What's the key ingredient to more buoyant threads?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

Poll question: What's the key ingredient to more buoyant threads?

[Renew Deal]

1. John Kleeb

He makes your threads float.

[ScreamingMeemie]

3. I thought the clown in Stephen King's "IT" did that....

I know...lame, oh so very lame....

[GoddessOfGuinness]

30. You have an excuse...

How're you feeling? All better, I hope?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

7. By posting?

Or is there some beneficent whammy he puts on threads to keep them light and fluffy?

[Renew Deal]

26. Both

That one is blessed.

[LoZoccolo]

2. This is a trick question: sex.

Being the subject of "OK, the fun's over", and being that said thread is tacked, it could be said that "sex" is key to buoyant threads!

[jpgray]

4. Having so little dignity that you self-kick your own vanity threads

Many DUers (including moi) have been guilty of this. I love it when they are righteously shoved back down anyway.

:D

[Lavender Brown]

5. Any kind of bashing works

And, nutmeg. :silly:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

9. Mmm...My favorite spice!

I've been told it has narcotic properties; but I'd think you'd have to consume an awful lot to make anything happen.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

6. Apparently a really stupid and pointless topic

[GoddessOfGuinness]

12. Just like the US Presidency, eh?

Let's hope such trends change...

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

14. Yuppers!

[Richardo]

8. Helium!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

21. If you inject the thread with helium

will it sound like a chipmunk wrote it?

[KitchenWitch]

10. hey where is the copycat choice in the poll

:mad:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

15. Hadn't thought of that...

Sorry... :beer:

[A-Schwarzenegger]

11. Mystery & Angst.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

16. What sort of mystery?

Do you mean topics that make the reader curious enough to enter the thread, or Agatha Christie-like titles?

[A-Schwarzenegger]

18. Some dark alluring ingredient that reaches quick & deep

into the reader's subconscious, like a figure passing
between buildings and glancing their way with fear and
desire in her eyes.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

19. Sounds sexy

Are you sure you don't mean sex?

[A-Schwarzenegger]

24. Extra-sexual longing.

Sex is just one expression of the yearning to lose yourself.
There is a greater need that sex is a part of, something
like a need to surrender to an unknowable force that could
devour you....

Or anything to do with an existential mixed a*i*a*.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

27. Now that's an interesting perspective...

I shall have to ponder that this evening. :beer:

[redqueen]

13. You left off whoisalhedges

Other than that, any comment that goes against the mainstream (e.g. Radiohead sucks, Jimi Hendrix is overrated, etc.)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

22. Who is Al Hedges, anyway?

I've been wondering for years now.

[TXlib]

17. Eureka!

They displace less weight than their surrounding threads.

So, pointless, fluffy threads will prosper, while threads with gravitas will sink!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

20. Since light is less filling,

I would think people would hunger for subject matter of substance, thus lifting the heavier threads from the dregs.

[JVS]

23. Inflammatory content

[nickgutierrez]

25. Flame-tastic thread titles. n/t

[JVS]

28. Tasers, lots of tasers!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

29. bzzzzzzzzzzt

Whatever turns you on...

[TOhioLiberal]

31. A finely tuned sense of outrage... n/t
