The first 1990 years there wasn't a lot of traffic here, so it's not like things got buried.

Harvey was around then so I am sure the forums were up.

 

[Corporate Thug]

[HumblePie]

LOL to 15. The only ones being dicks in that thread were you, SunnyD, and others. Who hurled the first insult at another forum member in that thread? Oh that's right, it was you rudeguy. And continued with the trolling by none other than you.

Yes, I agree that this list can't be complete without at least one of your threads.

I also think this one should be mentioned because of the sheer persistence of the OP.

Yes, at the very beginning -- but it labored on and on through most of 2012!

I expect regular updates in 2013 too :biggrin:

 

[SandEagle]

instead of manually tallying the results, why couldnt you just add a poll? why?

poll allows only ten choices...

 

[Meghan54]

I'd go with #9 first, but that's probably because of my medical background.

I must say, after perusing the threads above, mostly to remind myself of what transpired in each, I must say each deserves its nomination and each is delivers completely in its own way.

#'s 1, 5 and 9 were extra crispy, too.

 

[SandEagle]

i just realized that this is a huge callout thread....

mods you know what you have to do.
