woohoo! my first venture into the silly stuff forum.... (I guess I should never say never, huh? lol)
Ok, here are the rules...
To "help out" (lol), create a fictional subforum and accompanying description based off of the odd/quirky/strange things you observe everyday on the TMF in (sub)forums <i><b>other than this one</b></i>. (If we were to include spoofs on 'silly stuff,' well, we'll be chasing our tails FOREVER in here. )
Acceptable humor: dark, sarcastic, snide, parody, having a sense of....
Unacceptable humor: mocking the thread starter. 😀
<u>Examples:</u>
<b>Name:</b> "The Depression Forum" -- a subforum of General Discussion.
<b>Description:</b> Post about your most heartwrenching breakup, loss, or just general feelings of utter helplessness and despair for which there is no relief or solution other than time.....lots and LOTs of time. This is the place where people who are actually feeling good about life (but would rather not) can mellow out, grab a bottle of Jack Daniels, and begin to contemplate suicide.
<b>Name:</b> "Literal Interpretation Forum" -- a forum of the TMF (main).
<b>Description:</b> Here, literally everything you post is literally taken literally. There are no exceptions; there are no jokes. Many of the threads many be formed around interpreting the true meaning and interpretation of the original thread and/or preceeding posts. The words "intended meanings" are intended to have no meaning here. As such, the answer to the question asked will likely be forgotten or considered irrelevent.
Accordingly, everything you type in the LI Forum should be worded so that there is perfect clarity. To clarify, by everything, we literally mean everything. However, by "clarity," we don't mean that it should be clear like, say water, or that it should be clear of sound, like, the sound of a tuning fork, but rather that it should be lucid. By clear water we are referring to a small quantity of water that has been distilled, recollected and is, hypothetically, 100% pure and held to the light in a clean, transparent vessel. Lucidity has two definitions; however the less-common one--"a presumed capacity to perceive the truth directly and instantaneously"--is not intended here. Instead, we simply intend "clearness of thought and mind."
