I was back in the archives a few minutes ago looking for a thread regarding my First Communion Disaster when I noticed all the other threads that I had started. Looking at them I was thinking that some of them were a little, well, underreplied to.
Which is something that happens to us all, of course. We have a brilliant idea, an amazing insight, or an emotional revelation and it either gets lost in a sea of threadjacked spam or drops like the proverbial rock. This thread is to honor those pieces of flotsam and jetsam, to make us remember the threads that were cruelly discarded by our Apolyton brethren.
For example, my Batboy thread. Batboy deserves 10 times the 4 replies that he actually did get... though I will admit that the quality of respondent was quite high. 
Not a single one of you had the balls to admit that you were taken in by the Y2k hype (18 replies), just as not a one of you could admit that you owned tech stocks (7 replies). 
But the worst was my Gen-X Retirement Home Dance Playlist where I tried to envision 80 year old people listening to "Get Into the Groove" and "Rock the Casbah." Not a single one of you wanted to go down that road.  And, upon reflection, probably with good reason.
What about your lost threads, the brilliant ideas that turned into toads before your saddened and angered eyes? This is their last chance to shine just a little bit, to get the second chance they deserve.

I still say my "Fedorov To Ducks" thread should have become the new summer hockey discussion thread. Ah, I guess that'll pick up in the fall.

And then there was my "The Newsroom" thread, which garnered a grand total of 0 replies. Huzzah!

Asher:
its real sad if you think about it... he graduated high school, beat all the odds against him growing up in philly and joined the Navy, served in the post-9/11 period but then died a few days before the ship returned to port

Sounds pretty tragic...then again, it's just one of those things were you wish he lived so you could laugh at it without being an ass.
