new threads we need on Tiki Central - Bilge

Some of my best friends eat dinner. The point is that there are nuances and variations that are left uncovered by the existing threads, and they're crying out for new threads. Sure there's a thread called What did you "Make" for Dinner. But not a single one of Boris' great ideas for dinner-related threads overlaps with that one. Let's give credit where it's due - that's some good creative thinking there by Boris, without stepping on anybody's toes with existing threads. If we all just put our heads together, we can come up with some great new threads for TC, such as... What did you "Eat" for Dinner? (Note, the other thread has its rule that "you have to make it yourself" so this thread is ENTIRELY different) What did you "Prepare" for Lunch? What did you "Consume" for Breakfast? What did you "Snack On" between Meals? Do you "Brush" your teeth after a meal? As for whether there should be a distinction between tiki dinner and just any old dinner in the "Tiki Drinks and Food" forum, let me just remind everyone that it's not called "Tiki Drinks and Tiki Food". So I don't know about you all, but that reads to me as ANY FOOD! Plus, as AtomicTikiPunk says, tiki is all about fun, food, and drink, so ANY discussion of food is on topic for TC, right? Well anyway, THIS THREAD is all about new threads, so maybe what we really mean to say is that there should be a new thread about whether THAT THREAD should be where it is. As for the other ideas posted here, some of you are being a little cryptic as to the new thread ideas you're suggesting. F'rinstance, I wasn't sure what to make of this one: On 2010-10-02 20:17, JOHN-O wrote: But you don't need the internet to order cocktails in the Tiki bar. THAT'S the real Tiki Culture !! New thread: JOHN-O's guide to the REAL tiki culture I couldn't really tell what the thread suggestion was; this topic may have been more or less covered already in other posts, but not in its OWN THREAD, so I say, make a new thread! But this following one is a great idea, right in line with the spirit of THIS thread. On 2010-10-04 08:03, Zeta wrote: *Why Tiki? (Why you like it so much?) YES YES YES!! Exactly! You don't even need to run a search for that one! I think we can all just safely assume this is a topic that has never been covered (at least not under that subject name) here on TC. I think we're turning a corner. Keep em coming! -Randy (ps - I know this may come off as teasing some people; please keep in mind this is Bilge and just kidding and all that.)

What did you "Snack On" between Meals?

Do you "Brush" your teeth after a meal?*
