Since those of you who frequent ATT seem to be incapable of ever staying on topic, I offer a new way of thinking: no topic at all.

SA, perhaps we can try this experiment for a time and if people get out of hand it can be locked? :P

After all, creativity comes more from randomness than from controlled situations.

This topic su-oh, wait.

In reality, every topic in ATT is just one piece of the gigantic Hive-topic, with the subject of randomness. In order to keep the Hive-topic from growing too large, parts of it are excised now and then. In order to keep the Hive-topic from shrinking too much, we create new topics that are eventually absorbed by the Hive-topic for sustenance.

It's like some crazy parasitic relationship.

I think I've done a pretty good job of staying on topic in the laundry thread.

Yikes. That went on for 24 pages and the last person to post was an imported banned user.

Been tried before. Topics which have no topic do tend to stay on topic, this is true. They're just really boring. The only stream-of-consciousness which will ever be worth reading about is your own stream-of-consciousness.

Ah, I see.

Well, it seems that this will inevitably strain your patience and I'll wonder what happened...

We need a song about you. Not necessarily a good song, but something with a good guitar riff, and drums, and someone with a strong voice on vocals. And it'd need "JUDICIAL SYSTEM'D" in the refrain, or else it would suck.
