I have invented a game for us to play but it only works if it’s a thread that **very** few people would ever click on because of the subject. It should be MPSIMS material, e.g. “I love my Dell laptop.” or something along those lines. The only reason I’m asking for suggestions is that I’m having trouble thinking of one. “I’m off to take a dump” got more views than I thought it would, ya know? It can’t be so stupid that people would open it just to shame you like “The plastic thing on my desk is black” although now that I think of it that actually might be a good one. Any suggestions? ---

“Wesley Crusher FANS ONLY- discussion” “Uses for dryer lint- any suggestions?” Man, this is hard. Every one I think of, I’m sure someone would have at least a negative comment. ---

You know i think it has more to do with the person starting it. Most every topic I start dies an unnatural lonely death, no matter what the subject. ---

\*\*The dream I had last night \*\* (dream descriptions are unique. They are the one thing that can be incredibly interesting to the dreamer, and incredibly boring to the reader) Incedentally, one of the many dreams I had last night and previous nights -(I am much younger in this dream) A couple of girls arrive. one (who feels like a friend to me) says “that girl over there likes you”, I look. she’s average. I look at the girl that spoke to me and say (with a hint of honesty) “you are far nicer than all those girls. I like you better”. The glint of apreciation in her eyes after that comment is my fave moment in that dream. **Upgrading Motherboard and CPU. opinions please** ---

(Pity me.) If the going gets tough here, be forewarned that I have many other accounting subjects at my disposal. **Radius** - ambit, compass, extension, extent, orbit, purview, reach, scope, sweep - none of those words quite capture the essence of the radius, me thinks. ---
