Overnight Open Thread (11-30-2013) - [Niedermeyer's Dead Horse]

Welcome to the Caturday version of the ONT. Forgive me for what I am about to do to you.

In football news, these two items cannot be ignored.

First, it looks like both Tomlin and the sideline official will be disciplined following this chickenshit move on the part of Tomlin. I'm a lifelong fan of Pittsburgh, but trash like this should not be tolerated.

And, ICYMI, this is noteworthy. Get your jollies now because this kind of fail isn't likely to repeat itself with one of the greatest football programs in our generation. They are the home team but, still, failure this epic deserves special mention.

Last week, the Florida Gators were beaten by Georgia-Southern by a score of 26-20. Worse, GSU won without ever completing a single pass. Could it get worse still? Yes. Yes it can. Did I mention that this was supposed to be a paid hit for the Gators? They paid $550k for the pleasure of this embarrassment.

From tweep Jamie Jones, this letter from NASA.

Dear Mr. Jones

We thank you for your interest in our work. Unfortunately though, we have no interest in your attached sketch entitled "A Breakthrough in Awesome Space Rockets, Now Give Me Some Money". We've long been aware of the science behind the reaction that occurs between Coke and Mentos, so believe us when we say that there's no practical use for it in our work - even if we did use "a shit load of Coke", as you so eloquently put it.

The rest can be found here.

My new most-favorite vid on You Tube. Even a dog needs someone to talk to.

To anyone who hasn't yet tuned into the Showtime series Masters of Sex, you don't know what you are missing. The writing and acting are superb and, well, there's lots of boobies. Plus, they have the best intro on television right now.

From tweep JavaJoe comes this simply delightful Thanksgiving greeting to President Obama.

This ONT brought to you by pinups of the feral variety:
