“Off-screen, [Chris] Farley was well-known for his pranks in the offices of Saturday Night Live. A March 13, 1995 New York Magazine article references Farley and Adam Sandler making late-night prank phone calls from the SNL offices in Rockefeller Center, with Sandler speaking in an old woman’s voice and Farley then farting into the phone, as well as Farley mooning cars from a limousine.” —Wiki

We really need some appropriate music for this. Fortunately, we’ve restocked the Rec Room jukebox with new tunes, and I snuck one in when Coldwarrior wasn’t looking (hit G-5).

Voila! It’s now “Booger Nights” on the Overnight Open Thread.

This looks like no fun at all.  Oh wait! I have an idea! Let’s remove the baskets! Put your money on the rail and chalk up your cues, Blogmockrateers, while I rack ’em up.

No point in pushing and shoving to be first because everybody gets a break on The Overnight Open Thread.

flounce (v.)

1540s, “to dash, plunge, flop,” perhaps from Scandinavian (cf. dialectal Swed. flunsa “to plunge,” Norw. flunsa “to hurry,” but first record of these is 200 years later than the English word), said to be of imitative origin. Spelling likely influenced by bounce. Notions of “anger, impatience” began to adhere to the word 18c. Related: Flounced; flouncing. As a noun, from 1580s as a motion.

So there you go– etymology at its best. It’s just another benefit to all readers of The Blogmocracy on The Overnight Open Thread.

Two cylinder engine with afterburners in slo-mo. Runs on bio-fuel, too, unlike the 8 cylinder dual carb gas hog known as The Overnight Open Thread.
