The Sunday Sunset Open Thread

by: poligirl

Sun Jan 24, 2010 at 22:41:02 PM EST


Hello to everyone out there surfin' the Progressive Blue tonight. I'm delighted to bring you our Sunday Sunset on this chilly Sunday evening!

Grand Crescent Moon Sunset by Fort Photo(Grand Crescent Moon Sunset by Fort Photo.)

I bid you welcome to the last vestige of frivolity until (gasp) you have to go back to work tomorrow. So we will end our weekend properly with The Sunday Sunset. This open thread is meant to try to keep the weekend alive a little longer with our own late night farewell. I'll also post the weekly sunset photo in the body.

The floor for the Sunday Sunset is open to any stories about your weekend, as well as to any ranting, whining, crying, bitching, moaning, kvetching, and venting any of you would like to do. Laughing is of course definitely allowed and even encouraged, even if it's just desperate hysteria that's causing it.

There are only 2 rules in this particular open thread:

1. Be Good To One Another

2. Vote in the Poll

Notes on the poll: It's really single choice, but you can pick more than one...  ;>

And hey - Progressive Blue is on Twitter now! Come follow us!

The Sunday Sunset is below!

I do but how can I link it? (3.00 / 2)
I'm listed as Eddie C3 if you want to do a search.

But I don't get there much because photobucket is a pro account for me.

New Orleans but New York lost (3.00 / 3)

I'm very bummed out.

The last time the Jets went all the way was on my thirteenth birthday.

Sorry you're feeling let down (3.00 / 3)
I'm not celebrating the Vikes loss, but let me borrow from another writer...
As a lifelong GB fan living in Minnesota, having Favre here (and the Vikes fan reaction to him!) was like watching your best friend be with your ex.

i know... i'm a Jets fan as well... though i'm glad they aren't the ones... (3.00 / 2)
that are playing the Saints... i wouldn't want to have to root against them... :o

Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn? (3.00 / 3)
Remember how she said that we would meet again, some sunny day?

Vera! Vera!

What has become of you?

Does anybody else in here feel the way I do?

Apparently Ed Tracey did today and added this reminder that she is still living!

How could I remember except from old movies and great songs?

That was just in my head! (3.00 / 2)
I love that song and the Wall in general.

gotta watch it in a bit... watching the post game here - it's all Saints day! :D (3.00 / 2)

It's the sort of thing that (3.00 / 2)
with a properly targeted rant both above and below could top the wreck list over at DKos for a day because it makes a good diversion.

It is also an example that the repugs are getting pretty good at the  internet game. Except for that the author name implies Ron Paul.

I have a Republican friend that sends me crap like that very often but this was the first that left an impression.

Actually I would have disowned and marked his email as spam a long time ago but I know that repug since before email, since the days that we could have polite conversations where we disagree on everything.

Now many  people on the same side seem to have trouble putting together a polite conversation.

i have relatives that send me crap like that all the time... (3.00 / 2)
a few of them can handle my replies, and a few others, well... they shouldn't send me crap like that....

hey poligirl (3.00 / 1)
The server here kept singing me out for some reason so that's why I am late.

I have to admit I'm not really that big of a football fan; an anomaly. But it's easy when you're home team is the Texans. :P

But I'm happy for NOLA. My mom wanted them to win.

:D




hey priceman! glad you could make it!... (3.00 / 1)
hey - i like the Texans!  :D

it's been quite a night down here... i think southeast Louisiana is bursting with joy... :D

and better late than never!

:D yeah, at least the logo is cool. I'll bet it's quite a night down there! (3.00 / 1)
Sounds like good times.
