Wednesday Overnight Open Thread - December 3, 2025 [Shopping Rex]

Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the post-cafe overnight variety.

Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. Good will offerings of amusing puns are happily accepted. Pants are optional. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors.

***

"Good evening Morons! Come on down! You're about to get the Wednesday night ONT!"

***

Are you looking for gift ideas for your favorite Moron? Not sure what to put on the Christmas shopping list this year?

The Wednesday ONT is here to help with the Unofficial and Unapproved 2025 Christmas Gift Guide. We hope you're whelmed.

What gifts are missing from the guide (other than ample ammo)?

***

Has your favorite Moron experienced a canoe accident? Morons seem to be particularly susceptible to suffering canoe calamities. Get them a new canoe but don't spend too much money because anything you buy is likely to encounter trouble as well.

***

The Moose out front knows a lot of things, but doesn't always tell ya what ya need to know. Either way, you're better off with a moose than not (just don't get ones that like to bite sisters).

***

Weasel-san wisdom says "no wobbly shit." Get your favorite shooting Moron a solid shooting table and accompanying bags to ward off wobbly shit.

***

If you're like me, you have trouble keeping up with the pants rules on AoS. Which posts require pants? Which prohibit pants? Which make them optional? No wonder many Morons drink. Anyway, it pays to keep a pair of pants nearby just in case.

***

Blog life can be dangerous, but we all know that medical help is nearby. Bruise? Scrape? Scope bite? Cigar burn? Headache? Broken bones? Doesn't matter. Slap a hot iron on it. Available in both cordless and cord-equipped versions.

***

Worth more than precious metal when ya gotta go. Tradable for drinks, food and the jukebox. Also can slide beneath the leg of a wobbly table in a pinch. It is...the Club ONT Restroom Token.

***

When the 39 foot animatronic T-Rex is out of stock, the next best thing is a 19 foot non-animatronic T-Rex. Not ideal, but we all have to make sacrifices when times are tough.

***

Where is that darn Wumpus? If your favorite Moron has been hunting everywhere without success and keeps being late to the ONT, help them out with back issues of Compute! Magazine for cheat codes.

***

Is your favorite mechanical Moron in need of a supply of sockets? Is the right socket size always somewhere else when needed? This Advent Calendar comes stocked with a socket (or several) a day. By the time Christmas arrives, they'll have a full set! The calendar even comes with extra 10mm sockets. This particular example came from the seconds bin which explains why it was half off.

***

Did your favorite Moron grow up thinking "When I'm older, I'm going to have a proper slingshot!" Look no further. Batteries not included.

***

With the risk of Yoko lurking beneath every link and mystery click, the only sure defense is deployment of the dark arts. This anti-Yoko cloak and specially designed ear protection is the only known anti-Yoko defense. Better results when worn together. Less powerful on Mondays for unknown reasons. Available at your favorite shops on Daigon Alley.

***

I didn't realize that ping pong had fallen out of favor. Is this what the kids do these days? Fun for the whole family!

***

Get your favorite Moron a Super secret AoS membership card to recognize their dedication to the site!

[If you are a member in good standing, a picture of your card will appear here. If not, you are behind on your dues or you have a blot on your permanent record. If that is you, please send two Club ONT Restroom Tokens by email. Allow 4-6 weeks. Nothing will happen but gotta restock the supply somehow. Thank you.]

***

After a busy overnight shift, Santa and Mrs. Claus take the elves to Waffle House or breakfast. Re-create the emotional breakfast bowl scene with your own gingerbread Waffle House.

***

Is the gift of a barrel the AoS equivalent of getting coal in your stocking? Maybe it is a good sign of enjoyed whiskey, bourbon or wine? Maybe both? Maybe you've spent time in the barrel yourself? (Note: THE barrel is far worse than the barrel depicted. Not recommended.)

***

The Pittsburgh police scanner keeps giving. Thank you people of Pittsburgh!

Life advice: don't be a traffic cone.

***

Carol of the Bells for the big ONT finish.

***

No refunds. Bulk discounts available. Previous quotes provided by autopen are null and void. Shipping and handling extra. Sorry but the vanvera and twoilet are both out of stock due to a spike in demand recently. Written correspondence can be sent to moronhobbies at protonmail dot com. Are you lurking ?? Thank you for your attention to this matter.

It's cleared up nicely outside, and I went out to look at the Moon and etc. The Cold Moon is high enough that I had to crane my neck, which reminded me this damned RA is slowly doing it's TLC on it -- I'm getting some mild early symptoms of pinched nerves, which is more annoyance.

Orion is up, with Sirius below. The Alpha Big Dog is doing it's red to green twinkling thing nicely now. And Jove is up there as well, shining quite bright. Chilly and peaceful it all was.

73 Funky. I didn't know how deep into "Our Love" New Order had got. (This is the first time I'd heard it.)
I've been in a rabbithole on early New Order lately. Apparently "Blue Monday" started as filler which they programmed after the band's actual set, so they could slip away and drink beers before going back for the encore. So, for this beat, they just filched from everything, like Donna Summer, and Kraftwerk too. It wasn't supposed to be a real song.
Eventually they'd stolen from so many other songs that nobody even noticed the Frankenstein monster of old disco b-sides and Eurotrash.
And then they released "Blue Monday" at a literal loss and everyone... kept buying the single. Cost Factory Records a fortune.

Almost certainly a replacement cord. The original would have been two rubber-insulated wires, wrapped in long-fiber asbestos, and jacketed with a woven jacket of black cotton with a hounds-tooth check pattern. I have such a cord on my grilled-cheese sammich press, which still makes awesome sammiches.

112 That pic might be AI?

Radios were interesting, everyone wants to install a polarized plug on the old school radios. Except, that’s not how it works.

For one, the chassis will be “hot”, either when the radio is ON or OFF if it is plugged in, depending on which way the plug is inserted.

No way around this unless you rewire the chassis. It will usually have a noticeable slight hum if the chassis happens to be hot when ON. Flip the plug in the outlet, and avoid using in the tub, or cement floors in your stockings.

It is a surprise to get a jolt when touching a chassis while grounded, and the device is OFF. It isn’t defective, that’s just how they made shit back then. Be careful, went the thinking

Part of my personal rehab for a broken and set right shoulder was to teach myself how to use a sling - a David sling, or Balearic sling I guess you could call it.
I was down at the river tossing as many rocks as it took to make my shoulder hurt life fire. I almost always hit the water, and the best rocks were the round or almond shaped ones, they flew the best.

I found a handful of old sparkplugs someone had tossed into the river when the water was high, and I flipped those. If you get just the right swing you can throw them in almost a spiral like with a football.

(of course if you bobble it, they keyhole and fly funny)

Arggghh. We stumbled across this just driving by. Had no idea what it was and never heard of it before. Too late in the day to get inside, but walked around all the stuff outside. Would love to get there for a proper visit. LOTS of tanks!

168 I found a handful of old sparkplugs someone had tossed into the river when the water was high, and I flipped those. If you get just the right swing you can throw them in almost a spiral like with a football.

(of course if you bobble it, they keyhole and fly funny)

I believe Weasel doctrine states that you want a 1:8 twist on your sling when using the 1500 grain spark plugs.

Dad grew up in Grandpa's gas station. Grandpa said you sell the same gasoline as the guy across the street, so walk, do not run to the island, check the fluid and tires all around, and keep the toilets clean because you make money from service.
Grandpa was really pissed about self-serve, even though he had retired years before it came to Washington.

If you find yourself near a large building labeled "museum" , take some time. Almost every one has at.least a couple of interesting item, but every once in awhile you hit a home run, like for the above.
Posted by: buddhaha at December 03, 2025 10:46 PM (3b7Tp)

Will have to check out the MV museum. I have been to the Cody Center, years ago. The Royal Tyrrell is an easy one hour drive from stately Peon Manor. Any Morons planning a summer road trip to Alaska, most likely you will be passing quite close by. I have room to park several RV's, and could rig water and electric. There is a free sani dump in town. Would be happy to take a party on a tour to Drumheller and the museum. Some interesting old coal mine sites nearby, too. And the Last Chance Saloon in Wayne is worth a visit. Eleven bridges, mostly single-lane, on a 5 mile road.

The ones in the Midwest had a big hive that was partly in the store (like a reverse bay window).

You could actually watch the bees through the glass crawling around on the honeycomb.

There was also just a little entrance hole on the exterior of the building where you could watch an endless stream of bees come and go. They were quite polite in allowing others to pass before taking their turn.

Very entertaining to a 6 y.o. boy!

My father showed me how to make what he called an "Indian sling". Maybe just a B.C. coastal thing. Get a 3 to 4 foot piece of Western red cedar, maybe random driftwood, or split off a log. Red cedar splits very easily, hence its use for roofing shakes. So you take this stick, bind it tight with twine maybe half a foot from one end, and split that end with a knife. Wedge a suitable pebble in that split (the twine binding makes it grip tightly), and make a baseball swing with the stick, ending abruptly with the stick pointed at your target. Off flies the pebble, with great force. Kind of like an atlatl; a means to extend your arm, and increase the velocity with which you can throw.

Had my MRI today; see the oncologist tomorrow, the surgeon on Monday, then on Thursday (12/11) my surgery is scheduled.

Just in time.

There appear to be some new spots in my liver; the lymph nodes still look clear, though. This means that the cancer is figuring out a way around the chemo. The doctors will be starting me on a new regimen after the surgery, in hopes that it may buy me some more time. There is currently no "cure" for this type of cancer; doctors and patients just play whack-a-mole with the beast as long as they can.

242 Radium has a sordid history. One particular huckster was selling it as a tonic, radium infused water for “health” purposes. It was kind of a fad at the time, anything with numbers - clocks, radio dials, even house address numbers, got the Radium treatment.

Thorium was used to soak lantern mantles with for brighter whiter light. Not too dangerous maybe, but in Europe the manufacturer made the lantern mantles as a side gig, their main product was Thorium toothpaste. Not too sure about that. I think they use Yttrium now for lantern mantles. I gotta say the old school Coleman Silk Lites are much, much brighter than modern mantles. Better living through Chemistry!

Probably not. If you turned out the light at 10PM, and you could still see it a 4AM, it might have been, and if it was, it was probably dangerous because almost anything they could use prior to the mid-60s was a gamma ray source.
I had a National.Semiconductor watch in the 70s that used a tritium capsule with some fluorescent material behind the display to light it. It was useful in the dark for about 7 years. I could detect a glow in a dark room 12 years later, but not good enough to read it. That was harmless because it was only a beta emitter (no gamma rays, and when it finally wore completely out, all.you had left was ordinary hydrogen.

If I change the fluid in an automatic transmission, and it lacks a drain plug, I will drill a hole and weld in a bung. Even if I fully intend to drop the pan and change the filter next go-round, it's nice to be able to drain the pan first, so I don't have to juggle with a pan full of hot oil over my head.

Chevron has pulled out and relocated to Texas. Valero is pulling out, Phillips is pulling out. Gavin can have fun blaming a bunch of companies that aren’t there anymore, because he ran them all off.

You mean they abandoned California because they don't want California to win. California is a science-based state that knows that alternative energy sources are infinite and climate change is real. Big Oil could have partnered with California to transition us to clean, efficient energy, but NO.

The one good thing is that mazda put the drain plug and the filter literally inches from each other. Makes it nice. The chevy colorado and the old roadrunner are easy. Floor jack under the K member and plenty of room to reach under.

I can't tell you how many harleys come in where it seems they screwed the filter on with an impact driver. One of my own bikes, the most recent one I got last year. Took over an hour to get the filter off. Screw driver just tore it up, channel locks crushed it. I had to removed the voltage regulator just to get into the area to get leverage. I wanted to track down the last owner and pound the mangled filter into his ass with a 2lb sledgehammer.

The same vid said that there was an existing fuel.pipeline between Tucson and El Paso, and that the cost difference between a pipeline and fuel truck was $0.005/gal/100 mi vs $0.05/gal/100 mi.

Subaru, I laugh at them, but they got the greatest filter location known to mankind. Right on top, almost like an air filter, upside down and screwed to what looks like a small aluminum dish. Any oil that leaks out goes into the dish.

On a Ram.pickup with the Cummins, even going through the wheel well, the filter has to be tipped about 60 degrees to get it out, so you always dumped oil. Somebody makes a plastic cap that screws into the filter and covers the entire top. Even if you tilt it a lot, only a drop or two escapes. Because its plastic, I imagine it'll wear out in 15 or 20 oil changes, but on the Cummins, that's about 150k miles. My neighbor has one, I'll have to find out where he got it. I've always had other work needed done so the garage has done my last 4 oil changes, but I should be doing my own next change.
You might look to see if anyone makes the same for your Ford filter.

I have to do shit like that with the harleys. The filter on most of them are in front of the engine down low right over the front motor mounts, and the filter is sideways. They make all kinds of weird tray-like gadgets that keep the oil from dripping all over the front of the motor, but they don't work. We use the heavy duty tin foil and slide it under the filter. Same with the drain plugs on a lot of the 5speed transmissions with are on the side facing out so it leaks all over the frame. Again, tin foil to the rescue, we wrap it over the frame and form it into a little chute. The oil tank drains on the softails are great, it actually has a permanent drain hose with a plug attached. Unclip the hose from the frame, out it over the pan and pull the plug.

“Every week or so, more than 100 members of the government’s sprawling national security apparatus gather, by secure video teleconference, to pore over terrorist suspects’ biographies and recommend to the president who should be the next to die.”

It was a PowerPoint death parade. The Times stressed that Obama personally selected who to kill next:

Speaking of who played what where, the character "Lily" was played by the same actress who was Bill Murray's secretary in Scrooged. I've sometimes thought of jumping from one movie to the next based on some actor in both. This would be a good time to start. 'Tis the season to watch Scrooged again.

Actually, it's playing in theater on the 16th. That's how we first saw it in first run. Where Murray breaks the 4th wall and addresses the audience actually worked pretty well in an actual theater back then. Be nice to have a good crowd to watch it on the big screen again.

376 Puddle, all the Allied powers signed the document. So the Dominion of Canada signed, but the rep (who lost an eye in WWI) signed on the line for France by mistake; I think the French rep signed on the Canada line as that seemed most logical under the circumstances.

Kase (Yoko's uncle, junior diplomat there assisting the foreign minister) noticed the error and convinced Gen. Sutherland, Mac's deputy who was running the event, to make hand corrections (he crossed out the printed country names and wrote in the ones that matched the signatures).

What's amazing and so perfectly Japanese is that the surrendering country noticed a technical imperfection and sort of insisted it be fixed - even though *they* were surrendering. Perfect.

396 BIL isn't the brightest bulb, IYKWIM.

You'd think he'd believe me, when I told him that hubby *will not get better* and *will not be moving back home* and that he cannot park his trailer in our yard.

407 Braenyard -- BIL is a hapless, 70 yr old, widowed deaf man, what never had a real job & lived on the dole all his adult life. Lives in his own 5th wheel, but can't maneuver it worth a damn. Spends winters in AZ, summers on West Coast. Thought he was already down south by now.

Dude couldn't even lift a battery into his trailer compartment this Spring-- I had to do it for him.

He's not a criminal, he's just... well, a leech. And I got more than enough to do, and more than enough to pay for, without him adding on to it all.

410 BIL was trying to weasel in here, back in May. He told hubby he'd cook & help around the house. (yeah, right!)

Let him stay a couple days, take a shower & do some laundry... he never offered to cook, but expected breakfast and lunch. Never offered to help in the yard, but expected me to help him fix his truck and trailer-- which I really didn't mind doing for him-- it's just that he (like their father) had this idea that wimmens have no *say*. And that's why he wants to speak with hubby. Thinks hubby will order me to do whatever. LOL! Not!

I am completely mystified by all of this nonsense. Everybody who grew up with an outhouse knows what a two-holer looks like, and is grateful to have one when all hell breaks loose in the various bowels involved.

Bring your own newspapers when it is cold enough to freeze your backside to the toilet seat.

Sheesh. Are you all a bunch of city-dwellers?

416 369 Obama told White House aides that it “turns out I’m really good at killing people. Didn’t know that was gonna be a strong suit of mine.”
...
It was a PowerPoint death parade. The Times stressed that Obama personally selected who to kill next:

That SCOAMF was pretty much good-for-nothing. But the media and the Left was happy with drone killings and "deporter in chief" -- when Obama was doing it

City slicker here, though I've been to outhouses and squat toilets. Don't recall if I ever ventures into a double one, though.

Anyhoo, my concept is more fun. Might also be more conducive for bowel movements.

But enough potty talk!
