Posts of the form \"Ask [personX] about [topic Y]\"
I just noticed this thread: Ask Mrs. Utah About Birthin' Babies, in the Lounge. It's good. There is a rash of interesting 'Ask' threads that are developing.
Who knows the earliest occurence of a thread of this form type in existence on 2+2?

Some of the original threads were apparently deleted as being lame... but the earliest still around in the Ask X about Y format, is Anacardo's from March 24th in OOT. On that day, the use of this format exploded in OOT, spawning many ask about and anti-ask about threads...
You can use search for, +ask +about -re: subject only, on OOT and get a rather lengthy list.

[/ QUOTE ] He starts with "Everybody else is doing these Ask X about Y, so I figured I'd do one, too." Seems unlikely he's the first.

I'm a fan of these threads; they seem high content, low mean oneliners, and easily avoided by the folk who hate them. -Sam

Among my faves were the reformed drug addict (Layzie), the parapalegic (can't remember), the cop one (ItalianFX) and the black one which got deleted ([censored]). It was definitely a welcome trend.
