Saturday Night "Club ONT" September 6, 2025 [The 3 Ds]
Drink of the Night Playing card drinks - back by popular demand
In January 1833 in New Salem, Illinois, Lincoln partnered with his friend from his militia days, William F. Berry, to purchase a small store, which they named Berry and Lincoln. Stores could sell alcohol in quantities greater than a pint for off-premises consumption, but it was illegal to sell single drinks to consume at the store without a license. In March 1833, Berry and Lincoln were issued a tavern, or liquor, license, which cost them $7 and was taken out in Berry's name. Stores that sold liquor to consume on the premises were called groceries.

After seeing the cave in summer 1829, when he was 20 years old, he immediately started writing the overture and completed it the following year. He wrote, then and there, to his sister Fanny, “In order to make you understand how extraordinarily the Hebrides affected me, I send you the following, which came into my head there.” The note included the opening phrase of what would become the full overture.Legend of Fingal's Cave
According to the legend, the two places are the opposite ends of an ancient bridge built by the benevolent Irish giant Fionn mac Cumhaill. While building the pathway towards Scotland, Fionn gets informed that his enemy Scottish giant Benandonner is coming to fight him. Fionn cannot withstand Benandonner’s strength, so he asks his wife Oona to help him. She disguises Fionn, dressing him as a baby and hiding him in a cradle. Then she bakes some cakes, hiding some iron in some of them, and waits for the giant’s arrival. When Benandonner arrives, not finding Fionn, he waits for him in his house. At the same time, he tries to intimidate Oona by showing her his great power. At this point, Fionn’s clever wife offers Benandonner some iron-cakes, but as he bites into cakes, the iron he chips his teeth. Oona ridicules him for being weak, saying that her husband eats those cakes without troubles, and feeds one (without iron) to the camouflaged Fionn. Benandonner, having seen the baby’s strength, is scared to meet his father and runs back to Scotland, smashing the causeway behind him so Fionn couldn’t follow.

True story: Buddy's family came to America as indentured servants to 2nd Jonestown. They headed west after paying their debt. On the way, somewhere around Alabama, they had been there a while, the patriarch beat another man to death. The man was a child abuser and a wife beater. Buddy's elder came upon one of these events and took the matter in hand.
The judge gave the man an option. Go to jail or marry the woman and raise the children. He married the woman, raised the children along with the three she had by him.

Same here. Basic Training is designed to grind up smart-asses like Bill Murray's character and either make soldiers out of them, or get rid of them. No way he makes it through with that attitude intact. Plus, Warren Oates was too old to be a DI, although he did a decent job in the role, aside from putting up with way too much crap from Murray and Ramis.

No, Abraham Lincoln was not a bartender. He did, however, co-own a general store in New Salem, Illinois, in the early 1830s with William Berry, which was licensed to sell liquor. Lincoln occasionally sold alcohol over the counter as part of the store’s operations, but this was a small aspect of his work there, and he was not a bartender in the modern sense. His primary roles during that time were as a storekeeper, postmaster, and surveyor, before he pursued law and politics.

The very first car I ever drove as a teenager was a 1981 Chrysler K-Car. It was my grandparents car, and they gave it to my mom. It was, uh, not great. It needed a push, when going downhill. If it went over 65, the engine conked out. So, no power, flaky engine, one lone speaker for sound. It had an AM/FM radio and that was about as modern as it got.

The term “doof” has a few meanings depending on context:
1. Music Festival (Australia): In Australian slang, a “doof” is an outdoor electronic music festival or rave, often held in remote or bush settings, featuring techno, trance, or other electronic dance music. The term comes from the onomatopoeic “doof doof” sound of the bass in electronic music. These events are known for their countercultural, free-spirited vibe, similar to Burning Man but smaller and more music-focused.
2. Slang for Fool: In informal English, especially in Australian or British slang, “doof” can be a playful or derogatory term for a foolish or silly person, akin to “doofus.”
3. Fictional Context: In some fictional settings, like the animated series Phineas and Ferb, “Doof” refers to Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, a comedic villain character. This is unrelated to the other meanings but might come up in pop culture discussions.

IIRC they just filmed about eight hours of ad-libs and then figured out the "depressed kid and Murray" arc at the end of production, so had to edit everything around that.
And it worked. Somehow.

K-cars were respectable little cars. But the K-car platform became the basis for the Dodge Caravan mini-van, which started a whole market niche that continues even today. A supremely useful if totally unglamorous vehicle.

His heartrate barely broke 70 during the launch of Apollo 16. He did get a big overexcited while landing LM, heat rate hitting 90.

George Thorogood was a much better musician than Prince. And also real solid person. I remember talking to the leader of a local rockabilly band that opened for George in Calgary. He came in while they were rehearsing for their set, and gave them all kinds of support. And gave them great praise once their set was over in the show, too.

Murray has about 10 all-time classic "comedies."
I put quotes around comedies because Murray's acting style and mannerism are not what I would call classically comedic.
Mostly snark and general annoyance playing a version of Bill Murray.
Don't get me wrong, I pretty much love everything he's done, but I find him to be the odd duck of comedy.

Murray will always get an A+ from me for that movie. I also enjoyed his 1988 movie, 'Scrooged'. As said above, he stretched his wings, going from a 2nd year 'new guy' on Saturday Night Live to a variety of funny and/or interesting movie roles.
Someone said above he was in a league with Eddie Murphy for comdians in movies. I'll also add Robin Williams who did some interesting work after 'Mork'.
If I had a video library, that would be a part of my starter package, along with 'Blazing Saddles', 'The Princess Bride' and 'Galaxy Quest'.

Most? Many? men don't really care about size when you're looking for a mate. But, we wouldn't complain if they were bigger.

Most women I’ve known will agree, if you can get them to talk openly, that a women’s body is innately far more attractive than a male body. I can’t disagree, I feel the same. Men are designed mainly to take a licking and keep on ticking.

We arrive at the launching site
The sky is still dark, nearing dawn
On the Florida coastline
Circling choppers slash the night
With roving searchlight beams
This magic day when super-science
Mingles with the bright stuff of dreams

I have to give the minority population of D.C. a little credit here. It would be so easy for them to join in and be given all sorts of Munchausen By Protest praise. But they haven't. It's white liberals who often don't even live in D.C. who are doing the protesting, protesting a drop in crime and increased safety.
So kudos to the residents in D.C. for seeing common sense and staying away from the protests.

Well, the run of the earth spinning a bit faster than 24 hours will end tomorrow, the 7th. That will end the run faster that 24 hour (mean solar) days since 6/20.
From the predictions, we should get a about 4 days of slow days, then it will speed back up until about Oct. 4. Then it will start to slow down pretty good.
2025 will either be the 3rd of 2nd fastest mean since 2020.

===========
Looks like you got your answer:
The flag is actually supposed to be that way. The flag is placed that way on military uniforms as well. It may appear backwards to an observer but it’s showing the flag moving forward not retreating. The union (stars) are moving forward at all times towards the battle (enemy). Represents the courage of our military members.
And good evenenenenening!

Viewers will notice that the flag is displayed back to front. This is because it is protected by a linen backing sewn into the opposite side, leaving only the wrong side in view.

The younger guy in the full diplomatic formal dress, holding a briefcase, Kase Tashekazu, was a diplomat his whole life. That's Yoko's uncle. I am fairly sure he spoke English, which makes sense. Dutch guy who did the film restoration did not know this particular trivia.
Almost my favorite part of the whole story were the signatures of Canada and France that were in the wrong place - something pointed out by the *Japanese* side (almost surely Kase, probably the only fluent English speaker there). Eventually Gen. Sutherland agrees to "correct" it all by crossing out/switching the country names under the signatures, by hand (as explained in the video narration).
Nothing more Japanese than, as the losers, correcting a minor part of the document that just happens to be the acceptance of your country's only surrender in its history.

I love the Broncos.
First time I saw them on TV was when they beat Oklahoma a decade or so ago in a bowl game. Them scrappy fookers won after several overtimes with a hook and ladder play. Cool as fuck-all. QB was a dude named Zabranski or something.

If I had a lot of loose change right now, I'd take a trip to DC. The document is on display in the National Archives Museum until October 1.
I was curious about why Mamoru Shigemitsu was limping and found out about his injury in a bombing incident in Shanghai in 1932, which the narration mentioned. It didn't mention the perp, Korean independence activist Yun Bong-Gil, whose memorial I'll visit next time I'm in Seoul.

Can you imagine if some donkey went to sign the Declaration of Independence and totally failed at space-management and began his name too close to the edge and couldn't properly finish it? He would've ruined the Declaration document forever.
Thankfully, we didn't have any canadians signing the Declaration Of Independence.

So, back to the backwards flag: Is it true the flag is "backwards" on uniforms as this Youtube comment claims?
"The flag is actually supposed to be that way. The flag is placed that way on military uniforms as well. It may appear backwards to an observer but it’s showing the flag moving forward not retreating. The union (stars) are moving forward at all times towards the battle (enemy). Represents the courage of our military members."

The "backwards flag" is always on the right side of the uniform. On the left, it would be correct. The idea is indeed that the flag in motion points forward, that is the union is at the front.
Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at September 07, 2025 12:49 AM (w6EFb)
That 1853 Perry flag was indeed "backwards" pure the rules. When displayed on a wall, the union should be to the left.
The explanation about protective linen being sewn on the other side to protect that old, fragile flag is the reason. For some reason, they had to sew it on that side.
Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at September 07, 2025 12:51 AM (w6EFb)
Blonde Morticia as you know from that narration, the incredible coincidence that the Japanese foreign minister signing the surrender (Shigemetsu) was injured in the 1932 Shanghai bombing, and the Canadian who signed (Col. Musgrave) was present at that event, and came to the assistance of Shigemetsu and his delegation. Amazing.
And I'm more than willing to give Col. Musgrave a break for this signing mistake. He lost an eye in WW I, and Canada punched far far above its weight in WWII (like the entire anglospheric Commonwealth).
Besides, the whole story is amazing and as I noted, incredibly Japanese. Also - the French signer (Gen. LeClerc) must have signed on the "Dominion of Canada" line.

True for flags hung vertically, as well. Union in the upper-left, unless it's on something that moves, then union in the upper-front-side.
.....if it's on the side of whatever's moving, of course. A bumper sticker on the back of a car, or a patch on the chest of a uniform, should have the union in the upper-left, since cars don't generally roll sideways and people don't generally walk sideways.
Image search on "US flag right shoulder" will find a few military uniforms showing the "reversed" flag patch; some zoomed out far enough to show other elements that prove the whole image isn't mirrored.
An odd flag-code rule I learned the last time this came up: a flag displayed hung over a street, where neither side would be the "front" or "back" of the flag, should have the union on the north or east side. Similar for one hung in the middle of a "room" (e.g. sports stadium) with multiple entrances.

What of the German surrender, you ask? Well, their surrender(s) are not as cut-n-dry. The German forces were in disarray after Hitler kilt himself on April 30th. Hitler's "Will" left Gobbles and Admiral Dornitz in charge of all German forces. Gobbles, a crackpot fruitcake socialist, kilt himself on May 1st.
The Krauts tried to get cute and surrender, but also keep fighting.
Anyway, this excellent video explains it all much better than me.

What some perhaps didn’t know was that on the Missouri, everyone not in the audience or participating was ready to go right back to war. All the guns were manned and everything was set to go right back into action had the Japanese instead did some funny business aboard ship.
I learned that touring the Big Mo. There’s something about standing at the spot where the surrender took place, and looking ahead to the Arizona Memorial…
