But we aren't in polite company, are we? It's just the usual suspects in here.The_Kitchen_Guy said:In polite company, you should say, "Bronx cheer."

chefann said:OK- now you're just asking for it. I have to share the dip story from DH's college days.
DH and his roommates rented a house in Flint for college. There were 5 of them living in the house - Geek central (2 EEs, an ME, a Management major and I think #5 was Software engineering). They noticed that potato chips and dip both came in 1-pound containers. Coincidence? They thought not.
One morning, DH sat down in the living room with a bag of chips and a container of onion dip. Lo and behold, even though each package was 1 pound, DH only used HALF of the chips to consume the dip. Point taken: purchase twice the poundage of dip as chips. Onion dip being dairy-based, it caused a certain side effect... gas. While watching TV a little later with a roommate who had just returned to the house (and had no idea that DH had done some snacking earlier), DH passed gas, and it had a rather unique aroma, not usually associated with that particular bodily function. Roommate looked up, sniffed, and said, "Dip. Do you want some dip?"
It only stands to reason - it WAS an engineering school.janetupnorth said:If I didn't know better, I'd SWEAR I went to school with some of them at MSOE!!!! The guys were so much like that! Too funny!
raebates said:Okay, I have to admit it. I like the dip story. :balloon:
The_Kitchen_Guy said:Wow - did this sucker crash and burn.
I must be the only one who has been getting the frantic "YIM is going away!" messages.
Glad I could entertain.raebates said:Hey, Ann, I told The Furry Guy the dip story. It made him laugh with sound. That's quite an accomplishment.
ChefBeckyD said:That one would be called a Bunsen Burner!
chefann said:I think I'm going to make the noodle skillet with chicken to take. Although the Apple-Berry salsa is also a good idea. I don't have a Sam's Club membership, though, and Costco doesn't carry cinnamon chips (I looked last weekend when I was there).
And, KG - I was thinking that as I posted earlier.
raebates said:Gee, and I thought a balanced diet was a brownie in each hand.
You know what Beaker says about that?The_Kitchen_Guy said:Greetings from Iowa - where what isn't corn is soybeans.
What isn't soybeans is hogs.
What isn't hogs is ethanol production plants.
What isn't an ethanol production plant is corn.
What was that, Beak?chefann said:You know what Beaker says about that?
CORN!
I recently drove through Iowa and must have just taken the corn roads. That and the "World's Largest Truck Stop". Of course I had to stop and check it out. Yep, it's large!The_Kitchen_Guy said:Greetings from Iowa - where what isn't corn is soybeans.

chefann said:No, they knew it already. This just confirmed it.
Didja ever see such a big gas station?BethCooks4U said:I recently drove through Iowa and must have just taken the corn roads. That and the "World's Largest Truck Stop". Of course I had to stop and check it out. Yep, it's large!
I know! It's really huge. And you could shop there for hours too. They even have games and a couple of eating places.The_Kitchen_Guy said:Didja ever see such a big gas station?
I'm sure the people at Little America want to fix that.
A thread hijacking occurs when the topic of a conversation in a forum thread shifts from the original subject to something completely unrelated.
There are a few reasons why threads may get hijacked. Sometimes, it's simply the natural flow of conversation as one topic leads to another. Other times, it may be due to a lack of moderation or enforcement of staying on topic. Some users may also intentionally hijack threads for attention or to disrupt the conversation.
Yes, thread hijacking is a common issue on forums. It can be frustrating for users who are genuinely interested in the original topic and can make it difficult for others to follow the conversation.
Moderation is key in preventing thread hijacking. Forum moderators should actively monitor threads and redirect the conversation back to the original topic if it veers off track. Setting clear guidelines for staying on topic can also help prevent thread hijacking.
If you notice a thread being hijacked, you can try politely redirecting the conversation back to the original topic. You can also flag the thread for moderation or report the issue to a forum moderator. It's important to remember to stay respectful and avoid engaging in any arguments or off-topic discussions.
