Ok folks, at the suggestion of some people, I was thinking of starting a "classic HR thread" poll here, and while I have some ideas for the nominees, I would rather open it up to y'all. If you have any threads you loved, made you cry laughing until milk came out your nose or really meant a lot to you(and this poll my be split into two categories, funny and meaningful), feel free to PM me with your suggestions and in a week or so(depending on response), I'll have a poll ready for everyone to vote on.

The Wrestling Girlfriend Thread by.... JimReaper!!!

I can't remember stuff like that, I laughed my butt off on the "Guess Akhhorus's Name" thread you linked to in the "Ask an HR member a question" thread...only to realized I started it.....but, yes please put up "Classic" poll, with links to the actual threads maybe?

[CNYSkinFan]

Well the Randy Moss for LA thread was pretty funny if you consider it had no chance of happening WHATSOEVER!!!!

[smoak]

I gotta say the reaper thing really stands out in my mind. I wonder if he ever rejoined as another user....

Either way, that whole valentines day date with Stacey Keibler (sp?) was awesome! I didn't really pay attention to the other nonsense.

However, my all time favorites are a tie between Dr. J's thread on the Redskins "winning out" last year and my thread on "promises to the sports gods". People roasted Dr. J alive for his and both threads were just so much fun as we kept winning week after week. What a special season.

[dj_stouty]

As far as debates go; I'm really fond of the Ramsey vs. Brunell threads (I, II, III, IV) from Offseason'04 in which several of us took on BigSef3, Ohiofan and other Ramseyites in a debate.

Same goes for the debates we had with Orange Mane last season.

The thread that had the most anticipation (for the longest time) was Carmelo's Gigantnormous thread in which he made us wait 2 weeks to tell us the good news about his TV show.

The Jim Reaper thread with Stacey Keibler was great, also...

My favorite quip of my own in that thread was when I said:
"Brunell gave back 1-2 million before 05. I know you were probably too busy fighting that restraining order that Ramsey took out on you to hear about it."


EDIT: Ok, I have 16-17 nominees. So, a few more and I'll start the cut down to the top 5.

Reading through some of these threads, I'm feeling nostalgic and would like to indulge myself for a moment. I would like to share my story of how I became a member here.

I found hR in it's infancy through a search engine. I also found Webskins, which has a different URL now and is a nice little resource for history and pictures.
At the time, I had a different job and wasn't on the computer much and I was on a dial up connection at home, so my internet time was very limited. I would check hR about once a week to see if there was any info that was not be reported by the media. This went on for over a year, I never joined because I wasn't a chat room or forum type of person and I had no typing skills.
Fast forward to October of '04, I started doing what I do now, got a cable modem and learned to type, lol. I bookmarked hR and lurked it frequently. It wasn't until mid November that I felt the need to register and post and the reason was all the Gibbs bashing that I was reading. It really ticked me off and I couldn't let it go without throwing in my 2 cents. As it was, upon registering, in my haste I screwed up something and couldn't post, so I sent repeated emails to PSF, lol. I'm sure he remembers. PSF hooked me up and I started posting the following week and since became addicted.

That's my story, hope it didn't bore you guys.
