Which thread have you started that makes you most happy? Your gift to ILE, if you will.

This thread was rather exciting, even though it kinda flopped in the end, plus I never updated it to tell what ultimately happened with the whole affair.

Approaching someone in a tricky situation.

The only thread I started that I'm not embarrassed about is the one I contributed to the mongrels/sheepfuxors thread series. That one actually went really well, I think. But everything else? Shit, either I'm insecure or violently passionate or bringing up some idiotic B.S. nobody gives a damn about or whatever. I shouldn't have even started that "Hug Your Father Tonight" thread. *shakes head* No no no no no. I have a penchant for embarrassing my own damn self every chance I get.

Hey kids! Let's cheer Bryan on as he attempts to grow his very own ironic moustache! Too bad most of the pics are gone. That was a fun thread at a bad time.

Go ahead and be disgusting here (do not read if you hate poop and pee humour), because Chris V and t\'\'t liked it. Never quite got Dave B's first post there, but I took it as a threat at the time. Probably wasn't.

It was a Rock Bottom (as seen on the missionary position thread) to indicate that we were skirting close to, well, rock bottom.

Ah. Yeah. I guess I knew it almost as soon as I created it. I kinda meant for it to be its own closed little thread so that that stuff wouldn't spread to other threads, but I guess its presence was bad enough.

I was looking at through the threads I started and I found this gem Why do old people have such sexy assholes? which must have been started to mimic "Why are old people such assholes?". It made me laugh a lot.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 15 April 2005 23:08 (twenty years ago)

Actually it was obv a combination of "Why are old people such assholes?" and "Why are old people so sexy?" Good times.

Yeah, that reminds me...

Reminds you of what, hon?

(I think I was originally getting at something completely different than what I ended up getting at in the thread, BTW. I think I was essentially complaining about not being able to count on anything to be known as. You know, not having any sort of specialty subject. Well, there's [that band I shall not mention], but that's really super-lame and won't lead me anywhere. Oh well. Beating a dead horse. Beat beat beat beat.)
