Saturday Open Thread

Unless you want to say or ask something about the Carnival of Comedy, which I am still working on.
I am actually putting some actual time and actual work into it this time so my carnival won’t actually suck.
So there. Blather away in the comments.

  1. With all apologies to Cody Lambert:
    We been waitin’ on spacemonkey
    ever since we can recall,
    We started in May now
    it’s comin’ on fall.
    We have us a smoke
    we have us a chew
    we have us a laugh
    we have us a brew
    But we’ll keep on wiatin’
    though we ain’t pleased
    cuz that freakin’ spacemonkey
    has “teh funny”!

  2. Speaking of open thread, ever try to find the end of a spool of thread? And then, assuming you are able to find it, you got to feed it through the eye of a needle.
    Annoying as hell. Makes me want to give up embroidery as a hobby.
    Don’t get me wrong, it’s manly embroidery.

  3. Chris, try manly knitting, instead: Make chainmail!
    I embroider, knit, sew, and quilt, but when I want to mess with people, I take the mail out in public.
    “Excuse me, ma’am? WHAT are you doing?”
    “Oh, this is macho knitting …”

  4. I know many of IMAO folks won’t actually see this, but I am seeking help. I have a child with head-to-toe ecsema, and I’ve had limited success w/ immuno-suppessive treatments & lotions. Any ideas? I’m trying to avoid exposing my baby to so many drugs…

  5. AlanABQ,
    I know it may sound a bit odd, but I’ve heard a little time in a tanning bed does wonders for eczema. With a child, I wouldn’t go beyond 1.5-2 minutes a day, but it may be worth a shot.

  6. Hey Frank, I was just thinkin about your War for Oil Editorial, and it would be possible to combine the necessary war for oil with another war-based project I’ve always supported; let’s invade Canada. We get more oil from Canada than the Middle East, plus Canada is closer so we waste less gas gettin there, and they’re a bunch of wimps who would probably put up less resistance than WorldWar II France, so we could minimize casualties.
    I propose, however, to do as the Romans did, and allow them to govern themselves, only take all their oil and tax them more. We would have to make an exception for Quebec though, all of their citizens would need to be sent to settlement schools to be assimilated into American culture…and also shocked anytime a french word comes out of their mouths.
