Open Thread – Trickle Down Halloween
In the spirit of the season…
Open Thread – One Too Many
This picture was not taken in Alaska. While we do have moose a-plenty, we do not (as a rule) have apple trees enough to cause this yearly Swedish phenomenon. In the fall, it seems, our Swedish ungulate friends develop a taste for the intoxicating fermented snacks. This guy, after imbibing on the low-hanging fruit, reached [...]
Open Thread – Krazy Kamper
What can you say? Somehow, if the current trajectory holds true, I can see Todd and Sarah driving this in about 30 years, going 40 mph down the Seward Highway.
Open Thread – Michele, One L
I’ve been saving this one for a good weekend chuckle, so nobody gets in trouble for laughing too loud at an inappropriate time at work. Enjoy! [h/t Mudflatter DinkleJim]
Open Thread – The Richness of English
I got a great chuckle from this email from Mudflatter Butch: This is really inspiring for people fascinated by the richness of the English language. Please know that I didn’t make any of this up, but am merely passing along the work of scholars more assiduous than myself. Did you know that the words “race [...]
Open Thread – What are they Flushing in Fairbanks?
This sign in a Fairbanks restaurant lavatory indicates an apparent epidemic of the deliberate flushing of car keys, computer equipment, and what appears to be a power drill. (?) [h/t Mudflatter PottyHumor]
Open Thread – The Exxon Valdez Latte
I’m not sure how I feel about naming a latte after an environmental disaster, but they do deserve props for gallows humor and creativity!
Open Thread – Freedom
Why? Why do they refuse freedom?
Open Thread – Oh, Deer!
I loved this photo which was a winner of the National Wildlife Federation’s wildlife photo contest. Now they are looking for captions. Click HERE if you want to enter, and be sure to put your entry in the comments below too! With that head of hair, my entry was: “YOU’RE FIRED!”
Open Thread – Scary Apples
This video has been going a bit viral, and you may have seen it, but I’m posting anyway because, hey… It’s Thursday, and why not? This cat apparently has issues with apples, and the score is as funny as the video. Enjoy.
Open Thread – Dear Human, …

Mudflix – Whose Books Would Chicagoans Ban? (You’ll Never Guess)
OK, just to be clear, we here at The Mudflats totally heart the first amendment. It’s actually one of our favorite ones. We would never want to sound like we wanted to limit speech, or squelch the marketplace of ideas, no matter how mind-numbing, head-banging, or downright painfully idiotic those “ideas” may be. That said [...]
Open Thread – Spotted Outside City Hall
This little gem was snapped outside City Hall last Friday by Mudflatter “Woman of Mystery.” I wonder what party is getting planned? Feel free to write your own caption, or chat about the issues of the day.
Open Thread – God Hates Shrimp
To commemorate the historic vote on marriage equality in New York state, and Pride celebrations across the land, I’d like to point you to one of my very favorite satirical websites - God Hates Shrimp. What’s that all about, you ask? Well you know when people start quoting Leviticus to defend their stance against gay [...]
Open Thread – Eerie
OK, this irreverent cringe-inducing but funny satirical clip is TEN years old. All I’m saying is… imagine different hair, and a different annoying accent… and a bus. Just saying.
