What posts are over done in the Lounge?

[Goathead]

I'm not talking about topical stuff like Schiavo or fads like Oasis, I mean stuff that gets posted on a regular basis that to the poster seems clever, but it has been done a gazillion times. Like: "What is your favorite flavor of Ben & Jerry's?" there must be a ton of those.

7. Attempts by people to out-retard each other.

Which, coincidentally, is just about everything that gets posted in the Lounge.

8. I find the copy-cat threads the most annoying

Particularly since 99% of the time, they aren't the least bit clever or funny.

I count four in response to this one right here -- and all of them are humor-free.

13. Caption this. . . .

and then the obligatory bush doing something stupid. It's just too easy, as he is constantly doing something stupid.

And yes, I've done it too!

15. The caption threads are my favorite ...

Thank you to all who keep them coming ... especially those who start the threads with clever captions. I look forward to them.
