Golden Moments in ATOT history - 1st installment

[rockyct]

After viewing a thread urging ATOT to vote, I remembered this "Golden Moment" in ATOT history:

http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview...hreadid=1225626&enterthread=y&arctab=y

The thread is basically about an online voting contest to pick the cutest dog. The battle started neck in neck, but soon the enemy (the dog Joe) began to overcome Lucy and her owner (an ATOT member) after getting some media publicity. That's where the ATOT effect kicked in. The rest is pure gold as links to a popular fishing forum are discovered and new developments come out faster than you can hit F5. Enjoy.


PM me for other ideas for "golden moments" of ATOT, but please, no spider or PAB threads.

Hahaha... I must've missed that thread. Funny stuff.

What about Preyhunter's quality YAGTs? Or the one about the girl getting tag teamed in a row boat by Mexicans?

 

[MmmSkyscraper]

LOL, I like how that thread just died...

 

[clamum]

N/m I misread

 

[Homerboy]

the only issue with that thread is we never found out if Lucy won!

She did win, but I wish there were some more follow up posts.

Apparently, though, that was on winning the chance to win something bigger. I think that was the question of Homerboy - if Lucy won the grand prize

 

[vi edit]

There was a certain incident that was so (in)famous that it even made The Register/Inquirer.

Oh yeah. The one where our resident "Probably Has Bodies In The Crawlspace" guy pretended to have a girlfriend?

As in, one dog's neck. In the other dog's neck. Or something.

If you go to the crackerjack link in the threads OP, it shows lucy winning cutest pet and in the top right corner the other dog that won the top prize. I think it was the sports dog that was balancing a treat on his nose.




BUTTER?

Wow that thread is funny. I just kept laughing at the fishing guys trying to beat a bunch of computer guys in a internet vote.
