Best of Brooklynian 2008

What did you love on the boards in 2008? What was scandalous, funny, or the longest argument? Bring it!

Haha the thread from the Park Slope forum where the crazy animal rescue people got OWNED

The Lounge keeps me endlessly entertained, because most of you people are pretty damn clever. Thank you for that.

Also, not to be classifed as Best of, or anything else for that matter, but the passing of Sneaky was heartwrenching and just so tragic.

And on a lighter note: bacon. This year Brooklynian was all about the bacon.

bike lane & parking threads are always EPIC ... and always the "CRIME WATCH" ahahahahah

These two threads (which are arguably one) are my two favorite:

They kept me posting for hours on end. It's all about Victor

^^^^^^ CLASSSSSSSSSSIC

I like the fact that I read it.

Daver at times was inspired. I'm sorry the cats got to him.

Ah here is the thread I was talking about:

Damn, and here I thought it was "Flexi and Potter go to Ikea" that made you join

Flexi and Potter go to Ikea was disappointing. ...you could have done much more with it.

you're just jealous we didn't invite you.

If you had gotten KWAC to go with you... I would be jealous.

I was considering inviting Drunken Revival

My favorite part of 2008 is my favorite part of 2009- Meeting and falling madly with Daver (in real life). I have truly been blessed.

damn, all I got was a debate with KWAC. I could have fallen in love with Daver.

(Congrats WCW)

i'll nominate flexi's "dead squirrel in my yard".... riveting stuff!

The threads involving JAH were my guilty pleasure. Dude posted 263 (often irate) messages in the space of about a week and got the full Brooklynian treatment, never to be heard from again...

Has to be the foot parmesan from the Ped Egg discussion. Gross and funny.

That was the "two phones or large guinness bottle" guy, right? Very funny.

I got to meet a truly good group of people.

Best thing ever.. Carny tormenting Em all over the board with his Bacon pictures Sorry Em, I however have a new bottle of ketchup ready for you when we bbq next :thumright:

Second best thing: carny being indignant over someone putting ketchup on their hot dog.
