Froggy gave a-whoopin’ and he did right, uh-huh… uh-huh.

According to the Wiki, the folk ballad “Froggy Went A-Courtin'” dates back to 1500s Scotland, with a musical version that dates to 1611. (I tried to find a video of it on the Utoobage, but no dice.)

Hard to tell which won the ultimate battle of wills, but  it’s all food for frogs and snacks for snakes on The Overnight Open Thread.

Award for Best Costume

At least I hope that’s a costume. Or maybe it’s a metaphor for what most people hope the new Republican majority will do to Obama’s Rat Patrol.

According to statistics provided by Morgan Stanley, historically the economy rebounds by 200% within two years once the recovery starts. Unfortunately, this is the deepest recession we’ve had since the Great Depression, and I’m not entirely convinced that recovery has begun.

The dim light at the end of the tunnel is the recent election (excepting Kaliforkyou) so maybe there’s some hope after all, even though it’s a long tunnel.

On a lighter note, we don’t need no stinkin’ tunnels to see the light of an Overnight Open Thread.
