Question of the Week suggestions
Each week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

Favorite things.
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens. Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens.
What is your favorite thing?
To be specific - physical objects that can be legally owned.
So genitals are right out, unless pickled, in a jar.

Some rapes can be funny, with the 'victims' laughing about the whole experience in years to come.

Actions speak louder than words
Do your actions speak louder than your words? I'll bet your larynx speaks louder than either of them. But let's not have any shouting, eh?

Strange celeb requests
I once asked Austin Healey (rugby bloke) to sign a dvd to my wife saying 'there's more to rugby than staring at my arse'. Which he duly did(if this gets QOTW I'll post up said dvd cover).
What's the strangest request you've asked a celeb and they've done?

SCIENCE.
There are b3tans who work at CERN, and others who've not done anything scientific since school. Either way, labs and other Places of ScienceTM offer hours of funnicking about with explosives, poisons, and expensive equipment.
Tell us about science, and your (mis)adventures therewith.

Meeting weirdos
As a kid I had a CB Radio and arranged to meet some GIRLS over it. When we got there it turned out they munted so we casually strolled past as if we were nothing to do with them. I feel vaguely guilty about that, if I'm honest.
I've also met people off the internet. Many of them munted too but I toughed it out.
Tell us your tales of meeting up with people you've never seen before.

Heart in the right place
Is your heart in the right place? Maybe it has migrated to your arm. Better check, just to be on the safe side.

School trips
Tell us what happened when you and your class mates were allowed to become feral for a day, whether it be a trip to a field for educational reasons, or a trip to a nearby theme park which nearly resulted in someone being flung from an archaic fairground ride.

Double-edged sword
Have you got a double-edged sword? Wouldn't a single-edged sword just be a really long knife?

A few years ago we had weddings as a topic.
This should be followed up, as is appropriate and natural, with divorce.

Call a spade a spade
Do you call a spade a spade? Do you mistakenly call it a shovel? Do you call black people "spades"? Are you a racist from the 1950s?

Have you ever woken up and smelled the coffee? Was it actually coffee or were you having a stroke?

Tantrums
When we were younger my little brother had a tantrum which ended when he threw a fork at another brother and it stuck in his cheek for a bit. That was a pretty memorable tantrum.

Rain on your parade
Has it ever rained on your parade? What kind of parade was it? Perhaps it was Pride, or the Notting Hill Carnival, or an Orange march, or a ticker-tape parade for an astronaut. What kind of rain was it? What was the PH of the droplets? Were you wearing a suede jacket? How much was the dry cleaning bill?

"It was this big. I had to use the Honda Accord and a tow-rope to land the fucker!"
Post an anecdote about anything. Only one rule though, you must embellish and exaggerate it to the point of ridicule.
and keep it entertaining. So two rules then.

If you could say *ANYTHING* to your fave website's mods
with absolute impunity, what would it be.
Especially when they've closed a thread down rather than just banning the posters who were behaving like fuckwits.
