I have tried to search on this, but find my SDMB search-fu to be sorely lacking - since the words “ask” and “the” get filtered out as too common, I don’t know how to check how many “ask the” threads there have been…
So if there are one or more threads like this out there, please forgive me and mods, shut this thread down…
So, without further ado:
If you were to start an “Ask the…” thread - what would it be on?
When I was filling out the thread on the SDMB Community Poll, I realized that I may be relatively uncommon on the thread in that I am an executive for my company - report to the CEO, attend Board of Directors meetings, yada yada yada. So I suppose one I might consider would be “ask the executive” in case some Dopers out there want to ask questions of an exec-type in a relatively safe environment. Having said that, I fear that putting myself out there as an executive would come across as snooty (NOT my intent), or, even worse, no one would want to “ask the executive” thankyouverymuch - either way, it could end up a bad thing, so I refrain and instead come at the topic from this angle.
So - how about you? What do you think your “ask the…” thread might be about?
Mine would probably be “Ask the Incredibly Handsome, Brilliant, Well-Endowed Guy”
I keep it to myself for fear of becoming too inaccessible to my readers.
Of all the things I’ve done in my life, those two years living with 60 women in a Berkeley sorority still get the most inquiries (and that was almost 30 years ago).
Ask the Formerly Really Fat Woman What It’s Like to Lose 152 Pounds And Still Be Considered a Freak at 5’10" and Size 14
Ask The Woman Who Went Into Victoria’s Secret Yesterday Only To Be Told In Hushed, Shocked Tones That Size 42D Bras Are Only Available On-Line Or In The Catalogue And Never In The Store For Some Nebulous Reason
Well, I already did one about my extensive knowledge about Futurama, but I could do more:
Ask the guy who grew up in Vermont.
Ask the biomedical technician. (I wager most questions will be along the lines of “what the Hell is a biomedical technician.”)
Ask the guy who lived in the coldest city in the lower 48 states.
I believe Idle Thoughts compiled a list of these threads fairly recently - I haven’t time right now, but you may want to search through his (?) threads - should turn it up.
