Thread Hijacking

[clinthopson]

OK, people, isn't it time we face the pervasive pestilence of thread hijacking here?

Someone, say, (thelil), starts a thread fraught with cosmic philosophical and intellectual meaning, for a while like minds join in and add to the wisdom.

Then some mendicant, I will withhold names, posts something that takes the thread completely off the basic premise. Chaos reigns.

I'm not saying that most of us are not guilty of this action, but isn't it time that we reined in our stray thoughts and stuck to the primary proposition?

If this continues, I feel we are all on the road to eternal damnation.

I expect all of you to take heed.

Tim, you're an idiot.

The freedom to hijack threads is why I would much rather post here than in other jazz boards.

Woman to Woman is Shirley Brown's first album and finds the singer settling in nicely to a set of slow ballads, all soaked with an ache that the singer seems born to convey. The title track is the song most associated with the singer and one of the great love-triangle melodramas of the '70s, sparking a series of answer songs, the best of which is Barbara Mason's "From His Woman to You." While not a song cycle like Millie Jackson's Caught Up, which took the cheating subgenre to its extreme, Woman to Woman does create an insular feeling, wrapping the listener in a string of indirectly related emotional contexts. From the intimacy of "So Glad to Have You" to the more direct "Between You and Me" and all points between, Woman to Woman displays all the good and bad complexities that soul singers found at the dark end of the street.

Or any other boards in general.

The motorcycle board I sometimes post on will shitcan any and all posts that are not on the topic of the thread. Plus, they've got like 8 or 9 moderators. It makes for a very sterile environment.

I still say a good peanut butter doesn't need jelly or jam to make a good sandwich. On the other hand, ham without mustard can be a crashing bore.

This is an alternate universe. In the correct one, the Patriots beat the Giants 41-14.

Rather than thinking of it as hijacking, why not just consider it the evolution of a conversation. Most conversations don't stay on one topic, so why should threads. The inability to focus on one topic, usually due to past or current substance abuse prevents boredom.

I'm really pissed off.

And all this time I thought you were just playing hard-to-get.


Huh.

It's better to be pissed off than pissed on, which is what I strive to do to a thread when I hijack it.

Most under-rated soul album of all - the proto rap sort of thing she does on It Ain't No Fun makes me all goosey every time. Great tunes, singing, playing - I like this even better than Doris Duke's I'm A Loser or Irma Thomas' In Between Tears. And like all these kinds of soul sisters trying to be Aretha rather than Aretha herself.

What the HELL are you talking about, Weir?

Stay on subject, please.

I say that you can't say anything when you eat a PB&J without the J. Your tongue sticks to the roof of your mouth, and you can't talk!

And what self-respecting Boar goes crashing around in the forest with mustard on his ass? It's a disgrace, I say!

If you are going to put jelly beans in your posts, please provide more than one flavor. Just raspberry can be a crashing bore.

That was a Red Hot, not a jelly bean.

What's a Red Hot other than a crashing boar on a bun?
