Some topic threads on TC take a fresh existential approach to things. Using specific terms in the thread title is rather banal, because then the reader already has a rough idea what the topic is about, and there's no mystery. So these threads bring new life to the forums that are otherwise full of just so many other threads that are overt and topically coherent. We need more topics along those lines, like f'rinstance...

*Anyone seen something before? If so, what was it?

Anyone ever been there?

Done that?

What the heck is this?

Huh?

What's that pinging sound?

Where is this from?

Where should I be right now? Can I get a ride there?

Please help identify me.*

And in an offshoot of this existential style, there's another form of speculative "possible world" topics. These threads are not about subjects that are related to tiki, or even once were related to tiki. No, these are about things that might be related to tiki in some plausible alternate world. Naturally it's customary to post about interesting but non-tiki things in Beyond, but that's different. I'm talking about the innovative practice of posting about potential tiki connections in the topical or General forums! Some suggestions for more topics along these lines...

*If someone added some tikis to this house I'm selling, it could be a tiki house

If someone added some rum to this drink I'm drinking, it could be a rum drink*
