2. Greatest. Thread. Ever.

Followed by the Passion of the Christ thread.

Sigh.

[Beetwasher]

Was right up there. Those were the days.

10. OMG this is hilarious

I'm bookmarking for a slow read. This was before my time here; do you have a link for the Passion thread? I have an idea that will make me LMAO.

I would advise against eating or drinking anything while reading.





You might also enjoy the "Stridently held opinion based on questionable pseudo-science but I'm right" thread from May 2007.

Hope you're not on dial-up!

16. You were right...

... I was taking a bite of my subway sandwich when I clicked on the first link, lettuce all over my laptop now. And, I think I scared the sh*t out of the little college kids in the break room with my crazy laughter...

:spray: :rofl:

Thanks for the links.

3. those were the days

[trof]

19. Indeed they were. I came, I saw, I ROFLMAO.

4. That's my all time favorite thread.

[redqueen]

5. I was hoping you were talking about that creature

and not the award.

I was worried, though.

7. Mixed Animal will be published in the Fall

Oscar is called Buzz in the book, how cool is that?

8. Heh! I'll buy the book.

Truly a thread you never get tired of reading through again. And no, I don't even try to fake being a member then, but heard of it later. Yes, I know it, and I love it.

[JonLP24]

9. Thanks for the thread!

I never seen this before.

I didn't start laughing until further down, I guess because it wasn't 'live' or watching it develop but it has genius comedy.

I'm currently at this post.

202. What does a barkolator do?

205. A barkolater translates dog into English.

Since he's not exclusively dog, I also got a
koalalater, a monkeyolater, a wolverinolater,
a pocrupinolater, a anteaterolater and a couple
other ones that I got cheap because the labels
had fell off and they didn't know what kind of
olater they were. Then I got home and hooked the
wires from all the olaters to one speaker, only
I didn't have a regular speaker so I had to use
a loudspeaker. Only the loudspeaker was too loud
for inside the house, so I had to put it outside
so it would sound OK inside. Only that means that
everything that gets translated from Oscarlish
gets blasted through the village over the loudspeaker.
As a test I had him stand in the middle of the ten
various olaters and asked him who would win tonight
in Iowa. He growled, he gurgled, he chittered, he
guffarphed, he hacked up hairballs, he howlered, and
it came out of the loudspeaker: "I can't think I need
to clean my balls first!" So much for technology.

:rofl: :thumbsup:

12. "he howlered"

:rofl:

11. so damn funny

Makes me wonder about that Uncle though.

[Rhiannon12866]

13. What a trip down memory lane... I loved Oscar!

Thanks so much for the memories! :hi:

[murielm99]

15. I knew I'd come to the right website when I read about Oscar.

[Bucky]

17. That reminds me of this schematic drawing of the Madisonian form of government

[A-Schwarzenegger]

22. That is exactly precisely what the mixed animal was based on.

The secret is out.

[rubberducky]

18. One of The Best Threads ever!!! Thanks for posting a smile thread,

it`s been a long, hard week for liberals. :hi:

[NashVegas]

20. In Retrospect

How would anyone have liked to be the mod that locked the most immortal thread in DU history?

[A-Schwarzenegger]

21. In the Mod's defense ...

it was the OP of that thread who asked for it to get shut, because he was having what he thought was a nervous breakdown from the strain on his fragile imagination.

[velvet]

23. thanks for clearing that up

Locking the thread for dial-up just didn't make sense to me, it was mostly text. But your reason does. My imagination would have frayed by post 10.

And now we have to buy the book to find out how the story ends. Clever, verrrrrrry clever. ;)

[A-Schwarzenegger]

24. It ends in a way that you might suspect

could be a new beginning. I hope it at least does
well enough that people would want to see more of
those folks & that animal. I've never been happier
or freer as a writer than when writing about them.
