Staying On Topic

I hope the moderators join me in hoping you will confine your posts to the topic of the thread, rather than your personal opinions of other posters or in trying to expose personal information about them.

 

Seems we all stray from the topic from time to time. Even Bob. What cracks me up is Bob feels it necessary to chide everyone about it but when someone chides him he claims he is being attacked!

 

Does everyone feel staying on topic is important or should a new topic be spun off?

I feel there are time when the topic, for lack of a better word, "grows" as the discussion continues and don't see the need to spin off a new topic or chide those who stray.

In fact, one of my all time favorite atheletes is Tiger Woods!

 

(oops, was that too far off-topic?)

I like thread drift, it can be entertaining, it is much like a regular conversation. You can start off talking about the game on Sunday, mention a play which reminds someone of a game they saw with Denver five years ago, that brings in Denver and someone else recalls a bar in Denver, and so on and so on and scooby-dooby-dooby-do.

...and so on and so on and scooby-dooby-dooby-do.

 

Everyday People, Sly and the Family Stone, 1968.

 

Or is that too far off-topic?

 

And by the way, I think there is an extra "dooby" in there... brother.

Are you implying that us Scouters can't stay on topic?

Why that's just...

Oh look, is that a Red Tail Hawk?

 

ADHD has not definitely been tied to either cultural or biological/hereditary sources, so ya'll are on your own.

 

Howbout that Walt Johnson, uh?

My favorite Scooby Doo episode was the one with the old sea captain, which is a classic, made before the era of that idiotic puppy power Scrappy.

 

And speaking of sea captains....

Does anyone have a diagram of who "picks" on who around here?

"Scooby, dooby doo"

Hey I thought it was Frank Sinatra and 'Strangers in the Night'.

And, BTW, I think playing golf is not athletic...I'm with Twain - it's a "good walk spoiled".

 

Everyone is ready to pounce on everybody. Kind of like a game of tag. Just good fun.

Is there a "picking order"?

[Gold Winger 9]

I think that it's a Sharp Shinned Hawk.

"Howbout that Walt Johnson, uh?"

 

Big Train! Reportly the only major league player to have a high school named after him although Roberto Clemente has a couple middle schools named for him.

Yep, there is a Walter Johnson High School in Potomac Maryland. Big rival of my High School, Winston Churchill. A favorite quote:

 

Bessie Braddock: Sir, you are drunk.

Churchill: Madam, you are ugly. In the morning, I shall be sober.

Gee, I hope I never get as distractable as you guys knock on wood,

 

 

 

Is that that front door or the back door?

[scoutldr 732]

Well, my money's on the Phillies....if I have any left after the fat cats get "bailed out".
