...and say they remember various posts? It really pisses on my chips! So what?!?!

OP posts:

The references definitely need to be a bit more niche. Or just lies. Lies would be good.

For example - I've namechanged but have been here years. Foot spa, pirate fandango and hail of ferrets...

‘N/C for this’. Always makes me think oh here we go, what eyebrow raising tale is about to be told?

burritofan · 03/09/2021 14:40

I’ve not been here very long but I’ve read enough posts that start that way I could recite them without looking: penis beaker, cutted up pear, naice ham, elderly Korean lady, pom bears, there you go, I’m actually from the golden age, despite having read none of those threads.

To stop the snotty ‘interesting first post’ posts

How obscure must a DH's hobby be for it to be outing? I'm more interested in hearing about the extremely unusual pastime than the pedestrian post that generally follows.

Korean lady ;)

Burrito EKL is worth a read, such a wistful, wholesome thread.
The rest aren't that funny.

@BrisbaneandGone It was the incongruity off it. Mid argument somebody (who was it) lost their tag and boffed simultaneously. I roared!

While we're on the subject, can someone explain to me what exactly she meant by snapped and farted? I mean, I read it and know it wasn't a typo, so what did she mean? Was it a a euphemism for something else? A dialect thing? Did she mean she snorted? Or did she mean she actually, lost her temper and farted? Because I could never quite get my head around it.

Lemon drizzle.

FangsForTheMemory · 03/09/2021 14:51

The latter, I think.

Ninkanink · 03/09/2021 14:51

Elderly Korean Lady was a lovely thread.

Ninkanink · 03/09/2021 14:52

Badger stew...

TheQueef · 03/09/2021 14:56

To further derail,
I reckon the real gold is in the bin I'd love to re-read many that ended up deleted!
Not the cruel or nasty ones or anything bad, just those that were bonkers.
Especially those deleted for 'OP Privacy Concerns'.

LavendulaAngustifolia · 03/09/2021 15:02

Dh ate the fat balls.

ThickAndTired · 03/09/2021 15:04

@Ninkanink

Elderly Korean Lady was a lovely thread.
Agree, one of the nicest ones.

Spangran went on for too long with no proper outcome though (threadwise, probably not in RL).

I never say how long I have been here, or if I have NC'd but I have had to leave and come back for personal security reasons. Can understand why people put it in their posts but sometimes think it wasn't needed.

Brian from Hull was my fave boi

TheQueef · 03/09/2021 15:24

Brian from Hull was good.
Stood out in a crowd of feathery strokers, there was a bit of a glut for a while.

Yeah nah, still didn't find it funny,

I did love EKL though, that was lovely

@Nitgel

Ucm is that you
Throwback! That still makes me laugh when I think of it. That, and “YOUR MINGE.”

I'm never sure about croissant. I definitely don't want to Kwahsson! but of course I don't want to Krossunt either. So I land somewhere on a low-key krohsson. Without an !
