Threads You Almost Started, But Didn't
Am I the only person who gets the parameters of a new thread all typed in, and then goes "Ummm...nah!" just before clicking the "Submit New Thread" button?
My latest near-miss was "Which AG Regular Reminds You Of Yourself", but fortunately it occurred to me just in time that such a topic might ignite a bitter and nasty flame war. So, does anyone else change their mind at the last minute? If so, what are some "Threads That Never Were"? ScottMate

I was going to do one about this conflict i've been having within myself dealing with old friends from high school, and how it's hard facing them considering most of them have become white trash, dropped out of college, spend every day drunk and stoned and have done nothing with their lives while i've gone to college and started a solid relationship with a gal, but I figured it would be too much soul bearing.
I also was going to start one on the saddest movie ever, but I figured it had been done recently, so I decided against it. I was going to say The Elephant Man. |

I almost submitted the fact that I accidentally impaled my right kneecap on the wrong end of a woodscrew today at work
(But now I've posted it, so there!) |

I can't say as I've done it for new topics, but I have certainly done it for replies - got all set to submit, and said, Nah, and exited out.

Gawd damn, tabsie! Take it easy, man. If only I lived near ya, I'd make ya a nice cheese souffle with green salad and homemade lemon vinaigrette and a bottle of Pinot, and pistachio gelato after, to ease the pain.
Well, all that wouldn't ease the pain but it's a good excuse as any to eat good, eh?

I do the almost-made-a-thread thing all the time. I was thinking of making The Science Fiction thread, then decided it might be too nerdy for all the cool cats here.

Lest anyone think I consider myself anything less than the biggest nerd who ever walked geekily on two legs, I direct your attention to my last post in the "Who Are You" thread. If that doesn't insure my nomination for the Stephen Q. Urkel Award this year, nothing will. ScottMate

Let's not forget that I got the "Geek Award of the Century". By the way, did you know that originally, a geek was a carnival performer who bit the heads off chickens? -

Hehe I've done that loads of times - I find a really interesting thread, get my reply ready, and then decide to check the earlier listings 9 out of 10 times my opinion has already been posted I guess that's why my post count is so low |
