It's time for the return of "Hijack this thread"

Some of the most interesting harmonies are in minor keys - especially in barbershop arrangements

I’ve never cared for minor keys - Key West is fine to me!

Everyone picks on the Emo kids. It’s too easy. You know who really needs to be taken down a notch? Computational linguists! “Look at me! I can subscribe to any one of a number of mutually-contradictory theories and still be taken seriously! I’ve made falsifiability my bitch!”

FUCK COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTS!

Can I just hijack this thread for a minute to stand in awe of you, Derleth? This was almost as good as your suggestion to culture human meat in a vat. Which, for the record, I’d have no problem with so long as it was properly labeled.

The vat, or the meat?

Oh, great. Once it gets labeled like that, it has next to no chance of landing a job or getting a decent place to live and we’ll end up supporting it on welfare.

I meant, you know, like “lotor.” I thought you guys were all smart-like, but you totally missed it! Upthread, not in the meat-vat thing.

Now I really love xkcd. Stand in awe of the true master.

(Although that “I’ve made falsifiability my bitch!” is mine all mine and I’m quite proud of it.)

I am so hungry for a manwich! If I don’t have one right now I think I will go crazy. I like them with just one slice of bread, lots of Kraft mayo and then the hot canned man on top. Ooooh!

On my way to the kitchen now…

I went crazy some time ago. But then again, I’m a Teapot.

TEAPOT! TEAPOT!

so which was the bigger scandal - Watergate or Teapot Dome?

I think 4 hours is too much. You should consider if you are satisfied with your sex life. Perhaps all you need is a hobby.

Sorry for the hijack.

But if we outlaw labels only labels will have outlaws! Wait…no…

Crap. I’ve lost my train of thought. So how about those Vikings, eh?

You know some people have sex with the lights on?!

And with the war in Iraq, the damn electric company is in collusion with Cheney, and there’s no way we can afford lighted sex nowadays, so just forget it, buster.

Many years ago a little girl in our town was seen on the court square burning ants with a magnifying glass. Some enterprising movie student made a documentary about her and it played several weeks at the theater. Attendance was dismal.

If I may bring this thread back to its original topic… Derleth, that was a sublime post. But can you do this?

What, chew gum and walk at the same time? Is that some kind of slam at the late Gerald R. Ford?

Why won’t MLB let Donruss make baseball cards anymore?

One word: plastics.

Funny you should mention it. I was just watching a show about plastic surgery on the Discovery health channel. I don’t know why but I am fascinated by home renovation shows and plastic surgery shows. There may be a connection somewhere, but I don’t know which is it.

But I digress… I was watching that show about plastic surgery and these three sisters who underewent gastric bypass had a total body lift, wow, they look so nice afterwards. That got me thinking… is a gastric bypass permanent?
