I thought it might be interesting to try this.

As you know, I enjoy looking back in the dark ages of this board to see what topics I missed before I joined. Sometimes I bump things that I like, and want ressurected, but sometimes I like to bump things that might make people in current threads think a little.

So I'm starting this log. I will post the topic link in this log, then bump the topic. If I bump this topic, however, there will be no need to link it (obviously)<---and, hopefully a rule here.

Feel free to use it yourselves, it might be interesting to see what threads get bumped.

So, to start it off...

I've always liked this thread, though I am not very good at composing Haikus. The other reason I thought of it was that we have just brought home the Two Towers. Enjoy: Uruk-Haiku [Big Grin]

*considers Rivka's post an invitation*

muahahaha... [Evil Laugh]

There's a germ on the flea on the fly on the hair on the wart on the frog on the bump on the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea...

repeat ad nauseum.

You can actually go further down (there's a molecule, etc., etc.), but it just doesn't scan as well once you get things that are more than one syllable.

Edit: left out the hair on the wart...eeeeewwwwww....

This is a great idea for a thread. It's like the greatest hits or something. Here is a thread that I ran onto yesterday during a search for something else. I thought it had dropped off the cue. I'm sorry, but this is one of the funniest threads I've ever seen. I really really laughed a LOT and it's even funnier if you can figure out who in the heck each screen name is. [Wink] So, I present to you, Applications to Be a Hatrack Horseman of the Apocalypse .

edit to add the right thread. This is the funny one. [Wink]

Thanks for bumping that Horsemen thread! Ever read something you write five months ago and crack yourself up? Geez, what drugs was I on?

I read that whole thread again from beginning to end. Greatest hits indeed!

This is the version I know: There's a fleck on the speck on the tail on the frog on the bump on the branch on the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea...

But maybe that's not the right one either.

Btw, I LOVE the thread title... great job on something catchy!!!

We're going to have to keep this thread on the front page forever just because of Pop's formula for musical notes.

Well, I was curious just how many versions of the log-bump song I could find. Here are some of them: one with music, one with other old songs, the army version, a site that's confused -- it has one set of lyrics printed but another is sung, this Canadian site knows the same version I do (with the sneezing flea!), and then there's the scientific version.

To be fair, here's another bump of mine today, but It was done for practical reasons. You should see all those Dobies pages back!

My sarcasm detector went off too SS, but then I saw that he was the one impressed with the musical notes, so I realized he was serious.

Either way though [Razz] .

Is there a list of those things somewhere by the way? I got those symbols from a really round about and back-door google search.

Today's selection was suggested by my predecessor, eslaine. She enjoyed this thread when she joined back in July of 2003. This is a classic comedic thread started by Hatrack's own favorite finger-pointer (and you know which finger I mean) mackillian.

In it, mac struggles to understand the opposite sex, and yet, likely winds up with more questions about it than she began with....

The Bump on the Log now proudly brings you: mystery of men

Enjoy! [Cool]

Last night, while some were wasting their bandwidth on Hatrack Chat (self included), some newbies had some questions.

I think that this is as good a time as any to bump the new "Introduction to Hatrack" primer:

The Hatrackian Ten Commandments by T_Smith.
