Coming up with new FAC thread ideas doesn't get any easier. I've decided today not to bother even trying. Why expend the effort? We all need a break once in a while and I'm perfectly happy letting the ol' autopilot handle my affairs this morning. So….
[Insert general observation about some common phenomenon or object the majority of people will have personal experience or familiarity with. Include one self-effacing comment, while using stilted vocabulary and exhibit no apparent awareness of the inherent irony. Take a more or less neutral view on topic]
[Pose open-ended question such that it invites posters to respond with either a humorous remark or profound insight/observation]
[Include poll]

what was said above

Ask slightly controversial political question with a notable right leaning viewpoint on the topic as a way to spur pubic discussion about topic. Make sure to attack the person’s statement and not the person themselves... unless they are just being stupid.
 
Disagree with Mskis remarks. Take a personal jab and make certain to point out humorous typo
 
A rabbi, a priest, and a dental hygenist walk into a bar.......

[insert 'tongue stuck out" smiley here}
 
Make comment about Freud and his theory and give 14 links to back my thoughts on the topic.

Mention conversation topic regarding related subject to further justify statement in a self help Tony Robbins style format.

Get back on topic by providing an extended multi-paragraph detailed description of a personal life experience explaining your poll choice.

Then add an apology for long windedness.
 
Post response indicating you don't care one way or the other while suggesting those who do care are stupid.
 
Post response that somehow attempts to link the topic to Dave Ramsey, no matter how seemingly irrelevent it seems. Bonus points if it attempts to relate to the Walmart business model.
 
Read the thread while thinking I'm so above all of this, yet continue to read it throughout the days to see whats been posted
 
[Post comments continuing to vector thread off-topic]

[observe Sam's law invoked]

[make vague attempt to bring thread back on topic, while incorporating clever wittticism)
 
Post response that somehow attempts to link the topic to Dave Ramsey, no matter how seemingly irrelevent it seems. Bonus points if it attempts to relate to the Walmart business model.

Insert a range of happy smiley faces in response to Dave Ramsey!

Post several lines of disjoined thoughts in response to mendelman's post noting how it is all related to sociological changes of liberalism.

note that your happy that RJ did not mention his pool.
 
No no no.....

Keep it inane.....

Ask something like What is your favorite watch? or Shoes? or suit for men and type of bathing suit for women (2 peice vs. one piece....discuss...) :r:
 
Well, you won't find it back home in Buffalo, yet it's common in every other city in the country.

Beer.
 
[Reference Flying Monkey's crude humor remarks and try to turn topic in a more serious direction and attempt to draw more input from female Cyburbians ]

[Remark how poll responses are not going in direction originally anticipated ]
 
Vaguely address original post. Roll eyes. Reference beer and/or baseball.

Well, you won't find it back home in Buffalo, yet it's common in every other city in the country.

Make fun of Buffalo and/or Yankees.
 
Start thread with scathing, flaming remark referencing a non-existent previous post.

Moderator note:

[provide a general chastising statement that reminds people to play nicely and that participation here is not a right granted by the United States Constitution, so quit the "freedom of speech" whining]

Respond with comment that attempts to make me look smarter than everyone else.

Follow it up with a question that again attempts to make me look smarter than everyone else.

Finish with a comment that would be offensive to most people, but end it with a winking smiley face.
 
Announce my poll choice and add nothing else to the discussion
Obvious post pad to boost my count...lookout clubbe here I come [wink smiley][tongue smiley][devil smiley][beer smiley]

BTW what does STAN think or say about this ?
