I'm sorry JJ, you still have your sheep belt. Not up there with the demi-gods of hijacking

Multi-layered hijacks, if performed by non-professional hijackers and screwed up royally, can be dangerous to their health. One of the professionals may come in and kick them to the curb, or worse!

The multi-layered laminated hijack leads me on to the hardest known to man hijack, yes the Diamond Hijack. A multifaceted hijack of enormous value and it can only be cut into by another Diamond Hijack. Occasionally there may be a few inclusions but these tend to lower the value and the expert would soon pick this up and discard it.

Diamond Hijack, eh? Has anyone ever really accomplished a complete, authentic and documentable Diamond Hijack?? Perhaps this is the "Holy Grail" of hijacks, Adrian. A hijack category to be attempted (by only the most elite of hijackers), but rarely executed. We always need a goal to strive toward - this seems to be a good one!

I went for a ride on my bike yesterday. The trails were wet from all the rain.

Uh oh...










All in all a fun time.


Gee I hope I didn't disrupt the flow of the thread.

This thread reminds me of an ADD convention.

I've had a few of them too *sob

I think we need a bit of a recap on what this thread is about, well it's about going off topic. Therefore the real masters of the hijack have refrained from doing this and as such have deftly hijacked the thread. We did leave several clues throughout but to no avail. Oh well back to the telly.

The initial problem with this thread is that it never had a topic off which to go. This is the glaring mistake of the rank amateur. A well hijacked thread must always start off with a specific topic. Without a topic, there is nothing to hijack, the present thread being the prime example. The more serious the topic, the better the opportunity for a well aimed hijack attack.

In addition, there are certain members (who shall go nameless, but whose initials are trailertrash1957 and farmhand76) whose threads are often prone to a good hijacking. The topics they lead with are fodder for a hijack. You amateurs and hijack wannabes should watch for the next few threads started by these members and see how a good hijacking begins.

I'm sorry, Jim.

But... you have to admit - things have improved for you and ol' ThreadWreaker1957, haven't they?!?

Truly then the only un-hijackable thread is a thread setting out to be hijacked by having it's subject matter originally based around highjacking!!!!!

We've been onto you for years, jimseypoo76. If you thought you could pull the wool over the mods eyes with the Kiwi's sheep, you are sadly mistaken.

You got it, ol' Bitsybottoms76. You cannot hijack a thread that is itself about hijacking. It's an oxymoron that encompasses circular reasoning, always returning to the same starting point - the hijack.

Well, that is strictly Ed's theory, Jim. I submit that an effective hijack can be had, even on a thread that has no topic other than to invite people to post in it. The hijacks are actually integral to the thread itself. By that I mean, the hijacks are perpetrated on the people who subsequently post in the thread. Adrian and I touched on this phenomena when we discussed multi-layered, laminated, or ultimately, the legendary Diamond Hijack.

Are we clear on that now, Jim?!?

Please see my possible workaround to this conundrum above, Ed.

Well, that's true, Allan. But it's the exception that proves the rule. And as has been said elsewhere in this hijacked, but hijackless, thread, amateurs and novices should not try this except under the strictest of supervision. Under no circumstances should a rank amateur try this at home. The consequences could be disastrous.

Couldn't agree with you more, my friend! Come to think of it, we could hire out our services to TEACH the skills inherent in Master Hijacking to the unskilled. For a hefty price, of course.

Are you talking to yourself again old-timer?

[East Bay Rider]

You guys have done a great job keeping this thread on topic; hijacking.

Certainly not, son! Where did you ever come up with that idea???

I'm carrying on a lucid, fascinating conversation about hijacking (something with which you are intimately familiar) with Ed and ol' ThreadRuiner76. Now run along and play, Frans.

I would want to set up an application test first to ensure that we got the right kind of student. We can't let any old riff raff into the secrets of the Master Hijacker. One must go through a rigorous pre-screening process to determine their mental agility, psychological capabilities, their mental resolve, their ability to think clearly under the most difficult of hijacking situations, and their steadiness under hijacking stress.

My take is that we would have an 8 in 10 drop out rate, and that's only at the pre-screening application stage.

But for the select few who have the right qualifications, it could become an exciting opportunity to enter the rarified world of the Master Hijacker.

Now Ed, Bill's comment here would fit into your threory, wouldn't it? I mean, we ARE keeping the thread on topic, hence not hijacking it. Very existential, indeed!

There you go, Bill. You have identified the basic problem with this whole thread. It's about hijacking. But worse, when we do try to hijack the thread, you have drawn it back to it's original topic - hijacking.

That is the cardinal sin of a successful hijacking. You cannot return to the original topic. For shame.

See my response to Bill, Allan. Exactly what I told him.

Excellent, succinct outline of a very promising enterprise, Ed!

I agree 100% that we must, I repeat, we MUST maintain the integrity of the Brotherhood of Master Hijackers by thoroughly screening these clowns up front.

I bet we could make a fortune, if we could only get them through the application stage!

Will you please stop hijacking an otherwise successful hijack by me and Allan. If you cannot stay on topic, then just sit on the sidelines and watch the experts at work.

Hear! Hear!!!

Are you guys just going to be talking about hijacking or are you guys actually going to do something? Like they say, actions speak louder than words! This thread is starting to get boring!
