In the wake of the recent vandalism in London and elsewhere, some of the more genteel initiated the protest, and were completely ignored by the media. This .gif shows the initial graphic violence, presented for the sole purpose of illustrating just how it began on The Overnight Open Thread.

Most of us  know it better as Pyrgocorypha uncinata, but it’s a cool closeup. Running the name through Garble Translate, uncinata is Latin for “hooked,” and Pyrgocorypha translates to, um,  “Pyrgocorypha”.

From the linked website:

There are a number of coneheads in the eastern U.S.

Seems to me like that’s a big DUH, as I went to school with a few.  That’s not intended to disparage any coneheads, hooked or otherwise, because we’re ALL Pyrgocorypha here on The Overnight Open Thread.

“Crispy decapitated amputees and fuming black males: 1st Floor;
Full-scale Barbies, accessories and original packaging: 2nd Floor;
Miscellaneous torsos and body parts: 3rd Floor;
Tanning Party on Four.
“

You REALLY don’t want to know what’s on the upper floors, and the basement is just disgusting (imagine The Boiler Room on a humid day).

Creepy, for sure, but it’s a perfect fit for The Overnight Open Thread.
