How Did We Get Here? - NYE 2022 OT

 


Caturday New Year's Eve Open Thread

 

Hello and welcome to the very last day of 2022 (hemispherical whatsis may apply). I suppose most of the standard buzz is to talk about hopes and resolutions and whatnot, but you can talk about whatever you want.

Thursday evening open thread

 I saw this and thought "YES! This is me!" I haaaaaaaate card games. And board games. All those movies where there are tense scenes of people playing poker? I go to the bathroom during those.



Blaurgh!Talk

Well, it certainly has been A Week since we last blaurghed together. I'm sure many of us have accumulated quite a few wintry icknesses to complain about, hopefully in the past tense of course.

Thursday Morning Open Thread!

 

Look, I’m going to need to see the tape or hear some evidence before I believe the no reason part. I’m sure somebody was asking for a smacking.

Welcome to Wednesday!

 The final Wednesday of 2022. Hard to believe. I hope everyone is staying warm and dry. Plans for the remaining days of the year?

Howdy. It’s a Tuesday somewhere on the middle of that haze that is the time between Christmas and New Year’s.

Sunday/Christmas evening OT

I think I'm all talked out! How about you? More holiday socializing, cozy evening at home, or still snowed in?




The Photo Gallery

  


It’s your weekly Photo Gallery! Come on in, take a look at what people have been up to over the past week and share some of your own photos.

They don’t need to be taken with a fancy camera or works of art. Share any SFW photos you’ve taken with even the poorest of potatoes. Of course we love to see that arty stuff too.

Christmas morning OT

 





Good morning and happy Christmas! 

Whether you celebrate or not, I hope you have a lovely and peaceful day today.

 I dare you not to say "Awwwwww". In a follow up video this week, he says that they've all been adopted. "Of course I'm keeping a couple". 



Blaugh!Talk

Heyyyyyy! It's gripe time! File any complaints (especially holiday-themed) here!

Thursday Morning Open Thread

 

Cold and windy out there. Also looks like the snow will be here past the the 25.  First white Christmas for awhile here locally.

Sunday Evening OT


For Balkers with a lot of snow and time on their hands, here's something to do with it. 

Some design ideas for BT village? Six Decades of Barbie Dream Homes (NYT, no paywall)

The NYT 2022 faces quiz is out. I hope the link works because it's a fun way to waste time. 2022 Quiz  
I knew all the obvious ones, but didn't do so well with the final quarter of the list. Didn't watch enough Abbott Elementary or pay attention to who runs the US treasury, I guess. 

Looking forward to the solstice and getting some of that sunlight back. Less than a week away!

Hello and welcome to Fur Face Friday! Only nine more shopping days until Xmas and last week’s fur faces let us know what they wanted to see under the tree. (Or, you know, just in their mouths.)

Harpur looks like he’s gonna put something in Bertolt’s stocking…

 

You're a mean one, mister sneezyface.

Thursday evening open thread

 For fans of Gerry Anderson's supermarionation (Thunderbirds, Stingray etc.) it's ... Superthunderstingraycar!!! (I swiped it from Boing boing)


It's pretty much perfect; the characters just lack the labionasal/marionette lines on the lower face.

Blaurgh!Talk

Well, we gotta get our strength from somewhere. What's testing your patience this week?

Thursday Morning Open Thread

 

Guess it’s close enough to break out the decorations, even if it is in digital mode.
