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.

Oh dear gawd!! I am gone away from this site one month too long!!! It will take me WEEKS to catch up with everything!!

LOL well as for the quote above... (I am only on page 2 of 14 of this thread...) so here in Newfoundland we have our own creative language. So creative in fact that we have our own dictionary and she's a good 3 inches thick!!! I was walking to work one morning the week and as I passed by one of the many interesting gift shops downtown on Water Street, I saw the funniest thong in the window. On the front of it (well the only full piece of fabric) it said and I will quote it in Newfouneze "De Arse Is Gone Right Outta Her"!!! he ehee!! I just about cracked right there on the street!

Anyway, thought I would share that with you all!! I want to get in on this thread hijacking thing too :)

Ok, I actually miss Drive-Ins...they would have "one price" car nights at the one in Kenosha...we'd put people in the trunk and go there... Also, having a '77 Dodge Maxi-Van was a hit - we could fit SOOOO many people in that, then we'd get there and take up a few parking spots, pull blankets out and lay on the roof and the seats out and sit next to the van... (For the nights when you went as a group and not on a "date")

KG...do you remember the one in Kenosha? Or the one in S. Milwaukee? I think it was on 76th street...or 100th...somewhere around there?
 
  • #212
We still have one at a nearby town. In the summers, a volunteer fire dept up in the boonies puts a movie on the back of the station wall every Fri night. They sell hot dogs and hamburgers and make a ton of money from all of us in town. Even though you're on a blanket or lawn chair instead of in a car, it still has the "drive-in" feel. Fun!

I have totally skipped over this thread and can't believe what I was missing. I have been laughing so hard it hurts.

I didn't believe we have thongs now. I might have to buy some for conference! LOL :D

It's a good thing I haven't read this at work, I might get in trouble for taking CS breaks 10-15 times a day!!

No, I was a north side kid. One of the very best dates of my life was at the Victory on Lisbon Road at Pilgrim (they're building a huge church there now) and we often went to the Starlight on Highway 145 at Bradley Road. The Starlight is just gone.

The biggest was on the south side, the 41 Twin on Highway 41 (27th Street, now Hwy 241) was made into a quad before it closed. It is now a campus of Northwestern Mutual Life.

The 59 Drive-in was on National Avenue in New Berlin. The screen came down in a tornado about 20 years ago ad the next day, the marquee read, "GONE WITH THE WIND." It is now a condo development. Hales Corners had the 24 Drive-in on Janesville Road. It was there last time I went that way but that was a long time ago.

May the Schwartz be with you.

(There's some great Schwartz lines from Blazing Saddles but entirely in poor taste when used out of context.)

That's another favorite.

It's not Puke, it's Barf. Short for Barfolomew.

I'll have the cleavage...er, special.

I always have coffee before radar! (We used that one as a caption of for a pic of DH in his Darth Vader costume at a party. We're trying to figure how we can inexpensively modify the costume to be Dark Helmet this year.)

I'm surrounded by Assoles!

I guess it has.

DH and I can have whole conversations that are nothing but quotes from The Simpson's. And, of course, one of our parrots will have a conversation about that:
Beaker: D'oh!
Dan: Who says D'oh?
Beaker: Homer
Dan: What else does Homer say?
Beaker: woo-hoo!

Now this thread is getting to be a parroty of itself.

Beaker's favorite sound to make this week is "meow." So we've been calling her Catbird.
She also belches.

I'd like to know where to find one of those stuffed birds. That would be a good prop for a trade show for the 30 Minute Chicken Show or even for the roasting pan.

One of my college roommates made one for a play. She used pantyhose, so it was golden brown. It was hilarious.

Find a seamstress/dollmaker at a craft show and ask if she could make one.

BTW- sometimes floral wholesalers have fake food that looks really good on SA for fairs and show displays. My SD frequently has some as the raffle prize at our montly meetings.
