Question What makes a thread last?

I always am amazed at the threads that take off, and the ones that die. Some threads, which have heavy discourse written all over them fail, and others that I think are going nowhere suddenly spring to life.

I have a weird thing about studying patterns and conversations, etc. I am just curious what is the magic ingredient that either forges a good thread, or poisons it?

Thoughts?

PS. Of course I would like to see this thread flourish, but as always I have no idea if it will.

t.

We'll put this up to experimental testing. I'll flag a random O.T. thread as a control and this one as the subject. Bet it lasts longer than the control now.

It's all about the boobs.

Viagra?

Who knows around here. I put up a post for myself, just to try and get video to link, and it got 5 stars.

Also, saying that you are going to be the last one to post seems to keep things going for a while...

Liberals and Neocons and Hippies are all doodoo heads. If you eat meat, you are Satan, and if you are Vegan you are a fruitcake, and if you own a gun you are a Nazi and if you are for gun control you are a homo (not that there is anything wrong with that). If you believe in God you are a sheep, and if you are an atheist you are going to hell. If you are into fake boobs you are trashy and if you don't like boobs you don't know what you are missing, or you might be gay (not that there is anything wrong with that). If you support the war in Iraq you are an imperialst Bush-loving blood-for-oil whore, and if you are against the war you are a dirty tree-hugging out of touch with reality hippy who is an enemy of America and democracy.

I can go on for hours...

Usually a 90 degree turn in topic. Know as the "O-OT" syndrome. Now how about that Giants - Cowboys game??
