Hijack this thread

Oh yeah. 14. I remember reading a Spider-Man story when I was 14 -- well, one of many -- that featured a lame villain with a tape deck through which he played bug sounds. Crazy, crazy stuff.

When I was 17
I had some very good beer
I was able
To buy it
With a fake ID
My name was Brian McGee
I stayed up listening to Queen
When I was 17

You're kidding right?

Unfortunately no. I got it offered to me free.

I bought a cheeseball the other day for a little party at work. I didn't know some had port in them. Any good? I opted for trad cheddar.

The port's not bad, but it sort of depends on your tastes. Anymore, I think I'd just rather have Brie, or, better yet, Philly cream cheese with raspberry/jalapeno ambrosia - that's good stuff.

Sorry, I don't mean to pull this thread back on-topic, but can you clarify why, exactly, we're all trying to hijack this thread? Is it to "get it out of our systems," so to speak, and thus avoid hijacking other threads that ought to stay on topic?

The question becomes: is it wrong for a conversation to move on?

There's a Goth clothing store in the mall around here called Hot Topic. They sell lots of wierd things, mostly black clothing and piercing, but some kinky stuff, too. An old friend of mine used to call the place Goth Topic. I often forget that that isn't its real name.

They have some realy strange slogan T-shirts there too. You can never have enough cool slogan t-shirts. You can wear to many though.

So, if you stay on topic, are you actually hijacking it?

I wonder where the term "hijacking" actually comes from. When was it first applied to threads on an internet message boards? Interesting subject.
