Maybe, we should start with some themes, and then, we could "join a team" for a theme (no limits, if we form 8 theme teams, i could be on all (not likely!) or none (again, not likely!)
some themes that have had a go as threads include
crossing the pond (either/both!-- word that have radically different meanings in UK, Oz, NZ, Canada and US)
Tools of the trade-printers words, and geology and, oh, i am not looking it up, fishes and sea creatures(itc/something/ology!)and other specialize words -- some of which have come into common usage..if coelacanth can be used in a tv commercial..
Words with interesting roots this is a theme Anu has used, and we certainly have explored it..
and (your theme here!)
we could use some of anu themes.. or make up our own.. (a theme of anagrams? beheading words? and ducking, now on my way out, food

Er, from what I hear of last March's experience, helen, a "food" thread might be problematical.  But apart from that little quibble, I think your idea is a great one.

Just back from the Riviera ... looks like a really good idea, JazzO. You clearly don't have enough schoolwork to keep your mind busy, do you?

You clearly don't have enough schoolwork to keep your mind busy, do you? Why yes, CK, jazz has far to much mind for a school to keep occupied. Max isn't our only large cranium, you know.

And what about some of the more unusual animal adjectives: anserine, hircine, vulpine, limacine -- courtesy of tsuwm bombycine, didelphine, soricine, trochilidine, turdine -- courtesy of Bingley They're all right there on the Animal Adjective thread on Animal Safari, a fun word thread to bring newcomers into. Oh, and how about musteline?
