18. I'll never forget one on election night 2006

As soon as I saw that exit polling pushed Webb over the top-- which was the breaking point for Dems regaining the Senate-- I posted a celebratory OP. Instead of anyone cheering with me, three or four people immediately attacked me for premature ejaculation. (In the sense that the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew "ejaculated" remarks of an enthusiastic nature.) A few minutes later a member of the in crowd posted the same damn news and got high fives from everyone!
