It’s not like I’m new here, so I should know better, but upon landing on the Main SDMB page just now, for a split second my brain read “Elections” as “Erections.”

1. What does this mean for me?
2. What might be some thread titles in such a forum if such a forum existed?
3. What is the likelihood of the SDMB administration adding a forum called “Erections” sometime in the near future?  
Thank you.

1. Is 5.99999 . . . inches equal to 6 inches?
2. If you had an erection on a treadmill, could you get it on?
3. I only had an erection once, in 1960, for 20 minutes.

Why is this erection so close?

Is it too early to say Romney has one?

Colin Powell endorses Obama for re-erection

Could Hurricane Sandy actually sway the erection?

Hey, it wouldn’t have to be moderated by you. I’d settle for a TubaDiva or a RickJay, or even a Marley23. All’s I know is that a moderator with a heavy hand would have to work Erections-- oftentimes quick, with a gentle touch when necessary. Come to think of it, if handled properly, I could see a lot of stickies coming out of Erections.
