Whenever someone starts a thread with a really boring title, Zappa starts snoring.

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 - 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. )

What were you doing on Friday at five to five?

At one time there would have been no need for this thread as we'd have all been watching Crackerjack. But as this thread would reveal, we are all now doing much more interesting things like:

Looking at the clock waiting for 5pm home time.
Watching soccer-mad son getting his kit muddy.
Feeding the guinea pig.
Using the hairdryer to debaptise ourselves.
Watching the newly decorated lounge paint dry.
Listening to the ads on Classic FM.
Wondering which type of wood was used for FD's plank.
Poking zappa with a stick to stop him snoring.

And many other fascinating activities to make all the other shipmates jealous.

Ye gods and haierie faieries. Herein lies proof that Darwin, Charles, was wronger than A Very Wrong Thing™. For if we were evolving, as a species, our ability to scintillate, titillate, fulminate and otherwise obviate the soporific amongst us from the fraught clutches of Lethe in order to preserve our DNA from ingestion by mogodon-saturated Galapagos tortoi, then our fulminations would become less, not more somnolent as utterance progressed.

I fear this has not been the case.

you realize I'm talking about things like line thickness and length, CO2 strength, relative temperature, and coolant levels and pressures? the most fascinating bit would be the technique requirements for pale ales versus IPAs versus porters, and the difference between CO2 and nitrogen on pouring style.

Not talking the various microbrews, etc. which could be interesting.

This is so not boring. Such a problem.

Do you prefer coffee or tea? Discuss ad nauseum.

How many ways can you think of to brew coffee or tea and why do you think your way is the only way?

Sweet, elderly church ladies and weak, watery coffee at the after-service reception.

OTOH, there are ice "cube" molds of various interesting shapes. Animals, birds, celestial objects, symbols. I think a glaciephile thread might take off.

Does the use of "Leitmotiv" and chordal sequence denote spiritual development in the ancillary mythic characters of Wagner's "Ring" cycle?

Mind you, that does sound too much like a genuine PhD subject!

(I'd go for those 4-4-0 locomotives any day! That's a subject to get one's teeth into).

It wasn't really a 'desire' as I stated. It was an almost uncontrollable urge.

Not much, I'm afraid!



Pax Romana (who would love to sing the Exultet, but in our church it has to be sung by a priest or a deacon, and that leaves me out, even though, unlike all of our priests and deacons, I can actually SING)
