Wednesday Overnight Open Thread - November 13 2024 [TRex]

While wandering around AoS HQ this evening, I found a set of keys. The attached keychain has a tag with three letters - ONT. You know what that means, kids? Yep. Fire up the hot rod and take it for a spin. Hooray!

Welcome to the Wednesday ONT. This the Hammer of Justice edition.

A large rock sits in the center of campus at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. It is a blank canvas and available for painting on a first come, first served basis. Some efforts are artistic, others are...ummm....less so. Themes typically include upcoming events and big football games. This was the mural the students painted for Veterans Day 2024. Proof that the kids are alright (at least some kids)...

There was conversation in the overnight open thread last night sparked by Doof and his outing in Baltimore to see Iron Maiden in concert. Click through if you are a Maiden fan. Keep scrolling if not.
