Well, Son of 53, it's a good try, but you just can't touch your ol' dad for inane topics. Potato prices, after all, hold some interest for some people.

Also, you're going to have to up your production if you're gonna hold up the family honor. I figure 8 or 10 new threads a day will just about keep pace, but if you're ever gonna best the old man, you're gonna have to go for 12 or 14 and hit a consistancy to really establish your superiority.

Just to give you a little boost, you might try threads on how often you clean the lint out of your bellybutton, what you use to get the was out of your ears and whether or not you check the contents of your handkerchief after each use. I don't think he's started anything on those yet.

cheers,

david
