“Swim meat” sounds downright dirty and interesting, like the “do you like it hard or soft” thread. Of course, it’s going to suffer the fate of having vastly more views than replies.

I thought about this afterwards and I’m sure even the most boring-sounding topics listed here would appeal to at least some of the people on this board. As for me, I had to take Economics in college and it was the most painfully, dreadfully boring class I ever endured.
