starting over. A change in the rules: only 3 days inactivity produces a winner.
quote: From Thread I: THE RULES:
1) THE BASIC IDEA: Post to this thread, if no one posts after you for 3 days, you win!
2) Posts that are not direct responses to one of the five preceding posts are ineligible to win. The topic can drift, but no complete non-sequitors. Posts that are responses to non-sequitors are also ineligible to win. Posts that are responses to responses to non-sequitors, and responses to those posts, etc., become eligible, however.
3) In the event that this thread is locked, there shall be no winner unless a new thread is started for the contest. Furthemrore, any post that results in the banning of the poster shall also be ineligible to win.
4) So, more precisely, one wins if one makes a post, and then no one makes another post that's eligible to win for seven days.

So, what topic will possibly make people leave this thread alone for three days?
Religion (200s)?
Politics (320s)?
The Dewey Decimal System (025.431)?

You tried that topic in the last thread. Didn't work then. Perhaps I should talk about tax law or secured transactions.

Hey, I know, let's talk about unfairly villified 80s cartoons. I almost killed the "Share Something Completely Random" thread by posting about the GoBots.

Whatever we do, we should not talk about Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, Def Leppard, or Madonna, as those topics seem to generate passionate responses.

I do not think the change in rules was agreed to. Don't we need unanimous consent or at least 75% of the participants representing 67% of the alt-ids of this board.

In my time zone, it's 7:00, so that's not so evil.
