The TB Classic Thread Hall of Fame Top 10 Contest.

Sign in to disble this ad
Welcome to the TB Classic Thread Hall of Fame Top 10
Contest. Here is an explanation of the objective and the
rules.

The following list is extracted from the Lobby ‘TB Classic
Thread Hall of Fame. On that thread we have chronicled some
of TB’s finest moments; The Good, The Bad, The Ugly, The
Absurd, The Sublime, The Patently Ridiculous and The Truly
Asinine.

Please vote for 4 of the 8 choices below. The 4 highest vote
getters will go on to the next round. There will be a total of 8
initial rounds to begin with. As we progress, keep in mind any
nominations you may have to make later for funniest,
stupidest, classiest, Best of Show, whatever. We may review
eliminated threads later for Honorable Mention as well.

The rounds will continue until TB has come up with the
Top 10.

Kindly do not bump any of the open threads as a result of the
links. Many are closed for reasons that are painfully obvious.

DO not drink coffee or any other liquids while reviewing these
threads and preparing your votes, unless you have a paper
towel and Windex handy to clean up the nose spew. YOU
HAVE BEEN WARNED!

I had a ball putting this together, have fun reviewing some of
these TB gems.

And finally, the last thread ‘Meet Grace and her bass’ is
receiving an Honorable Mention regardless of how the voting
goes.


1- Pile Drivingly Heavy

11- To All Female Bass Players: Please Respond!

20- REMOVE those ads with women's ...

21- Remove those ... Part2 - the return.

41- Sweeppicking after only playing 193 days.

51- I have a HUGE problem and need help asap!!!

61- How to Tell My dad i Have a JOB?!

71- Meet Grace and her bass.

Let the madness begin!

Edit: I took out #31, as it is a Lobby thread not accessible to all, I will have option 31 removed.

1, 41 (man it's hard to believe that was alpha), 61, and 71 because certain individuals are the coolest guys around.

Yup. Basically, I want to cut this list by a half and all the other heats in the first round.

How is #11 not getting more votes. I couldn't breathe, I laughed so hard?

I meant to, but might've screwed up. Blackbird (Big Wheel back in the day) is awesome.

Great thread, Thor! You da man!

#71 gets my first vote. I'm sorry I didn't get to see that one unfold. I wasn't around much at that time.

#1, #51, and #61 are all great, but NIB had a certain flare. I'm sure we will be seeing more of his threads in the other rounds.


Did you check the battery?

I remember laughing so hard I was crying when we were all telling that kid to replace the battery.

Good list. I especially agree with notion that qintar is above any vote.


Way to make it interesting and not include the obvious winner.

51 was cool, although I almost shed a tear when I saw Adrian Garcia posted there.

According to a mod, he had them lock his account. He's away voluntarily. Dunno why it says banned though.

I think 11 is hilarious. I voted 11, 41, 51, and 61. 71 is a sweet thread, but I like it for totally different reasons than the other ones. I like it because it's kindness. The others are just the humor of a bunch of funny guys.

20, 51, 61 and 71 for me.
