It’s a place to post thread titles that are found next to each other on the fora listings. Partly because they’re usually funny, partly so that you don’t have to interrupt those threads to tell them that they’re next to a thread that make a funny combo with theirs 🙂

[QUOTE=Swallowed My Cellphone]  
Newbie question: What is this game?

[/QUOTE]  
If you look in the various forum pages (General Questions, In My Humble Opinion, etc.) Sometimes you see a juxtaposition of thread titles that appear to be humorous when read together.

There is almost always a thread in IMHO with some variation of “Sequential Thread Titles” in the header where you can post Sequential Threads that struck you as funny.
