Best thread ever?

That's right - I'm so lame I don't even read MP for the climbing - I read it for the entertainment. (Either that or I'm a genius postmodernist who's having a big meta-joke on all of you right now.) But I want to know what your favorite threads are. Do you get turned on by the Booty Clapper? ( mountainproject.com/v/bad-k…) Does your pulse quicken when you read about the exploits of Jim Ebert? ( mountainproject.com/v/prett…) Which threads kept your gear gathering dust in the corner as you frantically clicked "refresh", hoping that some new nugget of awesomeness had been posted?

this one

False - the OP in this one is a massive tool.

The Take it to the Limit' DVD chase and pass off thread.

Don't feed the troll

Feed this Puppy

I love any thread that oozes history. Like the Eiger biner thread or the Scariest runout thread that explained the first ascent of Needle's Eye in the Needles.

I loved the thread that was titled,"LOOKING for a real outdoorsman to host a docu reality show , Denver / Boulder, seriously!!!$$"
Some very good hot shots on this one of "Mountain men" HAHAHAH

I have actually purchased Take it to the Limit since then.

This is great!!! Hahahahaha!!

I agree!

I liked the one that had me explaining in great detail where to find Twinkies! Till it was pointed out that I really didn't have a clue about what the thread was all about.

Jim Ebert!!..that one went on for awhile with some great challenges and statements.
