Default The Sandbox- new idea for thread hijackers

Good morning all- This message is intended as a tongue-in-cheek comment
for the vast majority of you, who are good and friendly folks. Have any of
you ever posted a thread/made an inquiry you thought was important, only
to see it get derailed in 2 seconds? I have a solution! The net54 "sandbox":

The net54 sandbox is a safe place to play for posters who simply can't- or
more accurately, won't- stay on point. If you can't resist the urge to hijack
a thread, just come here and vomit out your unnecessary verbiage!

How to tell if you belong in the sandbox:

1) If you have an IQ in the higher double digits or above, it's easy to know.
The first indication is noticing your comment doesn't touch on the
actual topic of a thread. For example, let's say someone posts this
question- "Who was the better 1960s NL pitcher, Gibson or Koufax?"
If the Force is strong in you to reply "Steve Carlton", you belong in
the sandbox! Unsure if you belong? Ask a friend to proofread your reply.

2) if you ever feel like typing "Not to derail the thread, but..." you
absolutely belong in the sandbox.

3) If you are Peter Spaeth or G1911, you have a designated space waiting
for you in the sandbox. Welcome aboard, start building those verbal
sandcastles you enjoy foisting on others!!!

I consider this my good deed of the day. Keep in mind, this is "Off Topic"
sarcasm of the truest kind, off topic commentary about being off topic.
It's not serious at all- for MOST of you

Happy collecting, may you score a great card today! Trent King

Have you noticed that commas can be difficult? A tendency to overuse them is a very common affliction.

For example: "This message is intended as a tongue-in-cheek comment for the vast majority of you, who are good and friendly folks."

What is the purpose of the comma above? Totally unnecessary.

And then this: "Have any of you ever posted a thread/made an inquiry you thought was important, only to see it get derailed in 2 seconds?

What is the reason for this comma? None.

And then this: "If you can't resist the urge to hijack a thread, just come here and vomit out your unnecessary verbiage!"

Also no need for the comma above.

But here we have a run-on: "Welcome aboard, start building those verbal sandcastles you enjoy foisting on others!!!

This is known as a comma splice. You have put together two sentences with just a comma in between. You have several choices to fix it. You could use a period or a semicolon. You could even use a comma with a conjunction like "and". But the comma by itself is incorrect.

I'd like to sarcastically suggest that if you can't master middle school grammar, you shouldn't post more than one sentence at a time!

There. Did I hijack properly?

Scott- Since you asked, I'll give you a D for your reply. You didn't actually
hijack, you missed the point. However, you went out of your way to provide a
grammar lesson, which is usually the last refuge of the desperate. (I gave you
a D instead of failing you, as you at least attempted snark). Trent King

Speaking of sandboxes; does anyone have any ideas of the true population of 1922 Eastern Exhibit black and whites?

Last I checked, they were just graded under the generic '1922 Eastern Exhibit' umbrella.

Haha, I like rare Babe Ruth items so I'm keeping this one for now!
If anyone else has any rare Babe Ruth items, feel free to post them here - I'd love to see them!

Not to hijack the thread, but the grammar mistake that most annoys me is the mis-use and over-use of apostrophes. They are not used when designating a noun as plural, Example:

I Need some Topps 1966 high number's.

I don't think I want to play in a sandbox with the guy who threw a public tantrum because someone was against literally lynching people they don't like. Doesn't seem like a safe space!

Depends if the links are also angry if people are just generally against mob homicides. If so, no. If not, yes.

G1911- your comments about "mob homicides" are wildly inaccurate and
obnoxious, even for you. Remarkable how well you stay on point when your
pride has been wounded- how about that! Trent King

You just made a thread to bitch because Peter and I didn’t circlejerk your view in the A-Rod thread. You’ve gone so far in your over a year long vendetta as to attack over statements against literally lynching people just because I said it (or because you actually are a violent nutball, I don’t know or really care which). Your stalker obsession is fucking weird lol. Not understanding the difference between off-topic and an opinion you disagree with or just being a dipshit is pretty normal fair, but you routinely go a step beyond into pretty fucking weird.

If you applied this energy into something productive, you could probably make some cool discoveries for the hobby. You could have some really cool research pieces into whatever your niche is and add to the group knowledge base. Maybe try that.

Leon has been kind enough to set up a safe space staffed with trauma therapists.

Phil/Casey- I think we need a safe space away from 1911, believe me...

1911- Funny you mention meaningful hobby thoughts, etc. I do have those,
I share them with people I trust who enjoy the hobby. You don't make the
list... On a side note, it's ironic and amusing to imagine you boiling with rage
as you write about how irrational I am. Sounds like a Monty Python skit,
but for the fact that you're not the least bit amusing. Trent King

Well, there is the use of plural possessive. For instance:
...players' salary demands...

Speaking of salaries, can you believe what starting pitchers are making these days? I mean, an eight figure payday for chumps who would have been career minor league middle-of-the-rotation guys back in the day.

Back in the day. Where the hell did that term come from? I guess they made it up (wait for it) back in the day.

Oh, that reminds me about something "made up" recently. NFTs. Yep, those million dollar digital thingies collectors were going crazy over not too long ago. Those fools really lost their shirt.

Lose your shirt. Hmmm. "Deep Thoughts" time. Is it worse to lose your shirt when it's cold outside, or only if you're not indoors?

Before you all show me the door, I just have one more question:

If a chicken and a half can lay an egg and a half in a day and a half, how long does it take a monkey with a wooden leg to kick all the seeds out of a dill pickle?

How'd I do?

Geddy Lee’s favorite “The Tragically Hip” song was 50 Mission Cap ,
The lead singer got a large part of the lyrics off of the back of a 1991 NHL Pro Bill Barilko #340 hockey card .

Sorry, but your post struck me as the epitome of snarky. I attempted as much snark in reply as I could.

So in the spirit of kindness, I won't mention your run-on sentence in the quote above. Instead, let me recommend a book for you: Perfect English Grammar: The Indispensable Guide to Excellent Writing and Speaking. It's only $10 on Amazon.

I do applaud your love of Rush, though.

And do you ever wonder why they don't put windmills on freeways? You have all these cars driving 80mph producing enormous wind. (If you've ever broken down on the side of the freeway you'd understand.) Why not install some small windmills somewhere along the freeway to capture all that wind being generated by the cars?

When I was a kid, for years I thought Stan Musial was Stan Musical. I had read about him and it was only when I finally heard it pronounced aloud that I realized my mistake.

I used to play golf with Stan Musial. I’ve forgotten what his last name was.

# # #


How'd I do?
No offense but you did terrible .
What a poorly worded question .
#1 - which leg does the monkey kick with ?
.. The wooden one or the real one ?
Also is the monkey left-handed or right handed ?
How can you expect an answer with such vague information ?
If you can’t do better go ahead and head for the door
Thanks

SAllen- You ever heard the expression "Don't get in a peeing contest with
a skunk"? No? Look it up, learn it, apply it... I don't respect your incorrect
corrections and will not be persuaded otherwise- it's a non-starter.

To the folks who actually understand the spirit of the sandbox (as close to the
Rush reference I could get), keep it up!!

To the folks who actually understand the spirit of the sandbox (as close to the
Rush reference I could get), keep it up!!

I have heard of this Rush you speak of. From my understanding from many PBS after school specials in the 70s. This is the best song ever and second place is so far behind we as a species have not made up that word yet. I hear a heroic dose of psychedelics really helps.

That's a classic! Did you know that Rush's first single was a Buddy Holly cover?

Nice

Since we are talking Rod Carew and hip hop. Sadly I missed this concert by 2 days. I already had my trip booked before I knew they would be there.

I find Rush offensive and threatening because I identify as a sloth.

I can’t believe I actually scrolled to the end of these replies… I found it oddly interesting.

I never liked tic tacs. They are so small. What is the point?

If I did not see the record label I would swear it was Alvin and the Chipmunks on helium.

If you can’t do better go ahead and head for the door

The monkey is left-handed but right-footed.

He also likes pie. Or is it pi? It's hard to tell sometimes with seed-kicking monkeys.

Ding, ding, ding! Correct!

(although whatever answer you gave would have been correct)

Tip o' the hat to you, sir. Let me get you a (virtual) drink, on the house.

Hell, I'm in a good mood...and virtual drinks don't cost me anything...so let me get a round for everyone.
  • 21 or older only, we don't want to get Leon in trouble
  • Hell, Leon can have two drinks
  • All drinks are virtual, dehydrated, fantasy beverages
  • No refunds, returns, exchanges, or bellyaching

ETA: I had a 12 year that I babied for a few years, and haven't run across another one. Didn't realize they had released the 13. When my Rare Breed runs out, gonna try it!
