What is, (or was), your favorite Data Lounge thread?

The gossip threads by Keram Malicki Sanchez!

I love the "Men Showing Affection" threads. I believe there about 3-4 of them now. I like to daydream every now and then and click through the images of men showing genuine affection. The threads are pretty clean of porn, (which I like), and just shows men with each other, their families, etc. I go back to these threads just to smile, sometimes cry a bit, and at other times to wonder why I can't have this type of relationship.

Any thread with the word "spaghetti" in title.

...in the title.

Anything about farting. Farting is funny.

Anything but the gay/not gay speculation threads.

My neighbor is a gargoyle.

Amy Adams and Amy Ryan are having a party

[quote]They first decided to invite Susan Saint James and Jill Saint John. Then they called John Heard, John Hurt and William Hurt and said they simply MUST come. Amy and Amy need ideas -- who else should be invited?

'Dialing with a pencil'

HaHa! That's FUN, R8!!! I never saw that one. Thanks!

We haven't done this in a whole 3 days.

Should I Have a Margarine Fountain at My Next Party So My Guest Can Coat Their Ears of Corn With This Synthetic-Butter-Like Substance?

I couldn't quit laughing - OP was so indignant.

Dialing the phone with a pencil - DL Classic. It was long and it had so many great posts in it.

My Neighbor is a Gargoyle had video! Loved it.

What stars are thinking right now - those threads usually have some great posts.

I couldn't find it if I tried, but I liked that thread about the gay man who had a sister that didn't invite his partner, I think, to her wedding and what should he do. What was funny about it was that the bride's name was used and DL found a bride's registry with that same name! Gosh! They caused havoc on that girl's registry. It was SOOO wrong, but that shit was SOOO funny!!!

This relatively recent Three's Company thread from the Fourth of July in 2014 was what sold me on DL.

So much deep knowledge revealed. And how could I ever have guessed that Larry had his own subset of gay fans hot for his ass in tight jeans?

I followed it live.

Some threads have truly great titles. One of my favorites is: "Borderline Retarderd Celebrities".

I need to read that thread! R14

whichever one had the poster saying the poster would play Ada in a remake of Another World, only if she could perform every scene with a dish rag over her shoulder, the technique perfected by the late Connie Ford

and the poster was signed 'D. Hall'

One of the "most embarrassing moments" threads, it was probably from about six years ago or so. Had me crying from laughing so hard. I'll never forget this poor guy recounting how he got drunk at a backyard cookout, started twirling to some Hootie and the Blowfish song, and knocked the grill right into the pool.

The restaurant "once around the garden" thread.

Claire and the fully-loaded baked potato. That one just cracked me up.

ANY Michfest thread

Some of the "Let's pretend we're______."

"Jill Learns About Periods"===CLASSIC!!

"The Lesbian TV Network"

"Who's Gay In ________" ( Sport, TV, Music,etc)

The Kenny Chesney thread where the fraus from his website forum posted was great.

I also enjoyed the Lord of the Rings threads (Prancing Pony) that eventually got put into the Freaks and Flames forum. The truly disturbed came out for that thread. Damn, I can't believe I've been reading this forum for so long. I even remember Blue Agave.

Soft Butch Sous Chef.

The Celebrity Caterer threads, before DL cuntery ran him off.

Murderous Fattie on the Lam, Posting on Craig's List So Look Out Bitches

The Boston - Philly thread where one half asked for advice on how to charge the other for being his boyfriend

What Was Your Epitome of Elegance as a Kid.

Dog Fucks Baby in the Ass

The War Between Australia and Bolivia

All threads about food.

I do like those picture threads that keeps me motivated to stay in the gym. Sometimes they can be a bit much, but overall they're okay. My favorite ones are the "Muscle Slut Shirt"

I did like the Aaron Schock thread until they got out of control! How many different threads--500? Sheesh!

I really appreciate that thread about the Philly gay bashing! I wouldn't be kept up to date about what's going on if it wasn't for that thread.

[quote]What Was Your Epitome of Elegance as a Kid.

The above seems interesting.

It's ANN!

SHITTY LITTLE ANN!

I had forgotten about the Australia v. Bolivia hostility.

R6, those are actually my favorite ones. I like to see deluded people think every guy in the world is gay.

Oh! How could I forget!!! "What my parents said when I told them I was gay", or something like that. That thread had me on a roller coaster ride!!! I was angry. I cried. But, most of all I was laughing to the point that I fell out of my chair!!! There were some classics in that one like the guy's mother who ran around the house screaming and crying; "I bet you're a bottom. I BET YOU'RE A BOTTOM!" LOL!!!!

Can someone post the link to r36's thread. I must read it.

NOW!!!

OMG R14 ! I remember that thread , it was hilarious .

Bread pudding/Claire.

Yes, I'm that old.

I just had sex with Jani Lane - absolutely the best. Unfortunately I can't find it so it may have been deleted.

And yes, the thread about the partner who wasn't invited to Jody's wedding. Sublime.

Found it, R37!!! I MEAN, this was a FUNNY thread!!! The official title: "What was the very first thing each of your parents said when you told them that you were gay?"

Like, c'mon... you can't beat material like this!

Dad: Oh, ok. Mom: I knew you were watching too much Oprah.

Both of mine were like "duh!!!!" They knew since I was a late teen. I told them in my early 40's

Dad: "Really? Me too!"

I liked Celebrity Caterer too, R25. Light years better than the psycho pretending to be Keram Malicki Sanchez, and the people who believed it really WAS Sanchez posting. I've never seen anything like it. We got trolldar in the middle of his reign of terror, I should have gone back to see if he was also posting as people who were praising him for such "great" gossip.

Bless you, R41. An absolute classic. The guy whose dad always had to say stuff like "Hey! Ice skating is on!" had me wheezing with laughter.

[quote]Jody's wedding.

THAT'S IT!!!! I think DL was about to be sued over that one. You sure can't find it anywhere. The linked thread is only about memories of it! That shit was FUNNY!!!! The OP was literally begging people to stop, and let everybody know that it was a joke! The response???

"Step aside, Helen! It's not ovah until we say it's ovah!!!"

The Dionne Warwick updates on Bobbi Kristina.

I LOVED the Dinner Party Disasters thread! Especially the post from the guy who is hosting his boss for dinner and his boyfriend breaks up with him right before the guests arrive and he gets stoned and drops dinner on the floor......had me laughing for an hour after I read it.

Dear Darfur Orphan

[quote]The Boston - Philly thread where one half asked for advice on how to charge the other for being his boyfriend

I remember that one, but wasn't the real twist of that one was they were lesbians? I don't know why, but I sort of remember that everyone thought they were a male couple until... Anyway, THAT was a good one!!!

The Boston-Philly couple, if I recall correctly, spawned several threads over several years, many of which included photos of the ginger's dick. Did they really turn out to be lesbians?

Okay R49, I haven't been here for years so, I might be thinking of something else. Wasn't this the thread called "Help me leave my partner", and the OP wanted help in getting a financial settlement, along with the encouragement to leave? I do remember that everyone thought them to be a male couple, but it turned out they were lesbian.

Thank you, R46 -- that's the thread with the Hootie and the Blowfish story I'd been looking for.

Time to break out the wine and read the whole thread.

I think we're thinking of the same couple/thread(s), r50. I missed the twist where they turned out to be lesbians.

R40, I think it's gone... I had it bookmarked on my phone but the Great Redesign of 2015 rendered the link useless. I have searched with Google in numerous permutations with no results.

My favorite thread too, hands down. Plus the drama of Jani expiring not long afterwards made the thread all the more potent

R45 Is the thread still available for "The Dionne Warwick updates on Bobbi Kristina.?"

Thanks.

The bloodbath over what is the Best Animal in the Zoo

There was an amazing one a couple of years ago. I wish I could find it but any search terms I can think yo use are too generic - so I'd be really grateful if anyone else can remember it...

Anyway, it was a bit like R36's - about the tales, many heartbreaking, of people's coming out stories. It was one of the few times where the DL kept it real. No one was flippant, the stories were profound and incredible and ran over multiple generations making it a great potted history of being gay over the last fifty plus years. At times funny. At times terrifying. But invariably showing how we can triumph over adversity.

I know at the time it was said it should have been turned into a book, the stories were that varied, powerful and important.

The sows at the trough and the make your own baked potato party my favorites.

I can't believe this still exists: Beekman's Josh gets harassed for killing his first Thanksgiving turkey.

Threads that had good gossip. Yes those did happen.

The African Baby Catalogue thread was genius.

Yes, R61

Amongst the chaff there is still some wheat. I've read many seemingly outlandish things on here only to have them confirmed six months...a year...later...

I've posted good gossip I personally know to be true on here but you on invariably get knocked for it. It doesn't bother me in that it's anonymous and why would someone believe someone else who's anonymous... But it does make it not worth the while to share these days. The Datalounge demographic has changed a lot.

Please don't give up posting what you know, r63. Not all of us are so miserable and feel the need to third-degree and slam fellow posters. Bring back more gossip!

The Johnny Depp thread, people were talking about his friendship with HS Thompson and the missing of his former business associate from the Viper Room, Anthony Fox. Very creepy!

Not funny, but I couldn't stop reading The Weird World of Johnny Depp thread, and the Hollywood Witches threads are loaded with DL insider info.

The several long threads from a few years ago on NPR Voices--mostly on the ones we hate. Here's the second one, which quotes moi on the first page re Zoe Chace.

I laughed out lout at the original "Whats Your Favorite Helen Lawson Show?" thread. As far as posts, the one that still makes me laugh out loud was someone describing Patti Lupone as singing, "I wanna wedding with a HONK HONK and HONK HONK with a HONK HONK..."

Horror at the Bellagio. Still makes me laugh.

underwhelmed thread but for God sake I can not find the underwhelmed thread

"Whats Your Favorite Helen Lawson Show?"

That was when I first discovered Datalounge and my life was never my own again. Was that the one with the Helen Lawson "Miracle Worker" musical that featured "It's Water, Helen"?

Russian Rich Lady

Does anybody have the Svetlana Khorkina thread saved? I've seen many references to it over the years, but I never saw the original.

Jackie on Assistance gets honorable mention.

That original Helen Lawson thread was brilliant. There was a long post about Helen playing Linda Loman in a musical version of Death of a Salesman that was fantastic.

R50, R52 I'm pretty sure the Boston Philly couple were gay men - there was another man involved too, the ex bf of the half of the couple who wanted out. The complaining half of the couple hated sucking the other one's dick as I recall - not lezzies. It was very dramatic. The one who wanted to leave was sneaking off to see his ex, who was an alcoholic. At one point the alkie went crazy and the cope found him in the crawl space under his home. Some pets were killed too, as I recall.

^cops

lesbians love the drama

No doubt, R82 but there were too many gay male details in those threads. WTF would a lesbian post here about her relationships woes anyway.

It was all LEZIE drama

all of it

"What was the very first thing each of your parents said when you told them that you were gay?"

Could someone please explain the difference between off-the-cuff camp parody and naturalistic imitation to the tedious R83, who proves so many points with her post she probably waxes her mustache in lady lard?

Thanks.

Another vote for Helen Lawson.

[quote]Bitches Turn On Your TV [for the title alone]

That was great! Classic title. (For any young'uns, the OP was referring to the New York Yankees player who flew his plane into a building in Manhattan.)

oops, just found out that the link was posted before, sorry... R41 It's still one of my favourite threads too.

The True Crime threads in real time -- like for Ronni Chasen

I liked many of the educational ones too. I learned stuff from them and I also learned how many REALLY smart/intellectual people are on this site too! An example is "The Romanovs" (linked) and the few others I can remember;

-Your favorite Art Deco building

-There was one about the topic "Over rated pieces of art". I thought no one else but me thought that the "Mona Lisa" was over rated.

-The "What are you reading" threads are good too

R92, agreed on the educational threads. I learned a lot about benzos and aftereffects from the various threads on the subject

Soft Butch Sous Chef was my all-time favorite, although a very sad story. It chronicled the murder of a young attorney in an upscale DC hotel during a Craigslist hook-up gone awry. So many daily plot twists, and many on here believe we collectively helped solve the case.

Sorry nostalgia is for the fat and the old

I'm looking forward to many to cum

Best Sumerian Actress is still open and was fun AND informative!!!

[quote]Please don't give up posting what you know, [R63]. Not all of us are so miserable and feel the need to third-degree and slam fellow posters. Bring back more gossip!

The BEST response that I saw on one of those gossip threads was some actor who reads DL religiously, (according to him), who got a kick out of, and laughed about, all the men that he was supposedly sleeping with. According to him, all he did was work and come home to his dog. There were no clues whatsoever regarding who he is

Also, there were two threads about the porn star Rogan Richards. He actually came on here to post and even linked the thread to his site. I found his comment;

"hey guys. love the bitchy comments - reposted them up on my media platforms always makes me smile. when u put yourself out there like i do you gotta take the punches with the pats. to clear up a few things though, both my folks are Anglo-Indian and I'm more German and British than Indian. As of my last sexual screening I am clean as a whistle, across the board, like a nun. Steriods does age you and give you a turtle belly, both which i embrace, in my journey to becoming a muscle beast. I realise this look isn't for everyone but luckily for you guys there's many other porn actors and physique models you can move onto. Can't do much about my voice, unless i get a mask and walk around like Bane. Love me or hate me, at least you're talking about me... XXX RR

—Rogan Richards"

I think the Janet Jackson threads are always funny.

What got me hooked was reading the live posting going on during the Tonys from several years back. Fucking funny shit. I was crying at one point.

Margarine fountain

"What color is his skin?" threads

Faux PMBT threads

The recent Car Masturbator thread was an instant classic

Dr. Donna Beagle's fight for the 1st class hot meal

Another vote for Soft Butch Sous Chef, proof that online communities can form dynamically and make a difference. Also, educational and entertainment threads on politics, theater, music, literature and journalism. and the many DLers who are educated, intelligent, insanely funny and willing to be authentic about their lives.

The dinner party disasters thread was hilarious! Definitely voting for that one.

BK went on sooooooo fucking long there were several threads re-quiring updatagination. But, R56, maybe this one suggests the essence of how low those Browns were when my little snaggle-fanged Angel was succumbing from yet another unfortunate family tubcident.

My all-time favourite is "My sister-in-law 'phobed me" and "My sister-in-law 'phobed me Vol.2", but the latter one was drowned out by fraubots, and the first one can't be found with a search after the Great Redesign of 2015. At least I couldn't find the first thread anymore :(

But the taste of how it all began is at URL, #post-13674989

The greatness of the story centered around our gay home-cooking chef who was slighted by his sister-in-law. He then made a tray of very tasty chocolate brownies, but inconspicuously changed swapped one of them to one that contained ex-lax. Then he also left some chocolate laced with ex-lax for her evil sister-in-law (SIL) to eat without permission, which caused her to become totally unhinged.

Then we learned that SIL was cheating on her husband in the office (IIRC), and was eventually got fired, because she missed work, because the bottom fell out from under her for eating ex-lax-chocolate; and our hero along with his husbro began to prepare the bf's brother (SIL's husband) for divorce. And the whole épopée was garnered throughout with superb recipes and cooking methods rivalling "Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management".

Second thread that became an echo of its former self: www.datalounge.com/thread/13614666-my-sister-in-law-phobed-me-2

The Great Redesign of 2015 meant that I couldn't see the links list in my old browser, which wouldn't support the redesign.

(Oh, sorry, I didn't proofread enough before posting R104.)

WHEN DO THE TEARS STOP??!?!?!

[quote]Was that the one with the Helen Lawson "Miracle Worker" musical that featured "It's Water, Helen"?

OMFG, yes! That was my contribution to that thread! Thank you for remembering it! I WISH we could access that thread but it is gone.

Well... if it's gossip you want, gossip which REALLY seems credible, how can we forget the "Mr. Hollywood" threads. That's GOOD gossip!!!

That John Wesley Shipp came here to comment on his own threads.

ANY Miss Warwick thread.

Re: the Jani Lane thread, the "Jani Lane has died" thread is still up but the link in the thread to the original doesn't work anymore. I've tried everything to get to that old thread but no dice. I don't think it was imported with the rest of the archives.

And ya see R112, I have NEVER clicked anyone of them, but may do so now because of you! HOWEVER, I LOVE any, and all, of the Diana Ross and/or Supremes threads!!! I love the shared memories, the videos, the cat fights, etc

I think R60 meant to link to this. I forgot Josh used to post here!

The mocking fanfrus threads are always a laugh, except when the fanfraus invade. Or anytime DL goes on a field trip.

Btw is there still a thread for impoverished/cheap DLers to request new threads from beneficent DL subscribers?

Would someone tell me briefly what "Celebrity Caterer" was about? It comes across as if it was fun. Could we possibly start it up again?

He was a guy who worked as a cater waiter at Hollywood parties and would share his gossip, R117. It was of the "X drinks too much and Y was flirting with twinks" variety.

He was run off after someone accused him of being a sockpuppet. He was posting little hints during his threads to get people to guess his BIs and someone took that as "sockpuppeting." After all the BIs were guessed in that thread he never came back.

Last month, I was able to get Sumerian Housewives and post it. I had copied it for my sister, who was then teaching a class on Ancient Cultures Modern Flaws" and she found it on an old hard drive.

Ginny from Billing

"Last night we converted to Lesbianism"!

In the midst of a long, deep and dark depression, I read this post on whether or not to refrigerate bread. When I read the first post, I couldn't stop laughing. A true DataLounge miracle!

I miss Ginny in Billing. I hope whoever killed her chokes on his turkey lurkey.

"It's Water, Helen" still fucking cracks me up after all these years, r109. I think that's one of the funniest things ever posted on DL.

I miss R25's contributions on the "If Matt Damon had been Emperor of the French" thread. Not only were they funny and fun but also historically apt with many details history buffs appreciate. I hope it's resurrected. What an odd concept for a thread that blossomed thanks to one poster.

[quote] The Datalounge demographic has changed a lot.

How has it changed, R63? Not that I disagree.

[quote] "What color is his skin?" threads

What are those?

[quote]What are those?

Yeah, folks. You have to give at least a sentence explanation to some of these threads. A lot of us don't know them, AND a lot of them seems as if they were fun threads!!!

"It's Water, Helen" Did that have to do with the famous Helen Lawson, and her drinking?

Mine was the "Most Shocking TV Moment" thread.

I also enjoy the "Let's Pretend We're ..." threads.

I'm shallow. I followed this image thread daily! I bumped up my gym wear because of it.

HOT! HOT! HOT!!! Men In Exercise Wear!

Not one of you, not ONE, has had the common decency to even mention the 'Melodramatic Response' thread. I wonder how you can live with yourselves...

OP of this thread wanted us to recommend a motion picture to take his 22 year old 'date' to. OP was a much older man who looked like he was in his 30's, or at least that's what his date told him.

HA! YES! That was a good one, R133!!!

The one where PMBT said he wanted to dissect bodies. Good times.

[quote]"It's Water, Helen" Did that have to do with the famous Helen Lawson, and her drinking?

All Helen Lawson shows have something to do with her drinking. It was her musical version of "The Miracle Worker". The Helen in the title is Helen Keller.

I love the "People shitting in stores" threads, they are so juvenile. I don't understand why they always get deleted.

I'm enjoying the current "proper lasagne" thread. An old favorite was Jodi's wedding. (What was the groom's name?)

Not a single mention of keep bread in the refrigerator thread? Wasn't it about a trick who stayed the night and woke up to find bread kept in the fridge???

The man was so harassed by the DLers he had to make his Instagram account private, and he shut his Twitter account down. The thread was a scream though.

The thread on Government Controlled Time.

I also liked the one about "The Mayor has Declared a Snow Emergency In Boston", though it read like it was dire, without bourbon or cookies. I can't imagine. I just can't.

I like any thread with a moose in it.

THIS thread is by far my favorite DL thread. I have 13 tabs open on my laptop and have added them all to my Watched list. I have cried, laughed and laughed til I cried at some of these threads. Thank you, DL oldtimers. I've only been reading DL for about a year and have been a member for less than a month. I always thought that I was a pretty clever writer but some of you are truly amazing. It's going to take me a long time to get through them but it's worth it.

[quote] I like any thread with a moose in it.

I udderly agree (I realize mooses don't have udders).

I miss the celebrity gossip threads. Will they ever return?

It's the celebrities that changed, R173, not the gossip.

I'm enjoying the Lasagne thread. Pasta is obviously the sure-fire way to generating a shit ton of response.

[quote] I miss the celebrity gossip threads. Will they ever return?

No.

I forget the exact name(s), but the ones around Thanksgiving, Christmas, each year re fraus/offices/cubes, holiday potluck. PRICELESS; I laugh my ass off!!

Anything with Ginny in Billing, may she RIP.

R177, I like Thanksgiving Otter and Christmas Moose (not affiliated with Christmas Mouse).

I've never been to Christmas Moose, but I find Christmas Mouse endearing--the only thing to like about Christmas except for Frawsty the Snowman by the Ronettes.

No R191, not only was it my thread but I had made posts about GCT several times before also.

I have searched high and low, but cannot find an explanation of the ANUBIS CANE. All I know is that it's from an old thread about Things You Did as a Gay Kid (paraphrased). Can someone please tell the story? I can tell it is a hilarious DL classic. Curiosity has been killing me for over a year now.

The Gale Harold threads.

R191, are you me? That would explain everything.

R200, are you me? That would explain everything

Mom?

R202 me too

Blatino Husbear

Jodi and Jonathan's (?) wedding, in which some guy's partner Michael was going to have to sit at the children's table. Or something like that (the thread was disappeared that day).

For the title alone, "Hell's Kitchen is Overrun With Whores" is classic DataLounge phraseology!

The Why are straight me so stupid? thread was funny. I forgot why but it was.

Easy, "Dawn Davenport is eating a meatball sandwich right out in class, and she was passing notes". Also last weeks Make mine Mink thread made me laugh. I forgot how funny those movies are, and the dialogue makes me laugh. Some of those lines just come out of my mouth, and it's good to remember where I first heard them.

The Mamie Eisenhower threads have made me laugh out loud.

I am a big fan of the thread where Mrs. Helmus, of 10th & B Streets, NW, was hurt by a flying cucumber. Reality is better than fiction. I don't know why Jessica Fletcher didn't offer assistance.

I actually liked; "SO! My Doorman Asked Me Out For Coffee..." thread

Jason Priestley is NOT gay.

That was like the original parody thread back in David Ehrenstein days.

Sumerian Farwives

Let's Roll Cinammon Rolls, obviously

The Ohio man who came to Manhattan for a visit with no hotel reservations but a suitcase thinking he would hookup with someone for the night.

The New Mexico man who accidentally sent his masturbation video to everyone in his phone contacts list

Dustin de Wind and his father in law

The guy who started jerking off in his car in the office parking lot and got caught by his line manager

I don't remember the exact name but I think it was in the past year (?). It was the thread about people sharing their experiences with their family/parents about being gay/coming out. It was a truly beautiful thread, very touching, smart and even had a lot of compassion in it which is rare here. Anyone remember the exact title? I wanted that thread to go on forever.

R219, the guy with the sandwich?

Damn, Teresa Giudice Has Some Ugly Kids

My CHUM Is Mean About My GLASS EYE

The Pastor Bridget Hilliard thread

The Nasty Pig thread

Robert Murrae, the male model

The guy with cancer in PA we tried to help

The musings of our very own Fa

The many adventures of Price Leatherbarrow moving from Omaha to Kansas City to work in a high end salon

There was a thread called Worse Dates Ever, it contained some shocking stories, some guys had been lucky to escape with their lives. Some were hilarious. One had kicked his date out of his car while driving - he just pushed the date out of the passenger door with his feet. Can't recall why. There was another who hooked up and met the guy in a car - the guy was disabled , which the DLer didn't mind about, but in the car were some ladies shoes the DL was told to put on.

I think there was one where people took a stab at writing Lynne Cheney pron. I don't remember what it was called.

[quote]Look at This Fucking Gay Hipster Who Bakes

Oh, yes. 'Piecunt' we called him.

R220, see R41

Blue Agave blind items. The best ever.

There was a Christmas thread one year and a guy called I think Justin was in hospital with cancer, and was saying hi to us.He was terminally ill. It really brought a tear to this Mary's eye.

I loved Price's stories too, particularly the ones about wearing the tard helmet on the beauty-school bus and the two rednecks who fought over him while he was dressed as his alter ego, Miss Misty Kiss.

Cash bars at weddings was one where everyone almost came to blows.

Yes, R221 the wanking guy had a sandwich.

r227 Thanks. I think that's the one. 3 years ago??? Life is goes by in a second. I guess it left such a huge impression that I thought it was about a year ago. For me, that's the best thread here in the 13 years or so that I've been here.

The threads where Cheyenne Jackson's insane stalkers deconstruct his Instagram account and discuss it endlessly.

The Pie Baking Hipster may have been how I discovered DL.

Thanksgiving Nightmares 2015 thread. They were all pretty bad, but the winner clearly was r62 of that thread. His 340 lbs nephew ruined Thanksgiving by vomiting on everyone there, and on some of the food.

The first time In checked into DL, about 12 years ago I encountered the thread: Hedy Lamarr on What's My Line?

I knew I was home.

Susie Lee was the poster who brought fun and acerbic old Hollywood gossip here. She always used her authenticated name to post but slowly and gradually revealed she was the daughter of character actor Kurt Kasznar.

Now, you might not think that would make her privy to much interesting dish but Kasznar was actually a ubiquitous presence in Hollywood (contract player at MGM) and Broadway (original Max in The Sound of Music) for over three decades and seemed to know everybody.

Like the other rare enlightened sources here, she was frightened away by unappreciative, disbelieving idiots.

WOW! No one has mentioned Mr. Hollywood? He knew who was gay and who was not. He told stories about the Hollywood houses, the parties, etc. I can't find the thread(s)

I'm in love with my blatino ex con cousin thread.

R238, in the old days it was usually David Ehrenstien trying to run off anyone else who has gossip.

I suspect he still does it without announcing himself

[quote]I loved Price's stories too, particularly the ones about wearing the tard helmet on the beauty-school bus...

I was JUST going to mention that! I have rarely laughed so hard as when I read that story! I am friends with him on Facebook. He is a really nice guy.

Any thread featuring Mrs Patrick Campbell

MPC is a raciSt cunt so by definition r243 is that too

You mean there is more than one? ? ?

Tipping with jam

The original momma threads, in which Momma was trolling Port Authority for blatino trade. Another one in which she was planning a pre Halloween cruising because "tomorrow night will just be a bunch of shenanigans". Those early threads were great. Subsequent momma threads are imitators.

"Things Mrs. Patsy Ramsey, formerly of Boulder, CO, said to the Police that Morning."

"African Baby Catalog"

[quote]Any thread featuring Mrs Patrick Campbell

"More fudge, Daddy! More fudge!"

Document MPC's racism or STFU!

1. Dialling the Phone with a Pencil.

2. Denny and his suitcase in the Big Apple.

3. Once around the garden.

All made me howl with laughter. RIP dl archive.

LOVE THE Darfur Orphan posts.

A few years back I had about 45 minutes to kill in a doctor's waiting room and found the thread about movie titles and plots for future Jennifer Anniston movies. Reading it was a mistake because I started laughing which was so not appreciated by other "waitees" which, of course, added to the amusement. You know, like when you get the (inappropriate) giggles at a funeral.

R251 = MPC.

DL in Plymouth, Massachusetts c.1620 and like threads.

[quote] As far as posts, the one that still makes me laugh out loud was someone describing Patti Lupone as singing, "I wanna wedding with a HONK HONK and HONK HONK with a HONK HONK..."

That really is how she sings that song.

Nobody does it better ...

God help me, and everyone, FLAME away, but my first introduction to DL (courtesy of something I read in Michael Musto's column in the Voice), was in 2005, and I became entranced, absorbed, OBSESSED, by the MFA/DomElijah threads. What a ...mess? fascinating mess??

Also, the "let me tell you about Deb Messing..." thread(s) - priceless!

The "worst date" thread that had the comment, "Hairy Drag Boy is smoking crack in my living room! Lucky me! Lucky, lucky me!"

Oh, and this is off-topic but I loved this tweet from retired General Chuck Yeager, when asked on Twitter, "Who wins in a dogfight, you or Eddie Rickenbacker?"

The (in)famous "Sows at the Trough" thread, with the classic first post:

[quote]Well, it is has happened again at our office: a sales rep came in with a shopping bag of bagels and cream cheese, and four or five of the heifer clerks that work here heaved their fat asses out of their chairs and huffed into that break room like it was the last food on earth! Never mind that they have no interaction with any of the vendors anyway and are in no position to discuss any type of business. But they sure can shove cream cheese into their fat pie holes!

[quote]Me? I sat sedately at my desk, sipping my black coffee, waiting for the rep to approach me. It is too embarassing to be in there with those rutting pigs.

I recall one where older guys like me basically discussed their favorite made-for-television movies of the 70s, 80s, and 90s. It was fascinating! Lots of important Patty Duke information to discuss.

The fairly recent Mamie Eisenhower threads were excellent!

Momma's enthusiastic posts about hot cagemeat

WeHoBoi's musings about the outfits he wears when he walks the Runway of Life

[quote]Subsequent momma threads are imitators.

You can usually tell, because they don't spell "momma" right.

I Accidentally Put My Roomate's Pet Ferret In The Dishwasher

Girls! Girls!! You're ALL wonderful!

LEVSIAN moon cups beeing washed in gay roommate's dishwasher with all other utensils

Mitchfest was amazing fun

The Jodie and Jon's wedding where the gay brother's boyfriend wasn't allowed to sit at family table. And all the mishegas that ensued.

The thread that linked to a high school annual from the 40's or 50's. Everyone began to make up stories about all the people in the photos.

Several of them had the same last name, so they must have been cousins or siblings....the annuals may have covered a couple of generations.

It was hilarious. THEN someone who KNEW the people found the thread and started telling the REAL stories of the people....

Still my favorite.

Why do some guys set the toilet paper roll on the back of the toilet?

Reply 2 is solid gold

[quote] Jeez you are one dumb broad, OP. Men sit facing the back of the toilet when we shit. We don't sit facing forward some like dumb chick. That way we can rest our book or magazine on top of the toilet tank while we sit there for an hour or so reading and taking a mega dump. That's why we put the toilet paper roll within easy reach on back of the toilet tank next to our beer. Lezzies probably do the same thing.

Great memories.

I liked it when everyone would get upset about G/R/UMPY and his issues. UMPY (as he was last known) would reveal way too much information about his life.

Any threads about meeting celebrities, seeing celebrities naked, or having sex with celebrities. These threads always brought "the stars" back down to earth for me.

I do have to say that the site seemed more clever in the old format, if only because the wit & wisdom was always right there in the left column. There was one thread about favorite episodes from I Love Lucy, and someone posted a plot synopsis about Lucy and Ethel's wacky scheme to hide Ethel's most recent abortion. I laughed out loud every single time I read that -- and it was in the W&W column for quite a while. It's harder to find the clever now.

I LOVED "Once Around the Garden" even though I suspected it never happened. I also loved and was suspicious of "I'm Not Running a B&B here." Was that fiction or did that guy really only have one towel and a limited number of turkey meatballs?

The "Let's Be People Found in a Typical Supermarket" threads are my favorites.

I enjoy the Poll Troll threads! They're informative and quick moving.

The DL five-and-dime store thread was hilarious.

Once Around The Garden

Jackie on Assistance made me laugh so hard I snorted coffee all over a borrowed silk blouse I had to pay to replace. It was worth it. Great memories, reading these thread titles. I think I'll spend some time in the archives.

Ha, I just rediscovered the original Mermaid Girl thread!

This is from when most DLers were witty.

So, many, many years ago, obviously.

And then she died. [heh, always wanted to say that!]

"Things Mrs. Patsy Ramsey, formerly of Boulder, CO, Said to the Police that Morning"

It's not that old, but it reads like a thread from Dataloune's Golden Age.

I like the ones about me

The original couple of threads mocking the Twilight fan fraus were hilarious, but should have stopped then.

I have a soft spot for the one by that guy who was getting revenge on his neighbours for using his car park.

The "My Sister-in-Law 'Phobed me" threads, Part I and Part II. Most unfortunately, both were deleted because of excessive spamming.

Writer of this, if you've got all of that saved anywhere, pleeze-pleeze have it published, because the protagonist's gastronomic travails are culinary gold.

You see, after a while, the entire synopsis of how the gay homecook delivered the just desserts to his homophobic sister-in-law, begins to fade :/

I think I only have the first page or thereabouts saved, and that's about it :'(

Mysterious Tony Danza look-a-like porn actor of the 70s-80s, David Morris.

I like the thread where we trash the person who keeps bumping old threads from 2015.

Luna the kitten who (is a kitten a who? or a what?) was rescued a year ago. It seems like an age has passed since then.
