From Rudyard Kipling's "Tommy" ...

O it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, go away";
But it's "Thank you, Mister Atkins," when the band begins to play
The band begins to play, my boys, the band begins to play,
O it's "Thank you, Mister Atkins," when the band begins to play.

Small net in need of repair cast across yuuge waters by possessors of teeny minds. Hilarious run up to the New Year. Thanks, cosplayers!

"Matriphagy," not "matripjagy."

Being totally ignorant as to the ladybird spider, I opted for a brief trip down the proverbial rabbit hole. And that's where I learned a new word: matripjagy? Whoosh. Live and learn. Thanks for posting that key to a small rabbit hole door, always interesting.

Condolences on the reason for your rite of passage visit to West Virginia.

Some people see Weat Virginia as real "Take Me Home, Country Roads" country. I've been there a few times and always found it to be one of those locales with a decidedly "The Land Where They Eat Their Young" vibe. And it's not the topography that does that.

PFC Chickenhawk MacBonespurs is a giddy wars freak.
Like a lot of bloviators who keep themselves and theirs well clear of it.

The nursing home industry? Free to do what?

Cut costs and maximize profits.
Not called an "industry" for nothing.
Remember: "Corporations are people, my friend."
