What Are Your Favorite Off-Topic Forum Posts?

I know Monty posted a piece like this a few weeks ago, but this is truly the platinum era for the off-topic forum. What have your favorite posts been so far?

(Also, I've noticed that some of you have been posting some pretty... "interesting" posts about feeling "gay" and "trans". Reading this stuff has certainly been a new look into the hidden world of WSO. At least some of you can help each other...)

You dirty old birdy :p

Off topic forum is great. I enjoy those “I feel gay but I’m not” posts lots of fun to read through. Always enjoy the ones that seek validation for silly things, like being 38 and dating a 19 year old. The political threads can be fun from time to time, not because I learn anything but because neink and financeabc going at each other is hilarious. Or the random shit post about getting farted on by your boss, Arby’s sandwich, etc. are fun as well.

 

I like the post about the employee being upset by having to get olive oil for his boss (https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/md-asked-to-bring-him-olive-oil-…), followed by Lloyd Blankfein recommending an event where nontargets fight while covered in olive oil (https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/dousing-nontarget-students-in-ol…). theaccountingmajor catching strays in Lloyd's post was icing on the cake

I’m a fun guy. Obviously I love the game of basketball. I mean there’s more questions you have to ask me in order for me to tell you about myself. I'm not just gonna give you a whole spill... I mean, I don't even know where you're sitting at
 

THE ARBYS BOYZ story of course
