Ghost Posts: Lines with a longer shelf-life than most thread elements

[Bêthberry]

Have you ever had a good, hearty laugh when rereading old threads? Have you found a line or two that, though they be tarnished in the bottom of the barrow, could sparkle with wit on a new bosom, er, thread? Maybe the original context makes them funny, and they might crumble when brought up into the air here, but I really enjoyed these lines from Squatter and the everlong, everlovely Marileangorifurnimaluim . The thread was Thanks, Mr. Underhill.

Which post was in a different league than this one:

I think the thought-provoking threads were there all along, they were just lost in the overgrown weeds.

BTW, Esty also found 14 baseballs, a tennis racket without any strings, one Nike shoe (left foot), a slightly moldering croquet set, an unadorned gold ring, a deflated soccer ball and a bra (if it's yours, we shall return it, no questions asked. Honest. We don't want to know).

Feanaro - uhm, you could make millions off the answer to this question: how does one avoid a fart in an elevator? Enquiring minds want to know.

I do hope this isn't a case of "you had to be there" and do I hope this thread won't delve for balrogs rather than gems.
