Topic Wiki

With so much happening on DDF, there are likely many gems that you missed because you weren't following that specific thread. Well I say, "no more!" If you come across a post that you feel deserves a wider audience, whether it was very informative, funny, or deserving of being highlighted for any other reason, post it here.

A few proposed rules:

1) You cannot submit your own posts.
2) Provide necessary context.
3) Quote properly and provide links. Don't say, "Yo, check out Dan's post about RC. It's friggin awesome."
4) Let the person know in the original thread they've been "Best Ofed"
5) This thread is only for DDF. One liners, articles, pictures and videos etc. from outside DDF all have their own threads already.

List of a few of them:
"May your flights depart on time, your apps get auto-approved, and your MS never backfire." -MMGFARB
"Please only reply if you can actually answer the question and not litter the forum with useless Sarcastic banter." -Shnozolla
"Even a broken clock is right twice a day. You're the broken clock." -Baruch
"Sorry. Look at the bright side I just "bump"ed you" -NafNaf12
"I bribed the Guard $1 at the Anti-Corruption Unit to let me into the building - Just for the novelty." -Suave

Going off the rails is an easy way to throw people off your train of thought. But being brilliant is also a way to do that.

The old blood libel stories wouldn’t cut it nowadays. You could have the dead Christian child rise up on his feet, point at the priest, and say “he did it!” and they will still say “It was the Jews!”
Sad, but true.

If done with clear thinking, both are possible. It is our responsibility to speak up but not push away those (in this case most major western democracies) that on a whole have shown overwhelming support.

There was a time when DDF was so quaint that @AJK didn't know which airport code BOB was.

+10, but why BOB?

EDIT: I mistook BOB for Bob Hope (in CA). Never mind me.

My top 5 would be:

BOB/PPT
MLE
Phuket
Banff
Sydney

Long time ago I stop trying to figure this out. The best I can do is to try and live by G-d's commandments. That is a 24/7 job and I still don't have it right.

That seems reasonable.
If it makes your decision easier, I will cover one hour of what was lost.
