Yet Another Open Thread

Wait a second - how can this be another open thread when there was no open thread before this?

And why am I bothering with an open thread in the first place? You people just post off-topic comments about any stupid crap you feel like discussing, anyway.

Here's you:

Relevance? Who cares about relevance? It's not my blog. I think I'll post an off-topic comment about some stupid crap I feel like discussing, even though it has nothing to do with the subject of this post.

Why do I even bother? You know what, just forget I said anything.

Interesting. Atrios calls an open thread now and then, and every right-wing blog -- maybe not your sophomoric "humor" site, but Goldstein, Patterico and Ace, certainly -- acts as thought he's got no place on the web.

But let an apostate of the Party of Jefferson™ call an open thread, and there's nothing but silence! Where is the condemnation that comes so easily to the right!?!

To recap:

Atrios open thread = bad, bad blog.
Wuzzadem open thread = backtracks galore.

Hypocrites!

Ok boys and girls it's an All Skate!

Yes, I remember when as a young lad of 13, we would pile into the car with my friends and hit the skating rink for an all night skate. Dressed in my best jeans and whatever 'cool' shirt I could find, I skated round the rink in search of a good looking girl to possibly hold hands with as we skated around in endless circles, kind of like NASCAR without the lucrative corporate sponsorship.

As the night wore on the sugar from the cherry slushies would wear off and many of the skaters would find a bench or spot on the floor to rest. If you had any luck, you might find yourself sitting in quiet corner with a girl wearing braces, the smell of stale popcorn and disinfecting foot powder from the skates wafting through the air, the DJ playing a slow song from the Bee Gees, ah young love.

Thanks for open thread, I feel much better now.

Ah...the Bee Gees. Which brings me to the summer of '77 and brother Andy Gibb's Shadow Dancing and Love is Thicker than Water playing on the AM radio all summer long...

Summer in Southern California as a young teen...skateboards, nubile babes in tube tops, and Slurpees...

Yes, Yolo...thanks for the memories....

I once saw a blimp.

You know, people are always going around referring to a particular flowering plant as a "germanium" but they are so wrong. That plant is actually a "pellargonium", the germanium is a totally different plant alltogether! Smarten up, people!

[AnonymousDrivel]

Can't we all just get along? I mean, Captain Kirk was waaaay better than Picard, but that doesn't mean they weren't both great leaders. It's just that Kirk wiped out all really bad "guys" and the only thing left for Picard to do was to arrest virtual jaywalkers. It's just so obvious! If only we could all have recognized this, the Middle East crisis might not have happened.

Free Mumia!

Did you hear the one about the travelling salesman?

Long Island Iced Tea

1 part vodka
1 part tequila
1 part rum
1 part gin
1 part triple sec
1 1/2 parts sweet and sour mix
1 splash Coca-Cola®

Mix ingredients together over ice in a glass. Pour into a shaker and give one brisk shake. Pour back into the glass and make sure there is a touch of fizz at the top. Garnish with lemon.

Does the guy in the Oxyclean commercials think he is fooling anyone with the bad hair coloring on his head and beard? And what's with the shouting? Does he think we are deaf?

[budugirl]

Hey, I don't want to get too technical or anything but...aren't all threads in essence open? I mean can't anyone basically just write anything they want at any time on any thread on any blog anywhere at any...HEY, LOOK, A CHICKEN! A SHINEY CHICKEN!

What IS the difference between "Partly cloudy" and "Scattered clouds".

Freakin' liberal weathermen.

[AnonymousDrivel]

This thread is too technical. And besides volume, volume, volume... what's the deal?

[Maggie]

Remember how Kerry Flip-Flips?

[World's Worst Writer]

I remember a day, long ago--I couldn't have been more than 13 at the time--I was walking to the skating rink with a girl who always had stale popcorn stuck in her braces, and we were both smashed on Long Island Iced Teas.

It was a love lovely light, partly cloudy wth scattered clouds, the germaniums and pellargoniums were in blooms, and the air was filled with the smell of cherry slushies and that guy in the Oxyclean commercials' bad hair coloring.

We stopped to talk with Atrios, who was dressed in flip-flops and a tube top. He'd taken a part-time job as a traveling salesman, and he told us that he'd just seen a blimp piloted by Captain Picard (Picard had only recently replaced Captain Kirk, who was fired for jaywalking).

My dog's breath smells like dog shit. He keeps a clean yard, though.

Sorry.

I like pie.

I wonder if John is going to guest post at AYC.

[Lizzie]

Well everyone knows that Doctor Who is better than Star Trek...and that Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant are way hotter than Kirk.

On that subject - check out www.AcmeAnvilCo.com, which hasn't been updated much lately since I've been on vacation, but since the thread was open when I got here...
