Thread jacking seems to be becoming rampant on the WSB Forums. Please respect the original post by only adding follow-on posts that are pertinent to the subject at hand. Thanks.

Starting a new thread to harp on the users posting on your other thread isn't much better.

Did you approach west seattle blog thread jackers with this complaint before you posted it? it's in the rules, you know...

There would probably be more squirrels if it weren't for all the off-leash dogs.

thee... no mention of thread jacking in the "rules"... did I miss it?

Sorry if this rant isn't in keeping with the general decorum found acceptable in the WSB. Perhaps I am just used to other online forums where thread jacking is considered rude and annoying.

Banter on all you wish, 'ol nutty West Seattlites!!! I'll just get out of the way.

Oh, come on now, enginerd. Thread-jacking happens everywhere, from blog posts to presidential press conferences.

Come to the meet-up this Sunday at Cupcake Royale, buy me a cupcake, and I promise I'll hang raptly on your every word.

At least until someone else cuts in with a better cupcake.

I've got about 1/2 lb. of ground beef in the fridge, some potatoes, carrots, cheese, and I can't think how to whip up a dinner from this disparate combination of ingredients.

And I'm definitely not walking up to the store in the rain.

Cheeseburger, oven fries and steamed carrots.

transplantella... you're thread jacking skills need work.

DP, I don't like cupcakes. Pumpkin ice cream at Husky would suffice though.

I'll give this thread until 6pm (way too much time) before there is chupacabra snipe here. And btw, Enginerd, do you drive to work or carry your lunch?

Cheeseburgers with steamed carrots? :-( That makes no sense.

And besides, I don't have any buns.

You eat the carrots on the side, silly.

Steamed carrots are delicious by themselves.

Don't be silly. Chupacabras don't eat carrots, they're carnivores.

Or I could just make French toast.

Steam the potatoes, create a hamburger gravy (add water & cornstarch to the cooked ground round), steam the carrots.. or have them whole and fresh. Plop the hamburger gravy over the steamed potatoes. If your cholesterol isn't high enough, add some shredded cheese to the potato, gravy mix.

sooooo...back to the OP....sometimes threads take turns that are most interesting. It does happen, it's an open forum. Rules are...we can talk about the post but not the poster. Rant rules are...you have to go to the offender and try to fix things first before posting a rant. Gotta love those rules :) The editor of this fine "blog" doesn't have time to moderate, so...guess we do it ourselves. We try to play nice...really :)

I may have oatmeal !

I've had a very long and tedious day. You-all have just brightened it up immensely. Starting with post 2. (I know that was your goal in life.) Thank you from one tired wench.

What a hoot.

Slow cooked squirrel was the diet of that Southern Huckster Mike Huckabee during college. He thought people might be able to relate to him better with that story out there.

I leave the squirrels for chupas.

Take chicken breasts, skin side down, with some oil on medium high. Cook until skin is nice and golden brown. Flip then put in 450 oven with sprig of rosemary and couple tablespoons of butter on top of skin. Cook until done. Roasted potatoes and greens on the side. Yum

BTW, catlbob reminds us that you can use bread with a cheeseburger if you don't have a bun.

This is all Obama's fault. Really, it is. If he would produce his birth certificate, and denounce his Muslim faith, these highjackers would back off.

Oh, and the Mexicans. Somehow they are involved.

If Thread Jacker Amir can keep his smile while jacking, more power to him. We should all be so lucky to love our work that much.

Is Trader Joe's going to be all vegan in West Seattle when it opens at The Hole? I won't go there since it's a chain. But they should be aware of the collective thoughts of the community via my comment.

DP I am highly offended by your racist picture and I demand that you take it down.

BAAAAHAHAHAH... just kidding. If there wasn't some righteous indignation pointed at someone who meant no harm on this thread I would no longer recognize this as the WSB forums.

I am following Cait. I find threadjacking to be sexist. What about threadjilling? Hmmm? I thought we were enlightened. The enemy is us.

Bacon?!

Have you heard the latest rage in demon food?

Chicken fried bacon. Thick cut bacon, dipped and battered, deep fried, then served under a smothering of cream gravy.

Have we died and gone to heaven yet?

The best thread jackers are the ones who dive in on a Rave with a Rant about said Rave. Its a total freebie to rant without the obligatory "contact the manager, blah-blah-blah". Its really a beautiful thing and takes careful skill not to tip the barrel.

This is by far the best blog posting ever...has a little bit of everything! Mostly, the fact the thread had to be started...inviting the efforts that really made a lot of us chuckle! Good stuff...Jack away!

Did this thread-jacking post hi-jack my missing red cowboy boot with black embroidery?

Posted 1 year ago #

If there was a pulitzer (pewlitser) for blog posts, this one should win. Since there isn't--we should start one. (Pewlitser? Thread? Blog?) Meanwhile, I saw a red cowboy boot at the corner of admiral and 47th -- being chased by a marmet, running away with a chubacabra who was obviously RUI. They were waiting to cross the street because someone stole all the orange flags. Oops -- argh---marmet food. RIP.

thread jilling, I love it.

please have your posts sent to your place of work, so they don't get stolen from your desktop porch.

What really annoys me, is when the City of Seattle arbitrarily lowered the threadjacking limit from 35, down to 30.

Sure, not everyone is qualified to threadjack at the higher rate, but I think most of us are quite mature enough, sensible enough, and educated enough to handle it.

(BTW, FYI, and FTR, I am a highly experienced threadjacker.)
