Thread starting challenge

Cloud · 05-14-2007, 03:06 PM

Okay, Busters and Busterettes:

I CHALLENGE you to start a new thread--with the following conditions:

1) It must include a link to another web page or site.
2) You must state why this link is interesting to you, why you think it might be interesting to us, or a pertinent opinion.
3) You must provide the readership with a question regarding the link to elicit discussion.

It can be any forum, serious or funny. There's no reward or penalty for the challenge ('cause I can't really think of any), so if you don't want to--no skin. Just . . .

I DARE YA!

You ask for too much! How the hell am I supposed to meet these demands? Not even this post meets any of the requirements! :p

Cloud · 05-14-2007, 03:19 PM

Oh, I'm exempt, 'cause it was my idea (hee!). Besides, how do you know I haven't complied? 'Cause, you know--it would be a new thread.

Not all of us can be perfect, FoxyLady.* Just do the best you can.

*are you a girl kitsune? I thought they were all female, but I just realized I might be wrong (gasp!)

Nope -- common mistake. One I hope is only a problem in this medium.

I hope.

Cloud · 05-14-2007, 03:26 PM

my humble apologies, Sir Fox. I think all the kitsunes I've stumbled across have been female.

Sounds like good news to me!

I'm going to avoid starting any threads for now. I've had bad luck, lately.

Cloud · 05-14-2007, 03:42 PM

well, depends on how you measure thread success. if you measure success by spirited discussions, stirring up controversy, and lots of heat, which I think lots of people do here, well then---

I consider my threads successful if they get a few answers, which don't include calling me stupid or asshole, or the equivalent.

Did you by chance see the smilie at end of post? Guess not. I've not called you any names. Yet! But

I'll give it some thought, later

Cloud · 05-14-2007, 05:20 PM

oh, no--that wasn't directed you, or at anyone in particular

Urbane Guerrilla · 05-14-2007, 08:49 PM

Though it may start a fashion for calling Cellarites "equivalents."

Well if not at me I guess it was a scatter shot. Hit by collateral fire? Or perhaps friendly fire?

Cloud · 05-14-2007, 10:35 PM

ooo, no, just a coincidental, generic-type "buster," Buster.

I'm so sorry you're not feeling well--would you like a cough drop, LJ? Here, I've got one in my purse (digs. digs some more). Okay, well . . . it's a little linty, but when you're sick, you're sick!

lookout123 · 05-14-2007, 11:02 PM

you know, the overwhelming number of pointless threads is one of the reasons i don't spend that much time here anymore. It just takes too much energy to wade through all the fluff to find something entertaining.

not that you care.
