We need to document our history so those who follow us can know what came before

To this end, I present three classic threads:

I inherited a mixed animal from Uncle living in woods.

My 5 year old learned an important lesson from the cat today...

Going to Metropol..., er, New York City next weekend. Where should I eat?

Which threads do you think should be preserved for posterity?

1. An Uppity Person GD CLASSIC!

Stridently held opinion based on psuedoscience but I'm right...

2. We need to save all the LOST threads so that future generations can see how smart we was

were

3. The Dead Pool thread

lives on in my journal.

4. hilarious- I remember the Olive Garden one as being longer and more

vituperative- seems a bit tame in retrospect. So many good posters, no longer with us, though. Rabrrrrr's rant is great!


Do you remember a thread that was about the lounge denizens and had tons of clever drawings/smileys and puns? Probably in 2004 or so? that was one of my faves, but I don't remember when exactly.

5. Great list, but incomplete unless you include the longest lived DU thread, still kicking.

graywarrior's thread that will not die.

7. Hmmm. I think you may need the services of a professional Personal History Documentation Advisor

Many people make the mistake of believing that the purpose of Personal History Documentation is to document their actual personal history. Nothing could be further from the truth. The actual purpose of Personal History Documentation is to create the illusion that you played a heroic and indispensible role in world history, by singlehandedly defeating the Great Chicken when it attacked from Mars (or something of comparable noteworthiness). A professional Personal History Documentation Advisor can help you reorganize your history so that future archaeologists will be awestruck when they discover your long-buried records

8. You can't forget the shortest lived thread either...
