Any "inb4 [insert punchline]" effort

Impossible to remember them all and compare. You'd remember one, choose that, then be reminded of another that was even better. Place is a goldmine.

 

[mediumsizered]

There is close to 22k of them, so best not to list them all.

However, the most memorable right now was a lighthearted moment to break a lot of tension.

Black Saturday bushfires, 2009 I think.

Fire sweeps through Kinglake where thylacine60 was residing. No posting, no word. Posters start talking. The toll starts mounting. We start checking survivor lists with red cross and so forth. Entered his name on an online list looking for word. One of our posters (Five/Coach) drives to the area and tries to enter past the barricades to see if he can find something out and gets turned back, all the while walking me through his movements on the phone.

I remember one or two posters straight out said they feared the worst and the mood was very sombre. I don't remember how many days later and the discussion still going, Thy suddenly posts 'You idiots, extinct not dead.'

Incredible tension breaker and one of the more memorable posts on the Carlton board.

Felt genuinely supported by the entire forum at the time. Special stuff.

And totally unsupported ever since ....

 

[PumpyChowdown]

The Cult of Robbo threads are extremely amusing.

I wish I was in the habit of screenshotting the best stuff out there. The Carlton board has no shortage of witty posters, but the site as a whole can be simply brilliant.

There is one post that sticks in my mind though. Can't remember if it was on the main board or Bay 13, but it was a discussion about Cotchin and someone put a picture of him squirting water on his head from a bottle at training I think. Captioned it with something like "Captain? Can't even use a water bottle properly."

The timing and wording of the post were just perfect. Had me in stitches.

Are you sure they weren't just passing the hat around to buy some more matches & kindling ??

 

[thylacine60]

charming as always

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Sheesh ... how many people were lost that day?

 

[Quazza]

I know he hates the word , but for me Thy always brings the "lols"

 

[Robbo's my hero]

Scrawled on a wall in Brunswick "Your taxes pay for my drugs".

 

[Weiterbot23]

think it was the main board, picture of dustin Martin doing the prison cross salute thing after a goal in the 13 elimination final.

The op contained the picture and was ranting about it being inappropriate and showed he wasn't concerntrating on the game.


First post " I've got no problem with blokes preparing for life after football", just cracked me up for,some reason.



I also often pinch the witty sledges thrown around in here and use them on game day to get a laugh

 

[Kramer1]

So many....

I really liked the one where The General made
a comparison with a totally random player, also the one where GBatman made a rather lengthy post...and that time Thy asked where the teams where and it wasn't even time for the teams yet!

 

[ESKIE]

Can't remember which one it was, something I posted the other day, it was really good.

 

[mike ockerts]

Ahh yes, so many to remember, good thread, its like this one time at band camp...

There was a thread years ago, Alpha1 base jumping

Now there was some pearlers in there, in the BF archives somewhere

 

[P_Crippy]

Lots of posts on Norf's sympathy for * thread.

 

[Red Bull]

All Thrawn's posting on the * saga .
Thoroughly relentless ... Brilliant !!

 

[Tony Lynn 15]

Good thread. Some bloody funny posters on this board and not all of them intentional. I liked ODN's post where he put the video up of him falling over the fence at the Lions game a few years back!

It is funny but I had reason to be sharing that moment with friends yesterday ODN
One correction - I was not turned back, my walk had just about reached Kinglake where I would have found that extinct Thylacinus cynocephalus but on recieving your text message that the big idiot was safe, I was able to stop my subterfuge and get a lift back to my car with the grumpy boys in blue.
A very weird experience for despite having lost my own house, the miles of uniform black stick figure trees looked strangely beautiful as I walked up that eerily silent road
"Extinct not dead", is something I will never forget
