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 think KG wins the spelling bee. Pee Wee's last name is spelled Rubins according to some googled sites. Take a bow, KG!

YES!

The song was written by Bob Dylan but recorded by a Brit group called Manfred Mann, the keyboard player. Manfred Mann also recorded Blinded By The Light that was written by Bruce Springstein.

Everybody's building the big ships and the boats,
Some are building monuments,
Others, jotting down notes,
Everybody's in despair,
Every girl and boy
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,
Everybody's gonna jump for joy.
Come all without, come all within,
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn.I like to do just like the rest, I like my sugar sweet,
But guarding fumes and making haste,
It ain't my cup of meat.
Everybody's 'neath the trees,
Feeding pigeons on a limb
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,
All the pigeons gonna run to him.
Come all without, come all within,
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn.A cat's meow and a cow's moo, I can recite 'em all,
Just tell me where it hurts ya, honey,
And I'll tell you who to call.
Nobody can get no sleep,
There's someone on everyone's toes
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,
Everybody's gonna wanna doze.
Come all without, come all within,
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn.

Please, let's not get started on Al Gore...whose son, btw was apparently arrested for possession of marijuana and prescription pills when he was pulled over. Blame it all on global warming (or Cobalt Warning, as my 6-year-old says!).

Of course, given the circumstances of the arrest, and the hands being not visible, you'd think he would at least have a smile on his face. :rolleyes:
