What kind of "Ask the" threads are you hoping for?

Oh! I’d love for Paul in Saudi to do a thread about what that weird country of Saudi-Arabia is like nowadays, outside of the expat-compounds. Do they still have the religious police walking around, beating with sticks women who show too much of their hair stepping in or ouot of their chauffeur-driven Bentley? How do people cope with every third guy being a Royal Prince?

I’d love to see a “Ask the prison doctor from Minnesota” thread.

Ask the Borderline Personality

Alternatively, “Ask the SO/Parent of a Borderline.” I just find it really compelling.

Ask the BDSM "slave"

A friend of mine (no, really) who has a recent interest in this world has had more than a few people ask to become his personal slave via the Internet. I’d love some insight into this kind of thing and to hear some stories.

Oops! Already done, I see.

I’ve thought about doing an “Ask the convert to Judaism” thread, if anybody’s interested.

Ask the Academic.
[/QUOTE]
There are tons of people on here who could contribute to that. I feel like there’s been an “ask the college professor” but I can’t remember who might have started it.

I’d enjoy an Ask Autolycus’s friend Rob thread.

Of course every question has the same answer…

Ask the person who works in a brewery would be a fun thread.

Swampbear works in a brewery … I’m sure he would be happy to answer questions!

Jahdra had a thread about living in a group home, which is akin to being a foster child. I’ll search for a link.
I’m an expert in just about nothing. Ask the public television writer would be pretty ho-hum. Ask the working mother with a shoe addiction …? :smiley:

[QUOTE=Soul]
I’ve always wanted to see an “Ask the Military Recruiter” thread, as well as an “Ask the Intersex Person” thread. I imagine serious problems with both, though.
[/QUOTE]

We have several current or former recruiters on the boards, and at least one transgendered Doper (male –> female). They’ve all been very forthcoming and frank in the past; I bet we could get threads started if you wanted.

Ask the former group home resident

You haven’t been in a library recently have you?

No one shushes anymore.
[/QUOTE]

I saw some jackass loudly talking on his cell phone in the library yesterday :(.
Where can I sign a petition to reinstate the Global Library Shush Rule?

Oh, also, I’ve been thinking about starting an “Ask the apprentice falconer” thread, but it’s kind of an obscure hobby and I don’t know how many folks would be interested.

Ellen, thank you for the link!

“Ask the Roadie”
[/QUOTE]

Hmm, I have a few friends who were/are roadies (one is doing the American Idol tour right now; one toured with John Hiatt for years, as well as Foreigner and Yngwie Malmsteen and a buncha others), but they aren’t big message board users and I don’t think me playing middleman would work…

too bad - some pretty funny stories that I can’t do justice trying to tell myself…

Ask the woman who loves group sex

I would be interested in this thread if you start it. As tonight is the New Year, it would seem extra appropriate if you started a thread.

Anyone interested in a Ask The Green Republican Thread? I seem to be a rather odd contradiction here.

I’d like to see “Ask the Illegal Alien

I think Swampbear works in a brewery now, although it could just be that he smells like a brewery and I’ve confused the two.

and

if there is an “Ask Jesus” thread, I hope that He has enough sense of humor to title it “What Would Jesus Say?”*

*Or “Ask the Christ Guy”

Ask the travelling backpacker.

Ask the Peace Corps volunteer.

Ask the astronaut.

Ask the time traveller.

Ask the professional model.

These all look like ones that would gain interest. What abby does doesn’t count for the pro model thread.

You’re welcome Shryn.

I would LOVE John Hiatt stories, Wordman. Please press them for details. :slight_smile:
