Lol, I forgot about OMGLemurs.

The 9/11 thread.

From the moment it happened and so on.

Surreal.

Not long after that, some idiot was trying to tell me that the whole population of Afghanistan was going to swarm on U.S. soldiers, and that the push into the country would be a bloodbath of epic proportions... make Vietnam look like a crushing victory, etc.

What was that thread where some guy called out a GAF user for stealing, or breaking I don't remember, something of his and it devolved into the the guy, the guy he was calling out, the guy he was calling outs girlfriend, and some other people arguing?

The truth about Kazenone, IIRC. The OP and Kazenone are both GAFers. Haha.

Well, they were right about the bloodbath part, just not about WHERE it would happen.

It might not be a super duper thread and it might be gaming side but I was tickled pink by the Super PS3 thread.

Also Jbaird, lawl.

He was talking about massive, immediate losses, (like 10,000 in one month or some shit) not attrition by overstaying the shit out of our welcome.
And at that point, the idea of going into Iraq was almost unimaginable. There was no reason to, and W's crew weren't pushing it in public yet.

I whinny my fervor lowly, for his length is not as great as those of the Hylian war stallions
I remember a thread where a guy was going to relaunch the Dreamcast with a ton of games. Can't seem to find it, it may have been before the relaunch.

Did he have a stockpile of guns in his basement and sometimes mutter to himself "It's coming, it's coming..." ?

From a personal standpoint, I was one of only two people livetweeting the "Natal Experience" pre-E3 event in 2010. When I got home later that night and read through the thread's responses to my tweets, I was in literal TEARS for nearly twenty minutes straight from laughing.

Thread is here, though unfortunately, a lot of the images used the now-banned image hosting site. Still hilarious.

I doubt that he could afford a stockpile of guns, or a basement.
 
The dude who opened up his PS3, polished it, and claimed that he could play GTA4 at a higher resolution is probably my favorite thing ever.
 
I don't know about "historic" but that one night where people learned to cross into the 4th dimension with the glitchy ass alien looking language was hilarious. The initial reactions were golden, then it started crossing INTO other replies, then spread across a bunch of OT threads, and even infected the thread titles. So good.

Historic in retrospect, I miss the days where I could make threads... like this, or this.

But man the NPD gif days were pretty fun, and speaking of the gaming side, APOCALYPS3 was a hilarious ride to get through. :lol

Dude, didn't realise you made those threads. Good stuff.

For me the brightest and funniest memory is associated with this thread: Most embarrassing place you've ever farted?

I don't think I have laughed quite as hard anything else beside that thread.

Oh, and of course the three times I was banned. Those have been... memorable.
Chitown's post slays me each time:
Michelle Obama, in the campaign office I was working at.

I just walked in and had to high step to avoid a stepping on some documents and the Vuvzela Concerto in B flat happened.

When I used to take protein powder I used to fart like an absolute demon, they were monstrosities of biblical proportions, could clear a room in 5 seconds flat - horrendous! The worst thing is that I had to fart all the time, gas was bad as, anyway I worked at a desk.

I used to take toilet breaks every couple of hours to go and let them rip and I'd have so much built up that I could do 30 - 45 second non stop farts.

Anyway, this one day at work we were hella busy and I literally couldn't get away from my desk for the whole day. This fucken gas bomb had built up inside of me like you wouldn't believe... Imagine 10 dead bodies cooking in an enclosed space in the sun for a week and times that by 50 and you might get an idea of what was building up inside of me, anyway my guts were rumbling like a fucken freight train by the end of the day.

I had to stay back late and it ended up being just me and my boss left in the office, this happened often and usually I could just sit at my desk and he would stay in his office. I thought I was safe, I was busy as sin and I wanted to get the hell out of there as soon as I could because it was getting late and the toilet was a while away, so I took the risk of dropping my guts slowly and steadily for the next five minutes at my desk.

My god, it was a silent bitch, but it burned like hot coals as the toxic hot air slowly moved out of my guts and into the atmosphere around me and boy oh boy, I don't think I've ever smelled anything so disgustingly fucken rank in my life. Just as I'm finishing up, red faced and embarrassed enough that something so fucked up came from inside of me, my boss walks out of his office to come talk to me. I sit there thinking "fuck fuck fuck shit shit there's no way he's not gonna smell it, no way no way" he walks up to me, there is this disgusting pungent aroma in the air around me just hanging there, I'm so embarrassed and shitting myself, will he stay and pretend he can't smell it, what will he say (he's one of these ultra professional, never joke around ultra conservative old guy types), there is only me and him in the office and so there is no one else to blame it on. He must be thinking I fucken shit myself or something.

Anyway, his nose sorta wrinkles a little bit, I can see him taking a whiff, I can see his eyes water a little bit as he goes to talk it looks like he almost gags, in my head I'm thinking "oh my fuck but I'm also fucking pissing myself" and he forces out real quick. "I'll ask you about this tomorrow, go home, it's getting late".

Hahahaha!! Oh god.
I can't breathe.

edit: That thread is killing me.

I want it on record that I have no idea what this post refers to.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Dark Souls OT1... epic.
 
Ok so I've started reading that JBaird murder plot one. Only on like page 10/51 but this is insane LOL. Watching GAF turn on the dude at one specific point and then getting destroyed.
 
I'm relatively new to NeoGaf so I haven't been involved in many legendary threads. This one is my first.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=392909&highlight=getting+married&page=20

TL;DR Version: Virgin in his late 20's is deployed to the Philippines, loses his virginity to a whore (literally), falls in love with her, she scams money out of him before breaking up with him. Then for some reason, he marries her sister who is also a whore spends thousands of dollars to bring her over to the US. No surprise, she eventually reveals that she doesn't love him but since she's a selfish piece of shit, she continues to manipulate him into giving her money.

It's honestly one of the most depressing threads I've ever read. The rationalizations the guy makes in the face of repeated warnings is is funny at first, then enraging and finally when he updates us on how big of a cunt she is, it becomes sad.
 
Anyone have pictures of the PM's from the guy who thought someone here was Michael Cera and was trying to become his assistant? Tried looking it up last week and the thread where it all happened had nothing but old broken links.

Way to call the man's wife pretty much every disgusting insult under the sun in one easy post, go you.
