ah, yes...the good old days.


but out of everything mentioned, i don't think anything compares to being threatened with the fbi, cia and secret service...among others. repent was always good for a laugh.:rolleyes:

I used to have stupid slanging matches with BB, usually when I was full of some awful acoholic beverage. Those were the days, eh?
i used to as well, and then it went belly up--the azeri/lukas/long whip thread was a classic.

I can't even remember the name I posted under on that forum, never mind which threads there were. I just remember having many many arguments with BB over complete nonsense.

Those were the college days, and there was rarely a night when I didn't get back completely smashed, in an angry kind of way. So I usually took the anger out on him. :D

I think I kept mostly to the international section back then.

Good times.

Why was the TT forum shut down. I never got the full story.

someone in the industry threatened a lawsuit--at least, that was the reason that was given.
i didn't go there much, espn was where i usually posted. but then one disappeared, and the other should have!!!

the azeri thread is one that sticks out for some reason. other than that....

This 11 page PG1985 thread is a classic. With contributions from all-time greats GRITS, Java Gold, kentuckyrosesinmay, and the man himself, PG1985.....this one is hard to top.
Although reading through it was a bit humbling (why did I like Notional so much?) it is still amusing. The topic is top 5 derby horses and the highlights include:

Java Gold: "Cobalt Blue...who cares about the rest...Java out."
PG1985: "i have a super sleeper, but i have no clue where he is ?"
kentuckyrosesinmay: "I will be very surprised in Street Sense is even in the starting gate."
kentuckyrosesinmay: "Both horses aren't nearly as pretty moving as they were as two year olds. You can pick stuff like this out if you know what you are looking for. Both looked sore to me, especially Street Sense. He doesn't even look like the same horse because he hits the ground so quick now. Any Given Saturday also hits the ground a little quicker than he did as a two year old."
King Glorious: "Only two horses have a chance to win the Derby. The exacta will be Notional and Circular Quay. Haven't decided the order but they are sure to be 1-2."
kentuckyrosesinmay: "Not all horses who are sore will walk sore. Bute hides a lot of things....That's why the people that I am associated with feel the horse's legs at the two year old sales."
kentuckyrosesinmay: "I can tell an enourmous amount about a horse by watching videos of the horses without even being around them. It ties into why they make videos of the horses at the two year old sales."

All of these are just from the first 4 pages of this highly entertaining thread.
Notional would have won. I'm absolutely sure of it. Him being out messed up Circular Quay's chances. Horses are herd animals and those two needed each other.

Ah yes the study group scandal, were they not from like bowling green U? Then oracle was the one who was going to the dean of the sociology department and get them all kicked out of school. When that threat didn't work I believed he invoked the old(one night after class when your walking to your car one my guys is going to kneecap you) ahh good times on that board.
But i do believe the top 5 derby horse thread is by far the best.

I miss repent.

His guilt associated with the hit on the aquarium fish of a political nemisis in his High SChool Young Democrat Club was hiliarious. He likened it to the Watergate break in.

He actually snuck into the garage of his political antagonist and turned the oxygen off in the fish tank while deftly avoiding high security. A planned fish assasination carried out with great care... but the guilt that followed was overwhelming for him.

My faves were back in the 90s on aol. not many of you here were there most likely, but one of the funniest things was when this dude, in real life, sent a whole shipment of hostess ho-ho's to this woman (who works in racing) in ky that had a weight problem.

two posts from this guy in san francisco were classic too. one was his comparison of excellent meeting to alydar, and the other was his example of philanthropy. he was proud of himself for giving a homeless guy his pizza crust when he was asked for money to buy a slice of pizza!

oh, another was when barry irwin threatened to get a restraining order against someone on those boards!

i suppose some of the early drugS posts were pretty outrageous too. he's much tamer now.

MANY GOOD ONES NEVER MADE TO HISTORY AS THEY WERE DELETED...but for those that saw them they will forever be no 1.. satans twin..

Thoroughbred Fan 12-16-2007 04:11 PM
I don't have any of them but many of the threads featuring the oh so wise oracle80 were classics. He could argue with himself to no end.

anyone can argue with themself.

My vote goes to the "Amy Ho" picture thread.

Sadly was deleted, but I laughed for days over that thread.

A classic Pillow job...

Although I don't think it exists anymore, whichever thread contained the introduction of "Shouldapulledout"
was top notch.

Not enough Blockheadd mentions here, people.

I think that one qualifies as a finalist for funniest post ever. Also the infamous but now deleted Satans Twin post.

but thread of the year i think you nailed already, the top five derby horse thread. that one had it all.
