Wednesday Night ONT - May 13, 2026 [TRex]

Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans. The bar is open.

Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of random 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. This is a Tucker, Candace and Megyn free zone. Please.

Will you be smarter after reading this ONT? Will you be better looking? Will you be more fun at parties? Will you lose weight? Will you be wealthier? Will you be more fashionable? If you skip the content, you'll never know!

How often does marketing transcend merely selling things and becomes entertainment? Rarely, but when it happens, it becomes a part of our common cultural fabric.

Billy Mays starts us off this evening. Wikipedia lists over 40 products that Billy pitched, but OxiClean is the most well known (which explains the cleaning products left at his headstone).

Here is an unofficial list of other Billy Mays products. Do you know or remember any? Did you buy any based on his pitch?

OxiClean - a versatile stain remover and laundry booster

Orange Glo - A wood floor cleaner and polish

Kaboom - A tile, grout, and bathroom cleaner

Zorbeez - A highly absorbent chamois-style cloth for spills and cleaning.

Mighty Putty - An epoxy putty for fixing almost anything with an "everlasting bond."

Mighty Mendit - A fabric bonding agent for quick clothing repairs without sewing

Awesome Auger - A powerful gardening/drill attachment for digging holes.

Big City Slider Station - A mini-burger press and cooker

Ding King - A DIY dent and ding remover for cars

Hercules Hook - Heavy-duty wall hooks for hanging items easily.

Impact Gel - Shock-absorbing shoe insoles

***

Billy Mays did not pitch Shamwow (Billy's product Zorbeez was similar). Shamwow was pitched by Vince Offer:

***

George Foreman tells the story of his grill. He made a lot of money.

***

Is Ron Popeil the godfather of the infomercial?

Ron was the son of inventor Samuel Popeil, creator of the Chop-o-Matic food chopper and its more famous offspring, the Veg-o-Matic food chopper and slicer.

Ron Popeil began his career in the 1950s by selling those and other kitchen gadgets in live demonstrations at retail stores and county fairs.

Contrary to what many people believe, he did not say "It slices! It dices!" in the Veg-o-Matic commercials. Where did that phrase come from? Some print ads for the Veg-o-Matic said product "slices and dices and juliennes to perfection." (No, I don't know what "juliennes" means." Maybe they know on the food thread.)

***

The interweb says the first TV infomercial in the US was arguably in 1949 when Vitamix founder W.G. "Papa" Bernard created and aired a 30-minute demonstration for the Vitamix blender. It ran on WOR-TV in New York in a late Sat/early Sun overnight time slot. It was highly successful.

Early long-form ads were limited because of strict FCC regulations from the 1950s-1960s that capped advertising time per hour and discouraged "program-length commercials" to protect the public from excessive selling.

In 1984, the FCC deregulated television advertising which kicked off the age of the infomercial. Stations could air as much commercial time as they wanted. Program-length commercials became common, especially in cheap late-night and early-morning slots. This filled unsold airtime profitably for broadcasters while giving direct-response marketers a long-form platform to demonstrate products in detail.

And now you know...

***

Susanne Somers sold the Thighmaster:

Fess up: how many of you have a Thighmaster in your attic or basement?

***

Sy Sperling: "I'm not only the hair club president, but I'm also a client."

***

Phil Swift for Flex TAPE:

***

These aren't infomercials, but I had to include the Clapper and Snuggie:

***

We could do a whole segment on QVC and HSN (someday, but not today). My favorite trivia nugget of QVC history is the fact that a young Mike Rowe got his break into TV through late night QVC.

In 1990, Rowe was an opera singer in Baltimore with no TV experience. He crashed an open audition for QVC hosts at a local hotel and was hired on the spot for the overnight shift.

Mike Rowe on QVC is stream of consciousness irreverent improv comedy. Safe to say he was unlike other QVC hosts which made him perfect for the overnight hours. He was fired and re-hired three times before leaving on his own in 1993.

***

"I can't believe they invented it!"

***

You didn't think the ONT would miss Gallagher's Sledge-O-Matic, did you?

***

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

18 Space Patrol used to advertise Wheat Chex and Rice Chex, they would have Military Test pilots from Muroc and such talk about “staying in good condition” and being sure to eat Wheat Chex and Rice Chex, too.

I think that sort of direct advertising approach was frowned upon at some point. They had a lot of Swag, too. Flashlights and Neato stuff. Being a little kid in 1950s U.S.A. must have been pretty cool.

Mercury's superior conjunction is tomorrow, and here's some SOHO images showing the little booger diving into the Sun:

Note how fast it's moving. It just so happens that this occurs close to perihelion (May 1

this time, so Mercury is really hauling ass. It will pop over the evening side of the sun and try to join the Venus-Jupiter conjunction, but we likely won't be able to see it as it will be too low on the horizon.

50 From Wikipedia:

Julienne, allumette, or French cut is a culinary knife cut in which the food item is cut into long thin strips, similar to matchsticks. Common items to be julienned are carrots for carrots julienne, celery for céléris remoulade, potatoes for julienne fries, or cucumbers for naengmyeon. Trimming the ends of the vegetable and the edges to make four straight sides makes it easier to produce a uniform cut. A uniform size and shape ensures that each piece cooks evenly and at the same rate.…

81 Regarding those garbage kid cereals -

"Dr." John Kellogg was into extreme enemas and colon obsession: He believed most diseases stemmed from a "dirty colon" and "auto-intoxication." The sanitarium had an "enema room" with machines delivering up to 15 quarts (about 14 liters) of water per minute. He pushed for 4+ bowel movements daily, yogurt drinks, and even yogurt enemas.

Not near as much fun as Jell-o wrestling or Mazzola parties though.

Ron missed the boat on that one. There was a Cleveland late night horror movie show that was hosted by "Big Chuck and Little John" maybe in the 80's. Little John was a midget. One of their skits was a take off of Janitor in a Can with Big Chuck wheeling out a 55 gal drum and Little John popping out of it with a broom.

Ron P - similarly, the Pocket Fisherman should have have a little dude pop out of your pocket with a short spinning outfit.

91 You'd think they were among the superwealthy, but most of the royals are comically impecunious. This, coupled with low intelligence and lack of business sense, is how they end up courting people like Epstein and Arab thugs.

Entailed estates where the real estate goes with the title and can't in some cases be used as collateral for loans. King/Queen and Prince of Wales have substantial wealth tied to their estate earnings (a big chunk of London for example provides rental earnings to the King/Queen) but a lot of Earls from ancient families with large estates are probably wealthier than the lesser royals like Edward and his clan.

Working royals of which the list is shrinking, get official protection paid for by the crown and I think the King gets an allowance from Parliament (or did) to help offset personnel costs to run the palaces.

Douglas had four wives and was pretty much an unsociable, lazy, and a general PITA to his fellow justices and insisted after he resigned that he could take senior status. He tried to get his clerks reassigned to him and tried to sit in on the hearing of Gregg v. Georgia. It took all eight other justices backing CJ Burger excluding Douglas from any access to Scotus for Douglas to finally realize his career was over.

While royal properties have security, only Chuck, Camilla, William, Kate, George, Charlotte, and Louis get 24/7 personal security. The other working royals get personal security when they are doing engagements, otherwise they don't have any. So when Harry and Meghan complain that they should have full-time security paid for by the British government, they are demanding a special security status that is better than the relatives who actually perform royal duties.

Another “live ghost” was apparently Admiral Richard Byrd, the famous polar explorer.

For some reason he had an office at the old DC Post Office building, which many many years later was used by the Fibbies for telephone surveillance.

Guards, color coded entry passes, nothing seemed to stop him from wandering where he had no right to be. The agents would look up and there was Admiral Byrd. They figured he was just lonely and wanted to talk. They finally got him evicted, and then they sort of missed the old bastard.

You have more of the specifics than I and I think you are correct. The Queen and now the King have been paring back royal expenses on the taxpayers for years now fearing to be seen as expensive welfare ornaments of the state.

Visible security used to be a lot higher for the royals back in the time where Princess Anne was nearly abducted and the IRA was running around committing terrorism. Course, it is also a task for MI-5 and 6 to keep tabs on the royals as terrorist targets and their loyalty oath is specifically to the Crown.

It is not clear yet exactly how much sway the King/Queen still retains with the security services but it is probably higher than any other department in government. The people that know aren't talking.

There was a lot going on with that, the legal fight about it went on for years; the case was legendary in Texas legal circles. I suspect the old man did it not just for fun but also to screw with his son. His son was incredibly pissed off about this and sued the old man to try to stop it. He made it clear that he just wanted the old man to go to a nursing home and sit in a corner til he died, which makes me feel a lot more sympathetic towards the old man who wanted to buy himself a big boobied stripper.

This case went on so long that the old man died, and then Nicole died, and just when he was about to win the son died of a heart attack. (Reminiscent of Bleak House; everyone who began the case was dead by the time it ended)

The heir to the estate ended up being a 2 year old infant child of Anna Nicole. I imagine the managers of it have been living the high life for the 19 years since.

Went to a very nice restaurant with Mrs. BD here in Jerusalem the other night. My tuna steak was served with an unusual side of julienne fried potatoes.

Now, I haven't eaten potato sticks for decades. But the packaged ones aren't hot out of the deep fryer like these. Surprisingly yummy and fun to eat!

164 I grew up in Chicago in the 1950s and 60s, and there the best-known pitchman was Lynn Burton. He worked a lot on live TV in the 1950s. Legend has it that once when he was demoing a wringer-washer, the wringer caught hold of his tie and started reeling him in. Professional that he was, he kept the spiel going while groping for the wringer's release, and triggering it just before the wringer broke his neck. Anyone who watched late-night TV in Chicago in that era will remember his pitches for Bert Weinman Ford - "3535 NORTH on Ashland Avenue!" One of the greats!

194 The reason that Wallace was replaced is that the old line Democrats thought Wallace was a socialist and how much they knew of the Venona Papers or not, Wallace's office was a center of leftist aides and his very vocal pro Commie Russia stance made a lot of the more conservative Southern Democrats queasy. Then, there was also the race issue that led Dixiecrat Strom Thurmond to later run in 1948 as an independent for president.

It's a great story. The kid flunked out of UNC, his mother told him that if he wasn't going to be in school, then he was going to work. Having been rejected by the Army (flat feet), he went looking for work.

As fate would have it, he was at the U.S. Employment Office while an Army lieutenant was there with a quota for clerk positions. Asked if he might be interested in cryptography, Phillips showed enthusiasm. So, it was off to Arlington Hall and the SIS.

Yeah. Except they didn't absorb much milk. And didn't matter how much sugar you put on, it would just sink to the bottom of bowl. Crunch crunch crunch, and then swill the milk-syrup afterward.

As I have alluded many times there is no reason for the same exact message to be pumped out on every single story every single time UNLESS you are attempting to manipulate the populace. What a waste if you just wanted your followers to be able to win internet arguments, or previously, misinform them for bar conversations.

I've watched the psy ops in real time. They are definitely real. They didn't tear a relatively racially harmonious country apart at the racial seams over the course of like 7 years by accident. And the race psy op was of course just one of many.

Hell, we are all subjected to it ourselves. The stories ace posts are routinely the shit they want us talking about. A year or so ago it was all tranny all the time. Now it's muslims and jew hate. In the not too distant future it will be Medical Assistance in Dying.
