My threads sink like stones. Why is that?
I did have one which seemed to have flame potential titled "No Sex Threads?",with text saying,"That's news to me." but it was quickly deleted.

1. Too much fiber in yer diet.
Try eating more fats and oils. You'll develop some floaters.

:P

24. Thanks to all who contributed,but not even this one caught fire!
My theory,my threads are too serious,too straightforward so they sink.

11. One time in high school
I wrote a story about a man who violated a supermarket turkey. The literary magazine rejected it.

13. Subit it to the mag I work for.
I'll bet we take it. We did a news story about something very similar once. Only it was a woman.

20. Nah, I bested her quite handily at Rubik's Cube.
Me: 43 seconds.
Her: unable to complete.

Our sex life, mercifully, was nothing like our Rubik's Cube skills.

17. We should have a contest
To come up with a thread subject guaranteed to catch fire.

Off the top of my head:

"Drudge Flash - Nude photos of Condi and Cheney in hotel romp!"

"Ohio Recount - Nader Won!"

"My threads sink like stones. Why is that?"

That last one is weak. Needs work. Any other ideas? We could try them out scientifically.
