Going off topic-boooooo!

[Themis00]

Conversations naturally take twists and turns and on message boards it is not the
exception. But there is a fine line between going from blue to green and going
from WHITE to BLACK.

I don't see small hijacks and posts mildly deviating from the OT as a problem.
Hypothetical-but if the thread is about relationships and someone suddenly posts
about cars and the thread goes on about cars several pages long, that is just
disrespectful-to the original thread starter and the people who want to discuss
the original topic.

2. If stuff goes seriously off-topic, and it's a problem, you can always contact the mods and get their take on it.

My favourites are the soft cheeses. Brie and Camembert are good, but the best are the soft blue cheeses like Gorgonzola and Danish Blue.

I like extra sharp Tillamook cheddar. It doesn't have animal rennet, which is good for my vegetarian sensibilities. But the sharper you get, the more expensive, so I usually buy sharp Tillamook, which is a dollar cheaper than extra sharp.

Also very fond of brie on nice sourdough.

Oh I concure hijacking a post is just the kind of thing that makes me madder than hell at Bush! Especially his Isreali proposals and why are the Israeli soldiers still in the West bank anyway? Personally I think Suicide bombers are completely evil and whacked out of their skulls and that is why we should treat the mentaly deranged with compassion and improve facilities for the criminally insane who clog up our court system which issues far too many speeding tickets which is why we should raise the speed limit and remove term limits for politicians and presidents. teh best president played on film was Henry Fonda onless you consider Anthony Hopkin's Nixon, who I believe was a good president despite the cover up which far too many women use creating more pimples on their faces leading me to wonder about race relations between Hobbits and Orcs but aside from Lord of the Rings. Speaking of teh Lord what is god and why desn't he exist except in the minds of Chickites who are evil in their gay bashing and nerd attacking. Which reminds me Is Star Trek better than Star Wars which will probably suck, but when did the term suck come into its present use? Are you actually still reading this I think I made the point several lines ago and now I'm filling up the space with mindless blathering which leads me to fianlly decide that the worst type of cheese in the world is, are you waiting for the actual answer... good because I will actually state it but any anticipation you have generated for teh answer will never be paid off but I suggest you try to use this term in a sentence some time during the day as you will definitely get a few raised eyebrows... but well the worst cheese, next to the tastelessly named dick cheese is in fact (are you still with me? Stop wasting your time which is precious and if there is no afterlife the only tour around the sun you may ever take so stop wasting it and enjoy it) the horrendous Smelly foot cheese which my wife gets from kraft and put on her speggetti.

The liberal position on domestic cheese consumtion is completely mis-understood. I'm sure that minty will be along shortly to clear this up.

Meanwhile, us libertarian types believe that you can eat as much or as little cheese as you like. As long as the government has nothing to do with it.

I like omelettes. My favorite is the Santa Fe at Walker Bros. It has Monterey Jack Cheese, Jalepenos, fresh salsa. It kicks major ass. At home, I usually just make scrambled eggs with bacon and cheese (Tilamook Cheddar if I have it) because it's easier.

BTW, I started buying free range eggs. I don't give a crap about the chickens, really. I just bought them once at Whole Foods because that's all they have, and I just found that they taste a lot better.

It could be because not only does the OP dislike major digressions, url=http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=190694"]he also has a particular aversion to posts that are overly wordy;[/url] percision in word selection along with percision in topic following are very, very important to Themis00 and I, being a good poster and good listener, try very hard to remember each posters wants and needs of each poster on this board and never, ever do anything remotely irritating to said poster or any poster. Because being a good member of the SDMB includes, but is not limited to, understanding the likes and dislikes of all teeming millions of us and we should strive to keep all posts short and on topic and covered in melted swiss.

You wouldn't last 10 seconds in an Enterprise thread. They get hijacked by the OP!

[Miller]

The thing about hijacks is, they only work when no one is interested in the OP anymore. If someone comes in after a lengthy hijack, there's nothing stoping them from a "Getting back to the OP..." post and trying to re-rail the derailment. If there's still life in the OP, then the discussion can continue despite the digression.

Cheese makes me think of wine. I usually open a bottle of a cabernet sauvignon before dinner to relax with, but since we generally avoid red meats, we'll have a bottle (tor two) of a white with dinner. Right now, my favorite is Caymus Vinyard's Conundrum Chardonnay and currently have a couple of bottles from the 1999, 2000 and 2001 vintages in my cellar. We also have been drinking a number of Austrailian chardonnays, mostly Black Opal and Hardys. Occasionally, we'll open a bottle of port for dessert, usually with fresh fruit and nice block of cheddar.

What wines are the rest of the Dopers drinking?

But you forget cream cheese. If you can make cheesecakes with Jello and peanut butter, why not leave the crust off and put cream cheese on it alone? And Ice cream is fine with cream cheese, although, I think it would be rather overkill on the cream thing. And pea soup is probably better with some cheddar on top, but I don't like pea soup anyway.

Now that I think about it, that doesn't have good hijack potential. What about this? (copied from Spoz's blog)


and now for a quick n easy guide to explain some of the "brain weather patterns" I occassionally map on this blog..
(for those days, when I'm so clogged by writer's block.. I just talk shit about wot's in me head..)

you may be familiar with these already..
but, for those new to my blog! - "hi, welcome to my blog, yes it DOES really suck! thanks for reading!"
here's my quick rundown of terminology.. so you too can be an instant expert!

BLURRY
state of brain, emulating early morning / pre-caffeination.. made more serious if not cured by afternoon / coffee.. a general inability to focus on even the most basic of concepts..

HAZY
similar to blurry, but.. much funnier.. coz you KNOW you've caused the resultant brain damage and now have to live with it.. usually encountered attempting to blog whilst drunk at 4AM on a Saturday night..

FLUFFY
oddly tingly and otherwise happy for no apparent reason.. but, still dumb as a post, and no use to anyone..

FLUFFY and FULL OF ANTS
oddly tingly, cheerful and otherwise stupid, gibbering like an idiot and disconnected, in serious need of de-fragmentation and a decent virus sweep.. coz you've done some serious damage the night before.. and now you're laughin' like a fool who's had half his head removed.. (see Ray Liotta in the movie "Hannibal" for a demonstration of this) - this is my usual "morning after" a big weekend night out..

FUZZY
happy, and full of energy.. like a spastic contraption made solely out've nerf.. lookin' to cause damage.. but, since you're made of nerf.. likely you'd just tickle 'em to death..

SHINY
easily distracted by shiny objects.. possibly suffering some kinda sugar rush, and bouncin' off the walls like a demented 4 year old with a gameboy... if used as a "noun" it refers to things most likely to distract you to the point of acting like a 4 year old.. "woooo SHINY!"

CRUNCHY
you're mr burns, rubbing ya hands diabolically.. "exceeeellent.." every evil plan of yours is falling into place, the death star is approachin' completion.. your inspiration levels are running on a full tank of gas, and your muse (which I always assume is female) is doing sick n perverted things to the never regions of ya being.. you're baskin' in your own over-inflated ego.. you're like that crunchy outer coatin' on KFC hot n spicey.. no one can stop you.. NO ONE!! BLAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHHHHA!

CRUSTY
the complete opposite of crunchy..
the morning after a REALLY HEAVY night out..
you're the IQ level of a goldfish.. memory lapsing every 5 seconds.. as you gibber "I'm a goldfish!.. I'm a goldfish!" over and over like a mantra.. your stomach is feeling seedy, and your head ain't much better than a can of dog food.. we're talking paramedics and perhaps a exorcism trained priest to dig y'self out've this hole..

ER.. NUTS
the error message my head blurts out, everytime there's a dead halt in my thought processes..
for a few years, I actually thought it meant I needed peanuts of some kind... "need salted nuts to live"..
perhaps this is why they stock some bars with them.. (mental note: avoid them, tests have shown they're usually chocka's full of urine.. YAY!)

so.. there we have it..
I should stress tho'.. that these are abitrary terms I use, and liable to change meaning according to any weird ambiguity I see fit..
so, don't go correcting ME.. if I use the wrong term at the wrong time..

and if you're gonna steal these terms for y'self.. just remember who started it.. mmmkay?
(coz I want credit.. when I hear this come all the way around the world back at me.. to bite me in the arse..)

Now, THAT has more stuff to discuss than a Chinese translation of "Happy Birthday." :D
