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.
I just want to be number 600 on this thread...
You missed it. Unless you count being the 600th person to reply to the original post.
Now...who's going to be poster #666? [:)]
Beaver in my pond
I have found that jalapenos help with that.
Or alligators but they can become a problem themselves if you aren't careful.
...Now I am going to hijack the thread... but I forgot what was the way how I wanted to do that [:(]
It is unbelievable you are still sitting here [:O]
Yes, I enjoy family occasions, too. I just had a lovely visit with my family, including my one-year-old nephew, over Christmas.
That is really funny, Rosie.
I have never heard of a nephew, named "over Christmas".
By the way, I have a minor complaint.
How many children under the age of 13 work for Logos full time, with retirement and benefits?
By the way, I have a miner complaint.
Yeah, I hate it too when those guys undermine my (admittedly very limited) authority.
By the way Dan, you look a little old to be a minor. Let me see your license and registration.
Or is it that minors are always asking you to buy Liquor-ice for them?

You may think I am old, but I am not. And I have an AARP card to prove it!
They do not ask me to by alcohol for them, but they keep saying to me, "What's up?" When I look, I do not see anything.
"What's up?"
[I] It's always sunny at 37,000 feet. [:D]
Speaking of autolocks... or was that dreaded autolocks? or dreadlocks?
Why was I posting anyway?
[A]
The question isn't why, but how "To post up effectively, physical size and strength is not enough, players posting up must be well schooled in the basic post moves."
But what does basketball have to do with conversation anyway?

I think that Bill's only problem, is that he has POST traumatic stress. But if you other people can get past the post, we can push the pest into a place of previous pestering.
How much is that doggie in the window? (That will probably date you.)
POST = Power On Self Test (a computer's pre-boot sequence, checking the hard disks, etc.)
No wonder he's got PTSD if he can't get past the POST.
if he can't get past the POST
If he can't get past the Post, he would never read the Times...
Are you referring to the signs of the times....
You mean this sign of the Times?

I'm WAY past that sign of the times... just head up to I-90, turn left (west), & when you get to Coeur D'Alene, ID, turn right (north). Don't let the 2800 miles in between throw you. Hang tough. After your last turn, look for more signs. (Or call.)
call
Strike Two
Pass 1000 posts, & look what happens?![8-|]
(Congratulations! Or condolences... your pick. Guess that was probably strike 3, huh? LOL)

I call 'em like I see 'em
Those glasses in your avatar look pretty thick.... you sure what you're seein'?[;)]
Besides, getting back on topic, New York Times Washington Post = What, anyway?
You could go short and write a put.
put
And we're back to golf....
No, that's putt-putt.
But I wonder what George meant by poking fun at your height. How does one go short, anyway.
How does one go short, anyway
In case some aren't familiar with this, it is a stock-trading term. There are puts and calls. When you write a put you are betting that the price of the stock will fall by a certain date and write a contract to sell (or put) a block of shares at a particular price on that date. If you think the price will fall, you can "go short" or write a contract to sell what you don't have with the idea of purchasing the stock on that date at a reduced price to sell at the agreed on price. You can lose your shirt doing that (maybe even your pants).

I've often thought my broker was out golfing when he should've been making us money. Maybe that's why the stock market crashed? All those putts?
Try to stay on track, George! [:P]
Putter there, Bill.....
Where are the Snowdens of yesteryear?
You can lose your shirt doing that (maybe even your pants).
A Caveman shouldn't need those anyway.
Those glasses in your avatar look pretty thick
I just wear those to look distinguished. Do you think they worked?
This kind of talk bugs me. Maybe I should start a collection. It looks like Logos is:
I'm gonna have to raid this place.
[quote]Where are the Snowdens of yesteryear?.
I think you mean snowshoes. A Caveman shouldn't need snowshoes. Of course, he shouldn't need puts and calls, either. Especially the females. Bad label: call girls.

So maybe you know those famous Norwegians from Minnesota Ollie and Lena. If you don't want them to be Norwegians, if that offends you, then they are Hittites from Minnesota, named Ollie and Lena.
Poor Ollie. His Lena died, don't ya know. So he calls the mortuary, "Yah," he says, "my Lena she died."
"Sorry to hear that Ollie."
"Yeah, she died. Can ya come and pick her up?"
"You betcha, Ollie," says the mortician, "where do you live?"
"Over on Eucalyptus," Ollie replies.
"Okay," says the mortician. "How do you spell it?"
There is a moment of silence on the phone. Finally Ollie says "How 'bout I drag her over to Oak and you pick her up there?"
I burn oak in my fireplace....good night....yea Dallas Cowboys
I burn oak in my fireplace. ...
You burn perfectly good oak??? I much prefer leaving my oak cants to spalt. Thereafter, I mount a hunk of it on one of my stable of wood lathes, turning off something totally impractical and "artistic" [allegedly]. However, I can recall, albeit only quite vaguely, the end result of piece or two - or ... ahem ... twenty or thirty or so, one loses count over the years, mind you - ultimately finding its way into the tinderbox.
What kind of raid are you talking about? An air raid? A can of raid? A raid HDD?
You burn perfectly good oak???
I know some people are known for sowing their wild oaks.
I prefer the oaks that you sprinkle brown sugar on. I do not know how they get the acorns so flattened and small.....
I'm so glad I don't have to read this whole thread to post on it. What a week it's been! Oh, you mean another one just started?
Two weeks ago was last year...wow, that went fast....
I feel like adding a meaningless post to move my count one closer to the 1000 club. [H]

Wow - you're getting close! Did someone give you a hard time about the 666 milestone? [<:o)] If not, we're falling down on the job. [;)]
Meaningless posts? Not at all, very informative and helpful. Someday I will reach 100.
If you make it...avg age is less than 100....[:D]
avg age is less than 100
Statistically, that's mean! [:D]
Yep...it's a dead subject....[;)]
Yep...it's a dead subject....
Yeah, thankfully we only used that type of subject in Biology classs...
Statistically, that's mean!
Well, it is definitely not a good sine.
Bill, your comments a little bit back reminded me of something that happened to me recently, when I stopped by my local latte' stand. Two very nice ladies operate the booth and were asking me what I was doing that weekend.
I replied, "I think that I am going to just putter." To which they replied, "Oh, you golf?" I said, "No, I don't. I mean putter around."
They both stared blankly at me, not knowing what to say next.
Kind of like since I've retired, people ask me what I do...I tell them absolutely nothing and by noon I am half done....
Perhaps he's gone off on a tangent.
