... as "How long to get distracted...? Your predictions... "
Which formerly had the following intro (i think the answer was about 10 - but i've given up on that idea and decided to let the majority rule!!).
Ok, it was mentioned to me a couple of weeks back, that none of the threads on tMP stay on topic for very long, they all seem to mutate into a random conversation about something completely unrelated to the original purpose of the thread.
So aas a competition (the winner gets a pint from me next time i see you), to the nearest number of threads, how long will this thread stay on topic.
The rules are simple, in your reply, tell me how many threads it'll take and put whatever else you feel like. The first instance where three consecutive posts are made more than a couple of hours apart, and from different people that are wholly unrelated to the topic, is the winning number. Taken from the third thread (hence you cannot have less than 4 as your prediction).
If i suspect anyone is deliberately trying to change the topic, then they are disqualified. My decision is final.
I predict 47 posts. (including this one).
Oi!
they do not all mutate..
you are making enemies of the moderators buster...
yeah... the mods work very hard to keep things on the right track. however, my money's on 20!

Surely, if the post is about getting distracted, then anything off-topic has by definition to also fit the bill just as well :wink: :lol: :lol:

Ok, so maybe mutate is not the right turn of phrase, I know not to mess with a mod when i see one. especially if she's called rachel ;). but certain topics have once or twice been known to mention one or two points not 100% related to the original thread. occasionally. maybe... probably not...

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen, here's a little number I tossed off recently in the carribean"
Here is the "Bruces Philosophers Song", edited where necessary!
Immanuel Kant was a real ****-ant who was very rarely stable.
Heideggar, Heideggar was a boozy beggar who could
think you under the table.
David Hume could out-consume Schoppenhauer and Hegel.
And Whittgenstein was a beery swine who was just as sloshed as Schlegel.
There's nothing Nieizsche couldn't teach 'ya
'bout the raising of the wrist.
Socrates, himself, was permanently ******.
John Stewart Mill, of his own free will
On half a pint of shanty was particularly ill.
Plato they say could stick it away,
Half a crate of whiskey every day.
Aristotle, Aristotle was a ****** for the bottle,
And Hoppes was fond of his dram.
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart.
"I drink, therefore I am."
Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed;
A lovely little thinker, but a ****** when he's ******.
