Every time I scroll past Browns Gas for ICE in the Comments on Cecil’s section I think “that seems like a racist way to describe a protest against immigration law enforcement”

For some reason I keep seeing " [Bitcoins; what are you expecting when Charles becomes King?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/britons-what-are-you-expecting-when-charles-becomes-king/957061/4)"

Will Charles abolish the pound and make Bitcoin the official currency of the UK?

I saw “Britons: what are you expecting when Christ becomes King?”

Seemed like more of a GD topic…

I was quickly scrolling through and somehow read

Do You Know Anything About Your Great Grandparents?

As

Do You Know Anything About Your Chess Grandmasters?

Scrolling too quickly I thought I saw “[Huge Fire in the Box](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/huge-fire-in-the-bronx/957488/20)”.

Also, “[What’s your favorite part of a car?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-your-favorite-part-of-a-cat/957520/26)” Which is funny, because as I recall someone else keeps misreading the long running car thread as “What’s the most interesting cat you saw today?”

And today I thought I saw “Feline Facial Stubble”. Actual thread is [Feminine Facial Stubble](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/feminine-facial-stubble/957528/1). I momentarily wondered how a cat would have stubble.

In the UK, is the term “shite” frequently used?

Quite a bit, actually.

Momentarily thought someone was expressing a VERY unpopular sentiment here:

Prince Andrew to lose HRH and military titles – just heartbreaking

The previous three submissions make for a pretty gross “successive thread titles” example. 🙂

I had no idea there was a sport called “cricket rolling.”
