This is place for all those "missed it" snippets that you want to share.

The live show thread especially moves so fast that some gems get lost, so let them shine here.
Also suitable for those of a nervous dispostion who wisely avoid the Non-Appreciation thread.

If you want to respond to the original post, it's best to follow the link to its home thread rather than commenting here.
Feel free to add some helpful context notes

I'll start off with this, musing on the idea of a Strictly / Great British Bake off special

Richard can do a mega-macho paso with Natalie where both have hugely prominent pencils behind their ears.

Ruby can do a "Screw you Paul Hollywood" rumba with Aliona.

Brendan can do disco with Janette.

Howard can do a melancholy tango with Erin.

Nancy can do a "Matt di Angelo tribute" foxtrot with Anton where she gets bored halfway through and sits on the steps flipping the Vs at Len.

Ugne can do a "Kristina special" Argentine Tango with Kevin and terrify the effing bejaysus out of him.”

I like him, but wtf am I doing here is written all over his face.”

Clearly thought he was getting a few shifts at Starbucks

This from An Thropoligist in the When will Carol leave thread:

Then suddenly in the crowd someone shouts "OMG Its SCD and we need to vote for Lulu" "Anyone got a phone?"

A wave of horror ripples through the crowd as they (all 5 million of them) realise they have all forgotten their phones. They all pat their pockets and rummage though hand bags in a state of national panic. But it is in vain. Lulu is no more. A nation weeps. ”

From the IKEA catalogue thread:

This seemingly innocuous looking, high functioning item has provoked extreme reaction from some customers who have discovered that it has been cobbled together from parts from a turbo hand dryer, a Firbimatic dry cleaning machine and an industrial strength extractor fan - all parts that are no stranger to the drying process.

Quite why this revelation should have provoked such consternation is still a bit of a mystery as the product remains an unobjectionable looking, phenomenally high performing appliance. However, further research has unearthed that those objecting to the DÏRTÏ WRÏNGÅ often tend to be big fans of the JURNÏCØNTSTÅNT range, despite the fact that items from this range tend to perform sporadically. That is, they are great dealing with a suit or formal dress but function far less well when given a lace mantilla or vice versa.

That said, we do not wish it thought that we do not take any customer complaints seriously and anyone initially disappointed with the DÏRTÏ WRÏNGÅ can have their appliance replaced by one from this year's JURNÏCØNTSTÅNT range.

We recommend the RÅÅNÏ which has so far shown commendable versatility. Just don't blame us if you try to dry your Samba dress in it and all the feathers come off and jam the mechanism.”

This post from the Non-Appreciation Thread made me laugh out loud

You know it must be so annoying knowing yourself to be a huge ringer, even teaching dance, to go on a show, being with whom you beleive to be a popular pro, doing what what you thought was going to be the most crowd pleasing dance of the evening..........

And then somebody danced better, is more popular with the studio audience, gets better scores and judges comments and you have to look pleased about it whilst wearing 2 buns on your head and a dress designed to show off your bandy legs.

Care to elaborate?

I don't know what thread and in what context the rabbit hole appears.
