To ask for the best classic threads (with links)

Ok I know I can search and look in classics itself but there's a lot to trawl through and googling 'best classics threads' didn't come up with much.
Some great threads were highlighted recently on the most unreasonable AIBU thread but I still don't know where Balonz (is that right?) comes from.
I have read Penis Beaker and Screaming in the Sistine Chapel but that's about it.

DisgraceToTheChromosome has a lovely thread about his grandson

Apologies! This should DisgraceToTheYChromosome, and is on the first page about halfway down. “To clap my hands and skip abou in an elephantine manner”

There’s also “drug dependant baby, please advise”. Obviously not light-hearted, but well worth a read. It’s near the top of the first page of Classics.

And Balonz anyone?

I’ve just been reminded of the one where somebody’s husband ate one of the fatballs that the kids had made.

I realised a lot of mine are food related…

I love a good Protestant Traybake (PTB) thread. There was one very funny one, but I’m not sure if it’s this one:

Also Lemon drizzle bitch
Badger and Rice
any about butter dishes
