A Not Very Special Edition Of The ONT

Y'know, some corporate accounts just aren't ready for the kind of people you meet on social media these days, especially Twitter:

Paul Ryan Lauded For Inspiring Millions Of Young Gutless Fucking Cowards To Take On Leadership Roles

Noting the former congressman’s deep, unwavering commitment to shying away from every one of his civic responsibilities, the Heritage Foundation lauded Paul Ryan Thursday for inspiring millions of young gutless fucking cowards to take on leadership roles. “Thank you, Mr. Ryan, for showing countless milquetoast little weaklings across the United States that if they want a place in politics, they can have it,” said Heritage Foundation spokesperson Katherine Primm, adding that she was grateful so many young candy-ass pushovers had the chance to see someone just like them not just get elected but also become speaker of the House.

Daniel Horowitz reminds us that there is a whole embedded “Republican” side of the swamp in DC, and they're going to be working as hard as they can to make sure that the policies enacted in PDT's second term are no different than those that would have come out of a, say, Joe Biden administration.

My Little Pony To Children: Marxism Is Not Magic


My Darling Margaret,

As the bitter war against the Collectivists enters its third year, I have to tell you that spirits have been quite low on here in our winter camps. The news that the Virginia and North Carolina militias were repulsed from the capital at Alexandria last month dealt a bitter blow to our hopes of finally ending this madness. All of that changed yesterday when the entire camp was electrified with the most astounding news. After months of negotiations, the Bronies have entered the conflict on our side! I do not believe that the totalitarian forces, who are surely as war-weary and worn out as we, will be able to resist the coming onslaught of rainbows and unicorns. With the grace of God and a dash of freedom's luck, we will crush the enemy and I will return to where I long to be – in the warm embrace of your loving arms – before the blossoms appear on the apple trees that line Hanged Man Creek. I remain,

Your loving husband,

Peter

When it comes time to chose a candy date at the Dem convention he'll 'reluctantly' drop out because of heart trouble and endorse whomever pays him.

It wouldn't surprise me if his heart trouble is a ruse concocted for this.

36 That snippet about the Orioles having braille on their uniforms reminded me of something I saw in the airport in Grand Forks, ND. The slot at the car-rental desk for dropping off the key for your rental car was labelled in the usual way - and also in braille. Think about that: a braille label on the slot where you drop off a car key. Either North Dakota is extremely lax about handing out driver's licenses, or someone got carried away on the inclusiveness thing. Or, most likely, some bureaucrat mandated that *everything* be labeled in braille, regardless of whether it makes sense.

As for blind people: Thank you, Baltimore Orioles, but I'm aware that there are blind people in the world. Now what do you want me to do?

73 Busy week, so I have no idea if it's been mentioned or not, but the pro-2A crowd in Virginia is taking things to the next level.

https://tinyurl.com/uzc3a9s

And from what I hear, even more counties than those are working to form militias independent of the state government. There's also talk of members compensating the sheriffs for the lack of a pay raise (probably as retaliation for so many of them backing the sanctuary movement), which is a good first step towards creating a shadow government.

I want lots of young Commies to stay at home on Election Day like they did in 2016. Since even the establishment can't work up any Democratic enthusiasm for Biden, maybe they can rig it for one of the mayors. Heck, Mayor Pete can alienate both the Bernie bros AND the blacks!

At this point, the only thing that could possibly stop Trump from being reelected is coronavirus.

An election campaign with a massive pandemic hitting the United States, with thousands dead, millions sick, large gatherings prohibited, and the economy tanking, would not be good for the incumbent.

So, it is reasonable to assume that the Deep State will do everything possible to bring coronavirus here, because OrangeManBad.

185 What lost it for the Soviets is they got unnerved by the US in the first half and took out their number one goalie who had been pretty much the team

You pull Vladislav Tretiak, the best goalie ever, and put in his understudy. Genius move, Soviets.

199 164 President Trump grew furious with senior advisers this week over a decision to allow 14 Americans who tested positive for coronavirus to return to the United States from Japan after being assured that infected patients would remain in quarantine overseas, according to administration officials.

At this point, the only thing that could possibly stop Trump from being reelected is coronavirus.

An election campaign with a massive pandemic hitting the United States, with thousands dead, millions sick, large gatherings prohibited, and the economy tanking, would not be good for the incumbent.

So, it is reasonable to assume that the Deep State will do everything possible to bring coronavirus here, because OrangeManBad.

The military took it in stride; the Military Governor for our State was a career Warrant Officer in the USAR who'd had the assignment devolved onto him. Laziest Hitler ever. Post Office was all like, whatever, we've been around and seen it before. Various other organizations ranged from deer-in-headlights "I'll just sit on the porch and watch the cloud go up" to a sort of Barney Fife bug-eye routine.


My takeaway was that, for all of the departments and tinhorn petty tyrants with wet dreams of busting your door down in the middle of the night, when it actually came to something icky like a Pelvic Inflammatory Disease outbreak, nobody in those naval-titled uniformed services had the nads to wave a car down and ask for ID.

287 The Nazis were Nationalists.

I see what you're getting at, and I'm not calling you full of anything. In essence you're perfectly right, but there was one other thing going on.

Just as Napoleon was nationalist-French but also had the "continental system," during the brief happy time when Germany first seized most of the known world, they got busy selling a notion of how everybody was going to get along in this new Reich. France and Belgium, for instance, were not going to be just rolled under to become provinces. There really was going to be a New Order, and plenty of French were glad to see it because it wasn't dominated by their old friends the Russians and the lame-ass world commune.
But there defintely was an internationalist tinge to the Reich.
A friend who runs a WWII museum in Belgium told me the German soldiers didn't become movie-grade monsters until after D-Day. They used to share their chocolate with the kids, just like GI's did. OK, not the SS.

313 @296 - let me tell you the story of Tiny Hobo.

I was living elsewhere, and when I went to check the back yard, there was a brief glimpse of a CREATURE fleeing into the night.

I put out some cat snax. And she ate them.

That was my mistake. Because when I went out the next night, to check on things, she was there...loudly demanding snax.

And I gave her some. I started to give her regular cat food, and she thought, yeah, this is regular, I want more.

So, she started showing up in the day time, demanding snax, and she let me pick her up and pet her (while demanding snax) and purred.

At the time, Leela (my cat, Very First Pet Thread Pic) was aging, so I didn't want a competitor to her (though I brought Tiny Hobo inside once, and Leela didn't seem to care).

A couple of days later, Tiny Hobo didn't appear. I thought, great, someone adopted her.

A couple of days after that, she re-appeared. I fed her, hugged her, and petted her. She did not appear after that.

I still think someone adopted her. She was very affectionate and personable, aside from Talking ALL the Time.

Anyway, that's the story of Tiny Hobo. If you think you've heard the last of her, well, I may just post this on the pet thread.

Good vibes to all.

From the ever-reliable Wiki (which appears to be okay for sports stuff):

In the 1989-90 season, mainly due to perestroika in the USSR, Soviet authorities permitted six 1980 Olympians -- Helmuts Balderis, Viacheslav Fetisov, Alexei Kasatonov, Vladimir Krutov, Sergei Makarov, and Sergei Starikov -- to join NHL clubs. . . ."

The only ones I remember seeing play in the NHL live (Rangers season ticket holder at the time) were Fetisov and Kasatonov. I might have seen any of the other four, too, I just don't remember.

I'll answer myself to avenge RickZ's honor. 1980's USSR team, which some say is the best international team ever put on the ice, had 5 players from my count who made to to the NHL, so it's very possible I can't count properly and it was 6. The 1984 Olympic team definitely had that many, most of whom had played in 1980. The 1987 Canada Cup team I mentioned was loaded with players who made it to the NHL.

It was used in one Dickens novel (which I did not read). So I know what they are, but I still don't know why they're happy. My best guess is the sand was used for flooring in pubs to absorb spitting and the 'sand boys' (men) selling that sand were often paid for their sand in spirits, making them happy. Is that right?

Apparently Royal Navy surgeon has a few boys much like powder monkeys to chuck sand on the deck so the saw bones did not fall over during a gunfight whilst cutting limbs off. They were happy because as part of a ships company the got a gill of grog from the fanny every day. As have I, even tho I am Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment strangely enough.

356 It is a shame, though, that Tretiak never got the chance, although he has been on the coaching side. I describe him as the best goalie the NHL never had.

Posted by: Vendette at February 22, 2020 12:09 AM (nRNOc)


Tretiak was old for an athlete in 1989, also being born in 1952.

While Ken Dryden is arguably the best NHL goalie history-wise, a case can be made for Patrick Roy, too. Not many goalies win Stanley Cups on two different teams (2 with Montreal and 2 with the Colorado Avalanche).

Today, while inspecting a 100-year-old house, I was testing one of the old, double-hung windows. Released the latch and the upper sash came slamming down, catching the tip of my middle finger between the top rails of the two sashes. #*$%%@!

Now, the thing is throbbing like a SOB, and for some reason the rest of my hand is sore. On the positive side, the nail on that finger was looking a bit worn out, so it was about time for a new nail anyway.

Well, it's all black n' blue. May have to drill a relief hole, but will try to avoid that if possible.

I think this is worse than my last nail incident, where my thumb got stuck between a 6" cast iron drain pipe and the blade holder on a sawzall running at full speed. I think it got smashed at least two times before I pulled it away. At least it didn't get the blade. Got a new thumbnail from that incident.

I know he was too old for it when the time came; I've wondered if he would have if he had been given the chance even around 1984 or 85.

I think part of the problem with naming a "best goalie ever" in the NHL is that the NHL has changed so much over the years in the equipment department (not to mention the size of the players themselves). There were plenty of good ones like Hall, Plante, and Vezina, for example. Going to be flippant here, but transport Patrick Roy back to the days of a facemask at best and before banana blades were banned and he'd probably be soiling his pants.

If you get a blister under the nail, and it becomes very swollen and painful, there is one thing you can do to obtain instant relief. Obtain a sewing needle, or even a thin nail, and heat it red hot in the flame of a torch, and use the red hot needle to burn a hole in the nail. There are no nerve endings in the nail, or the bubble of blood under it, so you will not cause any pain. Once the needle hits the blood, it is quenched cold, so even if you push far enough to touch the nail bed, the needle won't burn sensitive tissue.

Had this done to me by a doctor after I dropped a transmission on my big toe. Instant relief from the pressure of the blister. Also a small fountain of blood, but that blood was already "out of circulation".

Some modern goalies you could throw back in time and they'd be decent, if not successful, would be ones like Billy Smith and Ron Hextall. They could more than handle themselves in the high stick-swinging days of yore.

But a lot of modern-day goalies act like prima donnas if some player merely creates a breeze skating by, flopping and rolling around like some bad acting European kickball player.

426 Which reminds me of a guy in college. I studied printing (graphic communications) at Cal Poly. We had all sorts of working printing presses, large and small, as well as industrial paper cutters, binding machines, etc. All of this equipment was used by students in the lab classes.

It was also used by the student-run printing company, of which I was the pre-press manager. Our crew would print the daily newspaper, class schedules, commencement programs, and all sorts of stuff for the school. We worked after class hours, usually into the night.

One of the guys was using the huge (36", IIRC) guillotine paper cutter to cut down big stacks of paper. The dimensions were getting a bit small, and positioning them was getting tricky, so he went behind the cutter to hold the stack of paper in place while he had another guy press the two buttons on the front of the cutter to initiate the cut (there are two buttons for a reason)...

Now, you're probably thinking he's gonna get something chopped off, but noooooo... he got his middle and ring finger stuck under the 5,000+ psi clamp that comes down before the blade. Smashed his finger tips like ripe cherry tomatoes. Brutal.

Doctors were able to save his fingers, which is fortunate because it wouldn't have been as fun ridiculing him for the next couple of months if he had lost them.

429 Greyhound is exactly the kind of business that Romney's Bain Capital would buy in a hostile takeover, rape of all value by selling off every possible asset, then declaring bankruptcy on the rest, and walking away from the steaming pile of shit they'd just dropped on the taxpayer's floor.

Run-on sentence? Sue me.

Bain would.

Their lawyers have never met anyone like a Hordeling, though.

It's a mistake they'll only make once.

Oh, and why can't we get a commercial with Paul Ryan pushing Mitt Rombley offa da cliff in da wheelchair?

I'd cough up the bucks for that one on Pay Per View.

But only if it's portrayed by the real people, not actors, and the push-and-fall ain't faked.

I'm in for the $ in that case.

Posted by: NZFrank with a M2 at February 22, 2020 12:47 AM (tAuzy)


When I watch Wolverhampton in the Premiere League, they have a guy, Adama Traore, who's build like a moose. When I see him play I always think he missed his sports calling. He has a rugby player's body.

As for sports violence, our sports have become so damn pussified. Even my beloved ice hockey. I simply can't watch sports as they are so milquetoast and boring today. The African Ballet probably being the worst offender: Three steps, dunk! Three steps, dunk! But baseball is right behind them. And don't get me started on the NFL's 'you big meanie, you hit him!' penalty rules.

438 NZFrank, someday you'll have to explain cricket to me. I'm pretty good at watching a sporting event I've never seen before and picking up the rules/nuances of the game; Aussie Rules Football (Footy) comes to mind. But years ago I watched a cricket test match on tv for over two hours and still had absolutely no friggin' clue.

Posted by: RickZ at February 22, 2020 01:18 AM (Y8PSl)

439 Some modern goalies you could throw back in time and
they'd be decent, if not successful, would be ones like Billy Smith and
Ron Hextall. They could more than handle themselves in the high
stick-swinging days of yore.



But a lot of modern-day goalies act like prima donnas if some player
merely creates a breeze skating by, flopping and rolling around like
some bad acting European kickball player.



When the money's so good, hangnail injuries become life-threatening.

Posted by: RickZ at February 22, 2020 01:00 AM (Y8PSl)

Hextall would definitely be swinging his stick right along with them.

One of the reasons I'm not sold on Roy being the best ever is the fact that he was the impetus to the NHL having to regulate the size of goalie equipment. Look at him in 1986 and then look at him in 1993.

I was at a Flyers-Rangers preseason game one year in the early '80s. By the time the game ended, there were about 7 skaters from each team left on the bench. Something like 505 minutes of penalties, including multiple game misconducts. The best preseason game I ever saw.

Not a Wolverhampton supporter, I'm a Man United fan (who has the sadz this go around but was delirious in 1999 with The Treble). But Wolverhamton done good with some very good goals; they pretty much wrapped up the tie as it will be hard for Espanyol to come back from an 0-4 deficit, not impossible as they'll be at home but damn difficult. And, yes, the Europa League (formerly the UEFA Cup).

And hockey today was fast and good. 3 goalies rotating, two lines on each bench, and enough college players to keep the level up.

The Garden had a 'ROO-AHH' chant that would get going when Les Habs visited. Name also lent itself to a chant.

By far the funniest chant I ever heard at the Garden was directed towards Dino Ciccarelli. He did something one game, got whistled for a penalty and lowered his hockey shorts and bent over, showing his ass towards the ref in protest. Whenever his team played thereafter, the sing-song 'Drop Your Drawers, Dino, Drop-Your-Drawers' would echo down from the stands; it was an instant classic.

A Libyan "comedian" didn't bother to take his immigration papers with him (a legal requirement) to a gig in Spokane, and didn't like being questioned at the Greyhound station returning to Portland, and screamed about it on Twitter.

He told the Portland alt-weekly that he was looking forward to getting his US citizenship, so he could visit his family in Libya. The basis for his asylum claim is that he fled Libya in fear of his life, and would be killed if he had to return to Libya.

490 Dino Ciccarelli. There's a blast from the past. Fun player to watch, unpredictable. And the kind (small) not much in the NHL any more.

But that reminds me of his more idiosyncratic paisan, Al Iafrate. Lanky, huge, volatile, perhaps not all there. Explosive skater, and I think he won a slapshot skills competition once too.

But he's seared, seared into my memory and hockey idiom for his signature move - skating the puck out through the slot - even the crease - when he deemed it necessary. Goalies, of course, practically fainted when he did it - very risky move, against all the norms and standards for a defenseman.

"Iafrate through the crease".

One time my team had done the deal where we bought 100 tickets to a Caps game, and so were able to play a scrimmage against one our house league opponents at the Cap Center just before a Caps game. As we came off the ice, going to our locker room (NOT as nice as the pro locker rooms, of course), there was Iafrate.

Sitting on a folding chair, right up against the glass.

In his jockstrap/with cup. No shirt.

Smoking.

Yeah, the era of the smaller NHLer is over. Now players are averaging 6'2" and 195 pounds. I doubt you'll ever see the likes of a 5'8" defenseman like Reijo Routsalainen again. A two-time Cup winner, to boot.

Any general disaster is blamed on whoever's leading.



Trump is running on the theme: "Things are great, why change?"

Yeah, you're gonna find that Trump has about two dozen or so themes. Trust me this thing ain't even *started* yet.

He is going to wipe out his opponent, whoever it is.

We may feel superstitious about saying it but they already *know* it. This thing is over, because if upstart Trump was a force of nature that willed his way in to the WH against all odds, Incumbent Trump is a 10 Hiroshimas on the Richter Scale. Just kick back, stop worrying, stock up on popcorn, and enjoy. Gonna be a fun year.

500 10/17/2016
--------------------------------------Belmonte added that most losers of close presidential elections have conceded defeat and called for the nation to unify, which has helped to maintain public faith in the system.

In 1877, Democrat Samuel Tilden gave a speech in which he continued to claim that he was the rightful winner of the previous year's election, but he nonetheless called on his supporters to "be of good cheer," adding: "The Republic will survive."
[Some Trump Supporters Demanding 'Revolution' If He Doesn't Win]

Still, Belmonte said, some of them went on to refer to Tilden's opponent, President Rutherford B. Hayes," as "Rutherford B. Fraud."

More recent losers of disputed elections have been even clearer. Richard Nixon pledged his "wholehearted support" for John F. Kennedy in 1960, even as some Nixon supporters alleged fraud by Democrats in crucial Illinois.

In 2000, Vice President Al Gore - who had won the popular vote and might have won a majority of electoral votes were it not for a purge of Florida's voter rolls while opponent's brother was governor - promised to "bring Americans together" after the Supreme Court decided the election for George W. Bush.

Whether Trump would respond to defeat in the same way is very much an open question. He pledged at the first presidential debate that he'd "absolutely" support Clinton if she won. But he has since hedged, telling The New York Times later that week: "We're going to have to see. We're going to see what happens."

That has some election experts worrying that America's long tradition of peacefully transferring power could be at risk.

"One of the things we take for granted is that, even in tumultuous times when elections are hard fought, the losers concede the election and embrace the process, even if things did not go well," the election law scholar Rick Hasen, a professor of law and political science at the University of California-Irvine, wrote after Trump's "we're going to have to see" comments.

"Donald Trump threatens this peace," Hasen wrote.

I only watch some of the playoffs because my friend runs a hockey playoff pool; he's done that for over 30 years. I've won the thing twice ($1,600 and $850; prize pool depends on the number of entries), so I keep playing. I've made more off that hockey pool, including losses, than I've ever made at a casino or in a lottery. So if I'm still in the running in the semis or finals I'll watch.

He said it's because politics have gotten so ornery and tho he like Trumps policies he wishes the Pres would act in a more genteel way....

When we bought our house, we went up into the loft of the garage. The floor was covered several inches deep with black walnuts and the shells. They must've been storing them there for years. After we cleaned it out I swear they retaliated. We were finding walnuts hidden in the craziest places. Shortly after, I had left my car windows open and found them hidden inside the car! Bold little rats with bushy tails!!

Anyway, one of the guys who carried that vet (the bearded one, Jason) was on the RedPill78 webcast last night. He had changed his shirt to a Q shirt (which he'd smuggled in) after carrying that vet. When he was invited to sit behind Trump, a sad lady told him he wouldn't be able to wear the Q shirt so prominently. He said no problem, as he still had his Q tattoo, which would be visible on his right arm every time he cheered.
Fox and Friends had approached him to appear on the show, but he wasn't interested.
