Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted January 7, 2015 Author Awards Moderator Share Posted January 7, 2015 I voted 'Yet another thread about doing a plop'. Â I thought my winner would be 'Foley Is Crud', as it's a fascinating look at how Foley went from so many people's favourites to one of their least. Â But I re-read 'plop' over New Year and it's such an entertaining read, I couldn't not vote for it. From one of the greatest opening lines of any thread ('I've got piles') to Kookookachu plugging prune juice, to people organising and going through with a literal shitting contest, to Loki's revelations about ripping shit from his arse, it's compelling throughout, and full of wrestling puns too. Â I sat in Departures in Edinburgh Airport, chuckling away to myself reading it. The other half kept asking what I was laughing at, and eventually I had to show her. She, not knowing anything about anyone on this place, was in hysterics reading it. We went away for three days and throughout the entire time, she'd burst into spontaneous giggles thinking about poor Steve Justice buying the wrong kind of juice. 'Prune juice' became code for 'smile' while taking photos. Â Aside from all that, it's a great example of the camaraderie of this place which makes it one of my favourite places on the Internet. Â So yeah, for those reasons, the plop thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Refused Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I still think about that plop thread every time I'm in the juice aisle. 10/10 would plop again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted January 7, 2015 Moderators Share Posted January 7, 2015 Yeah I voted for that one as well. I don't think I could make quite such an impassioned and eloquent case for a threat about pooing as HG did though. Â Threads about poo are the Wrestlemania of Off Topic on here. We have one every year and they're always fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted January 7, 2015 Moderators Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) Michael Owen hates films/UKFF loves food is a majestic thread going back through it. Â Slapnut, on 22 Oct 2014 - 7:09 PM, said: Oh yeah, and a girl wouldn't go out with me when I was 13 because apparently I smelled of gravy.

Guy Bifkin Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I enjoyed the poo thread, if not the actual experience of drinking all that prune juice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators neil Posted January 8, 2015 Moderators Share Posted January 8, 2015 Voted Foley is Crud coz this is a wrestling forum after all. The Plop thread and Owen thread were both brilliant though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
