LOL Ever see one of your threads do a Hindenberg?

You start with a silly premise, full of mock angst and light rants about nothing, really. It's a lark. Suddenly a whole host of people bring their own insecurities, side issues and agendas to the dialogue, and pretty soon people start misunderstanding one another and forgetting where everyone else is coming from and accusing each other of not listening to them and before long your thread stretches and stretches to accomodate everyone's interpretation of "tone" and it's become a humorless, bloated hydrogen gas bag ready to explode.
 
Too true

That is why I rarely open any thread that is longer than three pages.

You can usually see what I mean by going to any really long thread and opening it to the original post, read what it's about, then go to the "final page" and read how much the thread has digressed from it's origins.

It's usually like that old game of "Telephone" in which a large group of people whisper a message from person to person. By the time the message has travelled the entire group, the end message bears no similarity to the original.
 
Okay, i only feel comfy whispering this to you guys cuz, well, you're good eggs and you won't tell anyone i admitted this, will you? Will you?

I like it when a thread goes wildly haywire.
I love off-topic inclusions.
I think funny hijackings are way too cool. I'd do them if i could but i'm sort of disabled in my "funny" area, at least here on Lit.

Ahem.
Back to your blues... here you go...
;)

The Hindenberg was a giant zeppelin.
Her makers made a minor oversight.
Before they filled it up with explosive gas
They should have fixed the no smoking light.

Yes, I know this is strange. But I am a different man these days not only do I entice 12 yearold schoolgirls and their pets, I am also starting to get attracted to 11 year old boys heeeeeeeeeeee

Airing your laundry again DCL?

hey, even a guest DCL poser using a smiley freaks me out. It takes so little after all.

"NO SOUP FOR YOU."
 
You mean to tell me that threads here will go off topic at times?? No way!
