Wednesday Open Thread: May 4, 2016

Hump Daaaayyyyy! Well, it's hump day, and it's also May the Fourth. Be prepared to see random middle-aged virgins running around in costumes, and May the Fourth be with you.

Around the DN since our last open thread:

Moritz Bohringer signed his rookie deal with the Vikings.

Ted posted a way-too-early 53 man roster projection.

Around the NFL:

The Giants' GM blasts critics of the Eli Apple pick, per NFL.com.

With that, we come to today's media selection. Thank you to chris_winter for the request. If you have anything you want played on here, let me know & I'll get 'r done.

Again, we all know the rules, but in case someone is new:

-No discussion of politics or religion
-No feeding of the trolls
-Keep the bad language to a minimum (using the spoiler tags, if you must)
-Speaking of which, if discussing a newer show or movie, please use spoiler tags 
-No pictures that could potentially get someone fired or in serious trouble at their place of employment
-If you can't disagree in a civil manner, feel free to go away
-While navigating the open thread, just assume it's sarcasm

With that, the beer light is on and the bar is open. Belly up & tie one on. Don't forget to tip your waitress, & try the pickled northern.
