For the love of God and all that's holy
Someone please add the new QOTW.

And can it please, please not be shit this time?

Remember:

Mix Tapes = Bad
My first sock = Bad
Sellotape I once bought = Bad
Cheap Tat = Bad
Ode to a ball of green putty I found in my armpit this morning = Bad

But! But! But!
"My first roll of sellotape" would be brilliant.

Oh, no. Wait. I misread that as "The time I fell into and fell asleep inside an erupting volcano."


Which I have done.

and did you
put "tell us about the time you fell asleep inside a volcano" into the QOTW suggestions? I think not! Which probably means there's a good chance of it getting picked...

Falling asleep in interesting places has bindun...
... before I was a b3tan, admittedly, but bindun nonetheless.

bindun
doesn't seem to prevent it from re-being bindun. I give you Guilty Pleasures 2 as an example.

aaaah, now my second cigarrette
was a lot more interesting than my first, it involved ninjas, the sodomy of dead animals, lots of masturbation in a sex dungeon and bum sex.

can we have something else on computers?
My first motherboard
My new pentium processor
How I said something really clever to a non-techie
I'm so clever with computers
My favourite IT jargon
I choose the QOTWs but seldom post because I lack the imagination to do so

And doesn't give rise to the following
I got soooo stoned.
I got soooo drunk.
I was sick.
I stole a traffic cone.
I tried to have sex with someone.
Look at Me, I'm mad I am!!!!!

I'm
hoping for "the time I dismantled a wardrobe" because I did so yesterday and now have lots of amusing stories about it.

How about
"The time I moved house, and it turned out to not be very stressful at all!". Loads of scope there for...um...interesting stories of woe.
Perhaps.

Or...
How about The Time My Souffle Sunk
or
When I Had A KitKat And One Finger Was All Chocolate (that sounds ruder than I meant it to)
or...
Oh I don't know, something vaguely interesting so I dont have to resort to actually writing my dissertation!

Oh! Oh!
I've got a good one!

How I sold something on Ebay.

I've just started doing this and it's thrilling. Honestly. I could talk for almost minutes about how exciting and interesting this is. It would make a great qotw. I could probably even shoe-horn in the odd story about my first sock.

The time I fell into and fell asleep inside an erupting volcano.
I misread that as "The time I fellated an erupting volcano".

It burnt my mouth

Formula for ideal QOTW
- Must allow everyone the opportunity to offer multiple stories (i.e. not "My first..."
- Must appeal to men as much as women (i.e. not "My cock and what I do with it"
- Must not appeal only to one kind of poster (i.e. not "I love computers to the exclusion of all else"
- Must have the potential for humour as well as profundity (i.e. not "My favourite drunken vomiting session"
- Must not repeat other QOTWs in slightly different wording
- might like to take into account the hundreds of suggestions from people who love QOTW and use it all day every day

Smugness.
I want a QOTW for "times that you've felt justifiably smug"

And no. I can't be arsed to suggest it.

and I REALLY need a piss.

and I want a cabury's egg, but you can't buy them in Sweden.

@Frank
I'm sure chickenlady could come up with something on the subject of "My cock and what I do with it"?

"and was only stopped when his own small intestine leapt up his neck and throttled his brain"

Also from memory - now off to go and check if I got them right. Sad.
