Hump Day Open Thread
Good Morning!
My expectation is that traffic and commenting will start to drop off today, if you’re traveling for the holiday drive safe, if you’re like me and have to work make sure you bring extra good food for the potluck, because you know Karen in Accounting with her cool parking spot is going to show up. Really need the Vikings to get untracked early and not wait to show up against the Seahawks like they did against Denver. Meanwhile, let’s carry on with our news and links open thread full of beer recommendations, nap strategies, crock pot and smoker recipes. Drop by for some fan wisdom, snark and take half the day off, you were going to anyway.
Around the DN since our last open thread:

We come to today’s media selection: Blue Swede - Hooked on a Feeling
Again, we all know the rules, but in case someone is new:
-No discussion of politics or religion
-No feeding of the trolls
-Leave the gender hatred at the door
-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 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 waiter, Carpe Diem and Welcome Aboard!
