Saturday Night "Club ONT" October 25, 2025 [The 3 Ds]
Saturday Night Jokes and Other Funnies As Mr. Smith was on his death bed, he attempted to formulate a plan that would allow him to take at least some of his considerable wealth with him. He called for the three men he trusted most - his lawyer, his doctor, and his clergyman. He told them, "I'm going to give you each $30,000 in cash before I die. At my funeral, I want you to place the money in my coffin so that I can try to take it with me." All three agreed to do this and were given the money. At the funeral, each approached the coffin in turn and placed an envelope inside. While riding in the limousine to the cemetery, the clergyman said "I have to confess something to you fellows. Brother Smith was a good churchman all his life, and I know he would have wanted me to do this. The church needed a new baptistery very badly, and I took $10,000 of the money he gave me and bought one. I only put $20,000 in the coffin." The physician then said, "Well, since we're confiding in one another, I might as well tell you that I didn’t put the full $30,000 in the coffin either. Smith had a disease that could have been diagnosed sooner if I had this very new machine, but the machine cost $20,000 and I couldn't afford it then. I used $20,000 of the money to buy the machine so that I might be able to save another patient. I know that Smith would have wanted me to do that." The lawyer then said, "I'm ashamed of both of you. When I saw you'd underpaid, I took your money out of the coffin and left a personal check for the full amount. Reverend, you owe me $10,000, and Doctor, you owe me $20,000."
Drink of the Night Apple Cider Old Fashioned
Ingredients*** 1920 - 1933. Dark days in America, the 21st. Is there anything a note from your doctor cannot do? Churchill found a way to solve the riddle.
2 ounces apple cider
2 ounces good quality bourbon or whiskey
1 teaspoon maple syrup
3 drops of bitters
1 apple slice for garnish
1 orange slice for garnish
Cinnamon stick for garnish optional Instructions
In a lowball glass, stir together the apple cider, whiskey, maple syrup and bitters until combined. Add in a large ice cube and top with an apple and orange slice and a cinnamon stick.
After being struck by a vehicle while crossing Fifth Avenue in New York City, Churchill experienced great pain, for which his doctor conveniently prescribed alcohol as a treatment — though it was likely Churchill himself who requested this specific “medicine.” Otto C. Pickhardt, M.D., wrote, “Churchill necessitates the use of alcoholic spirits especially at meal times,” thus permitting the future prime minister to skirt the law during his stateside visits. Pickhardt described the dosage as “naturally indefinite,” but no less than “250 cubic centimeters” of hooch.*** Booze as a prescription? Well, yes.
Congress did write safeguards into the law. It dictated that patients couldn’t obtain more than a pint of “spirituous liquor” every ten days, and that prescriptions couldn’t be filled more than once. Prohibitionists successfully pushed for even more restrictions, too. The 1921 Willis-Campbell Act (colloquially known as the Emergency Beer Bill) banned prescriptions of beer. It also lowered the cap on alcohol per prescription (from a pint to a half-pint) and limited physicians to 100 prescriptions every 90 days. Following the bill’s passage, doctors typically wrote a script every ten days for a half pint of alcohol.
Club ONT Gaming Department This addictive game is like "SimCity" but for transit nerds
A new simulation game called Subway Builder lets you design, build, and operate subway systems in 26 U.S. cities, from New York to Boston to San Francisco. The game uses real-life U.S. Census Bureau and employment data to map where residents and workers live, allowing you to simulate realistic passenger flows. Players must also contend with real-world constraints like tunnels, viaducts, existing foundations, and road layouts.
"I would secretly hope that maybe someone in power sees this and says 'Maybe we can build something like this,' says Colin Miller, a software engineer and creator of the game.Sounds promising! Tell me more...
Subway Builder bills itself as hyperrealistic, but there are two key exceptions: politics and budgeting. Miller says he did not take into account the political will in any given U.S. city, nor did he calibrate the game's budget to U.S. infrastructure costs. Instead, he used Spanish construction costs, which are among the lowest in the world. (Madrid, for example, tripled its metro network in just 12 years.) "If I had it set to realistic American construction prices, it would have made the game unplayable because you’d run out of money," he concedes.Oh. Nevermind.
Club ONT Music It's a crazy kind of night!
Top 10ish Comments of the Week
Club ONT was brought to you by: The otters. They're back.
Sun and a Surfboard Crime.The otters are at it again! A surfer at Steamer Lane was bitten on the foot by a sea otter (definitely not Steve) who then stole her board for 20 minutes. Officials aren’t sure if it’s the infamous Otter 841 or a bold copycat, either way, the legend continues 🦦 pic.twitter.com/pkynbG73Do
— In Otter News.... (@In_Otter_News2) October 17, 2025
Others believe the recent incidents may be copycat crimes by other otters who witnessed Otter 841’s antics, or just the antics of animals that are partly curious and partly annoyed at the encroachment on their territory.
NOTICE: Tours of Club ONT are temporarily paused while the east wing of the Club undergoes renovation. The east entrance is not original to Club ONT, so don't worry about historical significance. Plans are underway to replace it with a magnificent ballroom and updated defense bunker in the basement. The project is being funded by generous donors which means no increases to drink prices for patrons of Club ONT. Make Club ONT Great Again!

Best of Breed for The Big Dummy at today's Travis County KC show. Not a huge win, but good for three Grand Champion points, putting him over the 400 he needs to become Gold level. He may now be styled GCHG Envious As We Fall.
Considering 5 points is the most given at a show, it's a tribute to The Big Dummy's quality and staying power. Well done, you silly dope!

The military used to shove a flu "vaccine" up my nose every fall, and it immediately created a sinus infection.
After a while, I took some Claritin with it, which reduced the severity.
My last year I was asked to take it and said "Eh, no," since I was being kicked out for the Covid vaccine anyway. Haven't bothered since, and I enjoy my lack of a fall sinus infection.

Had a LONG time family Old School Doc until he retired Four years ago... I had actually done all the IT work for his office... knew our family well.
You are supposed to get a Doctors order before you have a 'Service Animal'... which here in Clownifornia can be an 'emotional support' animal... meaning they make you feel safe.
Asked him for an order for an Emotional Support GUN... because it makes me feel safer when carrying....
At first he looked at me like I was Cray Cray... then got a thoughtful look... then.... 'are you serious?'...
Loved that Doc. Only one I've trusted in decades.

The whistleblower has been with USAA for well over a decade and describes "the gradual downfall of the USAA military culture and erosion of FTE and customer support in lieu of ESG and DEI policy adherence." He provides several pictures of USAA's 2015 Christmas party and last year's Christmas party (I will not repost them to protect the individual's anonymity). In 2015, the majority of USAA employees were Americans; now, 70 percent or more of USAA's employees are foreign-born Indians.

Chinese guy says impressive but neither of you know how this is done. Come to China and I’ll show you.
So they arrive in rural China middle of nowhere. Chinese guy says you see that 10 lane expressway over there that cost $5B to build? Italian and Russian look around but see nothing. Italian says sorry minster but we don’t see anything but farmland. Chinese guy says, “exactly”.

Just finished a re-watch of the 1986 Michael Mann thriller Manhunter, based on Thomas Harris's first novel about Hannibal Lecter, Red Dragon. They didn't name the film after the novel because there had been other films in the last couple of years with "dragon" in the title, and they didn't want audiences to think they were getting a Kung Fu flick.
Anyway, it's a good adaptation, a couple of subplots cut out (for time, no doubt), and fantastic casting. Brian Cox -- mentioned in the Movie Thread just now -- plays Lecter (spelled "Lecktor" here for some reason) rather like a well-educated thug, quite unlike Anthony Hopkins' rather urbane Lecter. Can you imagine AH's Lecter chewing a stick of Wrigley's Spearmint gum, as Cox's does? I can't.

What is interesting is that different apples have different cider flavors. I have been pressing gravensteins for years, but my niece has a red delicious.

It's a very "MTV" sort of film, with the visuals and the music all reminding you of that channel's first decade, and of Miami Vice, Mann's other big hit. That's not to say it's frivolous.

House of Svengoolie is showing Return of the Fly, the B & W sequel to the Vincent Price original . . . which was in color, despite what a lot of us "remember." My memories of the film include the B & W stills printed in Famous Monsters magazine. Naturally I tend to think the original 1958 movie was in B & W. And Price is in Return, too, so that confuses the issue.

He spies one of those big boat planes that land on the water, a PBY or whatever, and he starts talking to the pilot, “a man of some quality” and whether it has the range. Sure does. So against a lot of advice, he flies back across the Atlantic. Even takes the controls for a bit.
Later, the navigation isn’t quite what it should have been, and they end up flying over/into France and showing up on enemy radar. Came really close to getting shot down. Oops

Felt the best I had in years (the 20s work long hours/go out after/workout on weekends thing leaves you always a bit tired).

"The Alien and Sedition Acts were a set of four laws passed by the U.S. Congress in 1798, primarily aimed at suppressing political dissent during the Quasi-War with France. The Alien Acts increased the residency requirement for citizenship to 14 years and gave the President power to deport non-citizens considered dangerous. The Sedition Act criminalized "false, scandalous, and malicious writing" against the government, targeting critics, particularly Democratic-Republicans, and leading to the prosecution of newspaper editors and political figures. "

Cell-tower records cited in the filing show his phone connected to an Israeli network near Kfar Aza at 10:01 a.m. on October 7, 2023, placing him inside Israel during the attack.

What is interesting is that different apples have different cider flavors. I have been pressing gravensteins for years, but my niece has a red delicious. I have taken some grafts from roadside trees because I liked the combination of tannin and sweet they have and should I ever get apples off them I think they will be fantastic cider, and maybe hard cider
Posted by: Kindltot at October 25, 2025 11:09 PM (rbvCR)
I've had some success pitching champagne yeast with hard pear cider (my personal favorite) as well as trying to make an apple wine (I didn't add enough extra sugar to get the ABV right or the yeast failed before getting there...I didn't have a way to know). I want to try it with a ruby red grapefruit juice cider- I think it may work there better than for apple cider.

Craft cider here is dwarfed by the enormous craft beer scene, weirdly biggest in the country ("it's the water"). But there is one, Newtopia, that has a very nice dry cider (Soiree, they call it). Their place is right across the 15 from MCAS Miramar. There's another cidery pretty close to me I have yet to try, but they've been there for 8 years so must be OK.
Final niche craft booze segment here is mead. Think there are two distilleries. Only time I've had mead - well, something like it - was in the kremlin of the old city in Novgorod, a zillion years ago. They called it "myed kvas", so might have just been sweet kvas, which does not use fruit or honey normally (I think).

I don't even know where to find bitter pears, though I bet they'd make great cider. I use table pears and, like apples, ideally a mix of different varieties (plus wine tannins). If my schemes work out, I can tell you what a mix of Bartlett/Honeysweet/Comice pear cider tastes like in a few years.
I know there are parts of the country where you can get varietal apple juices to mix and make ciders, but I've never seen a varietal listed for any pear juice I've seen.

Years later, traveling with a boss at the dawn of perestroika, I made sure we ate at the first private restaurant in Moscow, 37 Kropotinskaya (?). Was quite good, lots of smoked fish, meats, and cheese, even vegetables. I gave the boss my caviar (lunch and dinner) at the National Hotel where we stayed, don't care for it, he loved it (and he knew caviar).

Mama's lung function appears to be improving, keep your fingers crossed. Her O2 saturation keeps up in the low 90s upon exertion. Before, even with 3L/min, it would drop below 90% with exertion. For a while, I'd turn it up to 4.5L when she had to go to the bathroom or move around.
The first night or two, she yanked out her canula and I didn't see it for a few minutes. Just sitting there on room air, O2 dropped to 77%, giving me a near heart attack.

I have in my possession the red oak porch swing that belonged to my Dad's parents. Rather, I have the back portion of it, as the seat portion has succumbed to rot from having been out in the weather for four decades.
I am faced with the question of whether to recreate said seat or consign what's left of the whole thing to the flames. It is going to come down to whether any of my three nieces wants it or not.

Too hard to get out from after some PBR and Mother Gaia calls.
Not ergonomically favorable to the human body.
You can get regular lawn chairs at yard sales, or if you got the money, Walmart.

One summer my sister and I were sitting in Adirondack chairs at the camp. I mentioned that my boss (I worked in maintenance, she worked in the dining hall), who had served in the Philippines during WWII, had remarked earlier that day to me that she "walked like a Filipino". I had no idea what that was supposed to mean and did not ask him, as he usually was hung over or drunk most of the time.
"What the hell was that supposed to mean?" she asked me. "I have no idea -- ask him that yourself."
She declined the opportunity and now we'll both never know.

I have several lawn chairs. Obtained at yard sales mostly, a couple pairs were rescued from an apartment complex's dumpster as bare frames.
Wally world had a close-out on re-webbing kits, back in the day.. Oh Happy Day! 25 cents a pack! (Best $15 I ever spent & wiped out their whole supply!) Takes 2 packs to do one chair, 3 for a chaise-lounge.
Picked up 2 chaise-lounge frames at a yard sale for $5-- for both! Sweet deal.
It's time to re-web everything again, but I still have plenty of material.

Re-installing new webbing on a lawn chair is a pleasant enough exercise to perform during a mild autumn afternoon. I've done it several times.

We possessed more than one such chair. Artisanal. Hand crafted. Solid polished aluminium frames. They gleamed in the summer sun! Priceless works of art, mind you!

Something that made me laugh--put a couple items out to the curb and as with all such they disappeared. This is handy because it saves on trips to the recycle station. The laugh part came after cruising by a yard sale--a cottage industry up here--and seeing an item I remembered having curbed. So now I know how the yard sale kings get inventory after doing some unobtrusive research.

Years ago, the guys renting a house realized that we had an excess of sofas. Interesting after a good party to wake up and find them all occupied by inert life forms.
Still, tried to give one away. No dice.
I suggested "put a For Sale-$50" sign on it, and move it to the street when it didn't look like rain.

Bulbs-- such happy little promises of beauty to come. I didn't put any new ones in this year, but only because there's no room right now. Got a whole new area to clean out, after having a dead tree removed, which will be a perfect spot for new bulbs...next season.

And we can relax. The Erf's rotation speed up appears to have settled down for now. DUT1 has topped out It's going to hold its own for now, averaging almost dead on 24 hours for a couple months. It will slow down a bit starting in Feb, bottom out in late May, then go on another fast tear.
https://is.gd/I4MaDb
Those year-out predictions are basically crap. Well not crap, but the uncertainty gets pretty large. Anyway, if this two-steps forward and one step back behavior over the year continues, a negative leap second by 2029 looks likely.
I'm going to really get a kick of that if it happens. It may rival Y2K in hype and perhaps effect.

Hearing aids suck. Not anywhere close to having one's natural ability back. I still wouldn't change anything, though.

In a noisy environment, wear earplugs. Not to cancel all the noise! Rather, use them to filter out the loudest sounds, and you can actually *better* hear people talking. I was a waitress, working in a very loud military lounge at the time... it freaking WORKS!

Loved playing a two-card game in high school with buddies called "Guts" where losers would have to match the pot. Ties were wonderful, as two or more players would have to match to pot.
We played with nickels, dimes, and quarters -- and sometimes the pots would get up to $20, $30, or $40, astronomical for mid-teenagers.
I grew up in Las Vegas (because of course I did) and became a card-counter in BlackJack and got to the final (
table in the first two Hold 'Em Poker tournaments I entered.
Ugh, a very destructive habit -- and getting the hell out of that place in the late 80's (for personal reasons more than gambling) saved my life. Like Phoneix (a couple hours south of my and around which I worked in Scottsdale for 8 months on a contract in 1993) -- I don't even recognize that city now ...
