Friday Night Open Thread


Well, that was embarrassing.

I was supposed to put up an Open Thread post on Thursday night. And I wrote one, but…

Well, I put Friday’s date on it. Oh, there was already a Friday night Open Thread post scheduled. Yeah, there would have been two show up on Friday night. As in right now.

Yeah, that was really stupid. Or careless. Or whatever word fits.

So, I moved the Thursday night post to … if you said next Thursday you’d be normal, but wrong. No, I moved it to the following Thursday. Because I already have next Thursday’s ready to go.

I suppose I could move last night’s (which was dated tonight) to next week and move next week to the following week. And I might. But the Thursday night post is related to the next night’s post, so I kinda want to keep them together.

Which means you’re reading this instead of what I had scheduled. Which I moved out two weeks, also. Because the Thursday and Friday posts kinda go together. Or something.

None of that detracts from the fact that it’s Friday Night Open Thread. You pick the topic. Something you want to talk about? Mock me mercilessly? I can take it.

Whatever you want, as always, it’s your decision. So, who wants to start?

Red Rabbit (Song Parody)

Red Rabbit (to the tune of “White Rabbit” by Jefferson Airplane)

One leak makes you snigger
And one leak makes you smile
but the ones that media feeds you
Won’t do anything at all
To get Hillary
to an Inaugural Ball.

And if you go chasing collusion
And you think Trump is going to fall
You feel an indictment spewing prosecutor
will make the final call
for Hillary
to be President after all.

When the Deplorables on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you’ve just lost the election
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Hillary
I think she’ll know

When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the Liberals have got it backwards
And the Russians are in their head
Remember what the voters said
Trump is Prez
Trump is Prez

Icebreaker: Which Is Your Best Feature?

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.

Which is your best feature?

10 typing-trained fingers. After I die, I intend to donate my hands so that someone else can skip the boring typing lessons.
