MN thread about a inlaws family joke OP didn't get?

[Wherly]

Sorry I know it's technically a TAAT but I think it was at least 5 years ago if not longer and I am not even sure if it was MN, it may have been another message board... but..

Does anybody remember a really long thread about a joke OPs inlaws had about people walking up stairs?? Op didn't get it and brought it here. Thread was massive and iirc OP ended up saying it has been explained but refused to elaborate?

Google failed me and I cant see it in classics. I am 99% it was MN, it just popped into my head and I am wondering if I dreamt it.

Search under Boswell.

I cba tbh.

That's the one. Cheers!

Thank you, I didn't actually find the thread so that helpful. I did find a number of threads about it so I must apologise for bringing it up again.

Fucking Boswell.

The most annoying thread ever created on any forum.

I can’t be bothered to read that thread, could someone do a summary?

No way, that was 2018?!? I didn't realise I'd been around here that long!

There was a really shit riddle that apparently didn't have to be said exactly the way the OP said it and they never came back to tell us what the point of it was. And it ran for 2 threads. Don't waste your time.

Flipin Boswell and the steps!

Fuck Boswell... haven't thought about him in ages.
.. thinking about him made me think of other old silly threads though.
so now I just lost TheGame too

...sorry

Thank you @TimeForTeaAndG I’m glad I didn’t waste my time reading the threads

That was FIVE years ago? Bloody hell. What a load of shite it was.
