| OP here, I've got work to do today. But I'll keep organizing them and posting them as I find them. |

| OP - if you're taking suggestions, bouquet bride and the ask v. axe as said by a teacher were great. |

| OP, THANK YOU! People bring up these threads all the time but without the links, it's just part of the folklore (and I don't read all the boards, just a few, so sometimes only read references and the way the search function works it can be hard with all the references to corn, for example, to find the original post). This is awesome as a summary (you ARE really good at them) AND providing the original link. Perfection! |

| The "I smell like placenta" thread has got to be my all-time favorite. |

(12) DC Urban Moms Farce
Abstract: Though by page 25, the thread probably had reached its logical end (it went on for another 30+ pages), the first dozen pages give a great (and funny) overview of the mundane concerns, insane obsessions, and major battle that define DCUM. http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/18314.page |

(13) Bouquet Bride
Abstract: Bride writes a public plea for the person who took her bridal bouquet from her table to return it to her. Somehow, this creates an increasing firestorm of criticism, largely fueled by the fact that the bride defensively responded to almost every single post. The thread hits its stride when posters begin to speculate if OP is schizophrenic or Mexican, and highlights the largely-unknown divide among DCUM readers as to the value of bridal bouquets. http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/65786.page |

(14) I smell like placenta
Abstract: Pregnant woman convinced she smells like amniotic fluid. Half the thread is peppered with arguments about (1) whether placenta even has a smell, and (2) if so, what that smell is, but thread highlight comes when one poster reveals she has a placenta stuffed in her freezer. http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/166822.page |

(15) I haven’t “gone” in a week
Abstract: Pregnant woman is constipated and naturally looks to DCUM for some help. What starts as a simple quest for advice about laxatives and fiber turns into a farce when OP begins to give graphic hourly updates. High point of thread occurs when OP suggests she’ll have to take a suppository at the office, which launches a tangential discussion of clogged toilets. http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/86789.page |

This has to be the one whose teenage daughter doesn't flush the toilet so she has to go in there and do it for her and while she's at it, she inspects the stool (and it looks weird, should she call the doctor?) |

(16) Would you let your daughter have long scraggly hair? Abstract: OP comes out fighting against scraggly haired ragamuffins and their Chico clothes-wearing bi-level haircut moms. Probably trolling, but inspirational nonetheless, with useful commentary on toddler pageants and monogrammed rompers. As in many other funny threads, Chico’s makes a cameo in its recurring role as clothing store for the 40-something mom whose lost all motivation for looking feminine. http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/111295.page |
