Threads that will never be

What threads have you thought about starting, but then thought: "no, that'll never work"?

Laying in bed this morning, I was thinking it would be a good idea to start an "own up to an anonymous thread that you started years ago" thread. Or, a thread where you log out then post two anonymous threads that were both you. "Nah," I thought, "noone would own up to any of the logged-out stuff on ILE, however long ago it was." I rolled over and went back to sleep.

"What are your most/least favorite teeth styles?"
It was going to be about how some people have beautiful, big teeth, and some people have little tiny teeth that are still cute and some people have mostly gums, and some people have one tooth slightly twisted but it's kinda hot, and some people's canine's are sexy as hell... But I couldn't find enough representation of different kinds of teeth pictures, so it never got off the ground.

(Ha ha, I usually end up outing myself on my own anonymous threads anyway, but still...)

Today while wandering around Abney Park Cemetary I thought I would start a thread about POV: Creepy Victorian Cememtaries In London then realised me and possibly Gareth or Ed would be the only people on it. Sigh. Maybe I'll start it anyway.

I almost started an ILM thread that, uh, had to do with representing[?] a song's lyrics [jeez that's clumsy!] with images [would 'pictures' be a better word to use here?] and someone else could guess which song you're... trying to... uh... represent [again?] with, you know, jpegs and gifs or what have you.

I just couldn't clean up the syntax of the thread title. You want a pithy title. Oh, and the idea sucks anyway.

Sounds like a...REBUS!

dierdre's idea is funny.

nine years pass...

I wanted to start a thread to discuss the movie "Sex, Lies, and Videotape".

Impossible, right?

Oftentimes, when I crack an egg while making my breakfast, I use my forefinger to scoop out the little bit of egg white that remains in the shell, so it won't be wasted. I learned this as a child by watching my mother, who was a child of the depression and wartime rationing. As I do so, I contemplate starting a thread to ask ilxors if any of them duplicate this act of borderline-insane frugality. Then I think better of it, as it would reveal too starkly my fragile grasp on reality.
