What is your all time favorite SB thread?

[BluewaterSail]

Sure I enjoy the funny threads, probably Close calls in the dressing room is my favorite. But some other threads that I can't recall the exact threads themselves changed my life. These were the ones that convinced me that there was indeed a cure to not being able to control my position in the water, even though I held in my hand a pile of C-cards from PADI. The threads that introduced me to the concepts of DIR and GUE, that lead me to take Primer and then Fundamentals, I will forever be grateful for. If it were not for them, I probably would not still be diving, because it felt unsafe and therefore not very fun.

If you think RJP has funny posts, you should try spending a week on a live-aboard with him. it's a laugh riot.

But, Frank has!

Mine will always be the song thread: http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/non-diving-related-stuff/3289-diver-parodies-continued.html

Ditto. And its predecessor, diver song parodies from 2001. Not nearly as long-lived, for technical reasons.

Pete, although we've never met nor dived, over the past ten years this is one thread in which I feel a real connection.

What can I say, I'm an ex-musician with a taste for parody and a keyboard at hand.

Thanks to everyone else for great links, and Merry Christmas!

PS. Almost forgot - the first SB parody thread features a post from the incomparable and unforgettable Warhammer. Google at your own peril!

I've only been here a couple of months, so I'm the NOOB here. The thread I read for hours and hours all the way to the end was the thread something like "Things you've found while underwater." Lots of things both expected and unexpected.

Excellent find, Brian! I'm going to merge them in a bit.

Great, Pete.

PS. Is Warhammer still around? I'm thinking I heard something significant a year or two back, but I'm not sure.

Excellent find, Bryan! I merged them and opened the original. I can't believe I wrote the Ode to the Warhammer...

THIS thread did a lot to convince me to take Fundamentals. (Be sure to read the OP's posts through #59)

Nice thread, Lynn. It explained a lot about the use of doubles. I wonder what happened to Sea Jay, who has not posted since Dec 15 2004, when he posted 15 messages.

I think he is (was?) from northern Alabama or Miss.

"Now THAT's some funny s**t" always starts off my day. I know it's just reposting off comedy lists or something and usually....?....always has nothing to do with diving.... but a lot of times I bust out laughing at many of the posts. Overall, it has the most laughs.
