This game started by FMF is about books you may write, and not about books you read.

But I suppose FMF, due to your newfound friendship with him, will let it slip.

I'm afraid to ask who Mrs. Prunehat is, and what she does for a living?

Going by the title she's somebody's wife. And we have already read the story about mentioning others' wives in many editions.

However, I believe that you are able to spot humor when you see it.

Why is it called “thread drift”?

See if you can catch the drift of this song, as I cross-thread to my club leader's thread.

Just picture yourself as the one singing this blues song to Ghost.

Because the original topic of any thread tends to drift into other topics.

Hope that makes sense. PM me if not and I’ll help you out with more detail.

I'm thinking of writing a book on how to safely go down stairs.

It's a step by step guide.

Don't mention the wives.
I did earlier but I think I got away with it.

You are always playing dumb, which makes me wonder if you are really that dumb.

A more formal term would be 'digression.'

The drifting is to be questioned as to whether it's intentional or not.
