The Amazing Tangent Thread (aka You Can't Derail A Thread With No Rails To Begin With)

[UberMore]

"Do you have a flag?" "No, we bloody live here now piss off!" "Weee have a flag!"

"Are you OK" "Of course I'm not OK, I'M COVERED IN BEES!"

"Ciao!"

I just finished House of Leaves. It was interesting how it stretched the boundaries of its medium to aid in the storytelling.

Don't underestimate the power of derailing. If I had the interest, I could probably derail a thread like this.

Nice to know that I wasn't the only one thinking about that, i'm pretty sure it's possible.

It's not only possible, I've done it before.

Like that time we derailed that thread with our Warhammer 40k banter? That was fun.

Reminds me of the time me and Neonbob derailed two threads at once by progressively shouting "BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD" louder and louder.

Good times.

What do you think of threads that have no rails and merely serve the purpose of random talk?

Ha HAH see what I did there! Now it's on the topic of being off-topic!

I just conquered Greece in Rome - Total War.

Someone tell me how awesome this game is. Someone. Please. I'm beginning to think the Escapist doesn't know this game, owing to the huge number of hints I've dropped about it in the last two days with absolutely no responses.

Don't worry my friend. I know exactly what game your on about. It will be loaded up when im finished with my buisness on the internet. Im currently knocking seven bells out of the Egyptians

Me too

Does anyone know that the Earth's Magnetic poles changed millions of years ago so technically the North Pole is magnetically south and Vice Versa?

They've been changing regularly for so long that no-one can know which way round it was in the first place, so basically:

With no undue offence to Zynga supporters, of course

To Derail a thread is to remove it from the original intent, yes?

the intent of this thread is that it has no rails in which to derail, am I right?

Therefore to derail this thread, I would need to add some rails, as that would detract from the original intent of no railage, if you get me?

But then this thread would have rails and would not then be derailed, so in order to derail the thread, One would have to remove the rails, which would put the thread back on the metaphorical rails, as dictated in the Original Post? but then that would mean I would have to derail the thread by adding rails...

that either makes perfect or no sense.

I think my brain just asploded. Anyway, have some rails.

but how do we rail an underailable especially since there are people are putting conversations about random conversations

I'm playing bass!

Sweet. Think you can recite the bass part from The Faint's "I Disappear"?

Here's a link to the song if you've never heard it before: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1q8eByzJseY&playnext_from=TL&videos=uEgrgA2AUOs

Riddle me this folks..

The cake is a cake,
the lie is a lie,
the pie is a pie,
the lie is the pie,
and the cake isn't a lie.

What is the cake?

Simple. The cake is a pie.

The Chelsea Match Was Good. yeah im a CFC fan, but the game was a bit dull the first half. Villa didnt attack and chelsea couldnt string anything meaningful together due to the good defence they put up.... its a wonder what Drogba's shit scrappy goal made... seemed to break Villa's spirit and boost Chelsea's Significatly.
Sorry, was that slightly to anaylitical for a thread that has no real meaning?

I think, therefore I am. If I think nothing, am I nothing?

On that note, why are there so many Goddamn ostriches? And there's another thing! I stepped outside to play tennis today, and the whole courtyard was littered with dead bees! The fucking beetards were so stupid they froze to death overnight!

I've decided to sit down this week and start beating some games I never finished. I beat GTA 4 a few days ago, now on to The Saboteur.

Can promoting my own thread derail the underailable?
