🎄🌟 The Unofficial Official PM Secret Santa 2024 Thread 🌟 🎄

I’m actually trying to do the same thing @JoeW. Ive read the first 10 pages and haven’t had the time to sit and focus to get it done. But I will. Worst part about all this is that I don’t know which memes were over used last year so I’m hesitant to send any in this years thread.

Oh well. I’m going to anyway. Som Besths.

Once you hit page 50, you’ll have realized that it doesn’t matter

Nothing yet.. talk about snail mail!

Yup…

My wife says she "gets" PMSS. (I don't think she gets it at all )

Last year’s “unofficial” thread had all sorts of “unofficial” pressure to hit an “unofficial” goal of 300 pages. Lots o’ fluff and filler in that thread.

I'll drop a hint.... look for its first appearance in a meme / picture.

I believe the later posts even referenced the original post number.

The first year I was on this forum I didn’t pay much attention to SS. The second year I was on the forum I joined in. The third year I actually posted stuff. This year I’ve been thinking about it since early October.

I don’t know how to post one of those memes where the mind is being expanded in steps, but you get the idea.

No doubt, when someone finds the original Som Besths post they really owe it to the group to re-post in the current thread.

The true spirit of Som Besths is the willingness and effort to seek out the origin of Som Besths.

But for those who lack the true spirit (or willingness to waste time), it's post 2916, but better in the context of page 146 of the 2023 thread.

I wonder whether the ouroborian character of this phenomenon may lead to an implosion. It's like a family tree in some parts of WV -- the sort that looks like a telephone pole; or, like tourism to see the history of tourism in a Rick Steves episode on the 17th century Grand Tour .

Self-referential inside jokes are usually born of happy accidents (e.g. som besths) and have a finite shelf life, and although these things by definition cannot be planned, we could plan new opportunities on which such happy accidents (and ensuing inside jokes) may or may not happen. For instance, a PMSS Zoom meeting, or some sort of in-thread game, etc.

If nothing else, criticisms of these suggestions can pad the page count that much more, and for that you are welcome.

SOM BESTHS CHARACTER

Coincidence? I think not.

I thought it was because he’s smrter than the rest of us, or gets paid by the letter, but I think you nailed it.
