I figured that we could do a thread with some flash backs, or posts that you guys think are worthy to be in the Geek Forum Hall of Fame.

My vote is probably pretty obvious for all of you old-timers here. There are quite a few threads here that make me chuckle, but none quite like this one.

For those of you who haven't been here long enough, basically the guy wanted to go back to high school even though he was about twenty-something years old. We thought it was a bad idea, and I forget who actually gave the local police department from where the guy lives the heads up, but they were actually able to stop the guy from entering the high school. If I remember correctly, the cops actually showed up at his door.

I wonder what he's up to now...

That was undoubtedly one of the strangest things I've ever been involved in: a cross-country hunt for a fucked up kid that involved an email to a high school principal and phone exchanges with a detective in Maine, who then checked out the Briz9 remix of Lacerda's hit, "Mad Bitches, Disgruntled Hoes."

I checked on our dear friend Bobby a few times; his blog makes my eyes bleed.

I like to picture the confused look on the faces of those detectives. I smile.

He sent you PMs too?  If I would have known you were a possibility I might have said yes.
