or
5) nothing but somehow it stayed in your mind?
There's an old topic about the meaning of the BoRhap lyrics that I found really fascinating. Perhaps I'm too literal, but I never thought the BoRhap lyrics were that mysterious...
I enjoy discussions about lyrics in general precisely because I'm fairly literal. The perceptions of others and the bends in imagination that I don't always instinctively see are enriching and interesting. For this reason I wish we discussed lyrics more often and more freely.
To address the original question, there are many I'm sure just out of easy memory but one that came to mind was the '100 Worse Things than Adam Lambert' thread. That thread was such a spontaneous group effort, riffing off each other and generally having fun. The group Photoshop that started with inu drawing a Freddie moustache on somebody that ended up in general hilarity is a nice memory for similar reasons. On more serious Queen matters I enjoyed the recent discussion on the Cherie track just because it interested me that the track had escaped attention for so long and some pretty basic facts proved hard to pin down.
We should have a thread Hall of Fame thread.

i think that at one level we all understood what BoRhap was more or less about. It was expressed in Freddie's delivery as well.
I remember the Things Worst Than Adam Lambert thread as one of the first ones I saw when I joined this board. Fun times, although I wasn't really used to the way this place works at that point.
The photoshopped "Freddie Mercury's Son" thread was REALLY fun. It's just an excellent journey to watch as the simple picture gets cluttered with references to Freddie's homosexuality as well as his moustache.
Well, I'll go for a true classic...
Have you guys read the "Brian's curse" topic? I believe it's been going on since 2004 and it's nice to revisit every year or so, hehe :).
The early "Treasure Moment" rants were good for a laugh as well.
Fatty has some very funny threads. Greg Brooks threads are always entertaining. Any thread with a Zebonka joke is good. I also love the Brian curse thread. Some of the Paul Rodgers and Adam Lambert and SBC put down threads or comments have been amusing.
I like threads where people reveal their true character. Or juicy personal details. Or just talk about things that happen to them. Or what they are up to. I also like conflict and really big arguments. Ha.
