Saturday Night "Club ONT" June 28, 2025 [The 3 Ds]
Received via email from Hrothgar
Just a Thought
But didn't President Trump steal the "two weeks" meme from our very own AoS in his masterful misdirection as to how to deal with Iran?
Drink of the Night
Technically a type of Boilermaker, that style of beer-and-shot combo which sometimes feature the shot dropped inside the beer (ergo, "bomb" shot), this drink originally was made using lager. In recent times, however, the version replacing beer with an energy drink has far surpassed its progenitor in popularity. Either way, this easy-to-prepare-and infamous-combination has managed to maintain its reputation for getting the party started.- Pour one can of Red Bull into a pint glass - Fill a shot glass with Jägermeister - Drop shot glass into pint glass - Consume immediately [Doggo says: Please, no dancing on the bar with your pants off. Bar dancing with pants on may be acceptable. No, you cannot keep the shot glass.]
After 40 years of delivering the tragic news of a PC crash to Windows users, Microsoft's infamous "blue screen of death" will be going away. But not to worry - a black screen of death will be replacing it, albeit without the sad emoticon face. The infamous "blue screen of death" has been around since the very first version of Windows in 1985.1985 - smack dab in the middle of the 80s. What an awesome time!
Two insects - a fly and a juvenile ant - preserved in 99-million-year-old amber from Myanmar have revealed what scientists are calling some of the oldest examples of parasitic "zombie" fungi ever discovered. The fossils, found in Myanmar's amber markets, are a rare opportunity for scientists "to visualise the ancient ecological relationships preserved in fossils," said Yuhui Zhuang, lead author and doctoral researcher at Yunnan University. One of the fossils, a grotesquely well-preserved one, shows the fruiting bodies of the ancient fungi bursting through the hosts' heads, frozen mid-invasion.
Looking less like a vase and more like a complicated relationship with the wheel and clay.
Club ONT Music The request line was open. Dear Disco, Dino, and Doggo, my name is Moron and I am writing to you from somewhere in the grey-boxes. Something happened very recently - something I've been wondering about the outcome for a long time. Every time I hear this song, I'm reminded of that moment. 3D's, could you please play it as a Grey-Box Dedication? Well, Morons, it's always special when something happens that perfectly captures what is going on in the world. Below are your Grey-Box Dedications. From all of us here at Club ONT, we salute you. Keep your brain sharp and the keyboard at the ready.No way!! 😂 pic.twitter.com/Y7DjBTN2cD

ELIMINATED: eliminated Hakham Muhammad Issa Al-Issa—one of the founders of Hamas’ military wing.
Issa led Hamas’ force build-up, training, and planned the October 7 massacre. As Head of Combat Support, he advanced aerial & naval attacks against Israelis.

My translation of Barrett's written smackdown of Jackson is: Jackson is a legal moron.
I actually think Barrett is insulted to be on the Court with that Jackson bimbo. Jackson might turn Barrett hard core conservative. Nah.
But I can't imagine what those conferences are like, where SCOTUS discusses cases. Discussing legal aspects of a case with Jackson must be like banging your head against a brick wall over and over. It reads like Barrett finally had enough of banging her head against the brick wall of Jackosn's super duper legal mind.

The most telling thing was that the other 5 justices agreeing with Barrett all simply concurred with her opinion, and did not write their own concurring opinions. Which means all 5 of them read that legal bitchslap of Jackson , and said “yep, we think that too.”

My translation of Barrett's written smackdown of Jackson is: Jackson is a legal moron.
I actually think Barrett is insulted to be on the Court with that Jackson bimbo. Jackson might turn Barrett hard core conservative. Nah.
But I can't imagine what those conferences are like, where SCOTUS discusses cases. Discussing legal aspects of a case with Jackson must be like banging your head against a brick wall over and over. It reads like Barrett finally had enough of banging her head against the brick wall of Jackosn's super duper legal mind.

Next time they should just give Kay Jay a couple of fidget spinners or maybe a Nintendo Switch with some noise-cancelling headphones. Kagan can tell her how to vote afterward.

I like going places I supposedly don’t belong; now I certainly was not tripping, but I went to a local barber college to get my haircut this morning (my hair is easy, hard to mess up) and I rather enjoyed being the only white guy in the building, probably on the block. They are always a bit surprised, but very nice, the proprietor always has a big screen tv playing black gospel music, fun to listen to.
I think some of them are always surprised that to me, it’s no big thing to be around all of them. And they do a real good job, and cheap.

The reason it actually wasn’t risky is that people there are out a whole lot more than we are, and whenever I was out walking on a sidewalk, there was never a time when there weren’t at least 500 people out on that road or sidewalk with me. And of course you’ve got to take precautions against pick pockets, but nobody’s going to do some great crime in the middle of some throbbing crowd.

because the farm was over 200 years old, ( and no doubt had slaves at one time, but I think he mostly said it to tease me because he knew that I loved his daughter as a dear friend and I was a Yankee.

I’m here to tell you, that isn’t the half of it. Until power steering came along, forget it. Manual steering aka “armstrong steering” is actually kind of nice in some ways. One, it’s a lot less noisy. No parts to break. It steers OK mostly, very easy - as long as you’re moving. Turning the wheels at a dead stop would be impossible for many, especially girls.
One other nasty feature of manual steering. When 4 wheeling on rough trails, it is possible to hit a boulder or whatever “just so” and the direct steering column linkup will send the steering wheel spinning so fast it will hum. Popular way to break a wrist or thumb back in the day if they are in the spokes.

They were fighting for the right to tell the government to fuck off. The Southern states were doing their own 'experiment in democracy', as all states then were considered. Also, today most cannot understand the love and affection people felt for their home states, a truly alien concept today. Most then never travelled beyond 20 miles from home. It's why Bobby Lee went with Virginia and not the U.S. Army. Also, only about 1.6% of the Southern population owned slaves. So not everybody was fighting for slavery but, as I said, the right to tell the government to fuck off.
Not saying it's right. But there were a lot of slaves in the North, too, and not just those passing through on the Underground Railroad. The Emancipation Proclamation only freed the slaves in territory still held by The Rebellion. Only after Lincoln's death were the 14th, 15th and 16th Amendments passed clearing that up.

He's describing not his war experiences, but his pre-war experiences.
There was a program sponsored by the military to educate lots of engineers for the war - ASTP. Basically paid for college. Forget the actual expansion of that acronym, but Brooks says at the time many called it "All Safe Til Peace" - people figured they could hide out in college and not be sent overseas.
Didn't work out that way for many, of course, including him. But the funny part is him describing what it was like for a Jewish kid from Brooklyn to be marching in formation, in uniform, at dawn, around statues of Lee and Stonewall Jackson. He went to the Citadel. It's sort of like a Mel Brooks comedy set up, but it was real life.

Over what issue?
Sorry, this dodge doesn't work. Southerners don't get to constantly blame all of their problems on yankee cockroaches and then pretend the Civil War started because of, as KJB would say, legaleese. Southerners have an assload of problems caused by Southerners and it has nothing to do with yankees.
It started because the south wanted to preserve slavery which was key to the southern economy. Yes, the north also had a bad history with slavery and was reforming. The south did not want to. Sure, states rights was used as the justification but the reality is the south wanted to keep slavery.
Trust me, lots of us know what it feels like to love our home states. Look where the 13 original colonies are. We hate the communist infiltration a lot more than you do because it came here first. We sure as hell didn't create it anymore than you did.

So I took my ‘64 in just to be contrarian. No warning flashers, no backup lights, and no seat belts. The examiner wanted to stop the test right now. She gets in, and makes this big production out of it, with exaggerated arm movement trying to catch the shoulder belt. That isn’t there.
“Where’s the seat belts?”
“There aren’t any. They weren’t required in 1964”
“We can’t do this!!”
“We certainly can. Pursuant to state code 117.3 section 2.4, seat belts are not required in vehicles until model year 1966”
Etc etc.

Sorry, this dodge doesn't work. Southerners don't get to constantly blame all of their problems on yankee cockroaches and then pretend the Civil War started because of, as KJB would say, legaleese. Southerners have an assload of problems caused by Southerners and it has nothing to do with yankees.
It started because the south wanted to preserve slavery which was key to the southern economy. Yes, the north also had a bad history with slavery and was reforming. The south did not want to. Sure, states rights was used as the justification but the reality is the south wanted to keep slavery.

Government overreach. Again, each state was their own experiment in democracy. In The Federalist Papers, it was made plain that if people did not like what their state was doing, move to another one. Seriously.
Back then, it was the United States, not the United States. The accent stress makes a big difference in meaning and the reason why the Civil War was so important.

Popular election of the Senate was indeed the biggest fuckup to the original federal architecture of all of them, and just ruined everything. The Senate was to represent the states, as states, state governments. The House represented the population directly. To get anything passed, those two very different groups had to agree.
The 17th Amendment took the state governments out of the control loop completely, which was the main obstacle to the expansion of federal power against the state powers.

My Mom was with him so this was not a 'My Dad exaggerates a bit in his stories' tale.
This was back in the late '40s (way before my time!), Dad on leave with Mom in the car driving through podunk GA on those two-lane roads. Dad was stationed at the time in Colo Colo, Canal Zone, Panama. Mom was driving and went through a speed trap. My Mom didn't have a license but my Dad pulled out his Spanish license from Panama and said, 'See, right here, it says in Spanish if the husband is in the car, the wife can drive.' The cop had no idea so off to the local magistrate they went. Dad explained the same thing to the judge about the license, in Spanish, allowing the wife to drive if the husband was with her. Judge asked if anybody in Court read Spanish. No one did. Case dismissed.
I honestly thought he was bullshitting me with that story but my Mom backed him up. And she did not do that too often so I know it's true. Couldn't happen today, obviously.

Blondie was an underground band until '78, Wiki says, popular in the UK and Oz, but didn't really become popular here until their 3rd album. That jives when I first remember "Heart of Glass" coming out. I was in middle school, about to start high school in that time frame.

How did he itemize it because that many children couldn’t have died in just 5 months since USAID was gutted.

He literally walked into clinics and asked if anyone had died lately. Sure enough, there were people who were already sick or at risk who DIED. Malaria, malnutrition, AIDS, childbirth. The leaders of these countries have not prioritized this, which means that the USA is dropping the ball. We are obligated to save the life of every sick person on the planet.

I admit I haven't read any interviews of these Mobambes lately, but I can only guess that that's how they regard this peculiar American interest in sick African babies. Like restoring vintage automobiles. Just something Americans do for some reason when any normal person knows that babies die. (puts another cache of diamonds in safe)

When I first heard that Georgia story, I really thought it was complete bullshit. Happened early in the morning, typical speed trap time. It was a corrupt little podunk town making their revenue off of out-of-state speeders. My Dad was a real bullshit artist, about as bad a Obama, always telling tales and making himself the hero. But he sold that bluff. My Mom probably looked real innocent, too, helping the case, what with little kids (siblings) in the car. But some of those little towns in the South back then were nightmares. Hollywood made hay out of it.

Just chiming in from northern Israel. Very busy with tons of pups and grandpups who arrived on Friday and won't stop making noise - not just the kids.
Birthday party coming up for a grandpup in about 10 minutes and I'm the designated photographer.
Then it's fun at the pool for them, which gives us a chance to share the noise outside with the neighbors.
Maybe l8r.

Back when I entered college in the fall of '74, the guys from NoVa were all into Wishbone Ash. They weren't very big down in Norfolk as I never heard of them until college. Maybe I heard some songs on the progressive rock station but if I did, the song wasn't memorable.
Unlike one song I taped from the radio onto a little cassette tape machine. I had no idea who did the song as I didn't catch the DJ say that. But I loved the song. A couple of years later, I was getting high in a dorm room that same fall and that song came on the turntable. I jumped, practically knocking the bong over, and excitedly asked, 'Who is this?'
The guy handed me the album cover. Blodwyn Pig, 'Ahead Rings Out'. The song was 'See My Way'. Bought the album and eventually the cd. Just for that song.

Anybody who supports Planned Parenthood can't complain about fewer black children. That's what PP was founded upon and delivers today.

Holy smokes. The groove that band has was divine. And Buckingham's solo is something only he could pull off. That was great.
The closest guitar player to Buckingham I can think of is Richard Thompson. Saw him in Santa Fe 6 years ago with a couple sidemen. Such guitar playing comes from, I have no idea.
1952 Vincent Black Lightning

We had a good week with the Supremes this week with the added bonus of Ketanji's 'Martian from another planet' idiocy. Perhaps she doesn't know Mars IS a planet.
Wasn't she the most reversed district court judge ? Perhaps Biden's keeper misread 'most reversed' as 'most revered' - just one letter off...?
And...didn't she also have the added distinction of being reversed 9-0 by the Supremes? Or am I misremembering that one?
Here's hoping for another good week with Trump's BBB getting final passage.
Happy Birthday Amurica!!!
