It's either one of the 942 Golden Girls threads, or one of the 78 Exorcist threads.
How could I possibly choose just one? This is a real Sophie's Choice.

"Soft Butch Sous Chef" from 2015 is my all-time favorite. DL helped solve a murder!
A D.C. woman admitted in court that she fatally stabbed and robbed a lawyer in an upscale hotel after answering an online ad he had posted seeking sex with a man.
Jamyra Gallmon, 21, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the Feb. 9 killing of David Messerschmitt, who worked at the international law firm DLA Piper. He was found dead in a room at the Donovan Hotel at Thomas Circle, stabbed repeatedly in the abdomen, groin and heart, police said.
During the hearing in D.C. Superior Court, Assistant U.S. Attorney Shana Fulton said Gallmon, plotting a robbery, tricked Messerschmitt into thinking she was a man, even e-mailing him a photo of a man’s torso. Gallmon brought zip ties that could be used to bind Messerschmitt and a small knife, prosecutors said.
Police have said Messerschmitt was in the hotel room when Gallmon arrived and had texted his wife that he would return to their Capitol Hill home in about an hour.
Gallmon's roommate and alleged girlfriend, Dominique Johnson, 19, also of the District, pleaded guilty to a charge of conspiracy to commit robbery for her role in events on the day of the murder, officials said.

I wish someone would link to the legendary Sumerian Wives thread, the African Baby catalogue and the Soft Butch Chef mentioned above.

The Best Thread of the Decade was "People Who Poop In Stores" which the Webmaster deleted. It will never be topped.

The one that first comes to mind to me is the anal retentive guy from Washington, DC who planned the trip to P-Town down the the tiniest detail, and then sent everyone attending a binder with all of the rules.
I can't find the tread. If anyone can link to it, I would be grateful.

Weird that they don’t come up in search (there were like 6 or 8 of them); I had to search on Google.

Any of the “Let’s be a lesbian...” threads are hilarious.
Especially when the lesbians with no sense of humor come in and are offended.

R42, I dare you to start a "let's be black" thread that's nothing but stereotypes and see how black people react.

The Miss Lindsay threads are always fun. I liked the thread about the 2 muscle Marys who set up a GoFundMe for 4!!!! different weddings around the globe. One of them was South African.
And who could ever forget "I Just Slept With Jani Lane"?

R48 above all I mourn the loss of the Jani Lane threads to the platform switch. They were an incredible moment in DL history.
They’re nowhere to be found in the archives, now, alas. Did anyone save comments or copies of the pages?

We were irreverent about it, R55, and some people took offense at that. If only the biggest threat to its existence was a few tasteless jokes by gay men.
