Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you The Official DU Thread-Jacking Squad

Our members are:

whoisalhedges
Screaming Lord Byron
Chavezspeaksthetruth
dolo amber
Fenris
tigereye
JPgray
and myself.

We are available for any thread at almost any time.

In a thread that could use some livening up? CALL THE DUTJS!

Wish you could see a handful of DUers get into circular discussions which ahve little or nothing to do with the subject of the thread? CALL THE DUJTS!

Need a taste of the Lounge in your all-too-serious I/P, Gungeon, or GD 04 thread?

Dicussing something serious and need four or five insensitive DUers to butt in and rant about obscure music and inside jokes for minutes on end? CALL THE DUTJS!

Just simply PM one of us and link us to the thread which you need hijacked, and we'll be there to spruce up the proceeding with references to the A Team, Punk Rock, and other such off-topic items. Think of us as the (very, very) poor man's Justice League of America.

Pay? We can pro-rate it.

Thank you!

RandomKoolzip, vice-chairwoman of the DU Thread-Jacking Squad

the OFFICIAL and ORIGINAL masters of the threadjack are M.A.T.C.O.M.

thank you

M.A.T.C.O.M. was hijacking CatWoman threads before DU even existed, I think.

time to let the young turks take over.

There've been three threads today already that could have used a decent threadjacking, and only the DUJTS had the cojones to move in.

Face it. We're the new gang in town.

The original threadjacking triad!!!

Matcom's
Asshole
THreadjacking
Committee
On
Mayhem (or Mischief, I always forget)

The members are: matcom, ZombyWoof and me.

Look for the M.A.T.C.O.M. label.

Or is that an impossibility?

So, is it a double- or single-entendre day for you, Byron?

Will I need to crack out the shitzu's (sic) again?

Wonders really don't cease, do they?

I thought you were doing it on purpose, to not allow the forces of space and time to collapse into one another or something.

Actually, I thought the move, if it had indeed been a move, would have been brilliant. No paranoia, just admiration.

Why, I can answer -- because I was not sure the universe would have allowed a thread about the Jackers to be jacked by a non-jacker. It's similar to what will happen if the Cubs and the Red Sox ever face each other in the world series -- rather than break one of the curses, the universe will just shatter instead.

How? I don't know. Like Frost or something.

Wade Wells was so much hotter than Maggie Beckett.

Thanks for clearing that up.

OK, I'm not either...but I like the premise. (See: "The Infinite Worlds of Maybe," Lester del Rey.)

I forget anything that isn't related to The Silmarillion.

</that part of my brain does not exist>

I once wrote a 20-page paper on the gender identity of the Dax symbiont in Star Trek (DS9).

By the end, I had developed my very first discernable celebrity girl crush -- not on the actress, but on the character of Jadzia Dax.

That pretty well sucked.

I can't imagine I was ever pure in my head.

See? It's just that simple.

What about Falco?
Taco?

Huh?

Poco is Spanish for little, after all.

Have we hit 100 posts yet?

Yes.

Right on.

Oh. Damn!

thread?! It looked like the forces of rationality were going to prevail for a minute or three.

I don't care who originated the concept, I think we went so far beyond it to have reached the status of innovators, on par with what the Beatles did with fifties rock.

And on that note......I officially abandon this thread and forage for sustenance.

Can I call you the thread jack asses?

:hi:

Emeritus, maybe, but still a member.

before any of you jackasses ever even registered on DU :evilgrin: :D

Yes. But let's get real: Only the DUJTS will fill an anti-choice thread with references to Blue Oyster Cult or Captain and Tennille while veering completely off-topic. Feminists will stay on topic and DEBATE, while we will step in and steer the conversation towards vital questions like "who played Chewbacca?"

And this is necessary!

where we discussed our favorite types of margaritas in an anti-choice thread...of course, we got spanked by Skinner for it...but we were indeed trendsetters

I could have used you guys for this extraoridarily lame ass post I put up that night. :-)

I dunno... but nice work!

Amateurs and poseurs.

You may threadjack, but unless you can do it with a certain stealth, like some of our more clandestine threadjackers.....I'm afraid it's all for naught.

Unless it can be done surreptitiously, it looses it's appeal...at least for me.

Anyone can blurt out a non sequitur. But real threadjacking is an art.

:evilgrin:

Oh, dammit. You're right! I suck at this!

(To which you reply........................)

Like the FCC, without a promotion

When that song didn't become a hit, I knew the 90's were officially over, and that brief bubble of great radio rock was down the growler.

I'm a barbie girl. In my barbie world.

Then he starts sniffing it.

I mean, seriously

Saying that threadjacking is a craft implies that there is a practical application for it.

I say it's all a bunch of nonsense. :)

We're the official jacking-off squad.

to participate in the threadjack.

That, truly, is threadjacking nirvana.

If you ever manage to get CatWoman like that, it makes her spout obscenities. It's really quite fun.

had a thread hit over 100 posts with ONLY their posts!

:D

:D

(rubbing hands)

100 posts? Pshaw!

Pay attention, young grasshoppers, and learn well.

Pah. You should see her PMs.

Like a longshoreman, I tell ya

My co-workers thought I was insane because all I did was laugh for 15 minutes.

any thing I should consider first?

Are you prepared for the whiplash?

I have got to stop huffing Scotchgard.

Albert Finney.

It was unbelievable.

Laura Branigan will be nothing compared to this loss.

Laura Branigan died?!?! Next you'll tell me Reagan's dead, too. Oh, the manatee!

I just hope Go West is around for a long, long time.

Just like CeCe Peniston did.

You said penis.

And it just slipped out. Of my pants.

And now those children are scarred for life.

Read the tour rider: Braised rabbit and Framboisen in every city! Belgian batards!

Hold me now. Please.

Me maykee moosee on de rum pee bumbee bom

Dey knew eet...but dey did not dew eet.

When fear of the muenstral cycle pervades your every edict, there's seriously something indegistible about your cargo cult.

Ha

due to her bird-like powers.

Ashlee Simpson, Underboss of the Most High Man-Goat!

Feh. I'm sure Bananarama will reunite to destroy her with their lazer-pants.

And I suppose I shall pay them.
At least the grils from All Saints had a tendency towards toplessness.

Unless that pop group is the Red Hot Chili Peppers and their Sixty Foot Heroin Syringe of Frosty Annihilation!

Although, I hold out hope that Nelly Furtado will develop that dire affliction.

Xtina Aguilera merely by having sex with her.

Oh, hang on. She is Dee Snyder.

They can't hold a candle to the Thread-Jacking Underground.

T-ju forever!
