You simply have to laugh when a thread is so big,

[Bouncy Ball]

you know where you are by the "landmarks."

"Ok, hmm, oh yeah here's where Rabrrrrr was talking about giant penises, and here's where ronnyk first showed up, yeah, yeah, here's EarlG's post, easy to spot because of that little blue man."

(scrolling)

"Oh here's where I was called a bimbo, yeah, now I'm at the part where ten million people had to be PMed to get up to speed, here's where there's a weird discussion about Star Trek, discussion about meatloaf, people got out of control here talking about something having to do with someone named 'Missy', smoking pot, mental illness discussion, suck my....ah YES! Here's where I left off!"

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Bouncy Ball]

3. ...

:loveya:

It is seriously cracking me up, I'm not kidding. It's a monster of a thread, but imagine coming upon that thing all at once right now, not having known a thing about it.

We must have covered 894 completely unrelated topics in that thread. Puts those free association threads to shame, it does.

:rofl:

[auntAgonist]

16. gotta tell you ...

[Bok_Tukalo]

Good morning.

2. I just spent several minutes looking for that concise post explaining it

God, you should be able to like, flag a post or something. :P

[Bouncy Ball]

5. No shit, I got lost in it earlier.

Had to back out just to find out what thread I was IN.

And it's sad when you realize you've been in ONE thread for thirty minutes!

:rofl:

4. You forgot the catfight over Rabrrrrrr.

;)

[Bouncy Ball]

6. Ah yes, the catfight I won.

:evilgrin:

[Rabrrrrrr]

8. Did you win?

[Bouncy Ball]

12. Yes, don't you remember?

I called heads.

:evilgrin:

[Left Is Write]

14. You won? Guess again, my love.

He did call me an ethereal succubus, although I haven't yet determined whether or not he considers that a good thing.

But, you know. I could kick your ass.

[BikeWriter]

9. You were called a bimbo? That sucks! ;-(

[Bouncy Ball]

10. Considering the source, it's a point of honor.

[JohnKleeb]

15. which was who?

[BikeWriter]

18. Okay, Lil' Sister. I hope you got paybacks.

[democracyindanger]

11. meatloaf...fat actress...does anybody read these...

I was going to post, but realized it was pointless. My honest contribution would've been, "Meh."

It's shitty what happened to sniffa, and that I'm-really-a-Libertarian ended up getting exactly what she wanted--attention--but shit happens.

When all the copycat threads started up, I knew things had returned to normal.

[Bouncy Ball]

13. Me too and they did make me laugh!

[Rabrrrrrr]

17. It's almost as big as my dork!

26. Here's a present from me to you.

[salin]

28. ROFL

here is flame war #1... flame war #2.... and what was that star trek thing in the first place?

[salin]

29. Sad commentary, though...

I don't remember threads growing this long since some of the early congressional watch threads during the IWR vote.

Methinks the loss of the ATA forum is showing up here.... a thread there - which allowed others to respond (as they once did) might have allowed the venting... so that it doesnt come off as this being one of the most important things that ever happened at DU :shrug:
