Nothing wrong with cascades. :)

There seems to be a consistently resurgent desire to have actual threads
here.  Witness a well-meaning one-post-long thread at
<http://www.lugnet.com/off-topic/test/?n=1245>, linguistic silliness starting
at <http://www.lugnet.com/off-topic/test/?n=1198>, the obvious at
<http://www.lugnet.com/off-topic/test/?n=1168>, some je ne sais quoi at
<http://www.lugnet.com/off-topic/test/?n=1171>, and an incredible 7-message-
long insurgent thread at <http://www.lugnet.com/off-topic/test/?n=1165>.  But
this thread is holding at 10 messages long.  Hee...

Shall we hold a contest to see who can maintain or help maintain a thread
here?  Everybody write the silliest or most attention-grabbing message you can
and see how many replies it generates.
