That’s Frank. Frank never speaks, and neither do any of the other creatures who populate his tranquil yet dangerous and oddly disturbing world. In the background, Mme. Pupshaw is on the left and Pushpaw is on the right. They’re cool.

Lego has morphed into an absurdity, abandoning the building block basics for battery-powered gimmickry. To me, it’s as ridiculous as marketing liquid Play-Doh as paint, or selling Lincoln Logs as, um, Lincoln Logs.
Sure, the kid cobbled a mask together so he could terrorize two-year-olds in the McDonald’s ball pit, and I’ll give him credit for that. Unfortunately for him, one of his parents decided to embarrass their young prodigy for life by burning this image onto the unfailing memory of the internest forever.

Somebody finally invented a way to make drinking beer more fun than it already is. Unfortunately, the inventor didn’t think it through.
I can only imagine the disgusting mayhem that would ensue in the men’s room of Rosie’s Roadside Tavern around 11pm on a Saturday night. Forget pissing your name in the snow in the parking lot. Every guy in the place would quickly discover his inner artistic talent, and then there would be a competition.
As for the women’s room artistry, I suppose we’re getting into the realm of “Jackson Pollock,” and we’ll leave it at that.

Here’s a bit of trivia: The name manatee is an English corruption of “manatí” from the language of the Taíno, a pre-Columbian people of the Caribbean.
“Manatí” means “breast” in Taíno, hence the titillating title of this episode of The Overnight Open Thread.
