This makes perfect sense on some level that none of us are aware of. (The Little Green Fartballs are a nice appropriate touch, given the history of this blog.)
Here’s a bit of trivia: The name manatee is an English corruption of “manatí” from the language of the Taíno, a pre-Columbian people of the Caribbean.
“Manatí” means “breast” in Taíno, hence the titillating title of this episode of The Overnight Open Thread.

One of the least funny but longest running comic strips was Ernie Bushmiller’s Nancy. Family Circus comes in at a close second, and why it’s survived this long is a mystery to me. All I can figure is that Bil Keane had some serious information on someone high in the ranks of King Features, aka The Syndicate. Nothing else can explain it, Occam’s razor and all that.
BTW– Coldwarrior and I cleaned up the mess in the Rec Room after the, um, poker game earlier today, and we’re missing some chips. If anyone finds any stray ones, please leave them in the brandy snifter/tip jar on the mantle above the fireplace. (According to Hoyle, you don’t yell “Trump” and throw the chips in Texas Hold-Em.)
With that out of the way, let’s let the chips fall where they may on The Overnight Open Thread.

That’s gotta be Buster Keaton. He had some serious cojones doing his stunts, and he did them just for laughs.
There’s really no point to my comments here, except that I found that .gif animation earlier today and thought you might enjoy it on
