Well, Lynx's link looks kind of, um, phallic. And Speed's does have a certain, uh, yonic quality.

Lynx, dobies are threads whose titles parody the title of another existing thread. This thread was a dobie of the "Sox vs. Astros" thread. The point is to make a title that looks close enough to the original that people might accidentally click on it.
Some dobie scholars think that you need a link in the first post that has something to do with your dobie title (preferrably a funny link) but I don't hold with that school of thought. If the title is funny, or if it's good enough that you accidentally click on it, that should suffice.
The dobie is named after a former Hatrack poster who began the tradition and did it excessively.

Am I the only one who finds it ironic that someone whose screen name is "Lynx" doesn't know how to make links?
