Thorsday Open Thread

Good Morning, It’s Thorsday!

Your Thorsday thread is up and running for business; now Covid-19 and politics free! Permit me to use this space to again apologize to Freezeface for my expletive filled outburst last Friday. We talked it out, brohugged (virtually) and we’re friends again. Gone Fishin and I have been busier than normal at work, thus the threads were getting out of control and were getting filled with politics and bookface conspiracy theories; I’m off for the next seven days so I’ll be here to make sure the thread doesn’t go sideways. Meanwhile we’ll carry on with our news and links full of crockpot recipes, nap strategies and beer recommendations; drop by for some fan wisdom, snark and it’s Thorsday - I was informed this is cultural appropriation, but I’m not smart and still don’t know what that means.

Around the DN since our last open thread:

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 wash your hands, don’t touch your waiter’s face and Welcome Aboard!
