Just got back from my friend’s house- the food was good, the music was better (we listened to a bunch of Wilco). The last thread is over 300, so I thought I would fire up a new one:
I’m rocking Oysterhead right now.
Friday Night Open Thread
I’m off to a friend’s house for cuban sandwiches, so I will be away from the intertrons for a while, so here is an open thread for you.
I think I am also making a command decision and no longer subjecting myself to anything from libertarians. I simply can not read Reason or McCardle or any of these guys anymore. They are as batshit loony as Red State, and there is no point wasting my time. Instead, I am going to my happy place:
I feel better already.
By Popular Request
There have been lots of request for this, so Redkitten/Krista has forwarded me this picture of her newborn:
For whatever reason, the socks just kill me.
And yes, with the cat pics, dog pics, baby pics, and recipes, this place is turning into Cute Overload with a potty mouth.
Thursday Night Open Thread
I’m couch-bound and feeling lazy, so here is a thread for you (and a kitty):
Additionally, the Thursday menu for this weekend:
1. Grilled Sirloin with Spicy Blueberry Sauce
2. Garlic Mashed Potatoes
3. Steamed Zucchini
4. Coffee w/Biscotti
Some Friendly Advice
Seems like there are a helluva lot more of them lately, and I don’t want to ruin this place for those who don’t want to deal with pointless back and forth. So heed the advice.
Wednesday Night Open Thread
Been a long, long week and it is only Wednesday, so I went over to Brian and Tammy’s for dinner. Bruschetta and spaghetti with meatballs and some mojitos (a thematically challenged dinner and beverage combo, but good, nonetheless). All was well until Tammy bent over to give Lily kisses and she bit Tammy on the nose. Have to work on that, I suppose. At any rate, Sam and Lily got along:
As a bonus, here is Sammie walking around with a leaf latched on to her whiskers:
Hope all is well your way.

A pick me up
There’s been something depressing about the past few weeks, culturally. Not just the death of Ted Kennedy, but the mainstreamed craziness before and the certainty that this craziness will manifest itself in new and terrible ways, perhaps mimicking the whole right-wing Wellstone funeral myth.
So here’s a video that I’ve watched a hundred times since I finally found it on the internet last week. It always makes me feel better and it seems especially appropriate for me since a speaker at my university’s convocation earlier today confused Darth Vader with Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Consider this an open thread.
Update. This is almost funnier. Apropos of the last thread, the drummer from Nickelback taking a six minute solo.
