OT - We Can Do Worse Than That!

Submitted by Everyone Murders on

MGoFriends, I've watched the tail end of OT Season as a lurker, and frankly I'm disappointed.  While we've had some moderately bad threads - you know who you are - at no point did a swarm of flies descend on my monitor.

We can do worse.  I believe in the MGoBoard to have some truly awful thread ideas.  I'm looking for suggestions that would make us pine for another Nike shoe thread.  In short, I'm looking for OT threads that would just be a ... (struggles for the right word) shitshow.

Here are some topics that came to mind:

Topics:

1. Marry One, Murder One, Fuck One – Moderator Edition!

2. No Ragrets - What is your life’s biggest regret?

3. POTUS 2016 – Who You Got? And why?

4. Kate Upton – fit or flabby?

5. Alternate Universe - If 2016 Harbaugh coached 1984 Harbaugh in this offense would 1984 Harbaugh quit or thrive?

6. If you could spend an “intimate weekend” with an MGoBoard member, who would it be and why?

7. Wolverine Devotee – A Psychoanalysis.

8. Favorite MGoSexual Positions – Let’s Hear Them!

9. What’s your Tinder Handle?

10. We know he’s a good coach and a nasty man, but is Mark Dantonio – deep down – loveable?

11. Who’s got a hot mother-in-law? Pictures or it didn’t happen thread!

12. Pit bulls. Great pets with a bad reputation, or bred to kill?

13. Best waffle iron?

14. We probably shouldn’t _____ until Michigan has beaten MSU and OSU. (Wherein we go from beating a dead horse to making dog food.)*

I know you can do better.  Remember, the idea here is to come up with a terrible topic for the board - not to actually discuss them.  So whaddaya got? 

*FWIW, I thought that Mad Hatter's meme, when properly deployed, was like a fine chili con carne - it got better and better over time.

To be fair, I am sure this one would at least be OK until people started providing annotated slideshows with photographs of the process from start to finish. That's when it would turn into a shitshow, I would think. Hopefully, that thread doesn't appear when I am in a meeting or something - it might need to be watched until the precise moment it became a shitshow.

#2 Not learning to kiss from Emma Roberts and Jennifer Aniston is easily my biggest ragret

#3. Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen (he was #1)

#4. or

#5 Thrive. Harbaugh essentially was coached by Harbaugh. Bo mind melded with him.

#8 Prison guard

#10 No.

#12 Okay as pets, with a bad reputation. Don't understand all the hype.

#13 the one that makes the deepest pockets to catch syrup/toppings

#14 fill in this blank

This isn't even controversial.  I've been happily married for years, and bits of knowledge like this help explain why.

I'm looking for things people could get in an irrational argument about.  This is just patently correct.

Most hotels will still use the "under" configuration though the general population is still majority "over." One of the best Wikipedia entries ever:

While many people consider this topic unimportant, some hold strong opinions on the matter. Advice columnist Ann Landers said that the subject was the most responded to (15,000 letters in 1986) and controversial issue in her column's history. Defenders of either position cite advantages ranging from aesthetics, hospitality, and cleanliness to paper conservation, the ease of detaching individual squares, and compatibility with a recreational vehicle or a cat. Some writers have proposed connections to age, sex, or political philosophy, and survey evidence has shown a correlation with socioeconomic status. A generic answer is that it should hang the way the person doing the roll changing prefers. [ed: screw that]  Solutions range from compromise, to using separate dispensers or separate bathrooms entirely, or simply ignoring the issue altogether. One man advocates a plan under which his country will standardize on a single forced orientation, and at least one inventor hopes to popularize a new kind of toilet roll holder which swivels from one orientation to the other.

A couple weeks ago I went to the bathroom and noticed the TP roll was empty. Monster. Whatever. Fine. When I went into the storage shelf next to the toliet to grab a new roll the one I had picked up was mysteriously already unsealed. Yes. Not only is she a monster, she deliberatly put the partially used roll back onto the shelf.

So much this. I don't even argue with the wife about toilet paper. I just flip the roll to the correct position and move on with my day.

this is probably helped along by the coffee, but feels good to get paid while you poop. Also no toddlers banging on the door, so it's as peaceful as it's going to get.

Luckily this discussion could happen during both OT and non-OT periods, because of the great philisophical book "Everybody Poops"

This intrigues me:
1. Why Dave Brandon is just misunderstood
2. Best insulting nicknames for the previous two head coaches.
3. Is that a sore or an infection(with pictures to help with the diagnosis)
4. Best off-shore gambling sites (with links).

1. Worst thing you've ever put in a toilet (extra points if it came from your own body).

2. How big is it really? A confession.

3. That one time, at band camp. Outside the lines edition.

4. My favorite recipies that will make you vomit.

5. The many times I've had human excrement on my hands (not before lunch edition). Extra points for additional body parts.

IBD Support Thread - Share Your Story I didn't realize how prevalent this unfortunate disease is until I found Mgoblog. A support group may be a start in the right direction to help these poor souls.

Hypothetically...I have a "friend" who is a a 36 C and is wondering... Is that big enough if they're real? Or should She go bigger? If this friend has had a couple kids and is over 40, should she get them perked up? Perked up and bigger? Or stay natural? If bigger, how big? I'll hang up and take notes...for her.

36C is perfect.

Stay natural unless YOU want to change.

Prepare for roughly 15,000 responses along the lines of "go for the moon(s), literally".

 

Actual answer to stay in line with this thread:

I would need to examine them first.

We need to be completely in line with all of the relevant gender-neutral pronoun use around here. So, let me fix that for you:

Hypothetically...I have a "friend" who is a a 36 C and is wondering...

Is that big enough if they're real? Or should Zhe go bigger?

If this friend has had a couple kids and is over 40, should zhe get them perked up? Perked up and bigger? Or stay natural? If bigger, how big?

I'll hang up and take notes...for zher.

Or do you just miss Johnny Carson, dammit? And... Who's Really the #1 radio guy? Rush or Howard This is a no-brainier, but could definitely provide an opportunity for someone to get banned, and that's always fun.
