Midday OT or whatever...

This fin de siècle symbolist and decadent artist maybe didn't intend this meaning, but this work seems a pretty accurate representation ...

A WEDNESDAY OT THING @ 6:30 AM* **- SCAVVY'S GHOST! the ghost with the most AND OT!

 Good morning. This is the open thread I guess. What is up, my brothers and sisters? 

Will we be graded on a curve?

When I think back on the Kinjaverse (does it deserve a -verse? More like parts of Eastern Europe, esp. since it's been wiped off the map web. Wither Czechoslovakia? O Nick Denton, how goes the annihilation of Facebook?), I remember TotWs, CotDs, cross threads, discrete pockets of arcane knowledge. Mostly I remember scavvy's pop quizzes.


POP QUIZ! (reminder: the TotW is Ye Olde Kinja)

Kinjanaut or KinjaNOT?

How well do you remember Kinja? It's BT heavy due to my biases, but there's a sprinkling of the other subs and a few main pagers as well. (A Pop quiz with that soda fizz, is what this is, Mr or Ms.) Please finish the quiz before the song ends. 
Press play and... Go! tick tock...
