Seeing the newest Do you believe in God? tee hee fake link thread on the page reminded me of pretty much the most amazing thing I've ever seen on this forum, the Do you believe in Cod? thread. So I made this thread to nostalgicize about such epic threads, and invite the good people of NSG to join in.

What was the most epic threadsteal or parody thread you remember?

It parodies a good thread.

I jest, surely.

What do you feel when you see the American flag.

What do you feel when you see the Canadian flag.

What do you feel when you see the British flag.

Mod lock.

I feel confused at the lack of interrogatory symbols at the end of what would seem to be questions?

As long as Gauthier breathes, my parody thread will never die.

Therefore I claim the award.

I remember Kat creating a parody thread on something I don't remember, despite it being against forum rules. I mean, really, a mod breaking the rules :p

Parody threads and copy cat threads are not against the rules, but if they get like 5 or 6 on the front page they will start locking them.

It's quantity that's issue not quality.

my parody/satire threads are always quality, they are so awesome that most people don't even realize they are parody/satire threads and start going off the deep end with rants about how idiotic and stupid I must be, it's hilarious, because mostly I use the same arguement they did in the thread I am parodying and they come to my thread and tell me how stupid of an arguement it is.

I love it.

Exactly. NSG is a parody of real life, so having a parody of something on NSG would be making a parody of a parody, or (to eliminate the double negative) a serious imitation of reality as it is.

Either of my two "New Year's Around the World" threads. The last one in particular turned into a wierd one. I actually semi-hijacked my own thread with that whole wheelchair jousting thing I did with Maraque.

Yeah, ok. That was lame.

Perhaps. Too early to decide. My girlfriend was sick last year, or the 2007 thread wouldn't have happened. This year, I haven't got a girlfriend, so maybe...
