Confessions of a hijacker

or; shameless, pointless comments and the saints who love them

I've been here at JU for almost a year now, but I didn't really start getting active until this last February. Of course, as many of you know, I go through spurts here, sometimes being very active, sometimes being really lazy. Sometimes I don't like to get involved with different things going on here, and other times I really do.

But if there's one thing that I'm always a fan of, without fail, it's hijacking a thread. There's nothing better than having a conversation with someone about nothing related on someone else's thread. I do it all the time, without realizing it, because I usually like to make jokes rather than serious comments. It's a lot more enjoyable being a jokester rather than seriously inclined.

It's even worse when I find like-minded individuals. Sometimes I just like to keep a thread going, hijacked to high heaven, just 'cuz it's fun. It's easier than actually sitting down and writing an email to these people, and I don't know the address of many of my hijacking partners . . . consequently, I just go ahead and keep on hijackin'.

Now, does it bother me when this happens on my own threads? Couldn't care less. Because, as Granny always used to say, “Do unto others what you would have them do unto you.” So, I hijack shamelessly – and anyone's free to hijack mine.

For example, look at Xythe's thread about unfair scoring on JU. After about respone 20, it's been pure hijacked crap. Now whip and I are talking about hobbit feet. And it's still the scoring thread. And I don't even feel bad.

Now, some of you may not feel the way I do. Please, if you hate my hijacking, go ahead and tell me. Call me bad names. If you are a like-minded individual, band together with me in the hijacking of threads.

Come on, y'all know it's just more fun. ;)

You should have Jumped on the Good SHip Starkers!  We hijacked that one for about 450 comments. It was fun while it lasted.

We make it more fun that way. I like to think of myself as a lightweight comedic side character around here, not a major player. As long as I get the laughs.

You're not supposed to be watching boring stuff like that, it's Tuesday - Veronica Mars night! And that's an order!

Tuesdays, nine o'clock, the CW, no excuses. Now you know.

I've never actually watched it on the night it's on until last night . . . usually I just watch in on DVD. Finished season two on Sunday . . . so good.

I know. Stupid name, but they kept on my Veronica, so that's all I care about . . . they can call it the "stupid stuff" network if they want, as long as there's a safe harbor for that vivacious vixen.

I just took some blueberry muffins out of the oven (for a bake sale tomorrow).
Do you want to try one?

Good call. I love Veronica. Now I have Elvis Costello in my head.

Ooh yes, virtual muffin tasting!

I can smell the hot, steaming muffins now. I pick one up, careful not to burn my fingers, cut in quickly in half, and douse the heat in a swath of buttery goodness. Once all the margarine has melted, I pick up the muffin, devouring its savory goodness in a white heat. Ahh. Muffin-gasm. Nothing better.

I don't mind a good hijack either, as long as it's not some pisshead whining about the original topic or changing the subject to harp on some unrelated (and usually repulsive) political view.

That being said...Say no to illegal immigration! Say yes to the fence! It you hate gay sex, let them marry and they wont get any anymore! Free all rappers imprisoned by the white man, kill all the freakin trees just to shut them tree-huggers up, and ignore alien orders!

ignore them.

Hey, speaking of muffins, Toni has been cooking up a batch of her famous brownies. Would anyone like to try some?

Jacks High is better than hijacks, but I'd prefer pocket Aces.

Yum! Muffins and Brownies tasting - do we get milk with those Feisty and Maso? Heyyyy, San Cho is eating up all the muffins! [slap Braeden's hand]

Do these brownies have any . . . added . . . ingredients?

You have to bring your own milk . . . it's not supplied. And, by the way, it's my thread, I can eat all the muffins I want . . .

But the belly ache is the most satisfying part.

It's like on Thanksgiving, when you've just finished your second plate, the dishes are washed, and you're waiting on the Christmas pudding to warm up, and you just sit back on the couch, in pure lethargic gluttony, and enjoy the moment.

Speaking of Thanksgiving, I could really go for some candied yams right now . . .

Ugh, I can't stand those. Give me cranberries, some turkey, and a baked potato.


Mmmm, that sounds really good right now.

That's 'cuz you ain't neva had Mama Jones' candied yams.

*drops annoyingly bad southern accent*

Seriously, though, life changing. The only reason Thanksgiving is celebrated in the Jones household. The rest is just periphery nonsense. It's like all the furniture in the house that you don't really need, and don't really use, but can't part with. The yams are essential, like the bed or the shower curtain.

Speaking of furniture, I sure wish that it didn't take so long to move, and that my father wasn't so paranoid about people banging up the walls in the new house. He wants to move every piece of everything ALL BY OURSELVES. That way, we can be sure not to bugger up the walls. What a hassle.

Wow, two more things I have in common with you. Along with liking music, "Arrested Development", and dressing up in a girl scout uniform for Halloween.

How about posts that don't just hijack but promote their own blog.
