Inspired by Wanger Rickett's dogpile and the nostalgia over ArtQ's dogpile. :D

In this thread, you can post links to your favorite dogpiles, flamewars, meltdowns, threads where somebody makes an idiot out of themselves, etc.

I'll start with some of my favorites:

Kahuna Burger gets dogpiled: (http://www.circvsmaximvs.com/showthread.php?t=349) In this thread from the early days of Circvs Maximvs, Kahuna Burger tries to use the same type of snide, passive-aggressive personal attacks that she'd gotten away with for years at EN World. But reveal, PWD, and a few others decide that they're not going to let her get away with that shit at CM. Hilarity ensues.

ArthurQ has a meltdown: (http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=66662) After the Book of Erotic Fantasy was announced a few years back, there were lots and lots of threads about it, and in these threads ArthurQ would inevitably rush to its defense whenever people would bring up just how stupid of an idea it was. In this thread, however, ArthurQ appears to suffer a complete mental breakdown because everybody keeps referring to the product as "elf porn." And if Borko's insanity doesn't make you laugh, the replies to his rant will.

A fatbeard asks for relationship advice: (http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=112639) Some of the funniest threads on EN World are the ones where a Cheeto-encrusted fatbeard wants to know how he can make supermodels want to have sex with him, and this is one of the funniest ones there is. A poster known as Hida Bukkurosu (whose stay at EN World was very brief, probably due to people mocking him in this thread) wants to know how he can "hit on girls without being creepy", and predictably the carebeards start saying shit like "just be yourself and everything will work out fine" (nevermind that "just being himself" has never worked for the guy in the past - probably because just being yourself is not a good idea if you're a socially retarded loser). When people finally start offering him REAL advice, Hida keeps making lame-ass excuses about why he can't follow the advice. My favorite moments in this thread are Francisca's first reply and when Buttercup/Goblin Girl has to explain to Hida just why it's important to shower every day.

Yeah, this thread delivers in so many ways. Like post 123, where Crothian explains that it's not enough to bathe only when you think you're going to a place where women might be, because "Like it or not, women are everywhere." Or post 202, where Teflon Billy asks if Hida might possibly have Asperger's Syndrome.

Then too, D20 dwarf and Buttercup comment about their then--current relationships, which given they (we) got married yesterday, is amusing. To me, anyway.

I love wormwood's reply to ArtQ's rant that the BoEF "IS NOT ELF PORN!"

Okay, I'll concede you that point.

There may be a dwarf in there somewhere.

Damn, there needs to be a laughing out loud smilie for this forum. :D

Anyone interested in a little thread necromancy? I know just the right incantation:

You're prolly right there.
And for the record, I too wouldnt mind seeing a book detaling <snip> crunch and cream along that tone.

Crunch and cream? That'd be the Book of Orc Porn.

Here's a good one:

The thread that coined the KenM "Why do women lie?" meme (http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=138181). :D

DJ, I posted to this shortly after I reread it, posted a Borko meme and PC handed me a 2 week ban from ENW.

Heh heh, popped my ENW cherry. Today I am a maaaan![/egghead]

Second post in that thread is priceless.

Are gamers really that pathetic? (http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=99002)

In this thread, Hida proves that yes, they are.

Another funny moment in this thread is when dreaded_beast gets offended because some guy remarks that he thinks Asian women are hot.

60% of Maximum Evil (http://www.nothingland.com/forum/showthread.php?t=250&highlight=maximum), while not totally classic, did spawn a new catch phrase.

Another funny thread of note that I can't find or has been deleted (or I'm too lazy to look for) would be the Original Melkor Thread.

I think the original Melkor thread was on either SO or the preceding NTL version.

Ah, Hida.

Tsk tsk.

Melkor was on Thomas's NTL, I'm sure of it.

Ugh, that's also the one where Dr. M began his disturbing obsession with KenM. Match made in heaven that one.

Melkor happened on TH's Nothingland. I wish I had a copy of Delgath's 'I'm at D while you fuckers are still on A' flame out. That was awesome!

So has Hida taken up bathing? Inquiring minds want to know!

I dunno, he was an EN World member for about 2 weeks before he vanished into thin air. I guess he got tired of people telling him he needed to change his lifestyle rather than just telling him "you're a beautiful, perfect snowflake and you don't need to change a thing."
