Ok, I'm pretty sure this has been done before, but I'm drunk as anything (though you wouldn't know from my immaculate typing), and it seemed like a good idea at the time, which was one and a half minutes ago. And it still stands!

I'd love to be able to come up with several examples of my own to get you all started and give the starting of this thread some kind of validation, but alas, I cannot. I can give you only one, though this one has been weighing heavy on my mind for some time:

My Date Rape With JustErin

Supposed to be a spoof of that low-budget movie 'My Date With Drew' where the guy tries to get a date with Drew Barrymore in 30 days, at certain times it seemed like a hilarious idea, playing upon the subject's penchant for abusive love-making and in particular love of being choked. In a clear frame of mind it seemed to be just in bad taste.

So, what threads have you thought about starting, nearly started, even written out almost in full only to close the window or hit 'back' wondering what you were thinking?

2the9s, I understand you may feel somewhat left out of this but I do hope you can at least try to empathise and participate in this threads with positive comments and a good nature. Thank you.

I pretty much thought about starting most of your worse threads, but didn't.

Hypo said:

Excellent! There was a better response basically built in to this thread but you came up with a good one all the same.

Fauxie said:

Sorry fella. I decided not to read the whole post and just stuck with the first bit mainly, you know, the title.

Hypo said:

Oh no, that's no problem. I wouldn't have expected you to read anything other than the title. Goodness, if I actually read threads in full I'd feel so obligated to post something reasoned and worthwhile. Your response was good by its being a response.

God, I wish I hadn't started this thread so that I could start a thread and list it among the threads I thought about starting, but didn't.

Fauxie said:

You could start a second thread entitled 'Threads you thought about starting, but did '

If you're lucky it will perform better than this one won't

Hypo said:

The odds would be with me, but still, I'm a realist.

Fauxie said:

Yes. Yes, you are.

Mine is obvious.

The "show me your member" thread. I thought it would've been kinda tacky.....but those that are willing to participate can send pix through org note.

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

I like how it's 'show me' not 'show us'. A thread would seem superfluous. Just shoot a few appropriately worded orgnotes off and wait for the pics to come in.

I'm the opposite.

I've started threads I didn't give two shits about, and watched the balloon to frightening proportions despite my dismay. Like my "I never tasted my own sperm" thread. That was rank.

Fauxie said:

and to answer the question, I start most threads I think about starting.

Unless they're decent.

In which case, I don't.

So...yeah...anything halfway good or intelligent sounding...is what I didn't start.

edit: now that I think of it, I can't wait to get back on here for good so I can start awful threads on a regular basis again.

naaah

There have been many threads that I wanted to start, but I always change my mind. I'll keep the topics to myself . . .

You've got the 'midass' touch.

Protege said:

co-sign to all of the above

Hey, where have you been?

Protege said:

Is it just me, or does your post get longer and longer everytime I venture into this thread?

Spookymuffin said:

I thought about discussing homophobia in the black community but that could never ever go well

Fauxie said:

The PA I loved in LA was Jewish.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Wasn't there a thread about that last year?

I think I posted on it and got lambasted by someone.

Imago said:

If there was I sure didn't see it.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Yeah, it was last year or something if I recall.

I mentioned on the thread that CNN did an article about the African American communitie's strong general ties to religion and how this was the "edge" Republicans were seeking to pull in more voters. In other words, pander to the communities religious beliefs to gain votes. I never implied that this was a monolithic voting demographic, and even stated that I felt it wasn't. however, it took all of two seconds for someone to get all "angry black man" on my ass.

good times, good times.

Imago said:

Well everyone knows your a hateful asian with no couth

Imago said:

And it is amazing that any black person would vote their own asses under the bus to punish me!

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Well, I think the powers that be fucked up in thinking minorities would be single issues voters. We vote on a wide range of subjects, though 3 or 4 may be the big dollar ones.

Like homosexuals--I doubt all of them are concerned with gay marriage and gay marriage ONLY.
