The art of crafting interesting and enlightening thread starters, an art form perfected BobMckellar over many seasons. After doing the thread starter for most of last season, I am tapped out in terms of thematic stories that can take you, Gentle Reader, on interesting sidelights before the in-game commentary begins. I may step in at some point late in the season; but in the meantime, I suggest stevelee, who can take us on a tour of notable places he's visited around the world; or citycat, who can reminisce about all the road trips he took as a young man; or even DCWildcat69, who could regale us with weird pediatric disorders or strange parents he encountered in his career.
Collectively, the possibilities are endless. Dr. Bliss could write about any number of subjects, from flyfishing to golf to guitar pickin'. Steve Rodgers could write about his experiences playing college hoops. TOK could regale us with tales of variations in poultry cloacas. Even stan could get involved with a series of thread starters on how to bend your knees.
Still, will someone please step up before the Peace Knicks' tip-off!

Re: Need a volunteer for this season's thread-starters
I have a lot of great stories. Unfortunately, confidentiality forbids me from sharing them.
My one guest shot here was an account of visiting Threadstarter World Headquarters. I think I’m the only person on this board to have made that pilgrimàge, especially as part of a Rocky Mountain tour.
I doubt people would have that much interest in my musical adventures, but later in the season I could share a bit about what is probably the most unusual thing I have ever done. But for the most part, I’d enjoy reading some of the topics by the writers suggested above.
If no one else has any ideas on short notice, I can post a brief thread-start late tomorrow afternoon.

I wouldn't mind taking a few turns at this. Maybe give me a tryout on some selected games this season. I think we're all scared of following the masters - there have been some amazing stories and deep Davidson lore that I will not be able to touch. But perhaps I can post a couple of interesting things. Just let me know. (and hey, if I get cut from the team, it won't hurt my feelings). Sounds like SteveLee is good for tomorrow).

Er...tonight. I hope.

And he was! (That wasn't the best pitch for threadstarting. Hahahahaha..)
