So what do you think about Kierkegaard?
Kierke who?
Weather seems to be the default topic. Existentialism aside, what are the next most universal topics? Is there another topic that might compete with weather?

Weather is the most universal topic, only because sex can be such a touchy subject to talk about, especially in mixed company.
Babies, puppies..accidents on the street, possible fires..
Lol, you have a good point. I tend to ask people if they have ever been to this place or that. “No? You haven’t? You should definitely go sometime…”, or, “Oh? You have? It was awesome huh? Did you see the….”.
Current events, such as BP and the gulf.
That, and problems with Mothers-In-Law
“Have you seen ”[insert any other tv show here]” yesterday evening?”
Local gossip about people not present seems to get far too much attention.
Weather, the fluffy filler intro before anyone is able to go a little deeper.
Imagine if people were free enough to start a conversation about penis size.
‘How ‘bout those big penises, man, you ever had one sooo big it scared you?’ hahaha
@Coloma LOL! “How’s your vag doin? Been workin’ on those Kegels?”.
@Simone_De_Beauvoir O.o Hey…is it strange if I wonder what it’s like to have a vagina, and have something big go in it…....LMAO.
@Blackberry I don’t think that’s weird – I wonder what it’s like to have an erection.
@rebbel LOL, the Russian word is ‘keglya’
Wow, that is already the second Russian word i learned in two days!
Weather is not just small talk for me. I am genuinely passionate about the weather. Just saying. ;)
Current events are popular small talk, also.
Current events are popular small talk, also.
Especially the misdeeds and misfortunes of celebrities.
