Does anyone remember one of the extended riffing sessions from maybe a year or two ago that involved people copying and pasting massive amounts of previously-posted one-sentence comments as part of the joke? Mods definitely told people to cut it out/down at some point as well because it was getting out of hand. I can't remember any of the context but I want to see it again.

That's moderately embarrassing.

I did a little re-wording on the Extended_Riffing_Sessions page to make it easier to locate. The Amazon Women from the Moon bit wasn't helping.

Except for a lot of what that thread was originally about, that thread was amazing.

I am going to read the crap outta that E_R_F page, by the bye. Thanks for pointing at it, griphus.

Back then I made a Google Doc with all the riffs. It's still up.

I loved that thread. Sometimes we really are as clever as we think we are.

I got to the Regular Expressions against IMDb FPP from the Extended Riffing Sessions wiki page and now I am crying tiny tears
