<a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showuser=11434' target='_blank'>Smart_Bomb</a> and his title are easy to find, but I think that the origional thread might be hidden away from view.
I can find his return thread, but not the HWOF thread, lemme go look again

I recall it got locked, and then In most likely hood zunni nuked it when he was reorganizing S & I, but NSF never deletes stuff unless it's unwarented, so if you guys really want to find it PM'ing Nem0 is the way to go
It was basically SB giving a lot of stupid ideas, and an alien lifeform (that looked like a scorpion) that hovered without flapping was one of them. I can't honestly remember whether SB was actually just dim or if he was pretending.
Basically, he gave a big long list of really silly suggestions, made even more humorous by his overall lack of proper spelling and grammar. The catchphrase from the post was a suggestion that the Kharaa get a scorpion that "hovers" without flapping.

It's a pretty common misconception. He did not say a scorpion that hovers without flapping. He said a scorpion OR SOMETHING that hovers without flapping.

Venmoch is the one who knows to much about tentacle pr0n
smart bomb's post was a long list of very bad ideas
the scorpion that hovers with out flaping
the equivilent of barnacles and some other bad ideas.
basicaly it was "This is how NOT to make a thread in S&I" (and yes, when he posted it was still S&I)
There are ALOT of silly injokes in ever comunity, this is no exeption.
free dome loaf is another (was a very well done joke, that got ruined and then officaly burried)
badkarma's death will probably be added
MonsE's hatred of sunyD drinking kids is another.
there are many instances.
just stick around and you will learn of many new ones that always come up <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

~edit~
Sent PM but I don't think he's going to answer. I've never seen a guy named smartbomb around here.
I can find his return thread, but not the HWOF thread, lemme go look again
Outside of a interesting name for a server and two pluggins I don't like (self-weld & no-onos) Don't really see any joke.
Well if you can't find it that'll be fine, maybe it was deleted. I'm not going to force anyone to retell a joke if they don't want to.
