Crowdsourcing my ingredient threads

[Joel P. Shempert]

OK, I'd like help pulling inspiration out of these threads, and I could use some fresh eyeballs and different perspectives.

So if you'd be so kind, scan these threads (certainly don't read them in full unless you REEEEALLY want to!) and pull out evocative phrases out of context. It can be anything you find interesting, but keep it to short sentences or sentence fragments. Go!
