This thread has been scientifically designed to become a favorite on Hatrack. As such, it has an interesting theme offset by an undercurrent of serious moral reasoning. It is spiced with attitudes regarding relationships between adult humans of all three genders. And it is as timely as the day is long.
I look forward to its immediate metion on the Hatrack Hall of Fame thread.
Thank you.

Somebody let this thread fall down to the third from the top! A classic like this should be the first everyone sees!
Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :
It's not a classic 'til someone either gets spanked, or OSC pops in to say something to the effect of:
quote:Ralphie, it's what I've long felt myself. Thank you for finding just the right way to say it.
in response to something like this:
quote:Ralphie is, by FAR, the most cogent, literate, contemporary, visionary, even intelligent, poster on this, or any other incarnation, past, present and future, of the Books, Films, Food and American Culture forum on hatrack.com.
You know, Bob, since OSC and I are apparently like this ::crosses fingers:: I could set something up for you to make this instant-classic-thread-thingy work.

so, what makes this thread an instant classic again? cause im not seeing much to the extent of amazing, exciting or even humorable. (except for the 3 gender thing)

INSTANT CLASSIC - REMIX...
It has come to our attention that this thread may not be playing to a full Hatrackian demographic. Although we are not backing off one bit on our assertion of "instant classic" status (note the use of quotation marks -- make them in the air along with us now), we have decided that a fresh new approach might garner us more fans.
Not that we need fans, of course. An "instant classic" is what it is.
But here you go...it's changed!!!

Bob - Maybe something hip, like "new classic". Or, "vanilla classic". We should get pop sensation Britney Spears in here to do our ads, and then maybe add some of those groovy disco lights. The kids dig the disco lights, right? Far out.
Bokonon - You're regretting it!? My husband's thinking about taking a contract out on you! In order to get me outside we've have to grease my head and throw twinkies out the door.

Hrm...grease the twinkies..and I stay inside! That's just crazy enough to work, Bob dammit!
However, at the end of a year, someone will have to purchase my moo-moos for me and I'm pretty sure that bathing would become a 'life-style choice' in my mind pretty quickly. I'm not sure if my hubby would look any more kindly on poor Bokonon than he does now.

You're right. I should've given Mr. Handey his rightful credit.
I'm never going to have children now, for fear that they WILL mate, and their spawn would become the most beautiful, intelligent, funny, witty, and healthy children on Earth, and people would resent them. Then again, we could get lucky and they could get some of your genes instead.

Indeed, like all classics, it should be frozen in time, held in amber, unposted upon or written too so that the shere classyness of it classical class can forever be preserved for generations to come.

Posted by Argus Skyhawk (Member # 471) on :
Well, I wish I had something of more value to add to this classic thread, but I don't so I'll just take the time to point out that "Instant Classic" is an oxymoron. A REAL oxymoron, not one those joke oxymorons people feel obligated to bring up every time they explain what an oxymoron is, such as "Cafeteria Food" and "Millitary Intelligence." Yes, a "classic" is a work of art which has withstood the test of time, so an "Instant Classic" is a self-contradiction, but one containing an ironic truth, thus making it a true blue, non-joke oxymoron. That doesn't change the fact that this thread is undeniably an instant classic though.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Now Bob, you'll know that this is an instant classic when OSC threads quotes from this page throughout his new book, Hart's Hope: The Revenge of Beauty, and someone starts a thread to discuss his "borrowing" of your masterwork....lol :P:P

Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :

If OSC ever borrowed from me, he'd probably tear his hair out and quit writing on the spot.
ALthough, wouldn't it be cool if the next time he wrote about "God whispers" he used some of the stuff from the "God you say" or "It's Sacrilicious" threads!!! LOL.

Speaking of Oxymorons, isn't Science Fiction an Oxymoron? Science is based on Fact and THeory. Fiction is based on lies.
Take a deeper look.
Oxi, as we all know from those Oxi-clean commercials, means Oxygen Powered. Hence an Sciene Fiction writer is an Oximoronic Writer, or an Oxygen Powered Moron who writes.
Luckily all the good science fiction I read, like that by OSC is typed. He's a futurist.

Likewise, I thought you kept flashing me for the same reason rather than as an exchange for more drinks.
Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :
Well, I guess we both got what we wanted.

This is a classic example of Ralphie and Frisco making things up for a joke Posted by Bumper Car (Member # 4981) on :

Bump!

A classic bump by a classic amusement park attraction. The layers of classicness just keep building and building.

I'm jealous, BumperCar. Your alter-bumping-ego is so much cleverer than mine.
*stews*

Onomatopoeia! That's classic!!
Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :
jehovoid is a classic overachiever. Just look at that vocabulary!!!
Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :
Frisco - Should you ever post on Hatrack again, that last exchange of ours... well, damn.
Just... damn.
Posted by Godric (Member # 4587) on :
Now this is instant classic material if I've ever seen any!
Posted by jehovoid (Member # 2014) on :
I was watching ESPN Classic the other day, and they were showing the recent Arkansas vs Kentucky game that went into 7 overtimes under the heading of "Instant Classic."
So there you go.
(I left out a word. One of the classic blunders.)

It was a dark and stormy night. No longer a newbie, but by far the highest member number to post to on "Instant Classic", pooka wonders what she can possibly have to add to this edifice of monkey feces.
And on page 3 she saw it, the elusive Baldar. His recent posts were still viewable. Repelled, but unable to turn away, she began to click and read; click and read.
But still she cannot wipe from her mind the funniest dobie she ever saw, which admittedly isn't saying much: ... Drat, it has apparently been deleted.

A classic let down.
Posted by Frisco (Member # 3765) on :
I think "letdown" is one word.
A classic blunder.

Instant Vlasic Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :
Ooh.. that was some excellent Flash work on the Vlasic website. Did you see the animation when you drag your mouse over the pickle? And check out that typeface! It's almost as great as the "Mr. Television" series I bought. Classic.

ROFL...
(the classic way of indicating amusement before that new smiley came along.

Mr. Poterio head mentioned "instant classic" in the context of Disney, and I had to bump the thread!

Ah ha! A classic!

If you would be so kind as to indulge me, I'd like to introduce you to the Thread Taste Testing Challenge. Simply read this page blindfolded, and then read this page blindfolded.
Then try to tell which is Thread Classic, and which is New Thread. We think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Posted by Frisco (Member # 3765) on :
I miss Ralphie.
What happens when an Instant Classic becomes a classic?

I'm never going to have children now, for fear that they WILL mate, and their spawn would become the most beautiful, intelligent, funny, witty, and healthy children on Earth, and people would resent them. Then again, we could get lucky and they could get some of your genes instead.
Ha! Frisco lied! And now the Devil will claim his soul!
Posted by pooka (Member # 5003) on :
Frisco has children? 0_0
Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :
Well, he has 1 anyway.
Posted by pooka (Member # 5003) on :
Wow. I mean, I have intentionally taken myself out of the loop from time to time, so I can't really complain.
There could never be a classic thread without a whole lot of quotes and arguments, atleast not anymore
