You gotta shake your hands,
All around and around the sky.
And then you buzz around the floor,
You can do it if you really try.
All the girls and guys,
Are gettin’ wise,
There’re gonna fly.
–Chubby Checker, Do The Fly 1962
Whoa. That image is disturbing enough, but SOMEBODY gave him clearance for takeoff. Buckle up, keep your heads down, and we’ll be landing shortly in time for another Overnight Open Thread.

This is one way to blacken a bride. Atypical Events collected some odd wedding customs from around the world, and describes “blackening the bride” as:
“In the Scottish pre-wedding tradition of “Blackening the Bride,” The bride is taken by surprise and covered with foul substances, such as eggs, various sauces, feathers, and well you name it…
“The bride to be, officially blackened, is then paraded around town, and of course a few pubs, for all to see.”
I like the picture better without the description. This is as good a time as any for an Overnight Open Thread.

Something in the back of my mind says this represents something profound, but I can’t quite put my finger on it. An ornery grass-eating pachyderm finds a reptile in his stash, decides to help the lizard get higher than he’s ever been, just to teach him a lesson. What does it all mean?
I dunno, Babs, but I do know this. It’s time for an Overnight Open Thread.
As promised on VoTR:
OK! For those of you who are familiar with QuikTrip service stations, they’ve got a new food product available…Cheeseburger Rollers! And it’s quite yummy. One Irritated Tulsan seems to agree.
With that, let ‘er rip with an Open Thread! Let Bunk X have a rest….
