No, the most annoying threads were the fucking baseball threads when the World Series was going on. Jesus Christ.. if a pitcher threw a strike, there would be a thread on it. Hell, I didn't even need to watch the game, I had my own little announcers here on TW.
Also, the shaving balls threads are funny. But, if you aren't getting laid, I doubt shaving your balls will help you that much.
Desktop threads are annoying, especially if you're on a modem. Plus, whenever someone posts a cool desktop and people are like "that's neat, how did you do that?" and then the other guy never responds. It's like the ultimate e-penis thread.
