The OP says nothing about “no repeats.” They will be inevitable, as this game goes on. Quigley Down Under (1990) ---

[QUOTE=Elendil’s Heir] The OP says nothing about “no repeats.” {snip} [/QUOTE] Maybe not, but **Delores Reborn** posted updated lists a few times “to cut down on repeats” and then the OP followed up with this post: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=10151821&postcount=337](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=10151821&postcount=337). The inference to be drawn is that he, also, was looking to avoid repeats. That said, I’m not going to have a hissy fit if there are repeats, but searching the thread to check to see if a title has been used already is, IMO, good form. (However, I will be a stickler if someone uses a title I submitted previously because I made the effort to search the thread. And because I’m gonna be a jerk about it, I guess. 😃 ) As for “X”, yeah, we’re gonna run need a bigger pool of candidates. I propose allowing TV episode titles for X.
