It was almost 20 years ago that The Official Friday Silliness Thread began. As far as I can tell it was TheBigB who began this great Freeper tradition. Looking back over his posting history, it seems he posted lots of funny threads and vanities since his sign on date in 2000. But I can’t find any evidence of an earlier OFST other than this one. Dated 11/19/2004.

Here is the very first joke on the very first Silliness Thread.
To: TheBigB
A senior citizens' group charters a bus from Burlington, IA to Branson, MO.
As they entered Missouri, an elderly woman comes up to the driver and says,
"I've just been molested!" The driver felt that she had fallen asleep and had a dream.
So he tells her to go back to her seat, and sit down. A short time later, another old woman comes forward, and claims that she was just molested.
The driver thought he had a bus load of old wackos, but who would be molesting those old ladies?
About 10 minutes later, a third old lady comes up and says that she'd been molested too.
The bus driver decides that he'd had enough, and pulls into the first rest area. When he turns the lights on and stands up, he sees an old man on his hands and knees crawling in the aisles.
"Hey gramps, what are you doing down there?" says the bus driver.
"I lost my toupee. I thought I found it three times,
but every time I grab it, it runs away.

unnngh...
And what OFST would be without Already posted here.
There are Beeber references, hugh and series comments and even a link to the Undead Thread with over 65,000 replies.
I know why there are no photo bucket pictures, but why do all the rest of the pics look like this??? Well, wait. There’s a pic in post 301. Click that link. I dare you.
Did I miss a previous Silliness thread? I’ll be back next Friday with more details on more Silliness threads and the FReepers who hosted them over the years. In the meantime, read the 605 replies.
Thanks for the ping. Part of getting Woke is having your humor glands surgically removed. There must be one heckuva black market in them by now.
If I had to rate our solar system
I’d give it one star
Wasn’t there also a poster called Silly who used to post these?

I think so. I know a poster named Sully posted OFST. He blew up one day. I’ll get to him next week.
Seems like it was Lucky 13 who took it over, if memory serves.

It was her younger sister. Lucky 19. I’ll get to her next week or the week after.
In ancient Sumeria there was an uprising against the king. The king defeated the rebels but wanted to capture all their leaders, so sent his greatest general to hunt them down.
The remaining rebels had taken refuge in an abandoned step pyramid. Because it was so chilly at night, they lit a fire for warmth. The general saw the smoke coming from the step pyramid and quickly seized the rebels.
And this is how we got the saying “The searching general has determined that smoking ziggurats is hazardous to your stealth.

I think he left in purge of a bunch of long time members back in the day. Dashing Dasher was another who is missed...
Surveys in the Arab world show that people in Saudi Arabia do not like the Flintstones.
But the people in Abu Dhabi do.
