Hijack this thread!

When you feel yourself wandering off topic, don't hijack someone else's thread. Hijack this one instead, so they can all be in the same place! Just another great feature of the SKMB!:laugh:

But where's the fun in that?
Thread jacking at times is fun to see. I get some of my best laughs reading posts that don't belong in a thread.

Seriously, the Abortion thread for me was the best.
I discovered a lot about ice cream and fruit in that one!

So this thread is for hickackers? I like that, as I have always been careful not to hikack topics on other forums. Sometimes we get carried away, and mods have a hard time putting everybody back on topic. I like the idea of an hijacking quad. :grinning:

I just wanted to say that I'm still waiting for my copy of Blockade Billy to come in the mail. And I also wanted to say that I want the Montreal Canadiens hockey team winning their match tonight. If not, they'll be off the playoffs, and I don't want that to happen. :sad:

What is the fun in a thread where you are supposed to hijack..Is there terrorism involved?

[Bryan James]

It's a hobby. Sometimes I get tired of making sweetmagichoneydripping love to beautiful women (who are almost always natural females) and eviscerating aardvarks. So I threadjack.

I dig it.

I dig it because I own a shovel. It's a good one. Just got it. A real pine shaft, nicely lacquered with a good heft and grip. Some Chinese woman put a lot of care into this handle. I want to make her proud. When she retires to her rice and fish, I hope that she dreams what this shovel will do. The spade is sharp and thick, and that dang thing is attached by THREE bolts. You don't easily find that. Three. And they were all tight right off the rack. I had a coupon.

I got 10% off "ANY ONE ITEM."

So I upgraded on the shovel. Now it's time to make some work.

Dare you let me dig you? Dare not, lest ye be dug.

Traditional Armenian folk music as well as Armenian church music is not based on the European tonal system but on a system of tetrachords. The last note of one tetrachord also serves as the first note of the next tetrachord - making the scale on which a lot of Armenian folk music is more or less based a theoretically endless scale.

But on the other hand, as a philosophy, dialectical materialism holds that nature is the sole reality, that the material world exists independently of our perceptions, and that the properties of living and thinking organisms are novel qualities of highly complex material systems.

OR

Kant suggested that metaphysics can be reformed through epistemology.[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kant#cite_note-1) He suggested that by understanding the sources and limits of human knowledge we can ask fruitful metaphysical questions. He asked if an object can be known to have certain properties prior to the experience of that object. He concluded that all objects about which the mind can think must conform to its manner of thought. Therefore if the mind can think only in terms of causality – which he concluded that it does – then we can know prior to experiencing them that all objects we experience must either be a cause or an effect.

Quantum mechanics is essential to understand the behavior of systems at atomic length scales and smaller. For example, if classical mechanics governed the workings of an atom, electrons would rapidly travel towards and collide with the nucleus, making stable atoms impossible. However, in the natural world the electrons normally remain in an uncertain, non-deterministic "smeared" (wave–particle wave function) orbital path around or through the nucleus, defying classical electromagnetism.

"Hijacking a thread"? Am I supposed to put on Groucho Marx glasses, grab my Glock 3000B auto-whammy water pistol and storm into the local sewing shop? Once there, I herd the owner and her elderly cronies into the backroom-interuppting their gossip circle round the pot-bellied stove as they spit Metamucil into a nearby chamber pot...take up my position near the spools and read my list of demands? Wonder what those would be? "Pull my finger, NOW!", "You want fries with that DON'T YOU?", "Please pull around-NOW DAMMIT!" and "I want 20 fives in 3 minutes or the thimbles get it!!!!":biggrin2:

:laugh: More like--here we go again. :smile2: But to keep on track with the thread topic, I have just sent Jordan instructions for opening a new Forum for Hot Topics complete with rules and suggestions for debate so that hopefully we will be able to discuss more of the hot button issues in a respectful manner and they will be in their own forum rather than mingled in with the Chattery Teeth topics. That way anyone who wants to avoid the debates will know to avoid that forum. I like fluff as much as the next person, but don't mind having more controversial topics as long as everyone can....repeat after me....agree to disagree and debate with respect not personal attacks.

Speaking of hijacking...well, it's not really hijacking, but just heard on The Fox Report that they are diverting a plane on its way from Paris to Atlanta to Bangor because of an "unruly passenger". I guess I should be more upset (with myself) that my fear is that the local Fox affiliate reporter doesn't embarrass his/her self doing a report for national news. :blush: If it's anything like past experience with planes they divert here, though, the unruly passenger has probably just had a bit too much to drink.

Here us another bomb threat to an airline:

*
Live: Plane Diverted to PTI

GREENSBORO N.C. (WGHP) - Continental Airlines flight 3006 from Houston en route to Washington Dulles Airport landed at PTI Wednesday morning after a bomb threat was made onboard, a spokesperson with the FAA said.

The plane landed safely at 10:43 a.m. and it taxied to a remote location where it was met by local law enforcement, according to The Transportation Security Administration.

According to the TSA, the threatening note was written on a mirror inside the plane's bathroom.

Arlene Salac with the FAA said the plane is an Embraer 145, a small regional aircraft.

According to Stephanie Freeman, a spokesperson for the airport, the passengers have been unloaded and are safe in the airport's fire station. The Greensboro News and Record reports there were 45 people aboard the plane.

Stay with MyFOX8.com for details on this developing story.

Statement from The Transportation Security Administration:

"The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is monitoring a situation on board Continental Airlines flight 3006 from Houston Intercontinental Airport (IAH) to Washington Dulles Airport (IAD). Out of an abundance of caution the flight was diverted to Piedmont Triad International Airport Greensboro (GSO) due to a threatening message written on a lavatory mirror. The plane safely landed at GSO at approximately 10:43 a.m. EDT. The plane taxied to a remote location where it was met by local law enforcement. "

You have met Christopher Walken?? I am extremely jealous now.
SK was bad enough, but I accept that since you work for him.
This new development has seriously wounded me.

"Weapon of Choice" is one of my fave vids, he is amazing in it. :cool2:

Just a phone conversation, not a face-to-face. He was one of the people Steve wanted to have as a reader for the Nightmares & Dreamscapes audiobook. Sorry, I can't remember which story and am too lazy to dig out the file. :blush: He was going to do it but then had a scheduling conflict so had to pass.

Did Steve ever consider asking Morgan Freeman to be a reader for any of his tales, Ms Mod?

Not that I recall.

Seeing him dance is right up there along with his introducing himself to me as Chris Walken. Nearly couldn't concentrate on the rest of the conversation because thinking of him as "Chris" seemed so incongruous. :oo:

oooomg, well I remember you posting this vid before but I didnt catch that you met him :wow: ,


and I had to look incongruous up, lol, how huge your list of celebrity encounters must really be ...

Has Walken ever done any work that stuck to the script? He's like a sarcasmically unchallenged John Coltrane riffmaster o'Theater.

Morgan Freeman is a great actor, but if I was to listen to an audiobook reading by him I would possibly--definitely--fall asleep.
His voice is very soothing, would relax me far too much.

If you have been on the "Maury" show 6 times and still can't find your baby's daddy-throw in the towel already.
If anyone ever asks you to go on the "Jerry Springer" show- save yourself the time and trouble-punch him/her and get it over with. Nothing good will come of the show.
I don't watch these shows but just the promos are sooooo bad.

Dang, I really shoudln`t start more threads, for a while anyway, so instead of highjacking Sigmunds thread about computer lingo ( since the inspiration came from that one ), I`ll hijack this one.

So, any new urban terms that you guys are willing to share?

Like, for instance, " flip a bitch".
Flipping a bitch is making an illeagal U-turn, usually done in the middle of a street or over a double line. Often times resulting in your passengers freaking out or sh!tting their pants. "rofl"

So, they don`t call it U-turn no more, but " flip a bitch".

Yes I felt he did a wonderful job there, but there was also a lot of action from other characters to break up his narration. I'm not criticising the guy, the fact his voice is soothing is a good thing.
Heck, let him record an audiobook...may help cure my insomnia for which I will be eternally grateful. :wink2:

I have been feeling really happy lately and I get goofy sometimes.(Sometimes?) If you feel like pranking someone, here's what I do. When someone calls my land line, instead of picking up the phone and saying "Hello", I pick up and say, "Can I talk to Frank?" The person who called ME get's confused and will start saying, "There's no Frank here", 'Wait a minute, I called YOU." (Check your caller ID and make sure you don't goof your Mom or Dad.)

I came into this thread because I wondered how one would go about hijacking a thread that, by its very nature, was pointless to begin with and quickly stumbled upon this post. As a Bruins fan watching my team gag away as 3-0 series lead, I was at least a little heartened to see Les Habitant usher Pittsburgh right out of the tournament on their own sheet. Being in a neutral television market, and as the league only has one national outlet, I was unable to watch the Bruins last two games because Versus, in its infinite wisdom, feels the need to expose anyone and everyone to Sid the Kid all day every day. It's enough already, with Sidney Crosby. With a fortunate bounce or two tomorrow night, perhaps our heroes will be meeting in the conference final next week.

Oh . . . and if there are any Philly fans in here . . . :glare:

[Pucker]

So this thread is for hickackers? I like that, as I have always been careful not to hikack topics on other forums. Sometimes we get carried away, and mods have a hard time putting everybody back on topic. I like the idea of an hijacking quad. :grinning:

I just wanted to say that I'm still waiting for my copy of Blockade Billy to come in the mail. And I also wanted to say that I want the Montreal Canadiens hockey team winning their match tonight. If not, they'll be off the playoffs, and I don't want that to happen. :sad:

If my last post didn't appear to make any sense (as seems likely enough), it is probably because I forgot to link it to this one.

I was in a dumb-ball, no-win debate one morning many years ago with a group of teenage writers. I'd had enough and finally stood up and said "Much adieu about nothing," and left the morning session.

I had a one-on-one lunch with James Dickey that afternoon. He had been watching the earlier discussion. I don't remember much of that day, or that Summer, but he told me something like, "You left well when you knew you had nothing left to say."

I try that, but I usually fail. But I try.

Here's something I didn't know but found interesting. It's a long article so I'll give you idea and you can hit on the link if you are interested.

The ‘Code’: Ten unwritten baseball rules you might not know

Last month, when A’s pitcher Dallas Braden (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/8014/) called out Alex Rodriguez (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/5275/) for cutting across the Oakland Coliseum mound (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/blog/big_league_stew/post/Dallas-Braden-blasts-A-Rod-for-breaking-unwritte?urn=mlb,236110), the country was informed of a small slice of baseball’s Code that had lain mostly dormant in recent memory.
It was only one of a litany of unwritten rules that covers major leaguers’ actions, designed essentially to preserve a baseline level of respect between competitors. They constitute the moral fabric of the game.
The best known of these rules tells players not to steal a base when their team holds a big lead in the late innings of a game. Others include barring overt displays of exuberance in all but the most extreme circumstances; the hitter who watches his own home runs is the most egregious of violators in this category.
Many fans have heard of these rules (Alex Rodriguez himself was unaware of one). Some sections of the Code, however, fly under the radar (even for baseball insiders, to judge by the number of people within the game who had never heard the rule about restraint from crossing the pitcher’s mound).
So, without further delay, here are 10 of baseball’s more obscure unwritten rules:
1. Don’t swing at the first pitch after back-to-back home runs
This is a matter of courtesy, respect for a pitcher who is clearly struggling, offering just a sliver of daylight with which to regain his senses. When Yankees rookie Chase Wright (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/8007/) gave up back-to-back-to-back-to-back homers against Boston in 2007, the guys who hit numbers three and four — Mike Lowell (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/6133/) and Jason Varitek (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/5921/) — each watched a pitch before taking a cut.
“Let him know, okay, I’m not swinging,” said Hal McRae. “I know you’re out there trying to do a job, and I have to do a job — but you’ve just given up back-to-back home runs. So I take the first pitch.”

Why do some people pronounce the fast food burger chain as "MACK-donalds"? There's no "a" between the M and the c. Is this a regional thing?

How do even hear a thing like that?

And how do you pronounce it if not m-a-c donald?

[Moderator]

m-i-c-k donald

[Kim L.]

m-i-c-k donald


My sister used to mispronounce Burger King "Bobo Ding;" I still call it that.

[Srbo]

m-i-c-k donald

I`m still not getting it.

As in Mike?
As in Mick ( Jagger) ?

Every time I hear it, it sounds like M-a-c-k to me.

Gotta listen closer next time...

We must speak a different version of English here in Canada then, I`ve never heard anyone saying it like that...
Thankee anyway.:)

m-i-c-k donald

Or, as the human larvae down here pronounce it, "MAK DANNOW, MAK DANNOW!!!"

[Suzana]

okay, NOW I'm confused... LOL

Isn't Mc an abbreviation for MAC?

And how are we supposed to say it? :eek2:

[Bryan James]

Who cares? Burger King is better.

[fushingfeef]

This is hilarious, because my little sister used to mispronounce Wendy's as "Wingeys" and to this day I still call it "Wingeys"!

That is funny Srbo, you guys really call it MACK-Donalds? That confirms my suspicion that it's a regional thing.

You can always just imagine Sean Connery calling it "mcQH-DONNALLLLS!" Make sure you either have a wad of paper towels handy or the window rolled down when you take Sir Sean on a fast food run.

My last name begins with "Mc" and I pronounce it "Mick". But in college people gave me the nickname of "Mack". But my Italian friend has often referred to me as a dirty, drunken "Mick" (all in good fun, of course).

I think it is pronounced Mickey Dee's..That seems to cover it for me.

LOL I am married to one of those dirty drunken Micks! Our last name is only 5 letters long, starts with an O and you wouldn't believe how many people mispronounce it! Hopefully something starting with Mc they'd be able to say a little easier.

So, how do you say her name - Sarah Mclachlan?

I know SHE says M-A-C lachlan, don`t tell me you guys say M-I-C-K lachlan...:)

[#1fanofking]

Wow that is pretty gay sounding you know...but that's ok....So wanna talk about Peguins?

[fushingfeef]

Ironically that is my last name (slightly different spelling, "McLaughlin"). And I pronounce it as Bryan spelled it out phonetically. Not sure if I'm a hillbilly but if you have to ask yourself that question, then you probably are...

I went to school for 12 years with a girl named O'Loughlin. For almost all of those years, everybody pronounced her name "O Loff Lin" and she never had a problem with this. At some point in our juinior year in high school (I don't know this, but I'm guessing it coincided with her discovery of Leon Uris), she suddenly insisted that everyone pronounce her name "O Lock In," and would act offended if we didn't.

I also used to watch a cartoon when I was very young called "Mr. Wizard." Mr. Wizard was a wizard (just imagine) who would send his friend Turtle (a turtle, in case you couldn't guess) on adventures that would teach him lessons usually based on the idea that you should be careful what you wish for. The show alwasy ended with Mr. Wizard telling Turtle, "Alvays be vot you iz, Turtle, not vot you iz not. Volks vot do diss, iz de happiest lot."

These two things may or may not be related.

This probably going to touch some nerves-but It is kinda annoying people who hyphenate their names..Either be one or the other.

Thank you. It was that guy from ZZ Top (I thought I was imagining it) and it was on "Bones" but he positively said "demolished" not diminished. I thought maybe it was an inside joke with musicians, guiarists or ZZ enthusiasts.

While The SKMB was closed I would get log on to visit the social groups and I would check the who's online list. What was curious and baffling (to me) was that the board would say, for example, 18 members X Guests. But when I would count the members online there would only be like 14 names. Just a few minutes ago, I looked at the online list and it said there were 35 members but I counted manes and there were only 31 members names before I got to a guest, MS Bot, etc. What does that mean?

[Moderator]

My guess is that the "extra" Members are signed on in Invisible Mode so you would not see their names listed but they're included in the totals. I currently see 4 members who are signed on in Invisible Mode. And, yes, I see all the names.....mwahhahaha :smile2:

[Sigmund]

How do you make yourself invisable? Why do you make yourself invisable? (I was wondering 'cause we had a "lurker' thread and it was discussed. But there are actual SKMB members who choose to go invisable and the rest of the board wouldn't know they were about?)

[Moderator]

Go to Settings (top right next to Log Out). On that page look on the left column under My Settings>My Account>General Settings. At the top of that page are Login and Privacy Settings and if you click Invisible Mode On, you can read and post but no one (except Moderators) know you're logged in. I do it after hours when I want to be able to read posts and/or answer messages without having people know I'm around to ask questions. No offense to anyone--it just allows me to get a little more done that way.

The first child abuse case was sucessfully prosecuted thanks to the ASPCA. The child was physically abused, negleccted and malnouriched. The police couldnt intervene because there were no child abuse laws. The ASPCA claimed children were part of the animal kingdom and must be protected under the animal cruelty laws. The child was removed.

[fushingfeef]

That's amazing, Sig! I never heard that before. Hopefully the laws have changed since then!

You have heard the saying," Rule of thumb," Women were also considered "property" of their father or husband. They could treat women basically anyway the man deemed-with one caveat-they could not beat the woman with a stick thicker than their thumb.

Yup, my laptop seems ready to implode on itself any day now.
Keeps cutting out on me, and the screen goes this weird multicoloured mess and freezes up.
Haven't a clue how it's happened but it's pissing me off. :sad:

[blunthead]

My computer needs a new system. I have a disc. I hesitate, however, due to fear of change. I think there are times we come upon in life, which, at first hint, and then suggest, and then finally demand change. By the time life actually demands change, we may begin to see, as if in a vision, that it will be good. We'll like that, and smile.

Meanwhile, I gather data, make copies, pray.

I am really excited about The Last Excorcism coming out soon-August 27th! It looks scary

http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/lions_gate/thelastexorcism/

And the movie "11 11 11" is being made based on the 11 11 Phenomenon (and supposedly on "true" events)

http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE67I10920100819

BTW did you know that in Bloody Disgusting.com 16 Creepiest Kids list there are 3 ( or is it 4 ?) of SK movie kids ? Cool!

We get nailed before getting to the actual Fair. Ten dollars to park. (And here's something to ponder-why is it when you make hot dogs at home they are just a quick "lazy" meal but, when you go to the movies, basketball game or the Fair, etc. they become magical, delicious and wonderful at five dollars each? :eek2: )

You work with or around a group of people, you asscociate with groups of people at school, clubs, PTA , whatever. And everyone talks to each other and seem to get along, then you get that one person. You know, that person who talks, and jokes and smiles at everyone. That person comes over and starts a conversation and within a minute or two that person is telling you about "Joe" who drinks, "Jane" who is "easy", "Jack" who has money problems and "Sue" who has a gambling problem. And that person is telling you all this in a whisper, letting you in on the scoop, 'cause well, you are good people and can trust you. Then that guy goes on and talks to Joe, Jane, Jack and Sue, big grin, smile, hand-shake. And you know he talks about you behing your back, also.
Do they not think they will be found out.? That we will not all see what s/ he is?
The last time that person, a female, finished telling me all the gossip ( I wanted her to run herself down so I could have her full attention) I looked her straight in the eye and asked her, "What do you tell other people about me?" She hemned and hawed turned three shades of red. I was afraid she would bust a neck vein. I walked away and she never spoke to me again. Mission accomplished.

I've asked people this many times...I always point out how I would hate to hear what they say about me when I'm not around. Unfortunately in the past I have known the things which have been said.

When I was younger, and pretty, I used to come up against a lot of bitchiness. And I was always very nice to everyone so could never understand it. Any time I spoke to a guy, especially at work, I was always "dating" them. Which was strange since I worked in a hospital--had a boyfriend who worked there--and had to speak to men as part of my job. I wouldn't mind but I am possibly one of the biggest prudes around, and believe in love and having sex with the person you love, so have never been a tart. People really are strange and usually bitch about others because they are missing something in their own life. Or purely because of jealousy.

Does anyone remember this game? It was a heartbreaker! I remember all the guys in the family room yelling and mumbling curses. Others holding their heads in disbelief. I remember it felt like a kick in the gut. I don't remember whom we were rooting for but a bad call is a bad call and you don't "win" when there was a HUGE error that allowed you to win. It has an eight minute video and you can count along and if you aren't careful you'll miss it.
If you haven't heard about it, save yourself some pain and don't read it or watch it.

Sadly, this year's Red Sox team has played its final game.
Terry's Rays are out of it. It's up to Texas now
To beat up R.J.'s Yankees, though I just cannot see how.

I hope your Giants make it to the Series and they win
Since (this year) the games are ones my Sox aren't playing in.
And, by now, I think I've made it absolutely clear
Any team that plays the Yankees is the team I cheer.
