some of these topics have legitimate purposes, but looking at the titles, holy hell
Presitge of the girl definitely takes the cake for me - it is hard to believe someone actually wrote those words. That said, I am glad they did as it was certaintly the most entertaining thing I read today.
Some people should be happy with the tallest midget instead of the shortest giant
That guy definitely had personal image problems. Found my sig in that amazing thread.
I'll volunteer some embarassing information on that one. I used to a date a girl from prestigious all-girl's college in VA, and one of the reasons I was interested in her was that I viewed her background as "prestigious".
Came back to bite me in the ass when she later stated that the "ideal" boyfriend would be an alumni of either VMI or West Point.
any thread that started with: "i'm not a stalker, but..."

Should I take a year off university to invest?

Answer: Consider a career in long haul trucking.
The long haul trucking guy was my favorite, it was an astonishing nonsensical argument that driving a truck was a better life than working in financial services. It seemed like extreme trolling, but apparently the guy was serious.
Most Prestigious Pokemon card http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/most-prestigious-pokemon-cards
I'm so glad people took this seriously. Honestly guys, I couldn't have gotten in without it.
First time I've read that post and I was crying laughing at some of the comments. Reminded me of the Jedi post from years back...
I think my favorite thread was the one where some guy bought his "girl" (they were going out for less than a month and it was never made clear whether she was dating him exclusively) a $2k laptop and then asked if it was over the top. That thread has been deleted, though. Unfortunate since there was lots of good stuff in there.
RIP, VikramBandit
Reading his threads was a large part of the reason I kept coming back to this site.
Double post.
"I'm asking whether I should choose A or B, but I've already chosen A and I'll defend my choice to the death if anyone suggests B or C-Z are better. Would you please validate my choice?" threads.

"These are serious questions, and I am hoping for some answers." -tinybanana
I have a special place in my heart for the square toed shoes threads, like pilgrims getting off the mayflower at the office haha
I wore square toed shoes for most of 2003 - 2005 and I'm now feeling retrospective shame.
Haha, yeah there is def a significant difference between a pair of unfashionable Cole Haan's a college kid would buy vs. a pair of true leprechaun kicks
The front of a man's shoes should also not resemble a pair of women's pumps, so it's a fine line that the virgin army is on high alert trying to navigate.
and the drug test threads...
Lahv this.
We need to do a weekly or monthly.
There's no monkey shit limit. I should know. I think MS is just one metric when it comes to banning someone. Most normal posters get it when they argue or disagree.
I've never really paid attention to it anyway. Although it does make for a fun dynamic. IMO, shit and bananas are one of the pure genius elements of this site. Props to Patrick.
ha, thanks man...always thought the other social networking sites should have a thumbs down. Most dont...
There is not "limit" to MS...like TNA mentioned, it's more about the types of violations, consistency and lack of respect that can get someone banned.
It's a tough balance because many of the douchebags and trolls bring us a lot of entertainment on slow days. I think things are ~50%-75% more respectful than they were in 2012 when it was more the wild west on here :-)

Dude turns $2k into $24k with options and loses it all in 3 months. His commentary throughout the process and his comments on investing are priceless.
"I don't have a college degree, I don't have any idea how to properly manage a portfolio, I am not an, "asset management whiz" either but correct me if I'm wrong, managing money is easy. All you gotta do is take money off the table, rebalance n diversify because who doesn't want a free lunch right?"
"I'm really good at understanding people's emotions and I know what's hot n what's not so ya that's why I think I'm good."
Damn it, I was going to post the models and bottles one. There was a thread a while back, something like, "Can I put "Chief of 100-member World of Warcraft clan" on my resume?" That was pretty amusing.
