Saturday Night Open Thread

Posted by Basil on 31 March 2018, 9:00 pm

I know I’ve posted ZZ Top a lot this month. No particular reason. Anyway, I got to thinking. Some of their videos were really good and complemented the music very well. There’s this one video, though, that’s kinda off.

Now, the video for Rough Boy is really interesting. It’s good effects, especially for the mid-80s. The thing, though, is that unlike Legs or Sharp Dressed Man, the video for Rough Boy almost relegates the song to just background music. And that’s a shame, because I kinda like the song by itself.

Researchers are saying that a new pill can turn human blood poisonous to mosquitoes.

Hmmm… can we get something like that to make paying my taxes have the same effect on government?

President Trump floated the idea of paying for a border wall with funds from the military.

Maybe. Although if it’s going to be part of the Army, you’ll need to arm it with M4A1s. Which I’m in favor of.

Icebreaker: What Was Your Favorite Birthday Or Christmas Present?

Posted by Harvey on 30 March 2018, 4:00 pm

Having finished “The 25 most popular icebreaker questions based on four years of data” and enjoyed the results, I’m moving on to a new list:

76 Fun Icebreaker Questions (Not all of which will be used, since some are either/or questions, which are boring.)

Your mission: answer the question in the comments with a good story.

If you don’t have a good story, you are encouraged to make one up.

What was your favorite birthday or Christmas present?

The “Firefly” prequel/reboot “Miranda”, which finally gives me the satisfaction of watching characters play in the Firefly universe, under the direction of Joss Whedon.

I haven’t gotten it yet.

While we’re doing prequel/reboots, tell Iger I need a director’s cut without Midichlorians or Jar-Jar.
