(Thanks to **stolichnaya** in [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&postid=3115416#post3115416).) Let’s see if anyone wants to play “Threads from a Hat”. A thread topic gets pulled out of the ol’ virtual hat, and anyone who wants to participate jumps in with the funniest thread titles that match the topic. Extra special points (which don’t matter) if the thread is actually a real thread here. Due to the medium we’re using, I’ll actually pull two cards out at first. Let’s start with… 1. Threads that make you hungry and 1. Threads that you wish you hadn’t read while eating lunch. ---

Hey, we need some points here… “Pie” (3.14159withwhippedcream) points to **Zenster** for the recipe thread. Number 2 points to **scout1222** for a link to one of **lieu** ’s threads. An extra bibbeldy-jillion points to **stypticus** for helping keep this thread going, and checking it more often than I. 147 points to **Shadez** for starting the precedent of using the titles of the threads and linking to them too - that’s helpful. And one point each to everyone who’s read this thread! Not that the points matter, but I understand you can save them up for valuable pixels! And for “5. You won’t see that in a school text book”, I think top of the list is any of the "3 words that end in ‘gry’ " threads. _3. Threads that make you go hmm:_ My fantabulous new toy!
