…waiting to see how long it takes for this thread to get hijacked and how far off topic it goes.

Coyotepunc and Hatshepsuut17 Sep 2015 2:56 p.m. PST

Pizza… yes or no?

Zardoz!

That's not how you make porridge.

Personal logo miniMo Supporting Member of TMP17 Sep 2015 3:16 p.m. PST

Hmm, surprisingly, everything is on-topic so far.

Except pie, I love pie.
Apple and cherry, but then again shoe-fly.

Mako1117 Sep 2015 3:30 p.m. PST

Cake is better!

Russ Lockwood17 Sep 2015 3:40 p.m. PST

The development of the industrial bourgeoisie….

The workers' control of the means of production? The struggle of the urban proletariat?

No. It was in fact, Wolverhampton Wanderers who beat Leicester 3-1.

FoxtrotPapaRomeo17 Sep 2015 3:41 p.m. PST

Time flies, but fruit flies love a banana.

"If" is the middle word in life.

The cake is a lie, Mako11.

And the infield-fly rule really irks me.

Maddaz11117 Sep 2015 3:48 p.m. PST

Zardoz, too soon!

To get your thread back alive, fill a bag with fish, chips and £10.00 GBPm ( get the Large size bag), and await further instructions when the new moon is at the zenith.

I won't buy it unless it's true box scale.

14Bore17 Sep 2015 4:13 p.m. PST

They sell pie in a box, yes it's round but the box is well. A box

Disco Joe17 Sep 2015 4:52 p.m. PST

I am hijacking this thread. Now take me to Cuba.

Personal logo Extra Crispy Sponsoring Member of TMP17 Sep 2015 5:37 p.m. PST

You mean "Take Me to Woking!"

No?

Winston Smith17 Sep 2015 6:11 p.m. PST

The Sword and the Flame works quite well for this situation.

The cake IS real, Jav, and delicious.

A nice lemon-flavored pound cake, with a delicious, moist, lemon-sugar glaze applied to it, and has been soaking in for several days now. Deeeelicious.

It is half gone though.

At WD3 ( wd3.org.uk/index.php ) we have strict rules about thread hijacking.

A thread may only be hijacked after the first post.

A thread may only be hijacked by a registered member.

So far, compliance has been 100%.

Sloppypainter17 Sep 2015 9:31 p.m. PST

Of course Pi has to be round.

Zephyr117 Sep 2015 9:40 p.m. PST

Thread hijacking works.
We got rid of a long-time troll on another forum by starting new topics with the exact same name as the ones he started, and only replied to each other in those. His own started topics would not get any replies (except from some of his other (about 18 that we know of) alts.) Oh my, did he complain, but we've remained committed to ignoring him… ;-)

Does anybody make zombie astronauts in 15mm? You know, broken faceplates, ripped suits, missing limbs -- the works?

Buff Orpington18 Sep 2015 3:11 a.m. PST

"A thread may only be hijacked after the first post."

G, you missed out sub-clause 1b;
"However, the llama may hijack his own thread in the first post."

Some Chicken18 Sep 2015 3:31 a.m. PST

nor is it chicken

Did somebody call?

If this is a thread inviting thread hijacking, then aren't all off-topic posts actually on topic?

Personal logo javelin98 Supporting Member of TMP18 Sep 2015 11:05 a.m. PST

I just… wow. I could sit here for hours and ponder how deep that is. So very, very deep…

La malbela bebo dancis rapide!

Zardoz19 Sep 2015 5:39 a.m. PST

Did someone say Zardoz ?

Supercilius Maximus19 Sep 2015 8:45 a.m. PST

You I think.

Weasel19 Sep 2015 9:59 a.m. PST

I find that onions and bell peppers are becoming my favourite pizza toppings.

Personal logo ochoin Supporting Member of TMP20 Sep 2015 5:20 a.m. PST

Surely it should have read, " pijpje"?

Wonderful thing, Google Translate.

But what is that in metric?

Of course this only means that Bolt Action is far superior to that silly wannabe called "Chain of Command".

Elenderil13 Oct 2015 2:11 p.m. PST

I think it took this long.

Karellian Knight15 Oct 2015 5:10 a.m. PST

Is this a good time of year to travel to Bongolesia or should I wait until Spring?

Mad Mecha Guy17 Oct 2015 12:42 p.m. PST
