Wednesday Night Open Thread

It’s been hot. And the only think I can offer is “Think cool thoughts.”

Snow. That’s cool. And everyone knows that Eskimos have dozens and dozens of words for snow, right?

Well, let’s see what Simon says.

What cool thoughts are on your mind? Got something you’d like to share? It is Wednesday Night Open Thread after all.

76 Fun Icebreaker Questions

Currently: The Only List of Icebreaker Questions You’ll Ever Need (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.

If you had to teach a class on one thing, what would you teach?

How to write fake news.

At least then the garbage in the MSM would be more entertaining.

Random Thoughts: RBG and Kavanaugh

Sure Trump isn’t great, but we spent years trying to find the next president after Obama and he was the best we could come up with. Everyone should support him.

Dearest McKenna,
Our first assault went poorly as we retreated immediately, scared off by the gunfire. Our guns were louder than we thought.

What would really heal the divide in this country is if Democrats joined Republicans to unanimously vote through whoever is the modern day equivalent of Bork.

Ocasio-Cortez does seem as dumb as turnip, but all the attention is making it appear like the right is scared of her.
I don’t think anyone is scared of her, I just see a lot of dumb attacks… which seems pointless since Ocasio-Cortez is an open socialist. If someone loudly announced, “I’m a racist!” would you need to comb her background for little details to prove she’s bad?

People worry about having kids because it ruins all your plans, but your plans are stupid.

My recommendation for Star Wars Episode IX is that it not be the sort of movie where they have to spend a bunch of time afterwards telling long time Star Wars fans they’re bad people for not liking it.

Did they ever apologize to the incels who were absolutely right about the girl Ghostbusters?

You can’t bring sick birds into the U.S. because of Trump’s crackdown on ill eagle immigration.

The five warmest years on record have all happened since we started keeping a record of how warm years are.

I hope Trump makes a SCOTUS pick everyone can get behind, like Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson.

My 5yo is trying to play through Breath of the Wild by himself because he wants to make his old man proud.

Ever see that Futurama where Fry is trying to keep his grandpa from getting killed and ends up getting him blown up with a nuke? I keep thinking of something like that happening with Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the left.

I’m hearing rumblings that Trump is going to be nominating a judge or something.

Remember when the Republicans blocked Merrick Garland so a Republican president might appoint the next SCOTUS but then Trump got the nomination and they were like “Oh noes! Hillary will appoint the next SCOTUS!” but then Trump somehow won and nominated Gorsuch? That was hilarious.

So Barret will replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg?

The opposition to Kavanaugh looks so paint by the numbers. Their heart just doesn’t seem into it. I wanted Barret… a real fight both sides could get worked up over.

If Ruth Bader Ginsburg gave in and retired while Trump is in office, she would be so hated by the left that she’d probably never eat at Red Hen again.

“Kavanaugh is not that scary and we can’t do anything to stop him, but we all have to go through the motions here, people.”
