Not the major stuff we all remember (Mingering Mike, Heatrocks, PAP Day, etc.), but what little random almost-forgotten tidbits do you remember?
??? Blue Bunny King Moist.
I remember him reaching a tipping point when someone recognized him in the real world and mentioned the Blue Bunny thing. I think he got kinda angry so we had to stop posting 'em.
??? White/Asian love.
I remember someone getting reeeeally upset at a commercial or ad featuring a white man with an Asian woman, then half the (white) Strutters were like "Ummm... MY girl is Asian!"
??? Punani Prince/Versace Broccoli.
Jonny, right?
??? The white text days.
*page me*
??? Asprin's "I only speak in jpegs" run.
Hiarious.
??? Me getting deported to Mexico.
A funny joke/prank started by King Moist that people really believed. Fools though I was jumping fences to get back over!
??? A certain Strutter's breakdown/on-blast post about his marriage and business relationship dissolving.
I won't mention his name because recent events make it hit a little to close to home, but I was one of the few people online at that time and I read every shocking detail. By the morning, it was gone. Deleted by Raj or another moderator. But during I was here clicking refresh and reading the whole thing. It was weird.
??? Oldenstylehats vs Philahobo.
I think they were good friends who got into some fisticuffs at a club and that night or the day after Whitelily (where is she?!) got on here blastin' Oldenstyleformdiplo for instigating. That might've been deleted shortly after too.
Back in those days, I was ALWAYS on Soulstrut, reading every single post in every single thread. My memory sucks so I know there's a whooole lot more I'm forgetting. (We may have even had a similar back-in-the-day thread like this. Doesn't hurt to revisit though, right?)
Anyways, whatchu got, holmeses??

He brilliantly moved the * in the lead characters name. *r***, **i**, ***a*, ****n, B****.
When I first started posting Asprin was the only poster who knew how to do jpegs.
Bambouche.
Herms old avatar.
Phillyhobo's travelogue to ever town with a strutter.
We watched a number of us find success, Vitamin on NPR reporting breaking news from Egypt, O-Dub on NPR, Secret Chimp in the NYT, not to mention all the musical and reissue success.
The thread on kitchen knives. I can't remember who schooled us with everything that needs to be known.

Big Chan, I think?
Aser.
One of the greatest threads I've ever read on any forum/message board/whatever.

THIS.
Hcrink and I had alot of fun on TEH STRUT that day.
I dropped $10 bucks on renaming that dude from Minnesota "Mad Drama Teacher," who was a drama teacher.
He flamed out, and quit the strut in super melodramatic style.
Some of the best money I've ever spent.

yo that shit was a ridiculous night. we had this ongoing fight club thing going at the weekly night we'd spin at a bar. wes and i were punching each other in the face in the parking lot, no one else around. shit was retarded. then all of a sudden theres this homeless guy with a shopping cart asking us if we're all right. "yeah, were friends". "well. friends do that sometimes. can i get a dollar?" wes gives him a bill with blood all over it. then we drive to the end of whitelily's night at silkcity, and end up getting in a fight with the bartenders and "bouncers". wes lost a shoe, got bit on the foot and got banned from the club until he was famous. i lost my cell phone and broke the bartenders ribs when he rushed me when i was on the ground and i donkey kicked him. i didnt know him but we had friends in common who were mad at me for a year. that was pretty much the end of the unofficial fight club
