I have something to admit.
I’m a hijacker.
Of posts and threads…
On Eraseboards….
With Chalkboards….
I can’t help myself. As with most things I adore, I am COMPELLED. Compelled to write one liners and quippy rejoinders – I could go on for hours. I can’t pass a dry erase board and not write something, especially if it’s been written on first. Then it’s like the marker JUMPS into my hand and before I know it – I’m writing something. Snarky.
What’s great is when you find a few people that you click with, in terms of writing style, than you can go back and forth on a thread for a long time. It must drive everyone else crazy. But you don’t have to read it if you don’t want to – that’s kind of the beauty of ‘freedom of choice’. It was easier on everybody when I was just a student passing notes back & forth, but now, everyone is sort of subjected to me and my follies… C’est la vie!
I think what I particularly like about that back & forth type of writing is the interaction; your writing can play off of someone else’s – especially if the back & forth is skewed towards witty/funny. Other people’s words are a great inspiration for my own. I would love to figure out how to take that flow of writing and put it into the context of something larger but I don’t know what that would be at this point. I’m pretty sure these back & forth ‘conversations’ are just amusing to the two involved…
But anyway – if I’ve hijacked on one of your posts on WordPress or Facebook, I probably should apologize…I’m sorry but I cannot help myself. Don’t hate me because I’m compelled. And verbose…and think myself witty…regardless of the truth….
Yes, that in fact is about the jist of it…

Wow!! Did not know there was an actual term for my favorite blog behavior! You are a hijacker after my own heart 🙂 And to think I was the only one who loves and dies for the comments! So glad I have found my people 🙂
C’mon over to my blog and hijack to your hearts content! There is nothing as scintillating as the effortless yet skillful banter between two ( or more) witty commentors, oh the joy of snappy repartee!
All I can say is WHOO! HOO! I shall be over soon…and yes, there’s a name for all things 🙂
Yup, I’ve noticed 🙂 It’s actually quite rare on WordPress I find! You are definitely the most prolific commenter I know, you’re like a tube of Pringles, once you pop you can’t stop!
I like it though; it’s different, it’s fun and who doesn’t like lots of comments on their posts? 🙂
Hijack away and don’t let anyone cramp your commenting style Denise!
Rohan.
Thanks Rohan – I must be filled with MSG, like Pringles…
And I cannot help myself ~
Ah no, you’re much more nourishing that pringles, and you don’t leave me with a sore stomach either lol!
Rohan.
That’s b/c I’ve not had to karate kick you in the tummy 🙂 That’s my advanced move.
Hijack away, Denise! It’s what makes you awesome
Hee hee – aw… you’re too sweet…you’re my favorite nekkid blogger.
And this is when we need individual “like” buttons for the comments on your posts….
Awww….
I love the back and forths that sometimes come out of posts. Often, it’s my favorite part. That said, please, hijack away.
I love your blog – so NOT A PROBLEM!
Merbear and I just created our own blog of our witty repartee. It . . . entertains us anyway.
Who doesn’t love repartee!!!!
1950s retro repartee!
giggles ~
Oh yeah I can’t pass my a dry erase board without writing either – well, mostly I doodle pictures on there, but sometimes I write too.
My notes are always dooooodled and I suck at drawing – but I love to write stuff – any place I can.
In the “olden days” people used to write back and forth to each other in the Letters to the Editor page. You could see the angry back and forth for weeks. Early facebook! Now I content myself by using blogs as ims. So how have you been? Really? Me too, except the hamster escaped! (share laugh)
Mawhaha – I wont tell Richard Gear about the hamsters!
SOMETHING MUST BE DONE ABOUT THIS COUNTRY’S BANANA CRISIS!!!
Sorry, what were we talking about?
I think Mojo Nixion – did you know restaurant that I love to eat breakies at charges $3.50 for a freakin’ BANANA? That is a crisis – I’m glad you are on top of it.
Have you ever heard of a funicular?
It’s said that the first Funiculars were invented by a bunch of grad students after a very long night involving vodka martinis and squirt cheez.
The crisis of squirt cheeze has superseded our funicular use on Wednesdays. I posit that we start using coconuts instead of plums.
This isn’t going to cut into our discussions of the relative merits and values of fur-based currency as seen through the eyes of Thundercats, is it?
Of course not – I think it’s all about the fuzzy ocelots.
Snarf.

Reblogged this on Anne Squared and commented:
Priceless! Read the comments, also….
Thanks Anne!
Thank you!!
This might bother some people, but not me. So keep doing it quite often. I like cake. Rainbows are neat.
I like cheese. And John Lynch movies.
Jethro Tull only won because of the Grammy’s unfamiliarity with metal. Except in her hip.
hee hee…..
Love this!!! 😀
🙂
Ha! How many times have I helped you do it? Poor TD has had many a reason to wonder who own Stuphblog! I love your hijacking. PS what’s a dry erase board?
A whiteboard that has dry erase markers –
We’re both beasties who hijack 🙂
You know we all live for your comments.
Um – yes….
I mean it. Your comments are a highlight!
Aw Kylie – I just love you!
Awwwww!!!!
If hijacking is going back and forth with witty (possibly) banter in the comments section, is lowjacking reading all the comments but never saying anything?
EXACTLY my witty friend!
Witty? Who me? Well, I guess sometimes. There were lots of classes on that in Jester school, but I didn’t always pay attention…
meh – you don’t learn wit, it’s inside your soul…
I have a soul? I thought I sold that years ago… Interesting. Or did that happen to someone else? It’s hard to remember things.
the leftover soul is pretty funny
Dang… just imagine how funny I could be if I’d kept the whole thing?
We’ll never know now, eh?
Alas, it seems that is the case. Oh well, I guess you’re just stuck with sort of funny me. 😛
I’m good with that!
Hooray!!
On a completely unrelated topic, if you happen to find a piece of paper in your travels (in your research?) that says “Matticus’ soul” I would be very interested in its whereabouts.
I shall keep my eyes peeeeeled
To me, there’s no point in blogging if there’s not a conversation. I’m more likely to comment on a blog when the writer responds to comments. Otherwise, it’s just like talking to myself. I probably have a hundred notes that I saved from highschool written by you and me. I don’t know how we managed to graduate!
Because we’re smart and witty! And yes, the comments are the best!!!!
“But you don’t have to read it if you don’t want to”—Exactly right. I agree–that back and forth banter is what makes this whole thing so much fun. Feel free to hijack away!
I am holding everyone to this 🙂
🙂
I get Stockholm Syndrome just thinking of you hijacking my threads.
Ok Patty Hurst!
If that’s what it takes to get me into a John Waters film, so be it.
Me too! I love John Waters!
Well, it’s settled then. We’ll each take turns hijacking each others threads and see if that works. If not, we might have to escalate to actual kidnappings.
Of course we’ll have to find a medial mongrel er mogul or whatever to do that too…
Indeed. Any targets in mind?
I’m seriously lacking in knowledge of moguls.
Let’s try google! Google knows everything.
NOOOOO!
Bow before GOOGLE!
NEVER!
Wait a minute! We should kidnap google! Just think of all the people who rely on google to guide very decision they make… We could make the big bucks on this one, I tell ya!
Mawhahahahaha… wait, are you trying to get the secret police breathing down my neck?
Everything has risk, right? Anyway, I think we could get the cash we need from Bing. He has powerful, rich backers and he wants to see google go down. I’ll see if I can sell him on the idea. If he doesn’t have enough, I’m sure we can get Yahoo! to support our plans.
Ha! I think we could do great things.
Do you think this qualifies as a thread hijack?
Si
But wait – it’s my own thread… so maybe this is just gratuitous wit.
Hmm… The best things in life are gratuitous.
like fish.
I am unfamiliar with this phenomenon.
I know – you’re not verbose
Noooo…I’m succinct. But I do enjoy our banter.
You can hijack my thread any time. That sounds so dirty ;D
hee hee – not family-friendly 🙂
I could use a Thread Hijacker on my blog from time to time.
I’m THERE!
Denise, you can hijack my comment thread anytime you like, you witty girl you.
Ha! 80 comments later you might be thinking something different
Nah…nonsense!
Denise,
I’ve never seen this from you. Ever.
Le Clown
And you have never complained about it either – never.
Denise,
I never complain, ever.
Le Clown
Ever.
(are your pants on fire?)
Denise,
Pants? Who wears pants…
Le Clown
Pantaloons- it has the word “loon” in it – that’s significant
Denise,
Let’s agree on pjloons, and I’ll let this one go.
Le Clown
But I’m a contrarian. I do like PJLoons… it kind of says it all. And, more importantly, did I win?
Denise,
Of course you didn’t.
Le Clown
Bastard Loon
That’s what makes you fun!
Whoopie! But how to harness that into cold hard cash??
Funny you should mention this…
Hee hee – I have a feeling if we went to school together we’d have filled a NOVEL with our writing.
possibly… quite possibly….
Definitely!
