The answer to that, Bob, is to come up with an idea so totally stupid or ridiculous that NO ONE here has even thought of it before...and launch a thread on that. I did this way back when with a series of threads on William Shatner, and the rest is history.

It helps if you pretend to be absolutely serious about it. Then there are usually a few GUESTS who start lecturing you about all kinds of things in an attempt to straighten you out and put you in your place, and so it goes...

Then, just to keep 'em off balance and show that you are not a "one-trick pony", you launch some other threads that actually are about serious and meaningful subjects.

This is how one fights cabin fever during a long Canadian winter. Cool, eh? Well, cold actually...
