Best DL Thread

I'm Cradling My Mug This Morning, and Fank You Cheezburger come to mind.

The Sachi one after her book came out - that was my fave for some reason - maybe because it was INSANE.

Once Around the Garden vs Autumn Harvest

Sows at the Trough

Dog Fucks Baby In The Ass and all the Larry King threads.

I forget what it was called by that one about Julia Roberts playing Harriet Tubman was HILARIOUS!

Look at This Fucking Gay Hipster Who Bakes

Let’s All Write a Victorian Novel

Censored Helen Lawson on Sesame Street

Let’s all Be a Brooklyn Pizza Place in the 70’s

Public Cruising in the pre-AIDS Era

So many that kept me consistently entertained.

We do this thread all the time and I reiterate each time

The best DL thread of all time was People Who Poop In Stores and the webmaster deleted it.

An Eldergay Hissed At Me Tonight

The original poo shoes thread, hands down.

Loved the Bellagio thread. Can't post the link, but I recommend you search Google for the My Neighbor is a Gargoyle

Hands down, Sows at the Trough

It lives, all the way from 2006

3 neighbors dead in murder-suicide following snow removal dispute in Philadelphia

Engrossing but not pretty

2005-2007 had some lesser-known gems, like “My boyfriend called me an idiot for storing bread in the refrigerator”.

[quote]Dog Fucks Baby In The Ass ...

I was framed, damnit!

The one about Teresa Giudice's ugly children.

I've liked most of the ones I was around to experience (I discovered DL in 2013). One that hasn't been mentioned so far is that thread about the gay man whose boyfriend wasn't allowed to sit with him at his brother's wedding. A DLer got in touch with a real-life, recently-married couple by posting to their wedsite. Hilarity ensued.

The "fixded" cheeseburger thread was one of the stupidest threads ever.

Currently, I'm enjoying the background talent threads. Who knew so many of us had these stories to tell?

“Let’s be a 1970s Christmas Party.”

Any Mamie Eisenhower threads.

Abortion Hut

I’ve always been fond of the Sumerian farmwives.

Was it the genesis of the “let’s be” jandra?

I like ones about scary or dangerous hookups. You have to do a search on Google for them, they don't come up on DL searches.

The lesbian holiday ones are pretty funny. To me, at least.

Denny Does NYC

Vicious Face Slapping

Pets on the Corner Bar Stool

My ass your face

The original Miss Warwick thread was genius.

African Baby Catalogue

Another vote for the "African Baby Catalog"

And "Things Mrs. Patsy Ramsey Said To The Police That Morning"

I enjoyed the one about items that people bring to office potluck, I still laugh to myself remembering some of those and the ways people avoided the parties.

R20 I am looking for the wedding one- any more clues to help me search? Not having any luck yet

What was the one about the young actress who was in a Joan Crawford horror movie, and then was the subject of blind item, acting all full of herself?

I Just Let A Black Man Cum In My Mouth

This one - for the sudden twist at around post R6O.

And Ricardo Montalban’s 6” shorter leg. And lady’s bathing cap. And Moe Howard’s summer tuna salad recipe for the neighbourhood potluck.

Well, all of it, really.

Honorable mention, the guy stalking his young daughter over a purloined can of frosting. I once ate a can of Betty Crocker frosting while home sick and lived in fear for quite some time that my mom would find out. 😆

My absolute favorite so far, Weird People You Work With.

Fank you for all these suggestions. O FANK YOU!

EVERYTHING related to Senator Chris Murphy!

R29, yes it was.

And Nippy dying just as I was talking about her and my trouble getting in to see her was such a tragic fucking coincidence.

Or was it?

Hey. You got a couple of Kools for me, maybe? I got the smokies. It's like the munchies, but.... No?

Well GO GET ME SOME.

People who Poop in stores was already mentioned, but definitely a good one.

I'm disappointed in you bitches for not having already mentioned, "The Masturbating Temp."

I personally also loved the Gymnastics Threads (starting with Kathy Johnson). I still laugh hysterically at those threads. Definitely entertaining if you followed the sport.

I loved ones from the old says of DL:

The Weird Neighbors Down the Street

If Brokeback Mountain were made by Another Director

Celebrity Scents

The pie-baking hipster thread was hilarious.

The thread about Claire the lesbian crashing a birthday dinner and ordering bread pudding is the thread that kept me coming back.

Whether to strain, drain, or rinse your pasta makes me laugh every time.

Meant to say "old days" not "old says" @ R43 obviously

Which reminds me of another thread:

Why Are Straight Me So Stupid?

The Chris Burrous threads

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

Soft Butch Sous Chef because DL helped catch the killer...

Let's Be Sunday Dinner!

Let's Be Datalounge, the Corporation

The one about the queen who fought with his Joann sewing class teacher.

Famous Jonbenets

I don't know if it was the first, but Miss Warwick commenting on Aretha Franklin's passing/funeral can still bring tears of laughter to my eyes.

King Kong will stop the rain

When the man goes up into the man

The Michfest threads, especially especially the crazy lesbian bus service.

I like ones about hookups or affairs with Catholic priests.

The one about Mama Gunt and the trailer trash family that got thrown off a plane was one of the funniest goddamn things I've ever read. It was a true moment of Datalounge solidarity, as we were too busy bagging on the family members to fight with each other. Sadly I have no link, but if someone else does, you'd make my week.

Also, this thread about REAL disco is a favorite.

Granny Gumms

Wasn’t there a thread where a guy was at his desk at work - I don’t remember if he took a laxative or medicine. He was sitting in his cubicle and sorry - shat himself. As I recall the whole thread was him typing in real time trying to figure out how to get from his desk and walk through the office in front of his co workers so he could clean himself up. All the while DL was giving him suggestions. I’m sorry - it was laugh out loud funny!

R49, I’m the OP of the original thread and had no idea about the DL helping to catch the killer.

I posted the article because I lived in DC and thought it was strange a man was murdered in a hotel room near his house, and his wife reported him missing. I also stayed at the hotel he died in and knew it was popular with gay men.

I had no hand in coining the phrase “soft butch sous chef,” but after being attacked as soon as I posted the story, I was surprised how it captures DL’s attention.

Definitely the MichFest threads. They were crazy but it's such a complete shame those women had that one thing they wanted taken away from them.

What Was Your Favorite Helen Lawson Show?

I loved the threads where DL took field trips to other sites to troll them.

Like IHOP, International House Of Prayer, where we confessed, in lurid detail, our harlotry.

The Houston Pastor's birthday party, where she demanded Gucci & LV purses to get in, and Prophetess Juanita "Jazz Hands" Byrnum had a few things to say.

And the English messageboard about Maddie, the missing girl, where Lee Anne DeVette caused a riot by starting a "She Had it Coming!" thread.

This thread is the best one, thanks OP for posting. I am laughing like I haven’t in a long time just reading some of the links posted.

Special thanks to [R48] for reminding us of the cilantro debacle.

9/11

Robert Repulveda

Enby Marries Third Partner (Bunnika)

Sows at the Trough

Bai Ling on the Roof

My Neighbor is a Gargoyle

Jasmine Guy in front of someone's house, I don't remember the title

The thread involving a trick and some expensive cheese and towels or was it a trick and meatballs and towels?

r61, it was a thread in which the OP overdid it the night before and had consumed too much butterfish.

The oily stool had started to sluice.

Definitely Let's Pretend We're Sumarian Housewives, and the Mitch Fest threads. Oh God, the hilarity of organising the bus. I've forgotten the names of all the characters.

I love all the BILL TAYLOR threads, and The Doorman thread just cracked me up big time, for some reason. I probably sounded like a crazy person to my neighbors when reading that thread, as I cackled BIG time during that thread.

Rob & Heidi Beer: The Most Boring Couple in America

DL follows the life of a boring Midwestern couple until they have their first child via the husband's blog. The comment "The gays love the Beers!" made me laugh for days.

You're easily amused, chile.

The man who was masturbating in his car in the parking garage during his lunch hour....and his boss saw him.....

He wondered if he should go back to the office.

R74 he should have only after he came

Let's be Harry and Megan's new life in LA

^ Same concept as above, but this one is twice as long and loads more funny

Twice as long? Ugh I don't read any threads longer than a hundred or so.

So, can I end a sentence with so?

The Chris Burrous threads were both hilarious and extremely sad.

The "Finding Prince Charming" thread was pretty funny. We ripped them all to shreds, especially the "Prince" whore who inserted shampoo bottles up his rectum and had "fans" send him used condoms. Charmed, I'm sure!

Jackie on assistance.

Dark Lesbians

So few replies, hmmm, shows you DL is now filled with MAGAt interlopers and trolls.

Mike’s Palm Springs weekender with the boys.

Mike’s Palm Springs weekender with the boys.

FDS Spray

My favorite thread was the one about Star Jones's wedding with the genius title :"The Marriage of Bigaro"

[quote]The "Finding Prince Charming" thread was pretty funny. We ripped them all to shreds, especially the "Prince" whore who inserted shampoo bottles up his rectum and had "fans" send him used condoms. Charmed, I'm sure!

That thread series was classic. I loved whoever came up with the "special needs" version of Eric.

That thread about Fadi and George Michael having a fight in the Maldives. Pink News wrote an article about the thread and Fadi came onto twitter raging about how it was all lies.

Loved the Robert Repulveda threads, especially when the outraged suitors themselves came on the threads to bitch. That cabin crew guy Chad was a frequent contributor and informed us that Robert was still dating his sugar daddy the whole time he was on the show.

R34

That was “Who Is This Deluded ‘60s starlet”.

That was one of the best, because unlike the others where people were just posting funny things, in that one we were all playing along in real time trying to work out who it was. I remember furiously try to guess that morning.

Then the blog owner came along and began to tell us when we guessed incorrectly until we finally got the right answer and he refused to confirm it one way or the other. He deleted the post after that. The website was called HillPlaceBlog.

Really fun.

Does everyone remember who the starlet was? She’s still alive today so I wonder if she’s ever found out about it. Probably not.

Are old threads now being removed? I clicked on the links at r12 and r15 and see only the message "Expired".

Sows at the Trough still works for me r92

You can also try this r92

I just realized I *am* r92

How embarrassing

The Larry King interviews

The Joel, neighbor and Mitzie threads

Disregard r95; I need much more coffee (and apologies to r92)

Pete Burns and his low hangers

Tipping with jam

Bonnie Mace

The Jussie "ℎ𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑐𝑟𝑖𝑚𝑒" threads were as good as it gets. Some were 𝒔𝒐 invested it in being true.

Curiously most of that old material has been disappeared.

A couple of years ago, maybe even a few years ago, there was an epic Ghostbusters thread...favorite scenes, favorite quotes, etc. It became almost like a chat, and lasted far into the night. Really memorable, and funny.

Deluded 60s Starlet -- nearly 500 posts. It's fun to re-read but not as fun as it was to be there.

Let's create a Jennifer Aniston film. The first 40 replys are hilarious!

I still remember Wingwoman without even clicking on that thread.

'I’m stroking my cunt’s labia...'

Eww, that Supelveda freak is still on Grindr to this day trolling for guys with foreskin cheese. I wish I was kidding.

Any of the hundreds of Aaron 'Toxic' Schock threads always made me LOL!
