of love and support when my daughter passed away. Perhaps the fine moment wasn’t exactly mine, but I never felf better reading anything else on the SDMB.
This is a bit narcistic (is that the word? It is now!), but what the heck.
I’ve posted a lot on these boards, as you can see, and I’m not stopping just yet. But it’s absolutely certain that I’ll never write as good an OP as in this thread: May 5, 1945 - We shall remember.
It’s a great thread. But to a large extent, that’s because of the many fantastic responses in that thread. So many stories of almost forgotten heroes - incredible. I merely started the thread, admittedly with a damn good OP, but the still continuing addition of touching stories to the thread is what makes it stand out above just about any other thread on these boards, IMHO.
I don’t think anyone noticed, but in this thread (here), I managed to coherently explain some stuff. I actually looked back at it the other night (I wanted to retract my cursory defense of PWs due to a BAD experience that night), and realized I’d done a damned good job, at least in my own eyes. Which, really, is all that matters.
The reply to Libertarian’s post here - I’ll show him parody, dammit!
I’m astounded that I got away with my post in this GD thread
And this thread shows what happens when I’m on new pain meds. It had it all: Speak and Spell, Pancakes, Bacon and Sweet, sweet, lovin’. Occasionally, some people would even try and keep the thread on topic.
The joke I made on page 2 of this thread was, IMHO, absolutely brilliant on so many levels. Some people got it, but I don’t think anyone truly appreciated the sheer genius it displayed.
A couple months ago I started a thread in MPSIMS titled “Murphy’s Laws for the SDMB” (too lazy too look up the link for it now). It made it into “Threadspotting.”
For whatever reasons he had in his little fluffy head, matt_mcl found my post to the Stereotype yourself thread so overwhelmingly alluring that he emailed me to say hello. Five months later, I’m off to see him in a few weeks (EEEE!), and have long-term plans involving emigration and a proper down-on-one-knee-in-a-restaurant proposal.
