What comment have you read, maybe a long time ago, that you still remember?
I still remember one MNer insisting a 4 year old should be able to walk a mile in 12 minutes. Mine are obviously slackers.

I remember another food bank thread which put people off from giving by mocking a lot of the donations.
A few kind volunteers tried to explain why some things were probably not ideal (people not having fridge or proper cooking facilities)< but the nastiness of the OP was disheartening.

“Snapped and farted” was NOT a typo, the OP explained she had IBS

Thank you, TeaStory. It annoys me when it gets recounted as being a typo because the beauty is that it wasn't!

I have never read the 'snapped and farted' thread. The more I kept hearing about it the less I wanted to. I wondered if it was Penis Beaker mark 2 with all the spitting tea over the keyboard/waking the baby up laughing comments.

I might have a read and see what all the fuss is about.

I have never read the 'snapped and farted' thread. The more I kept hearing about it the less I wanted to.

God, yes, Sparkling. I'm the same. I visualise it as a ghastly version of the 'bend and snap' routine in Legally Blonde, only with flatulence, and it's got to the point where I'm mildly irritated even by other people going on about what a timeless piece of Mn comedy gold it is.

Sparklingbrook · 27/01/2019 14:57

Should I go and have a read Parthenope? I may be spitting tea at my keyboard and wheezing with laughter. Or I will be Confused.

IhateBoswell · 27/01/2019 14:59

I honestly wouldn’t bother reading snapped and farted.
Root canal work is funnier.

Sparklingbrook · 27/01/2019 15:03

But I have got my cuppa, and the cat is asleep so I am all set IhateBoswell.

Sparklingbrook - I may be spitting tea at my keyboard and wheezing with laughter

You won't be. I can assure you of that. It was a bizarre comment to have made, but the mass hysteria that followed was somewhat overkill.

Parthenope · 27/01/2019 15:13

Go on, then, Sparklingbrook. If it causes an actual grin let's leave aside snorted tea hitting the keyboard or weeing yourself on trains with the hilarity of it all I will admit I have been possibly unfair and go and read it.

IhateBoswell · 27/01/2019 15:17

You need to read it now to let us know what you think Grin

CigarsofthePharoahs · 27/01/2019 15:43

Brian from Hull and his Yoni massages.
Very funny.

solongthen · 27/01/2019 15:44

I remember a thread about a woman who thought you urinated out of your vagina, she got very defensive at the replies and said how should she know as she never did biology at school.

poundoflard · 27/01/2019 15:50

I loved the autocorrect ones esp the lamb tagine and 'anus anus' instead of cous cous.

and the fat match and other fashion disasters. I still have that on I'm watching' if ever I need cheering up.

Sparklingbrook · 27/01/2019 15:52

Right, my brother rang so will have to boil the kettle again but I am off to read Snapped and Farted with an open mind.

Sparklingbrook · 27/01/2019 15:54

18 pages. Shock

ReaganSomerset · 27/01/2019 15:57

Snapped and farted made me laugh. The early pages at least, before the op updated. Some of the comments Grin

ginpink · 27/01/2019 16:03

I read snapped and farted before it had many, if any comments. I found it hilarious but can imagine now that it's been raved about, the punchline wouldn't be as funny x

Sparklingbrook · 27/01/2019 16:05

I am up to page 4. All posters crying with laughter so far, I don't understand what 'snapped and farted' is yet.
So the thread iself was about karate, I didn't know that.

OdeToDiazepam · 27/01/2019 16:11

Not my circus not my monkeys

I love that phrase and use it all the time now

Sparklingbrook · 27/01/2019 16:13

Right, so the OP (who isn't overly involved in the thread) has said they have IBS as if that explains everything. Not what I was expecting as that doesn't explain anything.

Lots of calls for Classics where it must have got moved to.

OdeToDiazepam · 27/01/2019 16:13

What's a spoony fucker?

treaclesoda · 27/01/2019 16:13

Sparkling snapped and farted left me a bit bemused. I didn't know whether to feel sorry for the OP or for her boyfriend.

treaclesoda · 27/01/2019 16:15

What's a spoony fucker?

If I remember correctly it's when someone meddles with your cooking. Giving it the special stir and deciding they can improve on it.

Although I may have got that mixed up with another thread entirely...

treaclesoda · 27/01/2019 16:15

Or else it's a huge sexual innuendo and I've completely misremembered it Grin

OdeToDiazepam · 27/01/2019 16:17

Also, you don't owe anyone anything

That's invaluable for me to remember that when dealing with men/dates

You don't owe people sex
You don't owe them your time
You don't owe them an explanation
