This is just asking for Kristine to frown at us.

I don't think I could take that.

Pinochle!!!

(good enough? more titleishness?)
 
Posted by fallow (Member # 6268) on :

Posted by fallow (Member # 6268) on :

You can change the title when you edit your initial post (click on the little pen and paper icon above the post).

Great minds... [Smile]

Or you could do "Cars" and link to the lemon laws state-by-state.
 
Posted by Danzig (Member # 4704) on :
 
Well, Hatrack, books, raising good children, generally being nice people.... you are incorrect.
 
Posted by fallow (Member # 6268) on :
 
better title?

I'd hate to use "lemon" in this context.
 
Posted by fallow (Member # 6268) on :

PS "38"

See, now you made Dog cry.
 
Posted by Danzig (Member # 4704) on :
 
Well, basically the title.

I recommend "Cards...what are they good for...cerebral RUSHING." but that's just me.
 
Posted by fallow (Member # 6268) on :
 
Pinochle anyone?

fallow...

Sheesh!

Maybe this will help...think of this as a giant living room where you've been invited in by your hosts...the "Cards."

I know they have fine senses of humor but still...

Also...Dobies should be done well or not at all. We get so many of them that are just unfunny, you know? But at least TRY...you need a link in there that goes to a picture or an odd-ball website that somehow makes people laugh at the juxtaposition of your thread title and the one you are lampooning.

I don't want to get all rule-bound here, but if you want to be funny, you have to put in a little bit more effort. Sheesh!

It would've actually been funny to leave that thread title and then link to something about playing cards. Something! Throw us a bone!!!

[Smile]

Anyway, you can edit your first post and change the title. You click on the "edit post" icon (the icon looks like a piece of paper just above your post. You did understand that, right? I just wonder why you've talked about doing it but haven't actually done it.

I was thinking of one about poets:

Bards...what are they good for...absolutely NOTHING

And then you link to something about poets having to survive on charity because nobody is buying poetry anymore.

Oh well...not very funny either.

An example of a funny dobie. And shameless self-promotion.

Oooh, aaah, Dobies - what are they good for? Absolutely NOTHING!

Barbs...what are they good for... absolutely NOTHING
*giggle*
 
Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :
 
Yeah, imogen, that one will go down in history. I'm still chuckling every now and then. [Smile]

Yes, it was good Dobie.
