Thread: Circus: 'Most boring thread title' competition - make Zappa snore
|

Whenever someone starts a thread with a really boring title, Zappa starts snoring. ![[Snore]](graemlins/snore.gif)
The trouble is, the Hosts' lounge is really small (that's all they give us for all this hard work) and the noise gets really loud.
Perhaps an overdose of reasons to snore might cure him once and for all and give us poor beleagured hosts some peace and quiet.
To this end, you are invited to think up some really, really boring thread titles (even more boring than the ones which have already been used before) - can you make Zappa snore?
= bored
= very bored
= very, very bored
etc.
(But be sure to post them here, not as real threads, or the snores might turn to ![[Mad]](angryfire.gif) - not to be recommended!)

Gate fastenings I have known.
(You will find this really sad but, due to my many walks on Dartmoor and my many wrestings with intriguingly-designed gate fastenings, I really really was going to write a book on this, when aged about 17. As you can see I was a strange teenager. Of course, I never did write the book. So now is your chance to make the millions I could have had. )

First thought: No need for a sharpener, although the lead is weaker than in traditional pencils.
Second thought: That could be a thread well worth reading for the jokes and double-entendres.
