The rules of the Open Thread are the same as they've ever been, ladies and gentlemen. . .no politics, no religion, no feeding of the trolls, and keep the bad language to a minimum/use the spoiler tags if you feel as though you absolutely must curse.

Let's continue on with Metallica week here, shall we?

With that, the beer light is on and the bar is open for this Wednesday, folks. Enjoy the rest of your day, and we'll have more for you later on.
