And if I told a story about a pet duck I had and some one said that reminds me of my aunt Ethel and her washing machine I couldn't care less which way the story line went.
I'm brainstorming. Maybe the only rule would be that it be a story we might enjoy, something lighthearted or warming.

Great idea, tomwed. I think it would be a hit!
One thing I wonder if the OP has considered is the number of views those threads get. Since the majority of the views are obviously not from the regular posters, I would think the forum owner(s) and advertisers on here would be quite happy with the "traffic" they generate.
The one point I do understand regarding the OP's post is that they are not necessarily everyone's cup of tea, just like someone else may never engage in political threads or golf threads, for example. But one thing that has happened with THREE WORD and NOTHING is that they have built camaraderie among those regular participants like no other threads on this forum. And I think that's worth something.
Most everyone needs levity now and then and the types of threads mentioned by the OP provide that for both participants and viewers.
