Recently the respected Lsura mentioned a number of threads that had almost got started under the Lsura name, except that something (boredom?) set in and prevented an actual posting. Here’s the link.
As the worthy trose pointed out
Well, me of course.
I am SO glad I never actually started the thread “Amish Post Here”.
oooh, I’m respected now, am I? That is just so… I dunno, it’s too damn early. But my mind in it’s less-than-one-cup-of-coffee state thinks it’s something.
I don’t do it very often, but after having 4 or 5 beers[sup]*[/sup] I start thinking I’m incredibly witty and intelligent. It’s usually at those times I think “I should really post…” Thankfully, I don’t, at least I don’t most of the time.
[sup]*[/sup]Yes, yes, I know, I’ve become a bit of a light weight here in my older years.
I’m still embarrassed by the “List Uncomfortable Truths Here” thread. I’m glad I never started the “Rock ‘n’ Roll Songs Not About Sex or Drugs” thread.
I almost started a thread asking whether athletes are born or made. For example, if you took an average amateur athlete and gave him the best coaches, equipment, facilities, etc… and sponsored him so their sport was basically their full-time job, could you turn him/her into a top-level athlete? Or are there innate limitations that would prevent someone from reaching the top unless they are fortunate enough to be born with exceptional genes or innate skill?
It seems like a good question but I’m glad I didn’t post it because I’m sure the thread would spiral into a “blacks are natural athletes/there’s no such thing as race” pissing contest.
I did start a Should You Post Drunk thread while I was drunk. Got lotso views and replies.
I almost started a What Do You Find By The Refrigerator Light?" about midnight snacking at the request of someone else, then decided she should do it herself.
Don’t Post Here! would be a pretty pointless thread, don’tcha think?
“So what do you think of me?”
“Why, if I never saw another NARAL commercial, it would be too soon”
“Sign up for this and I get money!”
“Read my short fiction here!”
“An ode to my latest bowel movement”
I was once sooooooooooooo tempted to start a thread in Great debates called “Will there ever be a cure for Conservatives?”, but figured it’d be bounced to The Pit so fast that it wasn’t worth the effort…
