I haven't seen a thread about ass zits yet.
I don't recall a thread about how stupid 40 year olds look with braces.
Nor can I call to mind a thread about the best way to pick an escort agency.
Creative uses for wine corks?
Exactly how much tea is there in China?
And my "..." habit definitely deserves a pit thread at some point.
There are lots of ideas left, you're just being grumpy.

You're obviously not using the search function correctly.

There once was a fellow named Cynic
Who thought he had a new gimmick.
The thread was erected
But he never expected
A piss-poor, badly rhymed lim'rick.

ok.. where was i?
Exactly how much tea is there in China?
2453 gallons. minus the half cup i had this morning
What order do you brush your teeth in?

What changes would you make in the order of the alphabet if you had the power?
i'd get rid of the s. it's too commonplace.
Are laundramat employees selling socks on the side?

Has anyone here actually felched a goat?
Or a thread entitled:

Wouldn't you measure tea in pounds instead of gallons?

Do you mean trouser or dental braces?
Wouldn't you measure tea in pounds instead of gallons?
Depends if you're talking about 'made-up' tea or just leaves... in any case, I usually measure tea in bags.
What changes would you make in the order of the alphabet if you had the power?
I would add a new letter -using a symbol that con only be described as a 'splut', which would be pronounced 'zq'
What order do you brush your teeth in?
Hmmm, tricky one.... I think I start with the outsides of the molars, then incisors/canines, then move on to the insides of molars etc.... but I'd have to go and brush my teeth now to be sure, and i don't have a toothbrush at work.....

You guys missed the point. It's not changes in the content of the alphabet (that topic would almost make sense) it's changes in the order. For example, I propose we move the letter W to fourth place. I figure we have to keep ABC and XYZ in their current spots. But "W" should be moved up in honor of George Washington. I also think we should break up the LMNO series; its current grouping encourages poor speech habits when people pronounce it as one word. And Q's pretty much a useless letter; let's put in in the back with the other "also-rans".

Hmmm... so you're saying the ENGLISH alphabet should honour George Washington, 'cos he was really keen on England.....
Why not re-arrange in usage-order, so:

I once did a "Haunted Thread" which made threadspotting and the link said something to the effect of "I can't believe no one's thought of this before." Although that was a year ago. And my only unique one I ever had. In it Byzantine called my idea stupid and I totally wussed out on it too. I thought of a great comeback a few days later too "Oh my god, it's got her!" Wow, that feels good to say that.
Hmm, but I can do better. Let me think of a second one.

"Proof the banana holds the secret to the meaning of life"
Think about it. It comes in a convenient carrying case. It's soft and mooshy on the inside. Not only can you get others to slip on it but it's the perfect shape for making amusing sexual observations. And if you don't do anything with it in a few days it goes bad. It's so obvious. The banana is life, life is the banana.

The question I have always wanted answered. If everybody on earth farted at the exact same time, how much bigger would the atmosphere of earth grow?

Why does this cause an image to rise up in my mind of a huge Bic lighter?
