And how the hell come didn't they just siphon the gasoline from the 1885 Delorean and put it into the fucking 1955 Delorean? Fuck!

BrianR · 06-21-2004, 09:05 PM

I wonder when someone would bring up BTTF II. If no one else did, I was going to.

That was actually BttF III, mostly.

The logic behind why they didn't siphon the gasoline out is pretty sound actually, but I won't go into it, because that would be threadjacking.

perth · 06-21-2004, 09:35 PM

Waitjustagoddamnedaminute! No it's not. Fuck! I'm never gonna be free of this fucking movie.

lumberjim · 06-21-2004, 09:46 PM

not what.....? threadjacking, or that's not from that stupid fucking movie you always talk about?

what was your deal with it? your kid watches it over and over?

perth · 06-22-2004, 09:13 AM

No, I blame Case. I was never really into the BttF trilogy until she got me into it. So I watch it and enjoy it on a pretty regular basis, but then I get all pissed off over the plot holes and lay awake at night trying to figure it out. III is my favourite, but it's also the worst one. As near as I can tell, that movie should have been about 5 minutes long.

lumberjim · 06-22-2004, 09:32 AM

you should switch to watching the Princess Bride repeatedly....or The Holy Grail.....at least thay have funny quotes in them

"Never bet with a Sicilian when Deatttthhhh is on the line!"

"cut your own 'ed off, do us all a favor"

"you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means"

"bravely ran away away, Sir Robin" o/` o/`

perth · 06-22-2004, 09:54 AM

The Princess Bride is cute, but the astoundingly poorly done scene with Fezzik wearing the cloak pretending to be the Dread Pirate Roberts always grates on me.

Holy Grail. Yeah, near-perfection. I just picked up Life of Brian for 7 bucks at Target. In some ways, I prefer it to Holy Grail.

By the way, You're the threadjacker here. At least I kept it on the "time-travel" topic.

lumberjim · 06-22-2004, 09:57 AM

yeah, i'm doing it on purpose. I'm 'testing' Jag. he likes to hijack my threads, and taunt me when someone else does it too.

perth · 06-22-2004, 10:06 AM

Well, it's almost a noble thing, isn't it? A successful threadjacking can bring so much to a conversation.

lumberjim · 06-22-2004, 10:09 AM

would it be apropos at this point to start a thread about threadjacking, and see how many times it can be threadjacked?

or funnier still, threadjack this thread into a thread about threadjacking?

how do you feel about threadjacking? personally, I am for it unless it's one of mine, and then, I'm against it.

perth · 06-22-2004, 10:17 AM

I'm a big fan of the threadjack. Even in the threads I post. Makes it seem more like a freeform conversation. More importantly, I don't think anything can be done about it without a lof of heavy-handed moderating.

I do think, however, that the first 4-5 posts in a thread should remain pointedly on-topic. The poster obviously wanted to discuss something, and it's only polite to carry the conversation as far as it can go. I have noticed that if there's more to say regarding a topic, even a successful jacking can be brought back around to the original topic.

Interestingly, Snopes has no comment on John Titor... I was curious to see how many holes they might have poked in this story. It's quite an elaborate maze of information, and I have only begun exploring it, but it IS highly interesting so far.

Get back off topic!

I love a successful jacking but I try never to do it if the topic is serious real-life stuff for the poster. Sometimes the urge is undeniable, so don't deny it. A thread that changes repeatedly has its own spirit, I like that, a little text driven lifeform...

jaguar · 06-25-2004, 06:56 AM

For reference i don't mind a bit, the thread has mostly served it's purpose (though i'll be curious to see what hot pastrami think when he finishes reading) and should be recycled for the greater good into mindless crap
