Forget ‘Sequential Thread Titles’; this is much more sublime. It happened a while ago. I was looking in ATMB when I came across a thread titled [Are Banned People Allowed a Last Post?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=93621). It was posted by **Speaker for the Dead**. I thought to myself, “self,” (because you always use ‘self’ when thinking or talking to yourself) “that’s a really cool thread title/OP combo.” I let it go. Later I see **Aha** ’s contribution, [Ever Shit Your Pants?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=73517) and smile, thinking that “Aha!” is possibly what one might say if one became “in that situation.” Still later, **lucwarm** asks the General Question: [Should I get a new furnace?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=87630) I figure, I gotta write this down. Very recently, notice the interesting thread title/OP combo of [Dumping by Phone: Heinous or Not?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=93454) by **Hello Again**. Now I figure I gotta share this with y’all. I’ve also noticed: [Read this and pray](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=88578) by **Dark Lord Davidson** (a Dark Lord wants me to pray?), [Somebody put me out of my misery](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=90678) by **Anal Scurvy** (As if no one ever considered Anal Scurvy as misery), and the wonderful juxtaposition of [Proud to be a Mets fan](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=88639) by **Meek**. (but not too meek) That’s all – unless you’ve found any… ---

You missed **How do I keep my room from smelling like me** , also by Anal Scurvy.I think he (she?) just has a good name for this game. And someone posted to one of my threads because he read it as “Are people who jump out of buildings… mischievous?” ---

Or even something not quite so obvious, like a thread asking about insomniacs, or about the economic situation in South America… ---

I found this one slightly amusing : **Superman was Kal-El, his dad was Jor-El, what was his Mom’s name?** – Amazing Magic-Gro Monster I saw this combination in GQ. I first saw **Can I freeze milk?** by SHAKES, which is pretty good. But then I noticed the thread right above it, which formed this : ```auto sitcom vanilla Can I freeze milk? SHAKES ```
