I CAN Believe It’s Not Butter.

Okay folks. New rules for the Rec Room. The hausfrau told me today that she was cleaning the fridge and found a tub of butter in the back that has apparently been there a while. It was infested with sugar gliders.

From now on, we’re gonna dump all personal items each Friday afternoon at 4:30PM, so if you have leftovers in Tupperware, half-consumed drinks in sippy cups, or any opened foodstuffs you want to keep, take it home with you, otherwise they’re going to be dumped. [Confidential to Mongoose: Stop taking random bites out of other’s stuff. The tooth pattern gives you away every time.]

With that said, walk right in, sit right down, and everybody let their minds roll on The Overnight Open Thread.

Remember the old Blogmocracy Rec Room?

I kinda miss it, even though it smelled of cigars, stale beer, cheap perfume mixed with fresh enamel and chlorine bleach wafting in from the restrooms down the hall on the left. There’s something about old aromas that triggers memories of long-gone fun. Remember when we used to play this over and over until we ran out of quarters? Or the time that [someone] threw the cue ball past the intersection on a dare? We had to play games of 14 ball for weeks.

Ahhh, man, those were some fun times on The Overnight Open Thread.

As most of you know, The Blogmocacy Rec Room gets kind of dark around this time of year, so this afternoon Coldwarrior and I installed a light ceiling fan to eliminate hot spots and save on electricity.

[Last chance to enter The Contest. Post your entries by midnight tonight, Pacific Standard Time, and we’ll put up a poll this weekend to determine the wiener. –Bunk]

I want to thank all you folks who helped reseat the header beam over the stairs to the basement last Saturday night. When I went downstairs to bring up a fresh keg, the floor and wall were throbbing to the music, and not in a good way.

Coulda been very dangerous, so we reseated the header and installed drag straps and hold downs. We’ve moved the main sound system to the basement, and  installed a bar down there as well. We’re thinking of installing a dumbwaiter for nachos and poutines. Oh, yeah, there’s a new potty room right behind the bar counter.

Not pointing fingers at all, stuff like this happens. After all it’s an old house that was never designed for an Overnight Open Thread.
