Morning Open Thread: No-News Zone

There’s enough news elsewhere: we don’t need it at 0-dark-thirty, amirite? Of course, it’s an open thread, so have at it in the comments if you wish.

I heard my first Holiday-with-a-capital-H song at Target last Thursday. You know, the one that goes “Oh the weather outside is frightful blah blah blah let it snow” etc. During the first real snowstorm of the year.

Bastards.

Anyway, I’m not going to inflict Holiday songs on you — we all get quite enough of that just living. So today I offer you a miscellany, and hope you’ll enjoy it.
