Overture: ... "a tentative suggestion designed to elicit the reactions of others"; also, "a proposal offered for acceptance or rejection".
(Oh, you thought "overture" had something to do with music? Well, there's lots of that, too.)

Hosted by BAM, who experiments unpredictably, often whimsically, with various genres and forms of drama, pathos, humor, satire, nostalgic and linguistic trivia, conundra, crystalogos, solecisms, zeugmas, und so weiter.
