It's a lot of work, though. First, you've got to travel back in time and somehow get your parents killed by a criminal, and... well, already it's looking pretty hopeless. What with time travel being impossible.

If it were possible, though, what would you use time travel for?

Naah, I'll pay them off and get them to fake their deaths and move to the Bahamas. Then I'll hire Michael Caine to be english at me.

But then I'd remember what you said about time travel, and being Bruce Wayne I would invent time travel the Seto Kaiba way; by screwing the rules and having money.

At which point I would have to put being Batman on hold and instead travel the universe with Michael Caine in my blue box of awesome.

And then I would punch out a bear. But that goes without saying.

Objection!

Ha. You all think you're derailing this thread?

~Awesome Edgeworth GIF Snip~

The very fact that this thread is about derailed threads gives it a perfect licence to take on the apperance of a derailed thread without actually becoming one

Therefore! All of your arguements are INVALID!

But you see good sir, If this is infact a derail centric thread, then in order to truly derail this thread I would have to rerail this thread.
like so​

But in doing so, I have gotten this thread back on track and both the metapohirical and physical rails. This leaves me only one option, to derail the thread

like so​

but by doing this I have derailed a thread which is all about derailing, so I have to derail the thread by rerailing the thread which therefore makes the thread officially rerailed so in order to avert this and derail the thread I therefore have to derail the thread about derailing which infact rerails the thread which now means oh no I've gone all cross eyed.

I think it would be a lot simpler if we all agreed batman fighting a shark with a lightsaber is awesome.​

Of course he could. He'd just use his Bat Sith Lord Repellant, from his trusty utility belt. Back on topic, have you all read some of Michael Tsarion's theories? Stupid, crazy stuff, it's wonderful.

You know Batman's not really a superhero? I mean, he's super rich, but he's not got any powers or stuff. If I won the lottery, I would consider becoming a batman.

Also; cumulus clouds, outrageously racist or woefully misunderstood? Discuss.
But no mere man could be Batman. You don't need a power to be a super-hero, I consider everything he does quite 'super' thank you very much.

Oh and there was this one thread which got many brilliant pages of derailment; I believe there was a period of 'thread derails.'

The best de-railed threads are the ones wherein a troll comes in spewing ignorance and hate and the responders maturely and eloquently respond, only for the troll to come back at them with numerous obscenity-filled rants, and then two or more posters make comedic mince-meat of the troll. It's the most fun when the troll gets reported after threatening people, and it seems to happen more often on threads relating to women or female gamers.

My thread about bunk beds got a lot of people talking about sex. It was really weird, and I'm not sure what happened there.

Probably a thread on another forum where a previously tempbanned user was whining and apologizing without really apologizing.

Then someone said "Not this again. This Thread is now about waffles".

And every post after was about waffles. Except the OP, who was getting upset and whining more. But everyone told him to get back on topic, and resumed the waffle discussion. XD
This is an excellent example, which I can only top with one of my own threads. You see, during the time when I make a poll and the Escapist eats it (Read as "The site flarped up and my poll was never created."), I make a new topic with a working poll and change the other one to something else random.

That's right. I derailed MY OWN THREAD.

This thread seems to be heading down that line now.

Derailment is ok, it expands discussion topics.

Recently, I came across a thread entitled "why do you hate South America?" It was apparently intended to mock another thread called "why do you hate America." One poster responded with something like "penis fish and near-instantaneous death malaria. A troll came on and attempted to take this poster to task, calling him a "doink doorknob" and telling him that "That's Africa." Which it was not. Poster sourced his material, troll tried sourcing an impertinent wikipedia page and continuing his attempts at insults, and a few of us just had fun with him. At one point someone came on to jokingly chide them both and told them to get back on topic: "dick fish." Troll then tried to rearrange the quotes of both the aforementioned poster and myself, failed, and inadvertently referred to HIMSELF as a cock-gobbler. Then he got banned.

Consider your next post wisely, it could be your last as OP!

I swear, I am going to start doing this to re-posts of old threads. Never seen it in action.

[edit] Until now lol.
