Things that you saw in GD thread.

I had this idea a while back, please shoot it down if it's deemed a waste of time but I think it could lurk in the background a long time gradually filling up with amusing (to some) coincidental "jokes".

Using the Imgur capture area tool browser extension, or similar, Copy and upload 2 or more thread titles that when they come together naturally on the forum can bring you a smirk.

It does happen quite often and over the years it has made me smile.

Making them up.forcing them to happen isn't going to be as funny as when they do happen naturally. I totally understand if people think this is a waste of time/unfunny/etc etc but it's my day off and I'm bored.

If you can consider a witty 1 line explanation as well, receive a bonus point.

Anyway to get it started, not a super one, but one that made me slightly smile.

I've seen some funny thread titles come together. There was one ages ago which went something like:

Help with ebay item I've sold
Help with ebay item I've bought

Not amazing, but there have been some over the years which were classics (think there was one about wife cheating, then another thread where someone was cheating with a married woman). The two weren't connected, but both titles together looked funny.

You used to see these posted quite often but less so now. It kind of makes sense to have a thread to place them but OP I cannot believe how poorly you have named this thread. If this is to be a "thing" it need a much better thread title akin to the Youtube / Random images so it's easily searchable when people want to post one.

Rename it then if it was popular its not hard. Its just testing an idea.

something daft already!! · 26 Sep 2017 at 14:43

Backs slowly out the the thread.

Well I thought we had a thread on this already, but I can't find it, so the egg is on my face.

We've had loads. They're probably in the archives.

Mostly considerably better than the OPs!

Totally agree.

Isnt this sort of thing exactly what the fresh random imahe thread is for? You see these sorts of coincidence images posted in there all the time

CaptainComedy · 26 Sep 2017 at 15:58

Happens all the time.

What about the OcUK/Mumsnet crossovers? Been a few of those in the past

Mad_Jay · 26 Sep 2017 at 17:55

Instantly reminded of this.

OK so not two thread titles together but this one bemused me a bit

(for context the poster apparently identifies as male, despite the user name "Miss Chief" and has been previously rather indigent about people mistaking him as female.... then this thread pops up on the list where 'he' uses the phrase "gorgeous whiffs"...)
