A game of Topic Telephone...or how many degrees of separation between two topics: I like it.
Interesting results will depend on sincere tangents: if posters merely attempt the most obscure tangents, the thread will collapse into parody.
You could start the topic and the first responder, and then let each poster pick the next, perhaps from a list of volunteer participants.
My favorite Emily would like it, too:
quote:
Tell all the Truth but tell it slant---
Success in Circuit lies
Too bright for our infirm Delight
The Truth's superb surprise
As Lightening to the Children eased
With explanation kind
The Truth must dazzle gradually
Or every man be blind---

Have you ever been to an American wedding? Where's the vodka? Where's the marinated herring?!
-Gogol Bordello
Real things always push back.
-William James
