The time has come to take action against thread hijackers.
Let me begin with an example of thread hijacking:
Like most Freepers, I am pro-life. Abortion and and euthanasia appall me, and marketing the results even more so. I support candidates who oppose the culture of death, and cheer when it is thwarted.
I also do not find it necessary to mention these facts on EVERY. FREAKING. THREAD.
There is a certain type of Freeper, though, who has no such restraint. For these zealots, any thread that deviates from the pro-life cause, no matter how trivially, is a heresy that must be immediately suppressed.
You are shocked by cruelty to animals? I guess that means you couldn't care less about the cruelty of THE MILLIONS OF CHILDREN ABORTED EVERY YEAR!!!!!
You lost a beloved pet? Why can't you mourn THE THOUSANDS OF ABORTED BABIES WHO DIED THE SAME DAY?!!!!
Your car shredded its transmission and you're looking at thousands of dollars in repairs? Why aren't you thinking about THE BABIES WHO WILL NEVER GROW UP TO BE AUTO MECHANICS BECAUSE THEY WERE ABORTED?!!!!
(OK, maybe I made that last one up.)
Arguing with these people is pointless. It's the same principle as wrestling with a pig - you just get muddy and the pig enjoys it. Similarly, trying to convince them that they are being rude is a waste of time - THE CAUSE is far more important little things like courtesy and respect.
So, what can we do about it?
We can get drunk.
I hereby propose The Thread Hijack Drinking Game. The rules are simple: When a poster tries to hijack an unrelated thread to his or her pet cause, you 1) reply to the hijack attempt by quoting the text in question, followed by the word "DRINK!", and 2) Take a drink (or any volume) of your favorite beverage (alcoholic or non-alcoholic). Moderation is suggested on animal cruelty threads to avoid alcohol poisoning.
This game will not, I admit, solve the thread hijacking problem. But after a certain number of attempts we will no longer care.
And if anyone is offended by my little proposal, I can only say...
DRINK!
Sonya Thomas hold the female record for 45 hot dogs in 12 minutes.
This year a Japanese woman won by 38 dogs. Men and women are separate.
Chestnut holds the worlds record for 69 dogs in 12 minutes but he didn’t win this year.
( I had to google this info)
I once had a Black Russian cocktail and then tried to eat sushi for the first time, when I was in my late twenties. It did not end well and I never saw that date again, either.
I eat sushi with soda now, or iced tea. ( Snapple, not Long Island)
I’ve never had oysters.
That is going on my bucket list.
Gmta!
I’m doing laundry this week to swap out the summer clothes and winter clothes. I’m going from short sleeves to long sleeves.
And warmer nightgowns
Good for YOU! LOL!
I’m too late to go to the laundry room. I was busy taking out the trash and doing a little cleaning up and putting away a few things. So I will try to finish my filing.
I got a new file cabinet last week and have to put it together but I have to feel good, and my brain has to be working properly in order to follow instructions. I got a power screwdriver last year (two years ago?) so it should save on my muscles. Maybe I’ll start on that today.
Maybe you should charge up the power screwdriver before you start.
I did that two days ago...The light didn’t come on when I tested it, and that was a dead giveaway. So to speak. ;o]
Sure you have.
But we usually call them politicians...
Definitely one of Bubbles’ pride. Smarter than Randy Bobandy, you betcha.
The best way to put a chameleon on display is to set up an empty cage with a big label saying “Chameleon”.
No one has mentioned it’s Talk Like a Pirate Day.
I know you have a pirate on your about page here.
A pet rock would be smarter than Randy Bobandy.
Yeah, that’s what Corkie pulled on the new kids on the block after his chamelion died.
Yes..
That method guarantees that the chameleon will activate its cloaking device...
We usually left the Talk Like A Pirate Day to Dead Corpse, as he was so good at it.
So here! Have at it!!!

I wasn’t into new kids on the block.... I might have just missed them.,
I remember having crushes on David and Shaun Cassidy, Davy Jones, Bobby Sherman, and Paul Mc Cartney ( from Wings, then the Beatles)
I suspect today became Talk Like A Pirate Day because so many people were saying "Arrrrgh!" anyway.
uhh....I was talking about new neighbor children on my block in the early fifties.
You’re in an oldies state of mind?
