    Hijack this!

    I was thinking... threads often get hijacked, and people get upset that the original discussion turned into something completely different. So, I thought we should just have a HIJACK thread. Your chance to get completely off the subject as much as you want. What do you think?

    I think this thread should discuss hijackings - you know... planes, boats, big wheels. Like the Achille Lauro.
    ...Just ask me...

    I think it would be "nice" if more posters had customized or personal avatars instead of just using one of the "stock" avatars from the OptiBoard menu. Those stock avatars are as tacky as -- I don't know -- cheap-looking cufflinks or a tie bar.

    Speaking of bars:

    Has anybody visited McGillin's Ale House in Philadelphia? They are celebrating their 150th anniversary! Stoudt's Brewery made up a batch of IPA called McGillin's 1860 IPA. I guess that I better swing over and taste a pint or four!

    Public displays of affection really annoy me...especially when I'm not involved!

    aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh, you people are terrible!!!
    Bart Smith, continuing to be awesome since 1982 so that you don't have to.

    Love is a duet, each voice complementing each other and making them sound better than they would alone, each voice at times stepping back and letting the other shine. We've got a pretty good duet going Tina.

    On April 28th, I'll be marrying my best friend. I can't wait!

    I think you are mistaken. Fezz has only had experience with the 'ugly' stick!

    Yes, I agree Rinsie. There are unfortunately some of us that aren't as computer savvy as you and have trouble with things like avaters. However, i think all members here should write to their congressman (congresswoman) and complain about the unethical capture and sale of butterflies to the scientific(?) community. This must stop !!!

    Speaking of questions, would you agree with this statement?
    To be on a quest is nothing more or less than to become an asker of questions.
