Not being a fan of speed metal, I can appreciate the pure endurance aspect of it, especially when it’s played on a fretless pizza advertisement sign. I know I couldn’t pull it off.

Maybe some of the afficionados here can identify the song (I turned up my speakers to 11 and still couldn’t hear it) but it seems a bit repetitive, unlike The Overnight Open Thread.

My Dog Spot

Last night as I was doing my part to help fill up the local landfill, I spotted this little cute guy, obviously a stray. He was 1-3/4 inches long, and aside from twitching his antennae, wasn’t moving much. Since he was cold, I brought him in to warm up on the kitchen counter.

The missus wasn’t pleased. Bunkarina thought it was cool.

Haven’t seen one of these around in years. It’s a Potato Bug, more commonly known as a Jerusalem Cricket. They don’t prefer potatos, and they’re not native to Jerusalem, they don’t jump and they’re not crickets. They don’t chirp, but they do make mating sounds (listen here) that they “hear” with their feet.

If you spot a Potato Bug, be forewarned… they bite.

Speaking of which, it’s time for us to take a big bite of another hot and juicy Overnight Open Thread.

Once in a while I start to clean out my cache of image files, and once in a while I find something I just can’t delete, but also don’t know quite what to do with.

Obviously the only proper and respectful thing to do is to post it on The Overnight Open Thread.

Everyone rides in the back of the bus in Stupidtown. Moronville and Idiotsburgh are the same way, and they trade off days to shuttle those of limited cognizance between the Daily KosZoo, the HuffPony Rides and *ahem* the Reptile Village.

Of course, we need no such vehicle, nor a need to visit those C-Rated attractions, because right here in Blog Mock City we have The Overnight Open Thread.
