202ChudFusk, I’m pretty sure it was you who posted “Beard or Pubes?” in C/NC. I still get uncontrollable chuckles from remembering that thread, even though I can only remember half of the poem you put in the initial post, FM Steve’s only response being “Oh fuck off this is stupid”, and someone posting the Led Zeppelin Zoso logo. Salut!

203In the last days of the Terri Schiavo case the old PRF had this huge thread about euthanasia: lots of serious opinions on the subject, lots of heated exchanges.
Quite a few pages into the thread some PRFer (I can't remember who) posted a link: the photo of the poor woman lying in her hospital bed in a vegetative state, her eyes wide open and seemingly oblivious to the world. The caption to the link read "TERRI SCHIAVO LIVE WEBCAM".
I clicked on the picture and it turned out it was just a jpeg.
I remember feeling guilty and despising myself for laughing to tears, but o my god did I laugh.

204Haha yeah that was my thread (as Boombats) but I don’t remember the poem. I forgot about the ZOSO post but that’s cracking me up now.defendyachtrock wrote: Tue May 14, 2024 5:52 pm ChudFusk, I’m pretty sure it was you who posted “Beard or Pubes?” in C/NC.

206Okay, I'm on a Rush tear. I'll relate a story.
In 1980-something, Big Black played a show in San Francisco, at the I Beam. The opening band was a band I'd never heard of, Jane's Addiction. I learned that the group's singer was Perry Farrell, whose previous band, Psi Com, I had hated outright. I did not look forward to their set.
After their set, the singer asked me what I thought of it. I said, "I've never actually heard Rush, but that's what I always imagined they sounded like."
He left me alone after that.

207I can’t find it but the thread Marsup started about his boots was hilarious. He’d posted a pic of these ludicrous boots he’d bought and the reaction was less than kind. He changed the thread title to something like “Mean Spirited Thread about my Boots” 
The responses quickly degenerated into a fractal of tangents.
