Happy Thorsday, everyone!
I suppose everyone’s pretty much checked out of work already, mentally at least.
Hey, a heads-up for early next week, keep an eye out in the fanposts for the daily thread, justrob has been kind enough to cover them for me while I’m off the grid for the weekend. I’ll get somewhere to move it up to the front page at some point, but I’m not sure if it’ll be early or not. Cell service is spotty at best where I’ll be, but I’ll do what I can.

We come to our media selection.
Kansas somehow came up in a convo yesterday, so here’s your selection for today.
We all know the rules, but in case someone is new:
-No discussion of politics or religion
-No feeding of the trolls
-This isn't a male version of The View, so leave the gender hatred at the door
-Keep vulgar language to a minimum, using spoiler tags if you must
-No pictures that could get someone fired or in serious trouble with their employer
-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 pigs feet.
