Well, nobody but **Diane** seemed to enjoy it, but I had fun breaking character and writing [this response](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=235829#post235829) to **Markxxx** ’s thread, [No Straight Man in the World Would Ever say That](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=13722). That thread approached meltdown independently of my meager contribution. Hmm…, probably not what one might describe as a “finest moment.” ---

Hmmm. In terms of being informative, breastfeeding/formula threads have let me shine the best. But perhaps my own favorite was my Burger King Onion Ring thread. Heh. ---

**Cranky** , that onion ring thread was for DAMN sure my favorite thread of yours. I read it at my mother’s house and we were in tears from giggling. As for the OP, how can I possibly choose between 1200+ moments of equal mediocrity and inconsequence? ---

Right now, I’m feeling pretty good about [In a Universe Populated Only by Dopers…Who’d Become Your SO?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=154580) Not only was I the FIRST Doper selected, I was named by three different Dopers. This, by the way, is the exact polar opposite of how women react to me in the RW, and yet another among the many reasons I love this place. ---

I’ve always been very proud of [this rant](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=126966) I posted about an unfortunate Ultimate Frisbee experience of mine. But I’d have to say my finest moment was receiving [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=108286) compliment from the esteemed **Shirley Ujest** in the “flame yourself” thread last year. ---

Oh, and **Kal** : that GD comment was one of the funniest things I’ve ever read on the SDMB. I hope you don’t mind that I cribbed the basic idea and used it in an e-mail to a friend. ---

Wow, this really brought back the memories. I think I was most compassionate [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=1416598#post1416598). But I was pretty helpful [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=1196365#post1196365). And just to be scarey, my first [thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=59595). A poll on my second day as a Doper. You can already see the genius shining through. Just a little polish and I’m the gem you all know and love today. (Yes, you DO know and love me.) -Rue. ---

\*\*Treviathan \*\* That post of yours continues to crack me up. You are obviously wasting your brainpower on the real world endeavors. You need to spend more time here and produce funny stuff. You inebriated glob of mayonaisse. \*\*Kal \*\* that parody of Lib’s was funny. Can \*\*Washte \*\* do my math problems too? 😃 Ok, enough of the Mutual Admiration Society. I rarely venture out of the warm and fuzzy worlds of MPSIMS and IMHO, as you dopers in GQ and Great Debates are jest two durn smert fer the likes of me. But, who can resist a thread title[Could God Himself Make a Burrito So Big even he couldn’t eat it?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=128040&perpage=50&pagenumber=2) I just cracked myself up with it…and naturally, I killed the thread. ---
