Best threads/trainwrecks on COTH?

[QUOTE=MistyBlue;5867834]
SamPetunia…that is indeed horrifying. She’s gotta be paranoid schizophrenic. :eek:[/QUOTE]

Yeah, something’s up there. Probably not Down Syndrome as she previously claimed. I thought COTHers were mostly patient with her, as she always looks to pick fights (whatever the reason).

Now I’m almost afraid to know what happened to any of the other trainwrecks! But I am worried about Blind Alter (crazy crayola’s victim).

Was there a thread on blingy spurs?

Is also close to a classic, tragic theme not withstanding.
Though I hope they find the guilty parties soon!

It’s not at all funny but IMHO the threads about the mare Sassy should not be forgotten, especially if the person responsible comes around asking for donations again

I think the start of it is burried in the “suerte” thread which ran about 500 pages but here is the sequel

If you are not familiar with the situation a supposedly disabled person was “caring” for a mare that she knew was carrying twins. The foaling played for hours on one of the online barncams. It was absolutely horrific

I think the original is in here

I’m surprised there aren’t more Off Topic Day threads mentioned. I feel like I’m always seeing some wackiness during OTD although not necessarily lengthy train wrecks because of the limited time the threads are open. I do remember having to google Diva Cup at one point and that was interesting. :lol:

Ewwwwwww, I was eating:eek:.

I don’t know if other people do this, but I’m pretty selective about what threads I’ll even open on Off Topic days. There is a little too much opportunity there for people to let their freak flags fly. :wink:

The worst train wrecks I’ve seen there usually involved politics, and the one time there was an Off Topic day on Election Day, it turned out to be a particularly bad idea!! :lol:

I don’t think she ever claimed DS, but being autistic (specifically, an autistic savant).

my opinion of people stays a little higher if I avoid OT days :wink:

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Exactly, Tamara!

Seems to me there have been some pretty good train wrecks about quarter horses in the open shows and how they would win at the A shows. In one of them, I seem to recall a video of one of Scott Stewart’s horses being posted as an example of a bad mover :D.

:eek::confused::eek:
Misty and Sam: Holy fruitbat! Who the heck is THAT?
Is she on here?
Somehow I missed that gem…

Was it the chestnut horse in his schooling ring? The one people usually post as an example of a great mover?

Really?? :eek:

well now it might be…at the time, I fumbled for the eye bleach all the way to the bathroom…Sister Mary Francis!! I could have gone my whole life w/o seeing that.

and then people want to call and ask me about him as a farrier…well I don’t know about that but he’d make one hell of a VWF (sexiest men) calendar somewhere.:dead:

Love this!! You have a wonderful way with words!! I almost hyperventilated last night, you had me laughing so hard.

Okay I found one of the ones I was thinking of. Do a search in hunter jumper forum for “daisy clipper”. (don’t know how to link it) There was debate over whether Scott’s horse Crown Point was a good mover as well as QH debates. I believe Filly85’ added to the drama. I had forgotten about her :wink:

[QUOTE=Tamara in TN;5867622]
it was crazy and the whole bathroom thing creeped me out even more…don’t get me wrong Burt Reynolds on the bearskin was not bad at all…but the taxidermy project in the bathroom was ick-ky.

ETA link as most readers are prob not old enough to even remember what I am talking about

I was in high school when Burt posed on the rug. I worked as a co-op at an very large, international chemical company, and there was an ongoing battle going on there where this came into play. The loading dock guys had pictures of very scantily clad women hanging up. We all had to go to the loading dock to pick up deliveries, and so it was pretty public. When Burt’s picture came out, one of the women scientists hung that picture up in her office window (which was a glass wall fronting on the hallway), so you saw it every time you walked down the main hall. The men were having heart attacks, but they couldn’t tell her to take it down. Boy have work place rules changed since then!!! At the same time, I remember a report coming out on second hand smoke being dangerous and all the smokers were screaming that that report was a pile of bunk as they lit up in the workplace.

Oh God, Sassy! I never forgot that poor mare and the foaling with so many people in the stall. Poor poor mare… and what struck me most, was the fact that nothing could be said to help/criticize/vent… only butterflies and prayers… gah…

Suerte? Well, she is still my favourite mare and enjoying her retirement! That was such a great thread and many became friends and still are on that thread!

Just pull up the thread, scroll to the address bar, highlight it, then copy (press CRTL button and C button at same time). Then, paste into your post (press CRTL button and V button at same time).

After seeing it as something to be avoided on a breeches fit thread my family caught me googling “camel toe”:eek:

Ugh… oh my yes, most anything she either started or got involved in degenerated into a wreck. And still waiting for the verifiable details of the QH competing USEF in the 3’6" or better today.

How about caylie under farmgirl88 or any of her screen incarnations reminding us she went to PF therefore whatever she posts is right?

Come to think of it. Most anything from anybody named xxxx+year seems to lead to drama.

LadyCounselor…that was CellosPride. She’s not on here anymore, Erin banned her finally. She was nucking futs and has had countless frivilous lawsuits all over the place. She’s never won a single one, LOL!

She turned every thread into an argument about the ADA and threats to sue. This was her last post:

erin, I have a copy of the posts you deleted. i have turned them over to my lawyer. what part of stopping disability bullying do you and COTH not understand? the part that causes the posters who get away with it to migrate to other boards and post hatred there? i responded to a defamatory post. that is not ADA. it is actionable and i will guarantee within the statute of limitations you are all going to be sued for what you continue to do here to me and those who are allies to my point of view.
