When Maid Marian surrendered to the Sheriff’s constabulary, she knew she was in safe hands. Okay, that’s a snarky caption/title for a ridiculous photo. Let’s talk about Marian’s hubby instead.
The popular myth of Robin Hood that he “robbed from the rich and gave to the poor” is a relatively recent interpretation, and Rabunhod did nothing of the sort. He was a dangerous highwayman for sure, but he targeted the tax collectors in order to return the excessive confiscations to their proper owners.
Presumably he didn’t do this for free, and likely took a percentage for his collection services. Is that wrong? I don’t think so, because he stole back that which was stolen from others. He took the risk for the good, and he deserved a commission. Pirates and common criminals weren’t so generous.
Take it for what it’s worth because it’s always worth taking, especially on
The Overnight Open Thread.

Someone spent a lot of time on this sculpture, but what I like best about it is that it’s made out of wood, hopefully culled from a rain forest somewhere in the Pacific Northwest, and fastened to a board with a toxic adhesive derived from the bile of boogeymen and tested on lab-rabbits’ eyes as required by the EPA.
It also takes electrical energy to view it. Real electrical energy with tungsten filaments heating up the atmosphere to prevent imminent Global Cooling. Cutsey little weenie curly fluorescent lamps just don’t cut it here.
I suppose you could mount it on a wall perpendicular to the rays of the sun, but then you could only see the image for about 30 seconds two times a year. If the day is overcast after you and your friends rearranged work schedules just to view it, you’re screwed, and that would suck donkeys big time.
Speaking of donkeys, here’s another big ass installment of The Overnight Open Thread.
Nancy Pelosi: “I’m No Wuss!” Plucks Out Own Eyeball as Proof

Cleveland Ohio (Strutts News Services) – Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi startled a gathering of patrons attending a fundraiser for Wiccan congressional candidate Lannie Foosers.
When asked by Foosers’ campaign manager Tooncie Crumbler what she intends to do about the ever-increasing bat wing shortage, Ms. Pelosi quickly and deftly removed her right eyeball, and declared that she would do everything in her power to stop global warming caused by the previous administration.
The crowd gasped, but then applauded, as Ms. Pelosi replaced her orb as quickly as she had removed it. She then blinked 52 times per second for the next 13 minutes. Ms. Crumbler suddenly and unexpectedly spontaneously combusted, erupting in blue flames while seated in the front row.
Ms. Crumbler was rushed to St. Vincent Charity Hospital where she is recuperating from 1st and 2nd degree burns on her upper torso. Complete recovery is expected.
No other injuries were reported, and no more questions were asked. The fundraiser ended three hours early, and Ms. Pelosi left quietly on her broom.
