What is your favorite Motte post ever?

I'm curious about not just what your favorite post is, but also what you think is the GOAT, or perhaps what you think is most illustrative and representative of this space (e.g. what would you show someone to get them intrigued). Please limit your post to only ONE pick and briefly explain why you chose it. This can be from anywhere within the Motte's history thus far, and r/TheThread is a good place to check in case you're having trouble finding something. Asking for a friend.

I remember a commenter on the Pumpkin Person blog once identified him as an American grad student who sometimes publishes with Emil Kirkegaard. I wonder if it was true. Didn't he say he was 7 feet tall and from Lichtenstein?
