[sub]Note to self: [mentioning boobies](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=2246839&highlight=Boobies#post2246839) is a great way to jump-start a thread. Mission: find other words equally capable of starting a ridiculous conversation on a message board. Will test now.[/sub] Fungus. ---

Maybe fungus sausage, the vegetarian’s delight, but just sausage–nope, won’t get you anywhere close to boobies. ---

Boobies are right up there with Oral sex and TMI threads. Gonna be tough to find something that has that kind of appeal. Sausage? Probably not. ---

And the converse of your statement is true as well, as least as far as the boobies in my acquaintance go. **Happy,** you came close with Kitty, but there’s a synonym that may be more effective.😉 ---

“He who made kittens/Put snakes in the grass” - Jethro Tull, “Bungle in the Jungle”. It seemed appropriate after the last post. Other thread jumpstarter words: Jack Chick banned pictures fetish felch gross (see TMI) semprini? ---

If we’re talking about the power to bring the crowds into a thread, combined with huge numbers of replies (whether on-topic or not), then the following words seem to have quite an effect when sprinkled into a post: GEORGE W.
