theOfficial Hijacking Threads Hijack Thread

In summary, many people are complaining about the way threads get hijacked and morph into something completely unrelated to the original thread title. Some say it's just the way normal conversation flows and topics change as one topic reminds speakers of another. Others say thread hijacking is an awful thing and it is terribly annoying. Well, this thread is going to stay on topic: thread hijacking! Few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good example.

Recently, there have been a number of complaints about the way threads on this forum get hijacked and morph into something completely unrelated to the original thread title.

Some say it's just the way normal conversation flows and topics change as one topic reminds speakers of another. Others say thread hijacking is an awful thing and it is terribly annoying.

Well, this thread is going to stay on topic: thread hijacking!
 
"Few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good example." - Mark Twain

Most of the time, I don't mind hijacks and tend to join in...I guess some think it annoying when on a serious topic...I can see that...
 
I am easy going upbeat, bubbly person and since threads are like every day conversation and CHEF SUCCESS is so fun to be on and easy going, it is sometimes impossible to stay on topic with us. We just get cracking jokes or laughing or making comments about something totally unrelated. It is why I love this place soooooo much! If the threads just stayed boring..none of us would be here...LOLOLOL!

I love your Mark Twain quote!

And this is definitely a thread for me!
I agree with JilleySue - it's the same way a converstion between any friends would flow.....one thing leads to another...which leads to another.....I find it amusing to see where threads end up! (and love helping them get there!;) )
 
So, how do I get the free receipts that were mentioned in my changeover box? I've thrown out all the paperwork...

Surely, you can't be serious.
 
Way to go KG!:D We were typing at the same time....I think for sure it has to be Ann's sense of humor - trying to hijack the hijack thread....
 
Don't call me Shirley!

(Thanks for the set-up!)

I, Rae Bates, confess that I am guilty of thread hi-jacking. I further confess that I feel no remorse whatsoever for my crimes. After all, that's how my mind works. One thing just triggers another. (For an example of how this works, please see The Official Continuing Discussion of American Humor thread entry about Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.)

The only time I mind it at all is when I want to retrieve information from a thread and can't remember the original topic of the thread in question.

Ok Good...I am glad some of you feel the same as I. I feel quite competent that I can rummage thru the thread and find what I need and don't need to crab about the topic vearing off. I think it's funny and it's why I like coming here. STEAL AWAY!! It cracks me up.

I do try to stay on track in the "serious" areas of CS. But in the Lounge, all bets are off! At least once the initial question is answered or hugs given.

And that's why there is a search function, anyway!

The first day after Christmas,
My true love and I had a fight.
So I chopped the pear tree down
And burned it, just for spite.
Then with a single cartridge
I shot that blasted partridge
My true love gave to me.

The second day after Christmas
I pulled on the old rubber gloves.
And very gently wrung the necks
Of both the turtle doves
My true love gave to me.

The third day after Christmas
My mother caught the croup.
I had to use the three French hens
To make some chicken soup.

The four calling birds were a big mistake
For their language was obscene.
The five gold rings were completely fake
And they turned my fingers green.

The sixth day after Christmas
The six laying geese wouldn't lay.
I gave the whole darn gaggle to
The ASPCA.
The seventh day what a mess I found:
All seven of the swimming swans had drowned!

The eighth day after Christmas,
Before they could suspect,
I bundled up the
Eight maids a-milking,
Nine ladies dancing,
Ten lords a-leaping,
'Leven Pipers piping,
Twelve drummers drumming
(well, actually, I kept one of the drummers)
and sent them back collect.
I told my true love,
"We are through, love."
And I said in so many words,
"Furthermore, your Christmas gifts
Are for the birds!"

(I have a recording of my choir singing this if anyone wants a copy.)

I had to travel to Denver this week and ran into my first husband who I haven't seen in about 10 years! Well,,, I've been happily abstaining from sex or relationships for at least 2 years, but I couldn't help myself... I feel like I've lost my virginity!!! But the kisses were the BEST part! Anyhow, now I can't seem to quit thinking about the guy and I can't seem to get any work done. Life was easier when I was abstaining!
