I love the fact that this forum has so many people that have personal experiance and know what they are talking about. I also love the fact that these forums are not MODERATED like some other forums...I subscribe to a few LOL. I have noticed on a few of my topics and others that derailment is part of the way people interact here to lighten the threads and make chat and pass on info to those who need it.

BUT the question lies.......who is the best derailer? I think I am getting the hang of it I have not recieved any private messages warning me I will be band yet LOL.

Any way my boy is 2 and he still pees on the floor.

Phil

Is that like a music band, or a head band?

I've heard there's some kind of football game this weekend?

Football ended in November Eric.

Oh I forgot, there is some kind of game being played in the States I think.

You mean it was *supposed* to end in November, but there was an extra player on the field...

That was Divine Justice!

Didn't she make special appearances with Negative Orange during their North American tour?

I used to wear a headband when I played basketball?
: looks for Emily Latella :

You guys do know what basketball is? I think it starts in November

My neighbour's dog has fleas.

OK, let's get back on topic.

and speaking of snow why is everybody getting so much when I have had:
November - nothing
December - nothing
January - a dusting
February to date - about 1/2"

best winter in years.

I think he got the fleas from a skunk.

I don't know, Sean, but I bet Charles has the commemorative sparkly sword swizzle stick to prove it!

I can't believe you guys left that one hanging out there for so long.

whoa... must have missed that thread.

.........a duck waddled into a bar.

On topic - Mark Johnson.

SSdsw vvZΩ```

Whoo hoo!

Thanks, Ken!

You are all actually staying ON topic but trying to get off topic, since the topic of this thread is about getting off topic. Therefore, if you want to derail this thread about getting off topic you must stay on topic.

You're too f'ing meta, htnut. Too f'ing meta for your own good.



I think that's generally how the quote goes...

I vote for JohnK. Reason being, the topic at hand is usually fairly understandable, along with most of the posts, but as soon as he responds, the topic is usually derailed (for me anyway) because his posts are usually too intelligent for me to understand.

Oh yeah, back to the topic at hand, my favorite color is blue.

There's so much snow on the ground now that even my dog knows not to ask for a walk.

I thought that there were a few foolish people out there like me who would enjoy this thread...does anyone know the best way to get blood out of a clown suit???

:::snicker:::

and I saw a guy riding a crotchrocket in Brampton today.

My girlfriend likes my crotch rocket.....

Now I don't have to ask an embarrassing question.

. Paralysis doesn't get the "better" of quadriplegics, it's a different story with paraplegics however.

Just a momentary educational passage, carry on fellas!!

Hood: How long have you been a robber?

Midget: About 4 foot 1

One of my neighbours, well, she's a blonde. The other day she was complaining about the new deodorant she'd just bought. The instructions said "push up bottom", so that's what she did. Now when she farts it smells nice.

I used to have fleas from a racoon.

I saw a cat flee from a racoon.

Take the clown out of the suit first

Sounds like you've spent your winter in Florida this year Wayne ... 'cept for that 1/2" in February.

My vote goes to Mark, though I do remember he was on topic... once.

Carry on.

Nice thread ya got here. Low miles, only driven on Sundays by a little old lady, eh? New tires, too, I see. How much you askin', again?

Nice thread ya got here. Be a pity of somethin' ...happened to it. Ain't that right, Guido P?

If you give it to me, I might forget I found you.

Now, THAT'S funny!

Seriously, though.......this thread looks like all the others, here.

So if any of you want to go quading give me a shout

Who knew snorkeling gear would be a must for quading?

Yeah Baby....try following me with your polaris LOL

But seriously, folks.....I agree with Fred.

Well, that's depressing!

I'd take that as a compliment Mark, can you imagine how boring it would be if all threads and post stayed on subject around here? I'd take that as a badge of honor ... or honour as our northern neighbors might say.

Congrats!

BTW, I vote for you also.

I vote for Mark too.

What am I voting for

BURN him!!!


I mean, I vote for Mark, too.

No fair, his head is shaped like a football, who wouldn't vote for him? (epsecially today)

Yea but his head morphs from time to time, simply incredible.

I'm voting against him because his head looks like the Hindenburgh.

Before it blew up or after?

HaHa! let's say before, but if he let's the "Top Derailer Award" go to his head.....keep the extinguisher ready!

Exactly particularly since Johnk always comes along with the right answer anyway.

I'll say...

::Runs away with Michael Jackson-like FireHair::

Mark? Who's Mark?








I kid, I kid!

I gotta say I miss your caretaker's pictures thread.

Here ya go.....

Nice!

Ahh I love hockey. Maybe I can make my rosewood sample into the "TOP DERAILER" plaque and mail it out then every month it could be passed on by said winner and a pic of themselves with it could be posted LOL.
My wife waiting for the game to start


Later
Phil

Phil has now officially derailed his own thread.

Yeah, but he did it really, really well!

Phil I thought you said you loved hockey. What do the Maple Leafs have to do with hockey?

Ummmmm..... the hockey game right?

She would kill me if she knew I put that up she says her hip loos fat.

That's seriously your wife? I thought you were joking...!

Mark, this clearly isn't the topic at hand, don't get sidetracked again!

I am sure glad the next 6 or 8 posts thought that this was a great idea LOL

Good lord, Phil. That's not really your wife?

I vote for Phil. Because, well, his posts seem to have brought me the most joy recently.

Plus, I voted for Mark last time. For something.

Man, you should be spending less time with us and more time with her.

OK, I'll be the first...that was the quickest Super Bowl ever.

What was that? Did some one say Superb Owl?

He's watching me. . .

Since this thread had so much initial popularity I thought that I would bring it back to life and in passing anyone interested in a screen door for a submarine I seen one for sale on e-bay the other day.

Jennifer Aniston is in her 40s.

It was sunny outside this morning but now it's cloudy.

Can't say she's a MILF, though. Poor thing, so unlucky at love.

Maybe Angelina Jolie or the Octomom can throw a couple of babies her way to cheer her up.

I'll cheer her up!

Speaking of 40 yr old "Jennifers", I also like Jennifer Connelly.

Yeah, me too.

My favorite 40 year old - freshly minted, too, with her January 29, 1970 birthday - is Heather Graham.

I just did some Googling and am amazed that Cindy Crawford will turn 44 in 11 days.

I saw Cindy Crawford walking out of the little beach side hole in the wall store near our house last year and I must say that she looks every bit as gorgeous in person as she does in the photos.

That's pretty unusual.

Definitely not the norm Ken.

A former coworker of mine used to do some work for the movie industry and occasionally met some of the "stars". He said of all the actresses he met, Sharon Stone was the most 'naturally' beautiful and on the other end of the scale was Bette Midler whom he said was also quite the bee@%ch unless there was a camera rolling.

The only celebrity I remember 'bumping into' was John Candy at the Canadian Tire store I worked at as a kid...not quite like meeting Cindy Crawford, Lol, but he was just a regular, cool guy.

Where do bad tocos go when they die?

Taco <strike>Bell</strike> Hell.

Edit: This was a test of trying to do a word strike out that failed. Anyone know how to do this here?

Taco Bell Hell.

Do a full reply. Or just use [ s] [ /s]

Ivan Lendl is really cool, he has a house not far from ours and I have met him a couple of times, my son hangs around with one of his daughters. Roger Waters has a house in the same place but I haven't seen him, John Walsh lives not far also and I've seen him a time or two at the gas station ... he seems to be normal.

Probably because you're always playing David Gilmour

I nominate everyone posting in here

I second that comotion!

I saw Richard Petty and Darrell Strawberry in the Charlotte Airport - not at the same time.

Hmmm...interesting that they were not seen in the same room at the same time. Coincidence?

NO! I Say!

They are both the same person!!!

Oh......and "Nature Boy" Rick Flair....WHOOOOO!

I used to fly to JAX all the time. Darrell was sitting there trying to be inconspicuous. He saw me looking at him and the way I interpreted his expression was "is this mother@@3$&# going to bug me for an autograph?" I just turned my head and went back to reading my book.

One other - see if you can remember this without Googleing - on a plane down to JAX, I saw Oksana Baiul - she was wearing a genuine Wolf Skin coat and traveling with an entourage. She looked like she was "livin large"

I've never seen Stewie and Gazoo in the same place at the same time, hmmmmm.

Figure skater and NO I didn't google.

My apologies for hijacking this thread, but who do you think is the best at staying on topic?

I vote Charles BAHAHAHA

Several years ago I flew into Daytona Beach for the 500 and after the race the taxiway was packed full of all types of airplanes leaving, we had been waiting in the departure line for a solid forty five minutes whenever a familiar voice came over the radio and says "DAYTONA GROUND, NOVEMBER ONE TWO BRAVO ALPHA REQUEST IMMEDIATE PRIORITY DEPARTURE CLEARANCE TO HUEYTOWN ALABAMA" the ground controller responded "Bobby (Allison), you know you have to wait in line just like everybody else" ... "Bravo Alpha, roger" , was hilarious at the moment.

Back in the 80s and 90s we flew to a lot of the races and I have met almost all of the drivers and crews at different airports at one time or another. Super cool folks overall.

Best? I think JohnK is the only one who DOES!

Han shot first.

I don't blame him.

Hey, wait, Mark just stayed on topic!

Psych!

Somebody has done something with Mark!!

When I saw Petty, he had on that cowboy hat with the feather hatband, cowboy boots and shades. I said to the guy I was travelin with - Hey, That's Richard Petty! My buddy said - no it isn't. Right at that time somebody walked up and asked for an autograph. I said See....I told you that was Richard. My buddy maintained that it was not....

They turned him into a newt....

I saw the Undertaker and Papa Shango (sp)at the Halifax Internations airport one time.

Ashton Kutcher is in someone else's 40s.

That's what she said?

Good ones, CV!

Except that I was responding to people instead of derailing. I'm no good at this!

Yeah, you need to be more scattershot like the rest of us!

Nice word.

Wait, Sean was responding to you. Wait, now I'm responding to you! Aaaaah!

ahh 12 pages of nothing .......who spends to much time on the internet?

It is the Seinfeld concept....a thread about nothing.

I must say that I am enjoying it!

Not that there's anything wrong with that!

Pickles don't even have legs, you idiot.

I'm having a party. I need to get me some chickens. I need a lot of chickens.

"Is that a CHICKEN you're carrying!", a wheeler to Dorthy Gale.

We're not in Kansas Toto.

My Stewie is angry.

Jo Ann Whirly : "That's not another chicken joke?"

Ice cream has no bones!

Attack of the Clones

A Spanish Cab Driver said to me: George Bush : Grande Cojones!

I had a party with some chickens one time and now I am banned from all KFC`s forever

You shouldn't have invited the big, obnoxious Red Island Rhode.

Are you kidding me did the thread about nothing just get bumped to the second page? Ohmy bottle of Captain Morgan spiced rum is amlost empty can't they make these things last a night????

Nor the Rhode Island Red either.

Island Roads are Red?

Jeeesh, I think this avatar is making me edgy.... Maybe I should try to find a "Happy Stewie"?

Really, aren't we all in search of a Happy Stewie at the end of a long day?

I don't think it's the avatar.

(instant rimshot)

Boy is this thread digging up some old stuff.

Isn't that the title of Negative Orange's album with their b-side demos?

I don't know, but I bet Charles has the commemorative reproduction tribute plastic shovel to prove it!

And since there's no better thread to post this in:

Be. Afraid.

I was doing my damndest not to post in this thread, but I gotta say, I loved that....... whatever it was.

Did you listen to all of it? The guy's vocal abilities are quite impressive.

I thought it was fun....

Their website is hilarious, particularly their story.

Only problem is that Enter Sandman was released in '91, not '89.

I did, Impressive indeed.

Freakin', Lyin' Bastards! And I trusted them!

Ok you made me go read the Wiki for Enter Sandman.

Here's an interesting fact for the Audyssey fans on this board.
"Staub mentioned that the producing team spent much time in getting the best sound from each part of the room and used several combinations of 40 to 50 microphones in recording the drums and guitars to simulate the sound of a live concert."

That's insane, too!

That's cute that you continue to feign resistance.

Resistance is fyooo-tile.

Hey, it's Locutus of the Bay.
