I have floated some turds in my time on A2K.

By "floating a turd", I mean starting a thread that was just so uninteresting, or just plain stupid, that it just sat out there in the swimming pool of A2K, like the supposed turd in Caddy Shack, taking up space on the "New topics" window, all useless and ill-conceived.

Just a plain old dumb idea for a thread.

I don't know why, but this was my latest dud.

Just so I know I'm not alone here, have you ever "floated a turd" on A2K? If you have, and if you like to waste your time, like I do, thinking about some of your least interesting ideas, post the link here, and let me know I'm not alone in this. Come on, admit it. You know you've done it too . . .

Sure, I think everyone has done that on many occasions. My most recent one I can't link to, as it has been removed, and coincidentally was bowel-movement related.

Kicky, I found one that's still here and had zero response. I thought it was funny as hell, but apparently others didn't:

I once posted a thread about an internet consumer watchdog group:

I really liked the idea. and so did Charli, but it looks like we were in the minority!

I found this one for Sozobe that actually contains some useful information. Its not a turd. It just apparently was overlooked in the rush of posts. ---BBB

Noddy,

Laughing

There are lots of ways to head downhill from here, but I won't get into them right here, and usually this is as low as I go on A2K.

As you may or may not know, I'm not a completely juvenile person, I just like plain talk, and I like to pepper my posts with colorful (you call them adolescent, but I'd prefer to think of them as colorful) descriptions. And yes, I do like straddling the line of good taste.

Like you said though, some people like it, and some don't. But seriously, how upset can you get about the word "turd"?

I hope you can forgive my adolescent leanings. I'm a kid at heart.

Kicky, don't let it go to your head.

I think so too. The problem is, that the title does bring up some, shall we say, strange images in my mind! Laughing

I don't think that just because no one responds to your post means it is a turd. Perhaps it is just funny, but there is no way to respond. Others may enjoy it, but have nothing more to say other than that was funny or that is a good idea. I have read many like that. Typically since I am long winded I only like to respond if I can add something more than "Ha Ha." But after reading this post, I realize everyone likes positive re-enforcement so I will add the "Ha Ha" or "Great idea".

I apologize for my inept posting. Lydia Pinkham and I will have a long, long talk.

Thanks for your mature reaction, kickycan.

K.C., Often, I hug myself when I post a thread that I feel has universal appeal, and then ...................................................

NOTHING!

Ah, well, When you're hot you're hot; when you're not you're not.

The original writing category often goes begging, and I do wish more folks would take a look and comment.

At one time or another, I have tried to respond to every category, either to learn something or to express my ignorance.

Sheeze, Noddy. Lydia Pinkham? Smile It's been said that the biggest addict of all time, was the middle age woman of the early 1900's who drank that stuff like mad. It was laced with opiates!

Yeah, Letty, I know what you mean, especially in the original writing forum.

Maybe I'll start responding to posts with no responses by posting that picture of Bill up there with the candy bar in his hand. Smile

BBB, I don't even remember that one ("Hey, cool links... oh that was ME! heh.") but I think that's a category that doesn't require any particular response. Just an FYI sort of thing.

I've definitely started topics that were going for a response and they either sat there doing nothing or went in a totally different direction. Ah well.
