To wonder why posters say they've been a longtime poster...

[RainbowBriteUk]

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

We said this would go down as a legacy thread

@Somethingsnappy

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.

It wasn't at all funny

Agree with @cheesemarmitepanini snapped and farted is the least funny thing I have ever read on here.

I certainly didn't spit the tea out all over my keyboard.

Or howl. Or snort anything.

I thought snapped and farted was amusing at the time, but it does get tedious when it gets added to the MN cannon. I think the OP did actually fart as a bit of a protest, because she followed up with ‘I have IBS’, so maybe she could fart at a snap if she was inclined.

@cheesemarmitepanini

Oh yeah, 'I HOWLED at that' makes me roll my eyes!

There's also the posters who create a thread that is clear (from the content, and the OP's attitude,) that they are hoping it will get into 'mumsnet classics.'

There is one on here running right now where the OP is claiming her DH invited his masseuse for dinner and forked out on steak for her, and made the OP pay half 'even though she's a veggie.' You can tell by the OP's attitude and how she is posting, that she wants the thread to go into 'mumsnet classics.' It's a bit naff, and a bit desperate.

I'm way before penis beaker. Also before Brian from Hull.

I think k many of the ones referenced were quite funny if you read them as they were unfolding but not massively so and then expectations are raised and disappointed when you do finally read them.
Snapped and farted gave me a chuckle and penis beaker was gross - I avoided mentioning mumsnet to anyone I knew after that

"Howling!"

I'm a tiny wanker fan personally 😁

@MyPatronusIsACat Yes! The very best and funniest threads have been off the cuff funny ones.
Any thread that goes to #2 or #3 always feels 'created

Oh,did I say I was was long time poster??

I've been around for years but never actually read some of the infamous threads.

Mortificado was fun if you were there at the time.

I'm even older than 'found my husband's fake vagina in the shed' vintage. I bet if I went back and reread that thread I wouldn't find a single thing to smirk at, but on the day I was in pieces.

The spray painted pigeon, the minge, the fatballs and the tiny wanker.
Fab.

Niace Ham, cancel the cheque etc etc. If I recall the snapped and farted op angrily elaborated that she has IBS

The question is have you every T Rexed in a supermarket.
I was on the pombears thread - it was weird as was the box room troll.

" I just snapped and farted "

I liked Mexican House Thief, but did that turn out to be fake?
I loved Brian from Hull, but I was there ‘live’, I think that helps.

I feel like cooking steak for the masseuse will be the new cancelling the cheque.

It’s to show you’re not a troll, isn’t that bloody obvious?

How has no one mentioned stop the cheque??!

@icklekid

It's cancel the cheque. And they have

You mean daft, unfunny, and pointless?

I thought the OP made a typo as snapped and farted didn’t make sense in the sentence it was used in but then because everyone found it funny she followed it up with “I have IBS” which had people howling so loud they woke the neighbours up as drinks dribbled down their chins. I didn’t find it remotely funny in the slightest.
