What are some classic DL posts to look up in the archives?

Check out Cain and Abel's cunt-off.

The thread about Darrryl made me laugh.

Too bad the Marcia Cross is coming out on the cover of the Advocate blind item isn't archived considering it put Datalounge on the map (lots of articles in newspapers and online, Howard Stern asked Daphne Zuniga if Marcia was a carpet licker on his show and Marcia herself was asked about it on The View in front of her parents who were in the audience). That's when the powers that be decided that prime time was a good idea due to the site crashing from the sudden influx of visitors.

And funnily enough she did end up on the cover of the Advocate in regard to the Datalounge post.

You can find most older threads by googling "datalounge" plus subject terms. For instance, "datalounge Michael Jackson" (without the quotation marks) will bring up all sorts of things you probably don't want to know about Pedo Pan.

For a much more pleasant experience I recommend starting with "dialing the phone with a pencil."

Sows At the Trough is probably peak DL. I think the original one got lost but someone did archive it and posted it.

When 9/11 happened in real time it was monumental here.

Search "puny cocklet"

Kellyanne's Pussy

Victorian-era Datalounge

If you haven't wandered down the hot, dusty, chikpea-strewn caravan trail that is the Sumerian Housewives you should.

The MichFest threads were pretty epic

Van Johnson: Golden Age Queen

Things Mug-Cradlers Say

I am a big fan of Let's Be threads.

One of my favorites is Let's Be The Movie Fatal Attraction

BILL TAYLOR changed my life with his prose.

I remember absolutely rolling on the floor from laughter over the original Helen Lawson threads and famous Jon-Benet's throughout history.

All time classiscs include Red Dragon Cheese, Sumerian Farmwives, One Around the Garden, My Neighbor is a Gargoyle, Denny visits NYC

Lesbian Potluck Wedding Reception

Shit bra, the one about the whipped cream in a can, I think my neighbor is a gargoyle.

Starlets*Starlets*Starlets!

I can’t believe no one has mentioned the all-time classic, BELLAGIO HORROR!

You know damn well that even if we were to tell you, you would have no way to find them.

Smoking Gargoyle

The one about the Lesbian with the crazy girlfriend who called herself Asmodeus

Can someone post the Matt and Ben's Love Letters thread? I've heard about it many times but I just can't find it.

A Cry For Help: The Taking of Kevin Spacey's Phone

I invited my ungrateful niece over for lunch

An eldergay hissed at me tonight

I Slept With Jani Lane

Mitchfest

The Everest threads were fascinating. And there was a Johnny Depp thread that totally creeped me out, sth about his dark side, Hunter Thompson connections, Viper Room and the disappearance of Anthony Fox.

*kisses doll*

The Senatrice threads

Kim Davis' book about fist pounding gays.

[quote]I am a big fan of Let's Be threads. One of my favorites is Let's Be The Movie Fatal Attraction

That's MINE! It's the only thread out of zillions I've started, that people seem to remember.

Let's be 1978 is a cracker!

Jackie on Assistance

“Murderous Fatty On The Lam...”

The one with Matt Damon mocked up to look like a Napoleon soldier? Someone knows what thread I am talking about!

The Chris Burrous thread, whilst not a classic, was entertaining.

This thread is a modern DL classic. Those of us who participated will forever be haunted by that hat.

The aspiring doorman EST, it was a 2 parter that spun out of control towards the end but was pretty funny for a while.

He's the guy who used to go to IHOP for lunch, right?

It’s all for you, my dear cuntess.

Dialing the Phone with a Pencil

The one asking how Olivia de Havilland died.

I just read R39's hat thread and thoroughly agree. Darkly hilarious, just as the DL should be.

I'm just downcast we never did get a look at the hat.

But not as downcast as she was - boom-boom!

R4 is no doubt the MJ loon who created 500 variations of the same “Michael Jackson is a pedo” thread and always happy to direct someone on how to look them all up.

Anything from Miss Warwick

Thank you R39. The Hat and the Splat is classic! So cunty - but the stupid bitch pretending to fly on an escalator is classic Americana stupidity. Her idiocy would have remained cloaked around the hat story had her family not decided to sue, causing the disclosure of the surveillance video.

Wonder Twin Powers - ACTIVATE! Form of...a puddle!

r48, the loons are the ones who defend Michael

Two words, op: Dan Mutherfuck.

Bear, the baby-fucking dog.

Dan Motherfuck.

Sows at the trough.

The Black Slipper thread brought me to DL I’ve been here ever since!

[quote] When 9/11 happened in real time it was monumental here.

How does an "Elliot Page" thread get 600+ replies, and the WTC attack thread only 428?!

"A Palm Springs gathering" was hilarious.

Horror at the Bellagio aka the origin story of Poo Shoes.

The one about the nude fiisherman.

A deservedly renowned classic.

What was the one called about "Cunts in the workplace"? That was hilarious.

Anybody know?

My new neighbour is a Gargoyle.

r63, there was one called "Freaks You Work With" that was hysterical.

Lesbian potluck.

Freaks you work with.

r67, thank you!

My girlfriend has been pretending like she's been possessed by a demon.

I just found Van Johnson, Golden Age Queen. Great thread.

Wait, it's not the right thread. Nevermind.

Best Sumerian Actress.

Please, everyone bookmark THIS thread (What are some Classic DL posts...) so all of these can be found again.

pretty much anything from 2015

There are two Jackie on Assistance threads: the one where it occurred, and another talking about her.

Jackie 1:

Jackie 2:

Victorian Datalounge

I Still hate my Friend Julie.

It contains a link to the original post, but when you click it you get nuthin'.

Bellagio Horror!

[quote] pretty much anything from 2015

R73 = 2015 Bump Troll aka DeFacto.

Jaclyn Smith and Bootsie Gumdrops.

Four words: "soft butch sous chef."

Mind you, I haven't actually read it/them (there are multiple threads), I just like those four words together.

Soft butch sous chef was pretty good but nothing tops the Michfest threads. Those used to have me laughing so hard I couldn’t breathe.

The current Hilaria ask me anything thread has tremendous possibilities.

R58, the explanation is that most of the best posts were coming from DLers inside the towers.

Is this the original Mrs Patsy Ramsey thread?

I found one of the Soft Butch Sous Chef threads

Helen Lawson Christmas Special.

I found Sumerian Farmwives, but it's reconstituted from where someone's saved it, so a bit hard to read.

The original Princess Diana Scream thread.

I would like to see a classic DL thread compilation thread linking only to other classic DL thread compilation threads.

For R59

The Original Gayle Grinds Thread and Svetlana Khorkina In Space

The African Baby Adoption Catalogue

Not Without My Daughter (plus the ancillary: Wow, I Just Found a Free Can of Frosting in a Shopping Cart!)

Jodie's wedding and "When will the tears stop?"

Any of the MichFest threads, but especially the ones with "Rainsong, I have just stated my boundaries," the seminar for Breast-Casting for Womyn of Color ("Lateness will NOT be tolerated!"), and the vagina cape

Piecunt

Nasty Pig

"Damn, Teresa Giudice has some ugly kids" was a classic but alas got deleted.

Bonnie Mace stories

[quote]Svetlana Khorkina In Space

Price Leatherbarrow Goes to Beauty School (specifically the story about the crash helmet) was DL lunacy at its best; unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have been archived. This thread from 2010 manages to capture some of his flavah, though.

Michfest! I used to howl with laughter.

The original Dead Bodies on Everest is linked. We gather, now, every year, to marvel at the mountain, but that was another thing 2020 robbed from us!

Excuse me, I meant to link the 2012 Everest, not the 2013.

The 9/11 thread! I have pretty much been logged in here since that day,

The first "Celebrity Fragrances" thread from nearly 20 years ago.

The best of which was: Still, by Christopher Reeve.

DL's all time classic post was "Van Johnson, Golden Age Queen", circa 2005 or so.

If you do a google search you'll turn up MANY, MANY mentions of the thread, but I can't locate the actual one. Maybe it's too old...

Lesbian Potluck Thanksgiving

Excerpts from Future Celebrity Memoirs

Trump is almost out as President (thank god), but we will always have The Fattening thread to track his widening girth.

Bump

Buck wouldn't have to ask for help looking up old DL threads OP.

R95 I remember their names were Geeter, Glioma, Melasma and Areola.

which 9/11 thread? google pulls up several....

[quote] Svetlana Khorkina In Space —I laugh from cold maw of SPACE!

“From cold maw of space” always makes me giggle. That was from the Valentina Tereshkova, First Woman in Space thread.

“Ride Sally, mere second woman in space”

There’s the classic about the sociopath claiming to be a doctor.

“ FU, Chelsea Boys!” Is a fav blast from the past!

Can't remember the thread title, but there was one where someone was talking about a frau he worked with who was obsessed with Nick Carter from The Backstreet Boys. She created a fake Facebook account under Nick Carter's name and would post messages to herself under the fake Nick Carter profile to make it look like Nick was sending her love messages

^ Here it is—unfortunately, the delectably fattening screenshots that documented the crazy are long gone (thread is from late 2010–early 2011).

R114, thanks! I remember laughing my ass off at that.

Are any of the Prancing Pony threads still around?

R43, Thank you! That picture still makes me snicker!

No, R116, the Pony threads were from 2001–02.

Datalounge's Favorite Memoirs

What is the title of your forthcoming novel about Datalounge?

Pages from Jim McGreevey's Upcoming Memoir (or something like that, don't remember the exact title)

[quote]which 9/11 thread? google pulls up several....

It's right there at R57, you lazy whore!

Prance, pony, prance!

Not worth revisiting but are any of the original PMBT threads still around? I don’t think the saga of John even started with the posts about programs, majors and books, I think it all began with a camera the year before.

Film Characters Who Are Implicitly Gay

Is there an original "Ginny from Accounting" thread or was the origin in the "Freaks You Work With" thread? I'd like to read about this event as close to the original writing as possible.

Ginny.

Thank you r127! You are a new year angel.

Datalounge in Medieval Times

The first thread about the toddler being dropped overboard by her grandpa. It got even better when the fraus showed up to preach and tell us how horrible we are.

Whoops!

There was a great one about guessing the name of Lindsey Graham’s favorite fragrance! The winner was “Eux de Do Da Day.” It still cracks me up when I think of it.

Is the Celebrity Fragrances thread available or is it too old?

[quote]Is there an original "Ginny from Accounting" thread

Ginny from BILLING, you fat stupid whore!!!

Here's one of the sequels to Celebrity Fragrances, can't find the original

I'm trying to dig up some of the older Miss Lindsey threads

My partner just screamed at me viciously because I accidentally bought cilantro instead of parsley

2019 Christmas cookies to the neighbours was fun.

^Thanks R137, I had forgotten (lost interest) all about that one. Now I can go back and see if we ever found out what those shady neighbors were really up to.

Of course the Dialing the Phone with a Pencil- one poster had a (dog or wolf headed?) cane where he would shake it at people and yell, "Anubus!"

The Seth Macfarlane breaks up with "girlfriend" Simeona (?), who somehow actually found us and showed us how delusional she really was. Unfortunately Seth got everything scrubbed from the internet, so I can't find the threads.

The birth of Ypir, the Siberian supermodel (she starts appearing around post 40):

Ypir was awesome!

My all-time favorite; Amy Adams and Amy Ryan are having a party.

Bump

I'm In Lust With My Cousin was a multi-thread DL classic, complete with pix of the big-dicked cousin and various stories of the OP and cousin's hook-ups.

Let’s Be a Lesbian Thanksgiving

I had to buy a new Davenport because of that thread.

Last year talking about her gray hairs

Sit ups

^Whoops, wrong thread
