I kind of understand where Matt was coming from at the very beginning when he was commenting
on your threads. The BB is a free area of course, and I guess one can start up as many threads as they'd like to. Maybe one or two of them will even be very interesting. But sometimes there will be 6-8
new threads and it's kind of like talking with someone who doesn't know how to have a conversation, and starts multiple subjects while speaking:
Two guys at a bus stop:
Bob: "Hi, how's it going?"
Jim: "Not bad. Did you know that Coral Snakes are going extinct in the Phillippines?"
Bob: "Oh really? That's interesting. How 'bout this weather huh?"
Jim: "Yeah, almost like the east coast. Speaking of the East Coast did you know Ben Franklin
created a musical device?"
Bob: "Really? That's also interesting. I wonder when that bus is going to get here?"
Jim: "My Aunt used to drive a bus. You know she said the bus had magical powers and could start by itself. She
was crazy!!"
Bob: "Boy, sounds like it. You don't happen to have a bus schedule do you?"
Jim: "No. I saw a Pink Flamingo eat a rabbit once. Did you know that they don't eat rice in Azerbijan?"
Bob: "Is that the bus? Sure hope so. I need to get to my mother in the hospital."
Jim: "The thermometer was invented by a woman named Gertrude. She drove a Buick. Did you know Buicks
were one of the first cars that came with seat belts?"
Bob: "Oh thank God, here's the bus!"
Jim: "I like Target better than Walmart because Target gives their employees better benefits."
(Bus pulls up and doors swing open)
Bob: (climbing up stairs of bus) "See you later".
Jim: "See you. I once had an idea to build an escalator for use on buses"
Driver: "Hey you!! You gettin' on the bus or what??!!"
Jim: "Do you go to fifth and Franklin? I want to go to the aquarium. You ever seen a snapping turtle?"
Driver: "No! That's not on my route! You gonna get on?!!?"
JIm: "No. Maybe I'll go to the zoo instead. Did you know (bus doors close and bus begins to pull away) that
one of the zookeepers there has two rows of teeth, and six fingers on one hand?? (turns to an old woman
walking up swiftly who has just missed the bus) "Oh, hello ma'am, you look a bit winded, did you know the
giraffe can run 35 miles and hour and never makes a sound?"
By the way this is all meant tonge in cheek but I think you catch my drift.
