We all have certain topics that we find irresistable. You see a particular subject is being talked about and it’s like waving a red flag in front of a bull. You can’t let that thread go by without putting your two cents in. Here are mine, in alphabetical order: Abstract Art Animated Movies Atheism Copyright Debates Disneyland Generation X Life in Los Angeles Sushi The Videogame Industry What are yours? ---

Well, this one. 😃 I like to chime on on ones involving birds, ant and general bug dislike, sequential threads, and new apartments. God I’m boring! ---

Indie rock, stupid cat stories, questions on veterinary medicine, atheism and Catholicism, pizza and Audrey Hepburn. If I found a thread combining said topics, I would be happy for hours. ---

Stuff about India, which is rarely on here. Terry pratchett stuff. Star Wars stuff. Much-loved books. Malaria questions. I just realized seltzer water is an irresistable lure because everyone thinks it has sodium and I know it doesn’t. I can’t think of anything else. But I see that half of my choices are cafe society threads. ---

I don’t stray very far from Cafe Society. I like to lurk the debate forum, but I never post 'cause I wouldn’t be able to hold my own and I don’t want to embarrass myself. The only threads that I couldn’t, like, _not_ reply to after having seen would be 80’s music/culture, RPGs, cosplay and picture-whoring. Only the human ones; not cats. The sheer multitude of cat related topics here is kind of creepy. ---

My dream thread would be “Help me write a personal ad that will help me attract a gardener who does puzzles on reality TV.” ---

I can’t pass up “What song is this?” or “Where can I find this song?” threads. If the songs in question are of a certain vintage or older, I can usually identify it and find a place to get a copy. You’ll find me in a lot of old music-type threads, especially if they have to do with collecting (almost no one else here ever talks about collecting…I may be the only serious record archivist on the boards). Unfortunately, I seem to find myself in crappy family threads, because I had one - but so did a number of other folks here. I’d have to think more about it to come up with a list of topics I post on frequently. If I know about something someone is asking, I put my two cents in. ---

Anything involving Steely Dan and I can offer some kind of input. Generally though, I only like to be one of the first ten posting so it looks like I once again, just made the cut. ---
