What's the key ingredient to more buoyant threads?

1. John Kleeb

He makes your threads float.

[ScreamingMeemie]

3. I thought the clown in Stephen King's "IT" did that....

I know...lame, oh so very lame....

[GoddessOfGuinness]

30. You have an excuse...

How're you feeling? All better, I hope?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

7. By posting?

Or is there some beneficent whammy he puts on threads to keep them light and fluffy?

[Renew Deal]

26. Both

That one is blessed.

[LoZoccolo]

2. This is a trick question: sex.

Being the subject of "OK, the fun's over", and being that said thread is tacked, it could be said that "sex" is key to buoyant threads!

4. Having so little dignity that you self-kick your own vanity threads

Many DUers (including moi) have been guilty of this. I love it when they are righteously shoved back down anyway.

:D

[Lavender Brown]

5. Any kind of bashing works

And, nutmeg. :silly:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

9. Mmm...My favorite spice!

I've been told it has narcotic properties; but I'd think you'd have to consume an awful lot to make anything happen.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

6. Apparently a really stupid and pointless topic

[GoddessOfGuinness]

12. Just like the US Presidency, eh?

Let's hope such trends change...

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

14. Yuppers!

[Richardo]

8. Helium!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

21. If you inject the thread with helium

will it sound like a chipmunk wrote it?

[KitchenWitch]

10. hey where is the copycat choice in the poll

:mad:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

15. Hadn't thought of that...

Sorry... :beer:

[A-Schwarzenegger]

11. Mystery & Angst.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

16. What sort of mystery?

Do you mean topics that make the reader curious enough to enter the thread, or Agatha Christie-like titles?

[A-Schwarzenegger]

18. Some dark alluring ingredient that reaches quick & deep

into the reader's subconscious, like a figure passing
between buildings and glancing their way with fear and
desire in her eyes.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

19. Sounds sexy

Are you sure you don't mean sex?

[A-Schwarzenegger]

24. Extra-sexual longing.

Sex is just one expression of the yearning to lose yourself.
There is a greater need that sex is a part of, something
like a need to surrender to an unknowable force that could
devour you....

Or anything to do with an existential mixed a*i*a*.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

27. Now that's an interesting perspective...

I shall have to ponder that this evening. :beer:

[redqueen]

13. You left off whoisalhedges

Other than that, any comment that goes against the mainstream (e.g. Radiohead sucks, Jimi Hendrix is overrated, etc.)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

22. Who is Al Hedges, anyway?

I've been wondering for years now.

[TXlib]

17. Eureka!

They displace less weight than their surrounding threads.

So, pointless, fluffy threads will prosper, while threads with gravitas will sink!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

20. Since light is less filling,

I would think people would hunger for subject matter of substance, thus lifting the heavier threads from the dregs.

[JVS]

23. Inflammatory content

[nickgutierrez]

25. Flame-tastic thread titles. n/t

[JVS]

28. Tasers, lots of tasers!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

29. bzzzzzzzzzzt

Whatever turns you on...

[TOhioLiberal]

31. A finely tuned sense of outrage... n/t
