Friday Threads

Instead of having a Friday thread this week can we have posts listing previous Friday threads so that we don't have to have them again, and suggestions for Friday threads that we haven't had yet, so that if a Friday comes along where no-one has begun a Friday thread we have one ready to be started.

Pep (Of course, if people suggest "new" threads that actually have already been discussed they should be identified and deleted from the valid suggestions list)

I will start the list off myself.

"Is it cheating?"
"Aren't men horrible?"

As well as anything started by Jig or Porky/Stallion

Pep (Oh, and threads about Friday threads)

Nobody ever notices me. (T_T)

Immy (Or am I flying just under the radar? =^-^= )

Is that an old thread or a suggestion for a new one?

Pep (Generally, or you specifically, Immy?)

Apropos nothing in particular: I wish there were a wiki page of all the alts we're actually supposed to know about. For example, I'm pretty sure that everybody posting in the Neverending thread knows everybody else's "public" alts. But somehow I immediately repress this information the moment somebody tells me. But then I feel rude for not knowing the main-to-alt(s) mappings: it appears that I'm not paying attention. Which is only half true. I mean, I'm intensely interested when people volunteer the info, but within a few seconds I've forgotten it completely. It's like I have an "alt filter" in my hippocampus.

(Heh. I said "hippo."

Yes. =^-^=

Immy (...And no. But mostly yes. (^_^)y)

If it helps,I never post on my alts. They are not allowed to speak.

Would it take an eDNA test? (O.o)

Yuu (Because you can only tell an eTwin by all the freebies she wears. =^-^= )

I think this should have been posted as a poll. You could then use it to earn a degree.

Like this: http://www.dame-edna.com/questions.htm ?

Thank you Immy. I *knew* you would help satisfy my continuing thirst for ambiguity and associated concepts.

Pep (A girl walked into a bar and asked the barman for a cocktail called an "Innuendo", so he gave her one)

More degrees would mess up my business card, which I have already optimised.

My rl name is Anthony Black, I have a Master of Arts, and I also have a Masters in Business Administration.

Pep (aka A BLACK MAMBA)

Happy to be of service. I shoot to kil... aim to please. (^_^;y

Immy (Who is currently trying to conceal the derringer a bit better. (^_^) )

Nor me.

Pep (And as Roger Moore once said when asked if he did all his own stunts as James Bond "Yes, and I tell all my own lies as well"

Not even close. The best friday threads were those that came out of nowhere, by people without a posting history, usually ranting about some injustice they were the victim of or a soap box sermon denoting the evils of a given activity/fetish/ lifestyle in SL. They are usually meant to be serious discussions, at least in the mind of the OP. Jig's threads don't work as they may be annoying to some, the questions are usually well thought and somewhat interesting, the discussion gets heated at times, but the thread bever sinks to true Friday heights. A thread such as Stallion's doesn't qualify as it is an obvious plant. You can't intentionally make a true Friday thread, it just has to happen.

Do you think this thread will help people notice you?

Pep (Yuu 2?)

Damn! I thought I covered that with "Aren't men horrible?"

Pep (I must have missed that bit)

/me adds one more name on her "They noticed me" list. =^-^=

Immy (... And shoves Yuu back down in the basement! (>_< )

/me noticed Immy a long time ago . . .

Pep (. . . just scared to talk to her)

Mine either. They just play Tiny Empires...lol

I don't even log my alts in anymore. No reason to now,they were all made for business/permission/photo reasons. Though I should make a new one,pretend to be new to SL and live vicariously through her....rawr.

I have to check out that tiny empires.

Yay, finally I get the recongnition I deserve. About bloody time too.

Pep (Anything by you is taboo)

I best remember the "Miss Manners" thread.

Pep, you could make an alt just for the additional degrees. C'mon! Life-long learning!

Last time I tried to read something I got a message flash up in front of my eyes saying "Can't save. Brain full! Delete information and try again"

Pep (I know when I have drunk too much as well - it dribbles out of the side of my mouth)
