WCS - August 14, 2023August 14, 2023

I apologize in advance for the litany of "Pickett's charge" memes we may be exposed to going forward. This isn't to say PICKETT'S GAHNTA SUPERBOWL all UrinatingTree style.

It happened again. I'm sitting here enjoying a nice little Saturday, perusing Hippo's Morning Thread and I AGAIN think, "I wonder what our wonderful writers have cooked up for tonight's Open Thread."

I am writing this only two hours before post time which I should be commended for. That's improvement, people!
