Tonight’s movie is the 1962 classic “I Married A Sludge Pump,” starring Tony Ferrer, Walter Brennan, Josephine Estrada and Ernest Borgnine as “The Pump.” So grab some popcorn and a beverage from the Rec Room Bar, because it’s Retro Movie Night on The Overnight Open Thread!

Hollerin’

Recorded in 1975, Hollerin’ features the unforgettable Leonard Emanuel and others, live at Spivey’s Corner North Carolina. (Hear clips here or here.)
This double record set came in very handy back when Bunk was still slumming around in apartments. If the neighbors were making too much noise, I’d just slap side one on the turntable, crank it up, and laugh and laugh and laugh.
Lucky you, it’s available on CD, and well worth the bucks for the entertainment. Try it on your loud neighbors. Believe me, everyone shuts up when they hear it, with big ‘ol honkin’ visible WTF thought-bubbles over their heads.
There’s only one place it doesn’t work, and that’s in the Blogmocracy Rec Room 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.

New Year’s Resolution Number 1: Walk Wisely.
This lifesaving message was brought to you by the National Safety Council via the 1960 Rose Parade. Better advice cannot be found anywhere, excepting perhaps The Overnight Open Thread.
