I'm thinking about starting a thread, but I have no idea what it should be about.
Any ideas?

6. I can't shake this feeling that it's been done before.
I mean, it's all been done before, but there's something especially redundant about that, in this place, at this time.

3. I think you have started one anyway.
Maybe you could start one about kudzu.

Wow.

8. There's not a really satisfying answer to that.
I actually had to go back and check my join date - November 2003 was a long time ago. I think the screenname was just the first thing that popped into my head on the signup screen. It almost sorta kinda fit my reputation in the dorm I was in at the time for being the anti-war revolutionary for actually going to a handful of anti-war rallies before the Iraq debacle began.

I think I'd change it now, if I had the chance. It implies a combative nature that I don't really have. I'm a coalition builder, not a sniper, you know?

11. I don't think of "combative" when I see your screen name...
Edited on Sun Nov-30-08 12:02 AM by Breeze54
I think of words like ...

"admiration", "patriot", "not afraid to dissent"

All the things I admire! ;)

10. Yeah, those are all really interesting topics...
...but I'm pretty sure they've all been adequately covered, right?

14. No such thing as "adequately covered" in Da Lounge.
We'll run any subject into the ground, beats it sensless, then hit it with the defibrillator and start all over again.:)

16. True.
Not with gasoline and a lit match, as some would prefer, but adequately covered.

12. It should be about thinking about starting a thread
But, you should ask for ideas on what the thread should be about.

:D

13. That would be ridiculous.
Who, in their right mind, would do such a thing?
