Favorite DU threads?

[Dr. Strange]

Someone mentioned the history of Olive Garden in the Lounge threads, although no one has found the "original" thread that started the whole thing.
So, how's about posting your favorite thread here? (Not the whole thread, just a link, ya smartass!)

I'm fond of this one--short but sweet:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=2507034

And this classic by racaulk that somehow never got locked:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=6655257

No flames, please.

[TZ]

11. "60 is my limit-I'll donate that to DU in the name of the mod that locks the 'Please Remove' thread

The original please remove thread was pretty interesting but this perverse reaction to the first thread was pretty funny and entertaining too and, well to be frank quite an interesting psychological profile of one obsessed DU poster.....
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=6325156&mesg_id=6325156
This thread was also my first foray into the Lounge really...:)

[Burma Jones]

14. The Whole Fat Actress, Roomier in Here and offended Royalty series of threads

Tombstones and an enforced vacation for a Lounge Favorite came outta that melee.

[Crazy Dave]

15. I'm leaving DU

Love to hate 'em

[Bryn]

16. I agree!

I can never understand why some posters need to post "I am leaving DU...." because I can leave and come back anytime I want and I don't need anyone's permission to leave, right? I come and go as I please. :P

[La Lioness Priyanka]

17. not always but sometimes its done to call people out.

for instance i say something real nasty, people call me out.

i say this place is full of bullies, so i must leave.

all of a sudden it shift the onus of the nastiness from me to them.

[Crazy Dave]

22. Most of them are back the next day or even the same

And in case no one has said so...

Welcome to DU Bryn :hi:

[bif]

32. This was truly one of the best

Especially, when you consider, if there is a God, we're all going to spend time in hell for all our comments.

[Richard Steele]

52. Thanks to that thread, I'll never be able to watch that film.

At least not with people around. Seriously, I would NOT
be able to resist the temptation to shout out some of
those lines!

They'd put me away!

[regnaD kciN]

55. I hadn't seen that thread before...

:rofl:

[graywarrior]

26. Coldiggs's thread about Cindy

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=364&topic_id=300259

The mods let us toy with a disruptor for a couple hours before finally locking the thread. At least ten misspellings in five lines of OP, including: shread peice realy spocksmen jester (gesture) sempithy cazy

[philosophie_en_rose]

31. That was the BEST thread ever.

Forget the subject matter, that thread was the height of humor.

Such a noble jester from the spocksperson for cazy, stickily lies.

:rofl:

[Richard Steele]

27. "Got the hell kicked out of me doing community service" was an instant classic!

JeffR awarded a Group DUzy to everyone who posted in the thread:

[Patsy Stone]

35. The DUDQ threads of yore

including this one: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=203&topic_id=265486

But I think this one, just for the Doobydoo: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=364&topic_id=349888

[mainegreen]

38. Wow. The rant in the second one is hilarious!

I agree with it too!

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

39. Janet Doobydoo is an asshat!

:rofl:

[hvn_nbr_2]

43. Janet Doobydoo for president!

I still occasionally put that in a response to one of those mystery threads.

Edit to add: Oh, and by the way, that OP was the only thread I ever started that got to #1 on the greatest page.

[Patsy Stone]

50. This thread was so, so good.

The OP was fabulous, and deserving of the number one spot, and I will always be in your debt because sometimes I respond to threads: "Janet Doobydoo speaks for me!"

:thumbsup:

[YDogg]

36. Anything about the University of Michigan

[Skittles]

37. LOL Skinner cracks me up

I used to read the whiners on "Ask the Admin" and some of his answers were pure camp classic! :thumbsup:

[Scooter24]

40. the "My Name Is..." thread from the day after the 2004 elections.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=2587059

1000 DU members coming together to show their pride :)

[Arugula Latte]

42. On a happier note, this is my favorite thread from the 2006 election

Yes, I started it :)

It's one of my all-time most memorable DU experiences. Sometimes I just get weepy when I think about this thread because of the international kinship it implies. :cry:
