    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?

    #710398

    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.
