Trying to relax after a long, hard day is a hit-and-miss proposition. Some days, you don’t really get anything accomplished that you expected, but still had the entire day taken up by the unexpected.
In other words, it’s a Monday.
Of course, that leads into Monday Night Open Thread. It’s your turn to take control of the conversation. Tell a joke, tell a lie, telephone someone you love, whatever is on your mind.
Who wants to start?

How do you get the threads on your website to open? Is there a corkscrew involved?
Hey, tomorrow is Tuesday, the day invented to take care of the things you couldn’t do when Monday became too much Monday to handle.

Judging by some of the comments on the Open Thread, yes. Definitely yes.
I miss chocolate cherry diet Dr Pepper
Great, now I have an unassuageable craving for chocolate cherry diet Dr. Pepper. Thank you so very much.
How have a never had a chocolate cherry diet Dr. Pepper before? When and where did this occur and why did you let it get away? Why??????
Diet Cherry Chocolate Dr Pepper (2007–2008) was introduced as a limited edition flavor on November 21, 2007. It was discontinued in April 2008. It became available in Canada in early January 2008. A non-diet version was never created. The taste is similar to Canfield’s Diet Cherry Chocolate Fudge Soda, but with the distinctive Dr Pepper flavor. It was featured in the song “Cherry Chocolate Rain” by YouTube celebrity Tay Zonday. Upon ceasing production, it was replaced by Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper…and now you know the rest of the story.
I Googled it. It was a limited edition product in 2007-8. They never made it again.
My Obamacare doctor practices medicine the way the way Dr. Pepper does.
Why don’t we just jump ahead and call it White Male Climate Change and get it over with?

May 16, 1905, is the birth date of H. E. Bates, an English author whose novels and stories I admire. Other than that, it’s not a great day for birthdays – Henry Fonda (who fathered Jane), Billy Martin (IMAO, the worst person ever to wear a major-league baseball uniform), and Liberace. Visit your local library and check out a novel or a collection of stores by H. E. Bates.
