Odd or unusual thread titles; threads which you'll never see on radiodiscussions.com

It could be said there are two categories: Funny or strange thread titles, either from your imagination or something you found on another forum. A real-life thread title I ran across on another forum:

Spitting beverages across the table at restaurants

The other category is thread titles you won't ever find on radiodiscussions. Such as:

DX'ing with a Radio Flyer
David Eduardo and oldies 76 agree on playlists
Will running my radio through the dishwasher help it sound better?
Using sandpaper to clean vinyl LPs: fine or coarse grade?
Blowing up balloons with propane
My HOA won't allow me to hook my ham radio to a giant radio telescope
 
Beautiful music #1 billing format in 2015

Smooth Jazz comes back on 20 full-powered stations in the United States, including New York
Westwood One revives a SJ network; based off of the old Jones satellite service and sold to 41 affiliate stations
Muzak premieres on 50 HD-2/3 subchannels throughout the nation
WBBM received on a toaster in Washington state!
FCC bans country "rap" music on terrestrial radio throughout the nation

There's more than that, but a few examples!

"Marijuana Initiative Sent to Joint Committee"

...and of course, the greatest headline of all time. Courtesy of the New York Post:
"Obama Beats Weiner"
