/Aha!/
A Havarti eh?
mmmm…so Im gonna need both a Stilton and some Feta to even call it quits…
No it’s yours, I withdraw.
Its just not worth the risk.
Congratulations.
You do have some cheese in this shop then?
Xanakis - you shouldn’t have thrown your hand in. All I had wa a Dolcelatte and a Brie!
Aaah shit, I knew you were bluffing.
I had a Gorgonzola and a fuckin Vintage Cheddar in my hand and all.
Damn.
Oh well, you live and learn.
Well, xanakis - you could have won with that! Hah!
All I have to say to you is ‘Clydesdale Hoof Warty’.
(All right - I made that up!)…
Moved to where? Go read them again. The first thread about “where’s wishbone?” while questionable, was left open until wishbone responded. The second one looks like a continuation of a personal conversation that belonged in e-mail. That would have been closed in any forum, even in MPSIMS. Here’s another example. The third one was a gripe and moan session after two already questionable posts in the wrong forum. It was closed and, as per the rules, she was free to come to the Pit and whine about it, where we now are, in a thread that’s been moved, not closed.
And Clare Ashworth
Love the bit in parentheses, can’t wait to see another of these threads from you. woo-hoo.
BTW - you and xanakis do realize that this cheese hijack is just inviting this thread to be closed. If you want it closed, why not just e-mail a mod and request they close it?
Me too. And I don’t even have a son! I’d rather sell a random kid that I picked off the street to a circus than throw away 70 yo Glenmorangie.
(Of course, I’ve never HAD any older than 20 years! Where do you get the 70 yo stuff? Or was this home-aged? In which case, how was it?? Dammit, we’re fighting ignorance over here, man!)
Oh dear - I do seem to have upset Crunchy!
I’m not upset. The first part was just to show jmonster that the mods may not have seen anywhere appropriate to move your threads.
The part to you was just letting you know that after the main hulabaloo has died down and hijacks start taking over is usually when the thread gets closed (not always, just usually, sometimes the silly hijacks can go on indefinitely, and I’ve got nothing against silliness). I didn’t want you getting surprised by seeing a thread get closed when everything looks all innocent and fun. In all seriousness, as you are the OP and with matter seemingly resolved, if you want the thread closed, you can e-mail one of the mods of this forum and request it be closed.
Situation No Win:
Thank Gaud. It can’t be in Great Debates. You can’t get two posters to agree on the time of day over there, so no chance of seeing you there.
Clare:
Finally! I belong!

Alright, dammit: where’s the real manny! What did you do to him! Bring him back to us from his alien masters!
*Remember when you posted this
and I got on your case
and warned you not to post
because I’d close your thread?
Well…
You posted anyway
and the thread’s got worse and worse
and now you see
I’ve gone completely out of my mind!
So…
I’m coming to close your thread, HaHa!
I’m coming to close your thread, HoHo, HeeHee, HaHa!
On the message board,
where trolls are posting all the time
and I’ll be happy to flame
those fucking jerks and their goddamned threads!
And I’m coming to close your thread HaHa!
You thought it was a joke
and so you laughed (you laughed!)
when I had said that one more post
would make me ban your ass!
Right?
You know the post, I read the post,
(your post! your post! your post!)
And then you laughed
and now I’m utterly pissed!
So…
I’m coming to warn your ass, HaHa!
I’m coming to warn your ass, HoHo, HeeHee, HaHa!
On the message board!
With threads and posts and topics, too!
And Great Debaters who sit and smile
and twiddle their thumbs and toes!
And I’m coming to warn your ass, HaHa!
I fixed your code, I moved your posts,
and this is how you pay me back
for all my kind, unselfish loving deeds?
Huh?
Well you just wait, I’ll get you yet!
And when I do I’ll ban your sorry ass
for good you fucking jerk!
And…
I’m going to ban you ass, HaHa!
I’m going to ban your ass, HoHo, HeeHee, HaHa!
From the message board!
Where topics are interesting all the time!
And I’ll be happy to fix their codes
and move their posts!
And I’m going to ban your ass, HaHa!
From the message boards!
With topics and thread and Great Debates!
Where posters sit and smile
and twiddle their thumbs and toes!*
Jesus. I have way too much time on my hands. :rolleyes:
Don’t eat the brown acid dude.
[hushed whispers]
Wow, it’s ol’ Krispy!
[/hushed whispers]
Nice, uh, rant (?) Tank.
Good one, Krispy (hey! hey! - good to see ya’ )!
As CrunchyFrog says, with the original hullabaloo died down now, and matters resolved, the thread could be closed. I don’t think I’ll be pro-active in asking for that to be done, though - if a moderator wishes to close it, that’s fine by me.
ExTank
- cite ?
S. Norman
Noooooooo. For the love of the IPU, don’t close this thread! It’s an example of the best of the SDMB.
A moderator complaint that is actually resolved, two different grammatical hijacks, a scotch hijack, a song parody and the innovation that is cheese poker.
Leave it open to see where it wanders. Heck, make it a threadspotting on the art of the hijack.
Parody? Heck, that’s how I remember the lyrics.
(To Napolean XIV, wherever you are.)
Billdo’s post illustrates exactly why I didn’t want to close the thread myself. Other people might not want it closed! I am being extremely careful around here nowadays…
