I am the Thread Creep or Professional Thread Jacker, at your service
Okay, first of all, I'm not this bad.
Second, though, yes, I do hijack threads from time to time as the artist of this illustration, Jenn Thorson, can tell you because I did it over on her Facebook page.
Her comment was this:

Her comment was this:
The tiling's all done on the fireplace I'm installing. Now I get to paint the fire surround, and drill big holes in my wall.... Er, well, I HOPE they won't be BIG holes. Pennsylvania only needs the ONE Grand Canyon.
From that seemingly innocent discussion began a thread on the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon that I felt obliged to weigh in on since I live near said Pennsylvania Grand Canyon. Not only did I respond to Jenn, but also to her other commenters.
Jenn thanked me thusly:
Heh, thanks to our lovely and talented Facebook page cohost Bryan for his informative sharing. :)
Later Jenn wrote:
Woot! Got all the trim and fancy wood parts on the fireplace I've been installing-- of course, the house is old and nothing is QUITE at right angles, so leveling or centering things actually makes everything look Wonderland wonky.
Which of course prompted me to respond:
I think we should have an offshoot on the topic "Wonderland," like the last time you talked on this topic and mentioned "The Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania." Which Wonderland do you mean? The park? The ballroom? The drug and alcohol treatment facility? http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=wonderland&aq=f&aqi=g10&oq=&fp=b8148470ea1f7ec2 ;)
To which Jenn responded:
You know, I'm starting to get an understanding of why your sister feels the need to torment you so. :) I shall dub you Thread Creep. ;)
When I responded that I've been called worse, The Wife, ever one to defend my honor had this to say:
Hell, he's BEEN worse.
Thanks, hon.
Of course, though, she's right. I have BEEN worse. Even now I'm contemplating how to torture my sister on Facebook while she's sick at home.
Hmmmm.....lemme think.

Not THAT bad? I want to hear from Jenn! Bring it on Jenn. Hit 'em where he lives. :-P
Well, it good to see you have recovered from the flu. Looks as if you'll need your strength. ;)

I don't get this at all, but it sounds like all you were having a lot of fun! :)

threadcreep, isnt that when your sweater comes unraveled?
Heh, well, I can't say he's ever taken one of my posts and held it at gunpoint. But then again, he's probably on a lot of meds right now; he really shouldn't have access to guns.
And poor MikeWJ up there ends up confused and disoriented because of the thread creep back and forth. It's okay, Mike, really. It's probably one of those "You Had To Be There" moments.
Totally as an aside, Bryan, why is the Cancel button on your comments so frikkin much larger than the Submit button? I always end up hitting Cancel instead of Submit, and then I have to type my comment all over again.

Jenn: I didn't notice it be any larger. Just one is front of the other. I can take it up with the Echo people, though.
Yes.
Ooooh, where are you? :)
It's like Jenn said, you had to be there, I guess. I'm sick so probably don't know what I'm saying.
Yes, I'll be there to harass you all....soon. :)
Torture me on facebook? Oh I would have preferred that over the phone calls of, "Are you still sick?" "Are you still sick?" ... "Hey, still sick?" Yeah, at least I can delete you on Facebook.

Want to leave a long, rambling diatribe on the state of world affairs? Have at it...somewhere else. I'm the unfinished rambler here. But feel free to leave your aphorisms, especially encomiums, panegyrics to the author. Feel free to consult a thesaurus like I did.
