Thread titles and my very strange mind.

[The Efficacious Gentleman]

Sometimes I see a title of a thread and my mind comes up with some silly ideas before I have even clicked through. Two examples:

Name for lotion: My mind started listing old-man names. I settled on Larry as the best name for a lotion.

Cutting soap: I was imagining soap that was very sarcastic and would say little mean comments to people.

I tend to steer clear of these threads until more sensible answers have been given :angel:

Larry the Lotion?

 

[The Efficacious Gentleman]

As it turns out - Larry the Lemongrass Lotion. Sounds like a gangster with the most amazing skin.............

I thought you were going to mention the "Is this normal?", or "what are these spots?" threads LOL :razz::wtf:

 

[The Efficacious Gentleman]

Those ones require me to have a lie down and a stiff drink before I click on them

I'll take the "Things your gynecologist doesn't want to hear" for $500, Alex.

I think it would be highly amusing if we all got on and answered according to TEG's rules- first thing that comes to your mind. It would make for excellent reading, if not very helpful to the OP.

This is the first thread that made me choke with laughter.

I second this motion.

Well, then let's include this one! I have sewn for almost 60 years. When I saw this title, I thought "Why would you give titles to thread? And if one did, what would you give?" Perhaps "Mrs." for a nice poly/cotton blend? "Dr." if it was to be used for sutures? The possibilities could be endless!

TEG - I often find that the speed of my sarcasm/twisted sense of humor exceeds the rest of my brain. I lack your willpower to not click these things. Sometimes I type the response and do something else for a while. This allows the more balanced parts of my brain to weigh in on the response before clicking post ;-)

Although now I can't get the image of a 40's gangster with a bright yellow striped zoot suit and flawless alabaster skin out of my head...

 

[newbie]

Curse you, TEG! I got on this am and instantly, this started happening to me with every title I read.

Thread title that I saw today in the CP forum: "How much chocolate to add and how"

My 'off-the-top-of-my-head' answer: 'Lots and lots, and how!'


Another thread title I saw today in the CP forum: "What makes the fatty salts different?"

My smart-alecky, off-the-top-of-my-head answer: 'Mostly their diet of greasy French-fries, of course, which makes them much fatter/more rotund (and a bit saltier) than their slimmer salty cousins. And their language is a bit saltier, too.'

^^Love it!

 

[The Efficacious Gentleman]

Ah, irishlass! Well get told off for
Bullying the obese salts by using their nickname 'fatty salts'

 

[newbie]

"Soap Fairies"- Why? They seem in short supply and better suited to leave on products.

"How do you document a loss?"- most often with a headstone.

 

[snappyllama]

Whipped-soap. I bet it's gray. Maybe even 50 shades...

 

[newbie]

"A question of tools"- okay, which of the tools on this forum is asking questions again?


Or perhaps they are simply referring the question we get so frequently, "Can you give me a recipe?" No, we can't, you damned tool.

 

[Jencat]

Thank you for this thread! I needed a laugh :grin:. I do that when I'm reading thread titles too.

 

[Relle]

An old thread title of mine, hope it gives you a laugh - others weren't sure when they opened it what it was about :-D. Only those with a deviate mind would think of something other than what it was.
