The twist is it has to be a thread _you_ started. Shameless self-promotion! 😃 Anyway, I’m very fond of [this one](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=244421). It got off on a bit of a false start, but after a bit of clarification, took off like a rocket. I am constantly amazed at Dopers’ ingenuity and creativity. Your turn. ---

You are a wonderful daddy. It kind of ties in with **lieu** ’s specialty, but Ivygirl called me into the bathroom because she thought she started her period.

I had an uninteresting and grammatically incorrect thread title, and I continued to bump the thread. ---
