100 Greatest Posts

[EME]

Hey, if MBY can do it , so can we !!

What are your favourite posts that linger in the memory. Please post the links if you can find yours !

1. The Exploding Bogs - HLB - ( Just funny !! , unfortunately only Kim seems to know where it is now)
2. The Definition of 'Going Ape' - ( Best bit of logical rhetoric ever written anywhere , unfortunately removed for security reasons)
3. 'Tales of a Riverbank- Byron and others - I can't find it but must still be there
4. The "Whites' invasion conceived by hlb , ably followed through by Brendans inter alia, unfortunately removed by Mr Lomax when 'we' found out the way to write invisibly like schoolkids
5 ' Jet Propulsion' - Gludy - longest running techical / promotional article . however he still runs a normal 'boat' so never believed a word of it.
6 Greatest one-liners/wind - ups ( stand up wakeup,coliholic, brendans, ljs, massaccio ( aka..))
7. Volume ( guess who??)
8 Practical nonsence gone wild :

Just been reminded of the whites thread. It merits re-reading, if only to puzzle a new generation of posters.

Exactly how I remember it .. and I didn't even know hoe to 'Delete' properly then.

Very childish but great fun and poor Paul Lomax has never been forgiven ( although Kim probably promoted him !).. if anyone still can't work it out just... (.. more fun for new peeps to work it out for themselves)........ ( not sure if Lanason has got it yet though !!)

It was good - but how many peeps realised (or didn't realise) that if you hover your cursor over the white text (it turns from an arrow to an 'I') then triple click it and the whole lot is highlighted blue...

Some of us just changed our background colour so it was no longer white. That way you could read any hidden text without searching for it

And Me !!

You think anyone could make that stuff up?

Actually there is one big lie in my stuff , but only one person found it. All about the boat itself, not what happened ( which is an amalgm of stuff ) . I laso have excluded when I took out the fuel pontoon at La Nap.. ( also done better by someone else hereabouts).. so of zero consequence.
