thread jacking/off topic...(*please read)

[jocko]

ur a nasty person surv. calling such a fine peace a block, no wonder ur not a poster there. you have to take the glock pledge u know.. I never could get past the resgistration part

[MW surveyor]

jeeeZ - This thread has been jacked!

Hey, if you like Glocks more power to you.

A pledge? Something on the lines of ..... I will never own any other pistol other than a Glock. My Glock can do the most amazing things. It is the absolute best pistol ever made. I will never have any problems with my Glock. If I do have a problem, I will never under pain of instant death and dismemberment admit it to anyone other than a Glock high priest and for sure, never ever mention it on any gun forum.

I gotta go.

I'll check this thread in the morning to see when it gets locked. Later!

[Willieboy]

.... and the evil and sinister MikeyKahr, instigator and puppet master, stands in a shadowy corner rubbing his hands together and giggling gleefully.

Sorry Pain, I just couldn't resist, but I'll try to tone it down going forward. Promise.

[MW surveyor]

Bill, you posted just at the same time as me.

Good one! That MikeyKahr is just one evil person!

Oh darn, now I'll have Bawanna mad at me.

[JimBianchi]

How about those Bears?

Think they can go all the way this year?




Oh, I'm sorry, was I off topic......

[Bawanna]

It would seem that the OP and others who favor less thread jacking are all off line and unable to mount a defense, not that they need one. They have a genuine concern and I think we all will subconciously cut back a bit on the thread drift.

As me and several have discussed on the side, it seems when there are genuine concerns and problems to solve the drift goes away. Case in point, in all the Hee Haw in the one thread Jocko asked about the interface/stripper bar, the heehaw and banter instantly went away and the discussion was back to lets figure out this issue which is our primary goal here helping others and by default ourselves.

At any rate lets not become uncivil to those who aren't here to defend or interact in their own behalf if you get my meaning.

I'd hate to have Pain log in next time only to find his issue is the biggest hee haw thread we've had in a long time.

I'll send a severe reprimand to the evil nephew MikeyKahr and have him seek councilling.

Pattaya - So you have a sceen name of a place in Thailand and have a map of Austrailia as your avatar? Good, you fit right in.

Sorry for taking this thread so far off topic, but Aussie born and raised, been "seeing the world" since 1973, settled in Pattaya, Thailand 1986.

Cheers
PP

[MW surveyor]

Figured that was the case. Got a number of friends that live in Thailand but none in Pattaya! One just quit a good position in Cairo so that he could go back and live the way he wanted to.

[melissa5]

sorry, i saw this and all i saw was thread jacking off......

That's the way I read it at first. I guess I'm just a wicked, wicked monkey!

BTW, this is a stick-up. Gimme all your threads!

[Paladin]

A friend of mine recently went on vacation in Bora Bora. Beautiful place. Would love to visit there some day.

[MikeyKahr]

calling MikeyKahr, calling MikeyKahr

Man, I tell you what - not sure I could be named any more than I have been this day! Evil and instigator!? Y'all trying to get me to take the fall for all the banter around here or get me on johnh's black ball list!?

While I do agree with PaiN that topics sometime tend to drift, I think it's part of what makes KahrTalk KahrTalk. Kahr-related problems are solved, and Kahr-related questions are answered. It doesn't go right to banter all the time (like question asked, 35 posts of banter, question answered in post 37). Sometimes it does go like this (question asked, question answered multiple times and confirmed with proper follow-up, then banter ensues) - the off-topic threadjacking happens after the issues are resolved or when things get settled. If another question arises, the banter slows or ebbs and an answer is again promptly given. Does it sometimes go back to banter? Yes - but not always. And one needs to remember that one doesn't have to read every post unless you want to! Here's what I would have to contribute today:

My PM9's running like a swiss clock, how about yours? Yours too? Great! Ho Hum. Talk to you in 2012.

[Willieboy]

Hey Mikey, we're just funnin with you man. Go back to the new K9 problems thread in the Kahr-Tech section and read what followed after your reference to Jocko's big Italian nose. That was the basis for what you just read.

[Bawanna]

And no worries nephew with JohnH. I just contacted him directly on the super secret private mod text machine. Your golden. He says long as I keep up on the monthly payments your safe as can be.
For some reason he raised the monthly fee but I think that's how blackmail is suppose to work anyhow.

Dang it, look what you guys are doing, your jerking me off topic. I'm the major culprit with this drift issue. I really am. I think when JohnH gets back from the NRA show I better put myself on 30 day suspension, maybe 15 day. 30 would be cruel and unusual punishment.

[MikeyKahr]

And one more point...

And one more point. Some here who would be most "guilty" of thread-jacking or banter or going a bit off-topic (whatever you want to call it) are ones that actually contribute the most and are most helpful to those who have the worst problems. Crack CS team at KahrTalk, free of charge for any who want it 24/7. And we always give the proverbial free return authorization.

PaiN - your PM45 you just bought has been, well, a pain (sorry to hear it!). Do you want me, or straight-laced, stiff-upper-lip and royal wedding watching Willieboy scratching our heads and diagnosing your weapon ("well duh, PaiN, it don't shoot without falling apart!" says MikeyKahr wisely). Or would you rather have the crack staff of jocko, Bawanna, Dietrich, wyntrout, jlottmc, GB___, AZ____ and associates tackling your problems? I'd take the latter (sorry Willieboy, just happened to use your name as an example - right!!)

This is like home. This is my online "family". I take off my shoes and put on my slippers. After e-mails and work responsibilities, this is the first place I want to check. My wife gets a bit jealous when I rev up the computer and hop on here. I would suggest that we should be careful what we ask for, because we might just get it (check back to November 2008).

[Willieboy]

Editted to add:

I just wrote a PM to PaiN and told him I would try to tone down my grab assing ways going forward. While I get a kick out of reading the exchanges between Bawanna and Jocko, and enjoy participating myself in the joking around, I certaining don't want to detract from PaiN's or anyone else's experience on these forums. So, as I told PaiN, I am going to try to tone it down and not take threads off track. I think I'll tickle my wife instead.

Editted to add: I was kidding about ticking my wife. I can barely control myself sometimes and she can't stand me. Even the dog I rescued hates me. I meant what I said though, about toning it down. I respect PaiN for speaking up. It took some courage on his part to bring it up, knowing what an group of off-beat characters hang out here. Good for you PaiN.
