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.

I feel guilty about wanting to be distracted. How weird is that? I'm really excited about NC, but my emotions are all mixed up at the moment ...

And Becky, I take issue with the potato salad thing ... I think MINE is the best ever ;) Maybe we should have a potato salad cook off ... that would up the meaningless drivel factor for the day :rolleyes:

For me - my DH says its the best he's ever had - even better than my MIL's.....so that's enough for me!:D :D :D

Nah - my mom was actually a really good cook.

It would make you married to my husband's brother.

I suspect I could handle you either way, though :D

To my DH's family, "Ethnic" Food is spaghetti or pizza.......they never want to try the foods I bring to get-togethers!One time, I made Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes for Thanksgiving, with a struesal topping - and no one would try them because they didn't have marshmallows on top! I married the only member of the family who will try something new...basically because he has to, or he'd starve!:D

Try this one...my friend's dad died when she was 13.

In her 20's she married another friend of mine...2 years later his mom dies...

2 years after that his dad marries her mom.

Now Max (their 1st child) is his own cousin...they are brother and sister-in-law...and well you know...the story goes on...

And no KG, they are from Racine, not Crandon!

I'm My Own Grandpa
Lyrics: Dwight Latham, Moe Jaffe
Music: Dwight Latham, Moe Jaffe

Played by Jerry Garcia with David Grisman

Oh, many, many years ago
When I was twenty-three
I was married to a widow
Who was pretty as can be
This widow had a grown-up daughter
Who had hair of red
My father fell in love with her
And soon the two were wed

This made my dad my son-in-law
And changed my very life
For my daughter was my mother
'Cause she was my father's wife
To complicate the matter
Though it really brought me joy
I soon became the father
Of a bouncing baby boy

This little baby then became
A brother-in-law to Dad
And so became my uncle
Though it made me very sad
For if he was my uncle
Then that also made him brother
Of the widow's grown-up daughter
WHo of course is my step-mother

Chorus
I'm my own grandpa
I'm my own grandpa
It sounds funny I know
But it really is so
Oh, I'm my own grandpa

My father's wife then had a son
Who kept them on the run
And he became my grandchild
For he was my daughter's son
My wife is now my mother's mother
And it makes me blue
Because although she is my wife
She's my grandmother too

Now if my wife is my grandmother
Then I'm her grandchild
And every time I think of it
It nearly drives me wild
For now I have become
The strangest case you ever saw
As husband of my grandma
I am my own grandpa

[chorus]
