Ladies and Gentlemen. Boys and Girls. Posters and trolls alike......Redjohn and I present to you the finalists in the October 2011 Thread of the Month contest.

On searching for all threads started in October I got 5 pages of results. That's right, 5 pages! Thank you to everybody who posted a thread and contributed. We appreciate you taking the time to contribute here. We were overwhelmed by the number of new threads and, perhaps more importantly, the quality of the threads y'all created.

The threads below were chosen as especially interesting. They exhibited creativity, generated interesting discussion and obviously took a little time to create. That's not to say the other threads weren't good....most of them were (which made choosing the finalists somewhat challenging). But we felt these threads stood out.

Which ever thread gets the most votes will win the prize.

Just as a reminder, here are some of the items the winner will walk away with.
