The Ultimate Thread Derail Game

[Amicale]

The rules:

1. start off with a sentence/statement about anything you'd like (within the board rules and within reason, of course).
2. the next person to see what you wrote has to acknowledge it in some way, but then has to try to spectacularly derail the thread.
3. the last person who is able to keep their sentence/statement up without someone derailing it WINS.

Ready? GO!

I love playing games. Thread Derailing sounds too easy, however.  If you lay a thread on a train track, it gets derailed fairly easily.  Thread is light, so the wind blows it off.  And you can forget about it staying on the rail if a train passes!  But it can be dangerous, especially if you forget to look for the train while you are railing your thread.  Beware!

Trains reminded me of watching Atlas Shrugged the other day. I didn't read the book, but know how long winded Ayn Rand can be. Needless to say I quickly got bored watching a train travel for close to five minutes with nothing else really happening.

Never read Atlas Shrugged. But I like books. Lately I've been reading lots of comic books, the last one I read was All-Star Superman. Though I was always more of a Batman fan. Something about bats, like the ones I saw in Melbourne's botanical gardens 10 years ago. Australia's such a great country.

Australia is nice, but it has too many deadly animals for my liking. Now, a nice safe miniature hose is perfect for anybody.

There's a disease which is passed from flying foxes to horses which then become terribly fatal to humans.
Still flying foxes are preferable to regular foxes who are very wasteful, biting off chicken heads even though they aren't members of heavy metal bands.

Chicken heads are no fun, they just drip on your shoes.
The fun part is a chicken's foot; you can pull the little sinews in the leg and make the claws move.  This was a favourite game when I was a lad.

I find it is so hard not to have favourites, I mean, my three year old is so adorable at times, but then sometimes she is so out of control, you can't reason with her, so you are tempted to emotionally blackmail her by telling her that her sister is a good girl and being so good she is daddy's favourite.

Do you think this is the way to go, play them off against each other, make them compete for daddy's favor?
I'm just new at this whole parent thing but it seems to work.

I think playing favourites is wrong. However I do think this is my favourite thread in a long while

I was my older sisters favourite, happy times but it wasn't easy, I had to act to maintain our happiness.  Another came and I was merely a favourite.  It'd purr and she'd swoon, it was unnatural and I know I did the right thing ending that thing.  Ever since I've never hesitated in acting on what I know is right.  I know what is right...I am doing a weird psycho thing here, um errr well Stevil started it.

How does anyone ever really know what is right? For that matter, in most situations, aren't there multiple rights and multiple wrongs?

Damn it, I think this is the most on topic post I've ever posted! When we're supposed to stay on topic I can't, and when we're supposed to derail I can't. I'm sure that says something about me.

Speaking of me, I have to give a presentation to 120 people today. I don't feel nervous, which is worrying in and of itself. Has the shock of having to present to such a large crowd made me go dead inside?

I've always kinda of felt things though I don't think those things are quite the same as others I know seem to think.
Dead, dead ye I know I'm mostly dead inside but still I still try to make connections.
The Luke Sky Walker guy was on the Simpsons and he told Homer to use the fork...
There's depths in that you common folk won't understand but I stayed home tonight pondering it, you have to take the wide view you know...

My goodness, those are some deep ponderings, Puddin'.

Your mention of a fork reminds me of the spoon/spork debate occurring on one of the other threads. I'm partial to spoons. Little spoons. I find giant soup spoons cumbersome.

For depths,  read an unnecessarily complicated inner life, usually conjoined with excessive  and fruitless introspection. Whatever you may say about Eskimos , in their favour they eschew abstract speculation.  Give them a harpoon and a signed photograph of Bjork and they are content.

[The Magic Pudding]

OK we're rule eschewing atheists but I'll attempt to set a precedent and attempt to include the two prior posts that responded  to....

cumbersome
content

It is so cumbersome being content these days, I've got my Ithing but I'm supposed to be concerned for some white monster bear and Justin is so sweet but I have to like someone with less perfect hair.  You know I'm going to explode sometime soon, why can't I just like nice stuff???
