The perfect assistant. The builder of esteem. The positive influence.

While you think he’s just being agreeable, he has nefarious purposes known only to him. Never trust The Yes Man.

The Yes Man says, “Go ahead. Do it. It’s the right thing to do. You’re on the right track,” and then he kicks you in the nuts and steals your lunch.  He smiles while telling you lies that you can’t detect until it’s too late. He’s always encouraging you to jump.

The Yes Man is not a team player, regardless of what he says. By all accounts, he gets along with the group, yet he’s always looking out for Number One. Unfortunately, you’re Number Two – at most.

So who is The Yes Man? He’s the voice in the back of your head who won’t shut up. He yammers constantly, keeps you awake at night, sings songs you can’t stand, and tells you that it’s time for The Overnight Open Thread.

“It’s A Good Life” was a short story written by Jerome Bixby in 1953 that was turned into one of the creepiest Twilight Zone episodes ever. (Click on the link to read the original. It’s worth it.)

Meanwhile, Dorian was tossing stuff at me in the Rec Room last night, so I lobbed this coolness at him:

Clever stuff, that, and it’s very appropriate for The Overnight Open Thread.

They’re not true teeth, but lamellae, or more precisely pectines.
Comment from “Jess” at the link:

“Whatever they are, a pissed off goose will use them. It hurts and they usually won’t go away until you smack them with a shovel.”

 
Experience is knowledge, and knowledge obtained from another’s experience is often better. If you’re gonna go and piss off a goose, bring a shovel to the fight, and that’s The Blogmocracy Practical Tip O’ The Day, presented for discussion on The Overnight Open Thread.

One blind date, too much tequila and she’s moved in. It’s happened to the best of us, and the affliction is not restricted to guys. This is why the FDA should insist on warning labels on all hard liquor.

There was a Phil Hendrie show a few years back that touched on the same topic. His “caller” complained that after hitting the vodka and toking it up, “I was feelin’ so good, and she looked so fine. But next morning, I wake up next to a bush pig.”

If you’ve never heard Phil Hendrie, you’re missing out on some of the best humor in radio, on KFI AM640 and elsewhere Saturday nights. But it’s not Saturday night, so we might as well hang out on The Overnight Open Thread.
