The big anti-hijack thread.....
Talk about anything, but if this works than we don't have to keep looking around all the threads to see who is still on tonight, and every night, or even every day! Talk about the chiefs, talk about tomorrow, talk about football, politics or even how to do flooring and the applicable budget. What you're drinking, how hard it is to sleep, etc. Every thing is acceptable in this thread.....
Rum is a little too sweet for me. I know somebody who had an "accident" involving Captain Morgan.
I can tolerate shots of Jose Cuervo, but not enough to try again. Cuervo doesn't go down smoothly. I say stick with whiskey or vodka if you go the liquor route.

Back in the days when the Planet only had a thousand or so posts a day, the day guys would start football related discussion and expect to come back the next morning to carry on with those discussions, only to find the Night Crew would have hijacked the best ones and turned them into poop threads, etc.
Ah, those were the days. Or so I hear. That s**t was pre-me.
I thought ENDelt was the key ingredient to the night crew(from what I heard at least)

I just like not having to jump around to different threads. I'm lazy at night, but I still want to be involved and give my 2 cents.

The good thing about a night crew thread is that it keeps moving. With the decreased post volume it dies off if the posts are spread around.

Thread hijackings were still common when I joined, but they started to taper off during the last off-season and now they're non-existant. Threads don't seem to hang on the first page for very long anymore either so it's not like hijacking one would even matter anyway.

He was the first to 50,000 and that happened not very long after I got here more than 3 years ago, if that tells you the rate he was going at in the early years.
