The best post I have ever seen on this forum was in response to a question from a guy who wanted to do something romantic for his girlfriend. One person wrote back a long post about having a romantic night with his girlfriend - something to do with leaving out teddy bears, each one cuter and cuddlier than the one before it, then descending from the ceiling naked, riding a giant ice sculpture. It was so funny I was actually in tears reading it. I can't remember who wrote it. It may have been the late, great Jongoguru but I'm not sure. It was revived here on a thread with a similar topic to this one a while ago. I would love to see it again and any other gems other people might know about.

Well if you must know, I thought of making it a warm picnic but the area in which I wanted to have the picnic was pretty far so I decided do go with cold plates. I had shrimp(she loves shrimp) with homemade sauce, salad and club sandwiches(her favorite). I bought a lovely bottle of wine and made a nice cheesecake that turned out better than I thought. But when your on a pinic, the most important thing is dessert. So the cheesecake was awesome and I bought nice large strawberries with the stems and made a nice semi sweet chocolate sauce. I wanted to do a fondue but I didn't want to lug a bunch of stuff with me. I brought alot of candles, and some creams for a massage. I was lucky because they were calling for clouds but the sky was filled with millions of stars that night and well it was just perfect. An extra blanket always helps to keep each other cozy.

Now if you decide to do a 6 or 7 course meal, I once made an amazing dinner. I had made bear paws and basicly these paws (painted red) walked all around the appartment giving different clues and gifts. She likes that alot. For the meal, I made a nice little table for two, which included candles, and a formal dinner setting. The Hard part was I made almost all the serving dishes from ice(took me a while to master it with a small freezer). I made heart shaped icecubes, ice glasses, ice bowls, ice plates for the appetizers, ice bucket, etc. My bedroom had 365 candles in it(to represent 365 days), 90% of them tealights but that was a masive mistake. The room became so warm in the first ten minutes that I had to blow them all out except for the ones on the table and all my lovely ice crafts were melting way too fast. Anyways back to the meal, I made a menu for her to read and the courses went as followed:

1) Soup-Homemade beef and rice soup)
2)Bruschetta
3)A very lovely salad
4)Shrimp with a mild sauce
5)Wine flavoured slush to cleanse the palate
6)Chicken squewers made with a homemade teriyaki sauce which came with japanese rice, sliced cucumber and other healthy veggies
7)Tiramisu

*For a romantic gesture, I would also recomend strawvberries and chcolate sauce.

This takes alot of work and when I calculated the costs, I saved a little, but the effort is what counts.

yeah, you gotta put a little effort in. I remember one time I planned an elaborate dinner for me and my girlfriend's first anniversary.

I started out by building a heart-shaped house and filling it with heart-shaped furniture, windows, kitchen appliances, soap, and throw pillows. Then, starting with one at the front door, I left a series of teddy bears in the house with a note containing clues on how to find the next one, each being more huggable and cuddly than the next. The last bear was an actual live grizzly bear which I had taught to sing Joe Cocker's "You are So Beautiful." After the bear serenaded her and then smashed through the wall to attack a salmon truck, I had my manservant blindfold her and lead her into my Musty Chamber of Love. Then I had myself lowered from the ceiling riding atop a massive sculpture of a stallion carved from ice. Although the extreme cold made me sterile and i lost 40% of the skin on my legs, the dumbfounded look on her face was worth it. After I shared a special interpretive dance that I had choreographed for her, I changed out of my deerskin loincloth and we shared the following meal:

1. Some bread shaped like two doves to symbolize our journey together
2. A live cow's heart to symbolize our love for each other
3. A bag of Funyuns to symbolize onion rings
4. A delightful fruit platter
5. A cake that had "I'll Kill You Before I Let Anyone Else Have You" written a zingy cherry sauce.

*I hope that heartless cunt rots in hell.



Does anyone else thing Faron's post has something of a Fatal Attraction/Silence of the Lambs kind of ring to it? Maybe it's just me.

I've been reading this forum for 7 years and the funniest nonsense on here has been from Billybrobby, Jongnoguru and Squat Toilet.......maybe others who got banned for being too funny about Koreans...

What about that Survivor thread that was on a few years ago?

I can't find it. Too many search results for Survivor. Or maybe it got deleted.

I think the last time I spoke with him he was trying to sell the rights to his fan fiction masterpiece, "Lethal Weapon 2 part 2."

My favorite is from, maybe, 12 years ago.

A guy wrote that he always bought a donut from a halmoni on the street, but one day stopped at Dunkin Donuts and walked by her holding a bag. He said she screamed at him and called him all kind of SOB. The response was overwhelming with posters turning blue about how mad they were with her, how she should have appreciated his earlier patronage, how he should buy more Dunkins and rub it in her face, about how' we' saved 'them' in the war.

Two or three days later, the OP wrote in that it was a hoax. Even still, people were offended because something like that could happen.

Some things never change.

Good one gypsyfish.

Along those same lines, someone posted earlier this year about getting drunk. I can't remember if it was New Year's or just a weekend but they talked about how 'cornholed' they were going to get.

Between the absurdity of using that term in that manner, the wtf responses, and the posts explaining how that's the improper use of the term, I've never laughed harder at a thread before or since.

I even had to type around a few chuckles just now. Laughing

...Back in the day when we could post pictures, any post which resulted in the picture of Dawson weeping. It was an instant thread win for whoever whipped it out. Crying or Very sad







here's a link to the pic: http://ladiesdotdotdot.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/dawson-crying.jpg
