Here’s a pretty fitting poem by Stephen Crane that perfectly expresses my sentiments when I sit to write the Open Thread every week:

> Once, I knew a fine song,  
> – It is true, believe me –  
> It was all of birds,  
> And I held them in a basket;  
> When I opened the wicket,  
> Heavens! They all flew away.  
> I cried, ‘Come back, little thoughts!’  
> But they only laughed.  
> They flew on  
> Until they were as sand  
> Thrown between me and the sky.

Okay, let the bitching, tipping, whining, complimenting, guffawing, cheering, complaining, rooting, boosting and scorning commence.
