The august John DiFool has suggested a fun variation on my original idea that that folks are welcome to try: That the last poster put in a title-without describing it (instead he describes the previous one by the previous poster).

OK, my idea, so I’ll put in a title and be the straight man:
A Hard Day’s Night.
