That time again where we have run through the latest batch of Daily Dialogue themes, so we need to stock up. Here is your chance to steer the direction of this series for a full week. A few points:

* While we want themes that are entertaining, there is also an educational component to the series, a chance to engage in Dialogue On Dialogue. So when you propose a theme, be mindful of both those considerations.

* Themes should be able to support at least 7 movies. So, for example, you suggested, “Dialogue that uses the word ‘aardvark,’ that would probably be pretty tough. If, on the other hand, you proposed the theme of ‘arguments,’ we’d be in good shape.

So have at it! Your chance to influence what gets posted on this blog. And if your theme gets selected, you get to see your name on each day’s Daily Dialogue for an entire week.

Okay, so it’s not a new washer-dryer or an ocean cruise, but it is something!

See you in comments for your DDT suggestions!
