along with the pictures of hands that someone demanded way back when.
I favor the more obscure ones:
1. Dopey DUers posting pictures of their hands, for whatever melodramatic reason, I can't remember, now.
2. Some dolt starting a conspiracy theory thread about the Right Wing Tsunami Machine causing the Tsunami in the Pacific, and Skinner having to publicly apologize on Daily Kos or some other rag; reassuring the public that despite what it seems, DU is not full of nuts.
3. The "White Chairs" conspiracy--again, my memory is hazy, but something about white chairs appearing mysteriously in some photograph as evidence of the great 9-11 coverup, or something
4. The "We're Sorry" threads after Bush was elected for the 2nd time; never did I gloat so much at their angst and frustration.
5. Walt Starr's Go Ahead And Ban Me
6. Nighttrains' creepy lounge exploits
7. The very first picture thread they put up, gawd did we have fun with that at CU, to the point where Skinner had to make it private to keep the primitives from revolting since we were mocking them so relentlessly.
8. The very first DU Top Ten Idiots list on CU, posted by yours truly, and the ensuing brewhaha at CU. Dozens of them registered to voice their indignation. I was swatting DUers like flies...it contained long forgotten DUers such as Tinoire, Tom_Paine, Matcom, MoPaul, ChavezSpeaksTheTruth, and other dipshits of yesteryear. Arguably, it launched the "Site That Will Not Be Named" decree from Skinner, since that rule was adopted at DU within a week or so thereafter.
