We're 1-for-2 on this open-thread thingy. First week: good. Second week: shut down Friday before the clock struck midnight. Repeat the first week's performance, and we can keep doing this. Repeat the second week, and the trend will not be y'all's friend.

So, with cautious optimism, I present ... your Friday Open Thread. Please enjoy responsibly.
