Threads that are certain to recur.

You just made my day! Good thing I wasn’t drinking coffee while reading that, or I would have spit it onto the monitor :smiley:

TMI…zit squeezin’/tonsil stone snorkin’

Where’s the center of the universe?

“What’s the perfect food” seems to recur every now and again, in fact there’s one in GQ now.

What are you reading right now?
What are you listening to right now?
What are you watching right now?
What did you eat for breakfast/lunch/dinner/tea/midnight snack?

Almost forgot this one:

“My friend is worried; what size should [del]my[/del] his penis be?”

“Hypothetically, if someone wanted to cheat a drug test, how [del]should I[/del] would they do it, hypothetically? PS this is urgent.”

‘Glass: liquid or solid?’

Dear Strong Bad : How do you type with boxing gloves on?

I’ve got x days in location y. Where do I go/What do I do?

In CS, Simpsons threads come up constantly. LOTR threads had a good run for awhile, too, but they seem to have died down.

Another common CS thread: “Help me identify this song/album/artist”

Unbelievable !!! The very first topic I listed in posting #1 has reared its ugly head again !!!

ARRGGHHHHHH !!!

Now the question must come up: which came first, the returning topic or this thread? I vote for this thread. It reminds me of one of those Polish Proverbs:

Rise to the occasion and the occasion will surely turn up.

In GQ they’re debating whether 12 a.m. is noon or midnight, another hardy perennial which is always good for about 100 posts.

Mars Attacks (again)

That E-Mail really gets around.

And don’t forget
