What is the MT. Rushmore of legendary Letsrun threads?

Because the treadmill is moving the same speed as the plane. Let's say the plane is moving directly north at 100 mph. Then the treadmill belt is moving directly south at 100 mph. So the plane is moving 200 mph relative to the treadmill, and 100 mph relative to a stationary observer.

The discussions before the US trials in Birmingham were great. There were some epic joke threads. Summer of Malmo. Any thread bashing the Nike/USATF, but especially the one about Salazer/Grenewald.

Took way too many posts before this one got mentioned. First one that gsme to mind.

The Revolutionary War Thread from 2009.

I know these are boring facts regarding U.S. history - and off-topic for what this thread is supposed to be about - but if you really want to discuss "What is the Mt. Rushmore of legendary Let's Run threads" - you should not be discussing what are the more awesome, famous or legendary, etc., - what "Mt. Rushmore" suggests is that we discuss threads that relate to the most shameful, barbarous, deceitful and/or illegal - because of the fact that Mt. Rushmore, this "Shrine of Democracy" was, and is, situated on, by what the U.S. Supreme Court finally admitted to in 1980, land that was ceded to the Indian nations under the Ft. Laramie treaty of 1868. It's a pretty sore subject among people that are aware of the actual history of the Black Hills - that many thousands of Indians were murdered, children taken away from their parents, religion and language forbidden, that billions of dollars of gold have been looted over the last 150 years from some of the poorest people in the country. But those are the facts. And Custer died for our sins.

Meanwhile, I'd say Kip Litton is numero uno in my book. But as for "Mt. Rushmore" - it's an unfortunate and sad choice as a metaphor. Point in fact, the Lakota people, poor as they are, are still fighting for the Black Hills and have never accepted a dime that the Supreme Count said was their due. They want their land back. Also, this is the 50th anniversary of the 1972-73 takeover of Wounded Knee, South Dakota by the American Indian Movement, which memorializes where the 7th Calvary massacred some 300 Indians in 1890.

The Kip Litton thread was awesome, but how that relates to Mt. Rushmore - I just don't see it.

SJD thread[s] (OG + current)

It's kind of cheating but this thread is the accumulation of many great threads

Don't forget the one where someone wrote a whole hypothetical conversation between Lex, Leo, and Nico and then the first reply was the link to Mayo Clinic's page on schizophrenia.

For all the conspiracy theorizing that goes on here, why is the most plausible conspiracy swept under the rug? He had just blown the whistle on a high-profile doping ring, and soon thereafter allegedly died aquajogging in a motel pool.

Come on people, which is more plausible? That Fauci is a Jewish Lizard-man from China lining his skin-folds with cash from dumb libs who are brainwashed into paying for autism-filled-syringes, or that David Torrence was killed in retaliation for the info he leaked? Come on people, focus that supermassive IQ on the conspiracy theory right in front of you.

I don't think any thread on LetsRun will ever make me laugh more than this one did, but I'm still hoping another one like that will come along. This is at the top of my personal Mt. Rushmore, even if I may be the only one that has it there.

Haha I see some trolling posts from me in there from 18 years ago! Good times

I'm dating myself here, but the "Should I break up with my girlfriend via PowerPoint?" thread was a classic.

And it was 13:55, by the way.

This is the first thread I think of when I think of the LR message boards.

this was not you

Should have fought harder.
