I figured I'd start this thread to talk about how to properly hijack a thread. That way we can make sure useless chatter is in a place we can all ignore. Please make sure all posts deal with the topic of hijacking threads.
Has anybody found a way to have Logos Suggest books to purchase based upon your current reading habits?
habits
Talking about habits, I'd love a book on the history of ecclesiastical vestments.

Good idea. Investment strategies....I don't think there are many resources on that in the Logos library.
By the way, I would like to report a bug. Damian bugs me.

Speaking of strategies, are there any good resources on the ancient art of warfare? [:P]
I wonder how you delete a thread (along with the post count)!
You'll have to ask an MVP!
Does anyone know how to sow
I'm not sure, but I hear it has something to do with putting seeds in the ground
Perhaps you should let someone else count threads and worry about deleting the post in your own post!!
See Matt. 19
Does anyone know how to sow?
Run a passage guide on Matthew 13
Does anyone know how to sow I'm not sure, but I hear it has something to do with putting seeds in the ground
Anyone remember the name of that guy who was cursed for spilling his seed on the ground?
along with the post count
Why count after the fact?
I'm lazy, I prefer to walk.
Speaking of golfers, I think Camp Logos should forgo the Cruise this year and have a Camp Logos Golfing extravaganza.
Run a passage guide on Matthew 13 I'm lazy, I prefer to walk.
Well, maybe you can walk the walk, but can you talk the talk? We are supposed to Christians after all....
Can't... they're busy posting on this thread.

Now you know my powers!
Back in Indiana they raise a lot of sows and boars.

This kind of run-on thread really boars me. But Indiana Jones is really exciting!
Gerda.... there was someone who knew how to hijack a thread... [:)]
I had a flat tire last night and had to change it in the cold. Burrr!
Burrr!
Why do you always have to bring up Alexander Hamilton??? Good grief!!!
Burrr
That's my Senator. Don't pick on him

O man.....can't believe you brought that up.

Philip,
Is your plan working?

Well obviously we're not ignoring it. But this lets us get the silliness out of our systems so we don't hurl it on unsuspecting others in threads where they asked serious questions. And the number of posts thus far shows that between us we have a lot of silliness in our systems. "I'm not prepared to pursue my line of inquiry any further as I think this is getting too silly."

poor Jill. Jack getting a greeting and Jill is broke.
You know, Philip, Jill might be a good source for ideas about your Thomas problem.
That whole pail of water up the hill thing sure did a number on Jack.
You have to admit she is pretty good at what she does.
Just a thought.

Excellent idea! Hey Thomas, are you married? If not I have a date for you.
"Hi Jack"
"Why is every body always picking on me"
Jack (feeling like Charlie Brown)
Unfortunately this thread has gotten WAY off topic, personally I blame Damian, and Chris, and George, and... well it doesn't matter.
The proper way to hijack a thread is to wait until your spouse is just about ready to get it through the sewing needle, and just at the crucial moment make sure that you sneeze or make a sudden movement that will be certain to startle her. Of course be prepared to duck if you do this.
Pardon me while I go find the ice pack.
Hey, don't I get any credit? I was approved for a Visa card way back in 19xx and have proven myself credit-worthy ever since then.

You need an ice pack for a needle puncture wound? That must be some big darn(ing) needle!
Reminds me of that Christmas song.
"Oh, I needle little Christmas. Right this very minute."
I'm the only one who has desperately and continuously tried to drag this thread back on topic.
I resent the implication that I ma no good at thread hijacking... Have you seen the video???????
For lack of a better place to post this ... thought I would post it here.
I hope it formats properly. Everything should be centered.
The Beauty of Mathematics and the Love of God! This is TOO cool!
Just the math part is good enough, the end is even better.
I bet you will NOT be able to read it without sending it on to at least one other person!

Mind Boggling...
Now, take a look at this... 101% From a strictly mathematical viewpoint: What Equals 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?We have all been in situations where someone wants you to
GIVE OVER 100%... How about ACHIEVING 101%? What equals 100%in life? Here's a little mathematical formula that might help answer these questions: If: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Is represented as: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26. Then: H-A-R-D-W-O- R- K 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98% And: K-N-O-W-L-E- D-G-E 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96% But: A-T-T-I-T-U- D-E 1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100% THEN, look how far the love of God will take you: L-O-V-E-O-F- G-O-D 12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101% Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that: While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top! If you find this interesting share it with your friends & loved ones.
Have a nice day & God bless you
Do we have to stop now that there is something of actual value on this thread?
Oh no, please don't stop now......
No, this is the perfect time to hijack it again.
But I have to go make dinner.
Wow! We have all been seriously upstaged.
Praiser, thank you for hijacking this thread with that mind-boggling mathematical beauty. I have to interject one of my favorite quotes here (it was the quote I chose for under my picture in my high school year book): "Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty." (Bertrand Russell). Russell was a famous atheist, but even he couldn't help himself in acknowledging the existence of supreme beauty in mathematics, which we know can only come from God.
Now please, someone hijack this thread back so that we don't get too fixed on a single topic for too long and get rusty in our hijacking skills...
I am not really following this anagram stuff. It kind of leaves me empty.
Sort of a hollowgram.

How to hijack your own posts:
Does anybody else see the similarities between
MJ Smith's avatar & Led Zepplin's Stairway To Heaven album cover?
Just killing time awaiting the next 12 Days of Logos sale....
Let's get this back on target people!
I figured I'd start this thread to talk about how to properly hijack a thread.
I've recently discovered that thread hijacking is greatly helped by saying something stupid when you're really tired, thus hurting someone's feelings. With little or no effort you can take a thread permanently off course with this method.
[y]
Sigh.
I absolutely can't help myself.
No, I haven't read all 21 pages of post - but I have read enough to know this thread could be used in a great way to develop a curriculum for a college level course called "Philosophy of Social Media Psychology."
I just couldn't "hep'it"

Then you get a pass...
If you had read none then you'd receive a perfect score...
Anyone else notice that it's getting harder and harder to post something totally useless?
That's some solid theology in my book.
Step 1 - 11 more to go!!

As long as this thread is active it keeps the weirdos (like dan [<:o)]) from playing in the streets.
Have a safe and happy weekend everybody. Pray that 2010 will see the gospel message carried to every corner of the globe.
Happy new year.
I see you all using this thread to boost your post count. We should start a thread to discuss how those with very high post counts need to be more humble than those with less lower post counts so that they will not somehow hurt the conscious of the lower post count persons. I will be posting frequently on this very issue until my post count is such that I will have to stop posting.
conscious
I think you may be grossly overestimating the contributors to this thread.
I am almost certain George isn't conscious.

Speaking of thread counts, I prefer Bed sheets with at least a 600. They are more comfy then those low quality Walmart 300 thread count sheets.

Received my logos 4 disk in the mail, but can’t figure out how to make it work on my TI-99 or on my Commodore 64.
Also question; will the iphone app. Work with my Sinclair?
Getting back to the OP's original question (after 23 pages), the way to properly hijack a thread is to bring up ideas that have been brought up in the OP's original post, or in one of the following posts, and then to use those ideas to springboard to another sometimes similar, but often very different idea, in doing this hijacking it is often helpful to say "sorry to hijack your thread, but since someone brought it up ..."
Hijacking is also usually much easier to accomplish if you are adept at run-on sentences, and, commas, because, you, can, put in the OP's ideas, and then flow them, into your ideas and thoughts in just one long sentence just by using a comma, or some other, form of sentence structure, that helps to build sentences correctly for a modern world that often does not understand the need for proper sentence structure that is not taught well in the educational system of many countries.
I hope this helps.
I see that you like commas. This makes me think about something. What do you think of the possibility of using comets during long space flights as a source of water?
just by using a comma,
[:|] Your post, has made me, commatose.
comets
What about Dander & Blitzer?
Anyway, didn't we just have Christmas?
It's Donner and Blitzen. Now don't get my dander up, or I'll blitz you! [;)]
Your post, has made me, commatose.
You can get a brace like this to correct that problem of comma-shaped toes:
