I want more TMI threads. Seriously. I can’t get enough of them, and sadly TMI is only 3 characters long. ☹ And using (TMI) doesn’t give accurate results because not everyone puts the TMI in parentheses. ---

We need more “Opal learns to use a 1920s style death ray” threads. ---

Our tender bits deserve to be pampered. Especially when we’ve got a case of Taco Butt. 😃 ---

Perhaps I wooshed you, or you have all wooshed me; for I was referring to…hey, look who it is! Hi Opal! ---

**Triagonal Planar** “Hi Opal” Originated due to **Opalcat** ’s dislike of lists with less than three items. This lead to her posting ‘1. The effect of veeblefetzers on the environment 2. The risk inherent in grommishing 3. There is no number three. I just don’t like lists with less than two items.’ Other posters began to include ‘Opal doesn’t like short lists. Hi Opal!’ in their posts. ---

Definately more TMI threads, much more. What the hell else is the internet for? ---

More zit/pimple threads. (For those of you that want more TMI threads, find the zit/pimple thread.) ---

More polyester threads. Remember when polyester was the rage in the 70s? Man, those were the days. ---

Yes I do. Though, being born in 75, I was too young to participate. Fortunately, I’ve inherited several leisure suits over the years. I’m not sure if they still fit though. And sadly the matching two-tone boots never did. Ah well ---

I think we need more threads that enrage the “Thread Police”. You know the sort of thread that doesn’t quite get a Mod’s attention…but some Thread Nazi just BLAZES the poster with something like: “You F@##ing embecile, this was covered [HERE](http://www.fakelink.com) LAST YEAR!! Post something original!” ---

> [@flamingbananas](#): > > Flamingpenuins, which is from a daydream I had about a flaming penguin running around the Artic. Well, this poor penguin was probably self-immolating him/herself because he/she was thousands of miles away from his/her home in the **Antarctic** , or possibly the extreme southern tip of Chile, Argentina, or even Australia. Or the Bronx Zoo. Or any zoo, really. Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah, this board needs more pedantic losers who mercilessly nitpick other Dopers’ posts … 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/we-need-more-_____-threads/253466.md?page=1)
