What was your favourite MN thread of all time?

I have just searched for it and can't bloody find it.

It was about 3 years ago, was started by cod and was something like 'what snazzy recipes did your mother cook in the 70s' or something.

It was hysterical.

I also loved the thread where we were invaded by the pram huns, Crap Tips (in classics but sadly useless as the links don't work), Shopping lists, "is that you UCM" and "Linda is a hospital administrator"

Also really loved the lefties threads during the election last year.

And my own "fuck I might be pregnant" saga Grin

I have bought some pearl fucking barley now because of that thread....

Penguingate was great- I was visiting people because it was Easter or something and kept sneaking off to see what was happening.

Pouffe o' poo?

Oooh yes maryz - love that wedding one

Penguin sanctuary

I love anything that begins with:
Post 1 "I have namechanged for this"
Post 2 "Oh fuck"

Bremusa · 07/04/2011 12:00

The knitted wank mitten one. Hilarious.

OOh that thread looks good - how the hell did I miss that at the time?

trilian I buggered up a namechange yesterday on a thread about orgasms.

My subsequent post was indeed 'oh fuck...' Grin

The one where someone saved the woman with the ectopic pregnancies life has to be up there too

I also roared at the unusual injuries (nipples caught between oven trays anyone), LostInWales' lego escapade and the stupid things you did at work one (tripping over the corpse...)

FABsBackAndIsWell · 07/04/2011 12:08

I liked spookycharlottes one where a mumsnetter potentially saved her life.

FABsBackAndIsWell · 07/04/2011 12:09

PBS Grin at great minds think alike!

BitOfFun · 07/04/2011 12:11

The Smug thread was Reality's- it was a cracker. One of my favourites was the Vent About Unwanted Groping- it covered all human life, and was quite surreal by the end.

BringBackGoingForGold · 07/04/2011 12:12

Bremusa, 'knitted wank mitten'? .

I loved the recent one on 'What sound does a hen make?' And all the ones about shagging celebrities.

The poo-ey pouffe was pretty funny!

I love the poetry thread, because it made me laugh and cry in the same thread.

I always read the paranormal/weird experiences threads and everyone always says "wait til Expat gets here, then we'll have some great stories" and thats NEVER happened. I so want to know what kind of stories Expat has and I never see.

Quodlibet · 07/04/2011 12:16

Why has no one mentioned the 'Pombear, anyone?' thread?

ShirleyKnot · 07/04/2011 12:18

I liked that one Show did about the horrible kitten thing she needed to buy for her daughter.

I wept with laughter at that the embarrassing things you've done at work which is in classics.

Loved the Extended one with the SisterWives - I was there for that one.

One that got deleted was a right mad woman came on going on and on about everyone at the NCT meetings being horrible to her or something, and then she was MSNing her husband at work - and she was quite mad. I think her babybump was called Emma or something. And then we all got certificates at the end...anyone else remember that?

JarethTheGoblinKing · 07/04/2011 12:19

Can someone link to the smug thread? :)

EduStudent · 07/04/2011 12:19

Booble plate. I almost missed lectures just to read it.

Thingumy · 07/04/2011 12:21

The Shitting elf was a true classic.
