Favourite thread
OK, so it's a bit self referential, but now we've busted through 10,000 posts to this forum (and over 16,000 in total) I'm curious - what are your favourite threads so far and are there any worthy of bringing back now we've got so many new users? (NB: Question particularly for the old-timers who can remember those early days threads)
Cheers

Being quite new to the site I can only favour the threads I have seen in the last two months....these being...
1) Music....Andrew Pack
2) How things change...Liana
3) Mr.men/Women..Lisa Morgan
4) Pre-emptive cherry strike game...Liana and Fish
5) What still makes you blush...Mark-yelland-brown
6) Full moon madness....Fish
7) Coke-can-thing by Karl
I liked the movie sequel thing (I had lots of fun coming up with those). That was by John L
I liked Fish's pre-emptive cherrystrike game too, except I managed to get her pretty P.O.ed at me. (I'm still very sorry).
I liked e-myths too, by eddie gibbons. (fully entertained by the stories.)
I don't remember anything that started over a month ago. That was like two calculus tests ago! I've forgotten what city I come from all ready!
Most of all, however, I like the thread about threads by Emily Dubberly!
Okay, okay, I liked Sneak's cheese thing too.

Oh self revering one, I bow and lay my pen before your cherry palace,
The only threads I do besmear are those that drip from your golden challace.

Ta Chucks has got to be THE classic thread. Congratulations to Hilda and her Whippet. Ivory's Elf and Unicorn was right up there too. I also thought the Llama stuff was great. Favourite prop: Liana's Pedestal. Threadmeister General - Stormy Petrel.
Ta Chuck's gets the thread cherry for me too ...
... tho i did enjoy the "erotica" thread ages ago too .. can't remember who started it ... andrew's "things i love and hate" and the hornby/parsons argument ...
missi's recent ABCDID was a good one too ... *grudgingly admits*
Ta Chucks - Hilda (blushes)
Missi - ABCDID
Misheard Lyrics - dunno
Preemptive cherries - Fish
Blokes and Tapes - Fish
Music - Andrew
Loads of good ones that I cant recall....am late for work....
Karls coke can was the nuts. Having met him it is all so plausable.
Hornby-Parsons?
Nick Hornby is a fantastic writer because......
'Fish drops her chips'
Ralph
'Misheard Lyrics' - because that was where I first bumped into you lot.
Also, it provided me with some answer I used to astound my kids.
I liked the Hornby v. parsons things too.
And the 'What exactly is Love' because it got so damn serious and uptight when all I did was ask a simple and innocent (no, honestly) question.
Sadly, it would seem that Bobby McGee ran out of lives recently.
That will teach him to promote his mistress' work.
goes along with Ta Chuck's & ABCDID. I think the erotica one was started by jake kane but am not sure. LLama's homely countryside poetry should be in there (discuss writing from abc forum). there are some other early ones on gen discussion but I cant go back more than 2 pages and I cannot remember what they were called either. None of these compare to the wit shown in the mr. men thread of course. Gosh, how I laughed.
This one's pretty good.
What about Spags R' Us?
If you remember, I got shot with battenbergs by IFB's doorman. Thankfully I have recovered now. But everytime I see one of those cake things I have to see my therapist.
Thanks Fish.
Oh, Yes!!!
Everyone loved Spags R' Us. Everyone called Spag, that is.
The floods of demands for Spags R' Us to re-open are endless. Oops they all have my name as the signature.
I have been foiled by myself again .
stormy! ... Bobby McGee the Porn King Cat is dead????
*gasps*
how did you come by this news?????
I long for the Web Soap again. It had a flurry for a few weeks and got 73 posts and now I miss the Macaw, Lee Culkin, the evil Tracey, her poker-waving landlord father and Bobby Zamora of Brighton and Hove Albion
I have to confess 'Bush Poetry' cracked me up, anything Oz does!
Why grudgingly Fish? Do you have a problem with me?
Web Soap, as with Stephen - this was great fun to do, it got me through a period in my dull job where I wanted to dive out of the window and it also got me talking to some top people on the site, notably the Queen of Ivoryness.
Am I a whining bitch ? Where things began to get a little heated and we learnt that it is no fun to sit and read what others might think of you - he's a brave guy, you have to give him that.
Blokes and tapes
Ta Chucks - the menus, the squabbles, the Guy Ritchie movie about dominoes... *sniff* the inadvertent consumption of my once close friend, mistaking him for Southern Fried Chicken.
Recently - I am interested in poems about small birds - mad as a (small) goose, but interesting.
it seems like a lifetime ago I know, but you may recall Carly saying "serious discussions available here". meaning her own 'forum' - if we cared to join her. This was after her attempt to moderate us and mould us into the shape she desired failed and just before she won $5 for having a story published (bow, curtsey, worship).
I went for a look and so enjoyed reading the critique posts of work in progress I bookmarked the page.
Your mention of porn cat minded me to go back and, flicking through the magazine section (lots of geese), I came across the dead pussy article.
In fact, now I think of it, it was in her thread about Eric's 'elephant' that I first met Eddie and Robert. This was shortly after I had hi-jacked the thread and refused to hand it back without certain demands being met.
so, thanks Carly, that's one thing I do appreciate you for.
Do I get the impression that Carly was actually MORE unpopular in days of yore than yours truly?
Surely this can't be! I still feel the chill winds of animosity emanating from the midlands!
hymn. shitty innit that some poor thread-barers get no clicking replies. My favourites are the ones that just get lost and remain 0 to infinity or somewhere in the techie broom-cupboard with the small poems about birds. Remember "aforbing -cruelly overlooked"? That was a classic..not.
cheeky little sparrow
here comes an arrow
tweet..
What is that all about?
bloody hell that was it!
the web soap. absolutely brilliant. shame bobby has been transferred and the macaw is dead innit?
muzzy gets the credit for starting that one ...
I'll take that as a yes then!
whatever HAPPENED to my doorman? ... what WAS his name ... fine chap as i remember ...

taj hayer

oh! and liana's Accoutrements for Lady Authoresses was a STONKER ... i LOVED that one ...
taj!! v funny man.
we should start a thread demanding to know where the missing ones are.
but then... would anyone answer?
at least I can stop thinking
*did you ever start asks fish*
who else is missing?
i demand to know ...
prof of desire ... apart from brief cameo on threads last week.
curua
carly queen of the web critique service
mandyLB .... I know she is in italy but she hasn't been in a thread for don que's?
and there must be more. It's too late for total recall.
*warning... inbound arnold joke*
the classic thread has to be 'simon66' created by liana in 2001. it had everything.
eye thank ewe.
Liana's "It's been done before" thread.
Brilliant.
a chill wind - light but firm - may form in the midlands before becoming unsettled in Annimoss city (shitty innit).
hurricane Carly has been downgraded to a hormonal cyclone, so fear not.
reina, dear Ena, will be coming soon.
the temperature will fall due to minos66.
clouds over Mississippi will lighten, smut depending.
autumn wit will often be mist.
we will keep you updated if any extra-Audenary conditions prevail.
forum outlook? - unsettled.
there will be snow forecast ever again.
*A howling, wet gust of wind shakes everything in the room for a moment as the door is opened then closed. A ragged man (dashingly handsome despite looking as though he's been swallowed by a hurricane several times) staggers in.*
Hello?
*Collapses*.
*gasps*
prof was ever a cameo ...
MLB ... hmnnn not sure ...
Carly i hear that her Porn King Cat has made it Big ...
curua ... well ... i did see him post something a week or so ago .. not on the forums tho ... perhaps he is masquerading?
