What the Chuck is this? The Human Nostril? Gimme a six-pack and a pair of Fiskars and we’ll watch as his life crumbles around him. Yeah, I’ll nail those stupid antennae, too. (BTW, Paul was The Walrus, not you, dork.)

“I Wanna Go Home To The Armadillo.”
Man that guy’s wife must be awful ugly, all scaly and stuff. Poke her and she rolls up into a thorny ball, but that ain’t none of my business.
I’ve heard that song so many times without knowing the words, let alone the source. It’s the theme song to Austin City Limits, performed by Gary P. Nunn and Jerry Jeff Walker. Oh, and by the way, unless you’re sporting functional longriders, y’all just look silly, especially yinz with the bullrider hats, unless you happen to have the legs and lunch (T&A) to go with it and are willing to share your photos on The Overnight Open Thread.

I love rural hand-painted highway signs that are spelled correctly and get right to the point, like this one. (Note that the pavement is blackened from all the cars screeching to a stop upon spotting this effective advertisement).
And speaking of roadtrips, at the sign post up ahead, next stop is
The Overnight Open Thread.
This post is not so much about Stealth as it is about stalking (and not Charles Johnson’s definition).
One of the amazing things about the internest (and social media in particular) is how so many people and things are interrelated – the whole 6 degrees of separation business. Lately I’ve found significantly fewer degrees.
While catching up on a bizarre twisted saga via Twitter (that Stacy McCain and others have been covering extensively) I found a reference to a group of internet warriors called “Rustle League.” They are apparently affiliated with the more well-known cybergroup Anonymous.
I’m not a fan of Anonymous (especially not the Barrett Brown Crypto-Anarchist faction that wants to mess with international affairs and destroy global economics) but occasionally the group does some good.
I came upon a recent story today about a 15 year old girl, bullied online and in real life, had given up hope and threatened to off herself on Twitter. Trolls showed up, but eventually Rustle League and Anonymous got word about it, too. They apparently prevented a distraught girl from killing herself by stalking her stalking trolls and kicking ass.
Other news outlets reported it, and they referenced The Daily Dot. Full story with Twittercaps here.
Oh yeah, about those degrees of separation.
1. I saw a Tweet from a guy I spoke with on the phone a few days ago.
2. It referenced a podcast that named Rustle League.
3. A Google search for RL led me to the Daily Dot story written by an online friend. Politically we hate each other, but we get along otherwise.
