Wednesday Night ONT - May 20, 2026 [TRex]

Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans. This will be a colorful ONT. 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 and are eligible for comment of the week consideration. Pants are optional (but pants or the lack of pants has no role in comment of the week consideration). Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors (being nice has an impact on comment of the week consideration). This is a Tucker, Candace, Megyn and Bill Kristol free zone. Please (violations definitely impact comment of the week consideration).

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!

This seems to miss the point (presuming there is any point to naming a "Color of the Year).

Introducing Pantone Color of the Year 2026, PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer, a lofty white that serves as a symbol of calming influence in a society rediscovering the value of quiet reflection. A billowy white imbued with serenity, PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer encourages true relaxation and focus, allowing the mind to wander and creativity to breathe, making room for innovation.

No offense to "Cloud Dancer," but with all the possibilities and candidates, the color of the YEAR perhaps could involve something with...more color? This must be a troll or a practical joke, right?

Maybe Leatrice Eiseman, the Executive Director, Pantone Color Institute explains:

At this time of transformation, when we are reimagining our future and our place in the world, PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer is a discrete white hue offering a promise of clarity. The cacophony that surrounds us has become overwhelming, making it harder to hear the voices of our inner selves. A conscious statement of simplification, Cloud Dancer enhances our focus, providing release from the distraction of external influences.

Nope.

Playdough is going to make a special edition to showcase the "color." I think. I'm not sure whether they're kidding or not. Does it matter?

Got money? Buying a new Porsche? Want something beyond standard colors? You can choose from over 230 colors from the "Paint to Sample" program. Think an extra $13,000 or so (availability varies by model).

If you really want to spend money and want Porsche to paint your car with a specific custom color, they will do it for a prices that start at around $30,000. The more bespoke, the more expensive. It is a shockingly popular (and profitable) program but the truth is that Porsche doesn't love it because anything custom requires exceptions from the usual production line process. The pricing is partially to discourage people (in other words, extracting money from people who really, really want it and are willing to pay). Some are willing to pay because it makes their car unique - no other cars in the world will have the same color.

The department that takes on truly custom jobs used to be known as "special wishes" or "Sonderwunsch."

For America, the theft of an election gave Trump time to think and plan. He used that time well.

So Obama made Trump run. Hillary fumbled and let him win, then the American people rose up and elected Trump a third time.

Why wouldn't you just buy it in some basic white-ish color and then take it to any good paint shop? They'll do any damn thing you want for a fraction of that.

Maybe I’m just tired and overly-sensitive at this point. But choosing white as the color of the year while white supremacists are hard-launching fascism in the US (and abroad tbf) feels so gross to me.

TizzyBumblefluff 383 points 12/4/2025, 11:07:33 PM

Did you know that the rise of monotone in design/art increased significantly during the rise of Hitler and fascism? We’ve had millennial grey, then a few black things were popping up, now white. Just an observation.

TizzyBumblefluff 12/4/2025, 11:25:01 PM

Women wore bright red lipstick to symbolise their fight against fascism, so: yes.

I guess no one tell these idiots how popular Der Fuhrer was with German women? I love how the Left just makes history into anything they want it to be. How often do you see pictures of crowds of Nazi women cheering him? Battle of Britain has a good scene but that's the UK for you.

There are, absolutely, no jelly beans in that jar. That is a traditional Irish Trophy jar found in Nephin Beg mountain range in County Mayo. You'll find it in Wild Nephin Ballycroy National Park.

Under sworn oath of the family crest, generational residents in this area of Ireland hunt Leprechauns. The honor of the family is based on successful hunts, so a trophy jar became the common display of prowess.

In that jar are Leprechaun testicles.

A Canadian by way of New Zealand, her big hit was "We'll Sing in the Sunshine" from 1965, which beat out Dylan for Folk Grammy that year.

Wonderful alto voice and she was quite pretty, which always helps. Kind of left music in the 80s, but became a successful novelist. A cool lady who should have had bigger stardom.

I'm pretty sure those are not written by people who actually rely on tips for income but by people who need you to know that they are better than you. If all of us who can't/won't tip 40% were to actually stay home, there aren't nearly enough others to make up the difference. Businesses will close and the (former) workers will get 0%.

260 Wild thing, you make my heart sing, TRex.

Thanks for the colorful ONT. The Jellybean song was even before my time. I'd been hatched but had better things to do than rock out, age 3yrs. I had a record player, however, and my brother and I played Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier often. And others that my mother probably let someone rip us off from the attic a few years ago. Worth a billion or so.

I "won" a little record at the school Halloween bazarre/bizarre. It was called "From a Jack to a Queen" and I used to dance to it sometimes.

My childhood was often dangerous as I once singed my starched petticoat backing up to the gas heater to warm up my behind. I told my Daddy that I was "hotting up." It was winter in an old house with 14' ceilings. I think it was worth it. If you didn't wear starched petticoats you missed out. Yes, I realize this dates me to the Civil War Era.

That Cloud Dancer color is lame except for trim or maybe the exterior of a house. I disagree with Leatrice the Executive Director as I personally like cacophony sometimes, and the Pittsburgh Scanner people.

286 Jim Morrison's songs are growing on me as some favorites on my playlist. He was crazy as he could be and messed up from his pedo father.

I read a story last year about him now being dead but not dying and buried in Paris. He was old and living in NH and a photo of him being old with a scar where his facial mole was looked real. And if anyone knows facial moles and remembers it is me, the resident dermatologist of AOS.

My favorite song of his is Wild Night. LOVE IT!

Man, dance to the downbeat and saxophone, y'all! Also love Tupelo Honey, being from MS and my people are from up there.

294 Remember when Pepto Bismol pink was a car color for a short time? '70s, I think.

I guess they figured out that a color that reminds people of vomiting might not have been the best idea.

You have to wonder who bought those. Obviously people from families where Pepto wasn't the go-to for any kind of digestive complaint.

In my family, if it couldn't be fixed with Pepto-Bismol or Vicks Vap-O-Rub, it was time to call the ambulance or undertaker, depending.

Undoubtedly too late to have been arsenic compounds, which make for some spectacular colors, particularly green ("Paris green").

There are 19th Century books where librarians and museum folks have to wear hazmat gear to handle them... I guess it's not just toxic when it's new, but becomes more so over time as it breaks down and releases the arsenic.

A handsome blond guy drove up with a chick (he looked familiar but I could not place him. Brit accent). He was driving an antique British Racing Green Jaguar XK120 convertible. Impressed him that I knew the color name.

His gf left to go get take out and masks off we chatted. He'd had that car shipped there from a few hours away (I guess to protect it). I said, heck, I would have driven the entire way in it as I am a redneck from Mississippi. He laughed and probably wished I wasn't a decade or two older and with my grandson.

Just did a quick search and found this:

California has banned the use of hexavalent chromium and cadmium in vehicle coatings (paints and platings) due to their high carcinogenicity. This restriction targets specific toxic chemical components used in the manufacturing process of certain metallic finishes, rather than the color green itself. Metallic green paint is legal to use and sell in California provided it does not contain these banned hazardous substances.

My friend met John Amos in a bar on Catalina Island. He had a sail boat that was a replica pirate ship. He needed an extra hand so he could take it down to Long Beach. Friend had a prior commitment for the next day, but Amos assured him that he'd get him back up to LA.

As they were approaching the landing at Long Beach, they struck a sand bar and couldn't get loose. My friend was technically at the helm. Coast Guard had to pull them off. They asked who was piloting, and John sheepishly pointed to my friend, while on the phone with his girlfriend who had forbid him from taking the ship out in the first place. Anyway, my friend was not in trouble, and John got him back up to LA for his appointment.

A yeah later, my friend gets a phone call. John got the ship repaired and painted and invited my friend to meet him for a shakedown cruise. He demurred...

Paint is stooopid money. Some basic reds are $300 a quart. I use to paint a lot, mostly custom harley stuff. I won't go near it now, just my own stuff. One of my recent customers painted his bike the color of my mazda 6, that soul red color. It was $1000 just for the paint to do a harley. 2 fenders, gas tank, saddle bags...$1000 in materials.

384 Trying to train myself to go to bed early after my 2am bedtime of disease last week. I still got the days mixed up today and thought it was Tuesday. Dang it all. Leaving on a jet plan Saturday for NOLA and need to get it together to see my Mama.

My first car in 1970 was a'62 Pontiac Tempest. Daddy had it painted in the metallic baby blue I chose. A year or so later totaled it from a broken axle avoiding a 13yr old redneck running a stop light out in the boonies.

Freaked out my father as his mechanic friend said it was a miracle the car did not flip as I drove it in and out of a gulley to avoid collision.
He bought me a 1yr old green Impala with gold interior (I have green eyes and am blonde so a good match). She could fly. Loved that car but too big for snow and he said I could not take it West, thinking he'd seal the deal of me leaving. Didn't work.

I adored my father and still miss him. Great man. Altho he bought my brothers Camaros. I guess he knew my lead foot and wanted me in a big car.

I was married before he told my husband he put a governor on the old Tempest (guv'na). I just thought it was old and would not go more than 55mph.

Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.

Well he wasn’t wrong about that. He was taught to hate whites, among other things.

Part of the problem, younger people usually have no base of experience to draw, logical fallacies and rhetoric are foreign. Any halfway competent debate team member would have these “teachers” stroking out in front of the class in about 5 minutes.

Bawney Fwank had a funny mouth and talked sort of funny. Ol' Ann had a similar mouth thing, but it wasn't quite as bad. We used to have fun with that -- this is sending me down memory lane to the '90s.

God, I remember Bawney making an ass of himself when Newt and the boys took over in '92. The game was just to make total asses of themselves and disrupt everything (sounds familiar) and keep the Repubs from doing anything.

The chairman of whatever committee Barney was the ranking member, ol' Jim Leech used to piss me off. Bawney would be having a hissy fit, disrupting the whole damned hearing, while Leech would just sit there with a constipated look gently banging his gavel, saying "The gentleman will suspend.

The transmissions were the same as their manufacturers' other offerings; they just replaced the mechanical linkage from the shift lever to the manual valve lever on the side of the transmission case with electic servos, or in some cases, push-pull cables to rack the manual valve around. But you could still select "Drive", and let the transmission shift itself.

My bf/husband courted me in one of these fine jalopies. '62 Lancer, aqua hood from a wreck, rust spot in the back flooring and you could see the road, and a rusted coathanger for the antenna. Bucket seats, man. I had no idea what on earth this car was when he drove up and I was on the front porch smiling. He thought the smile was for him, he said. Well, sort of, but also wth is this car?

He was also quite poor on an orderly salary and not yet back in the university. Handsome, kind and funny and I saw something in him.

I was asked out by doctors, but they were older and did not party and that was my goal on my off days (which is rather pathetic to admit).

An anesthesia guy had his eye on me and gave me a ride from the bus stop in his gold Porche (after I glared at him for honking at me). Separated, though, and I said no to that deal. He also had a wandering eye I noted after a heart surgery I attended as a student nerd. One minute flirting like mad with me, the next minute eyeing a cute little ICU nurse who was new.

Bucket seats, man. I had no idea what on earth this car was when he drove up and I was on the front porch smiling. He thought the smile was for him, he said. Well, sort of, but also wth is this car?

As we speak there is a 1962 dodge lancer GT in green color sitting in the overflow parking area of my driveway. Its been there 2 years. I let a freind who owns the car work on it here, because he can't where he lives. He's making a street rod out of it, and unfortunately I don't think he will live long enough to finish it. He's in the hospital and it don't look good. I started calling the car the Doom Pickle, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to end up with it. It is one odd ass looking car.

I think norovirus. Apparently only for females this time as our guys were all fine. Baby harfed all over me one afternoon. Days late the 5yr old and DIL. No males got it.

I don't harf hardly ever in my entire life and I think this made it worse or it mutated into cholera (I made that part up but did think of it at times).

I thought of a lot of things as I isolated from my dude for almost 5 days, fearing he'd get it and I was dramatic enough alone in thoughts of wanting opium. He brought fluids to the closed bedroom doors and checked to see if I was alive now and then. Me and my laptop, books and phone.

No real fever or pain, just a lot of natural colonoscopy prep for days. Abdominal noises I did not know were possible for humans.

There's a really great Pedialyte now that is clear and fruit flavored if I do this again. Which is only twice a century so I think I'm good.

Indeed...so imagine the self-esteem my dude had to drive up to my castle for our first date!

He drove that car like it had 4-wheel drive, over deserts, large rocks in mountains, snow. Sold it 4yrs later for more money than he paid for it.

I once had it while he worked and my brother was visiting me one winter. We were a bit lit to start with and went to a drive up window for burgers. I managed to hit a wooden fence as we left and scrape it along as we laughed and did not care.

Had to park to finish laughing as that is how my bro and I were from his birth. Often hysterical. Told my bf the next day, but at that point what was one more scratch?

I bought some electrolyte powder called Skratch on Amazon and you can mix it with anything. I like it better than any of the packaged drinks. You can even get one that doesn't have any artificial sweetener in it. The one with sugar tastes great but it's sweet so you have to water down what you're putting it in.

This house...this frigging house when I moved in had color. Oh it had color. The colors that would make you want to go on a 3 state killing spree. The kitchen is large, pretty much in the center of the house. You walk in the front door, there is a foyer, and you see the kitchen ahead, it has a vaulted ceiling, 13.5 feet high, the is a hallway the runs to the left off the kitchen, and another that runs to the right. ALL of it, was pumpkin orange. 13.5 foot high wall of pumpkin fucking orange aomg with the foyer and the hallways. the family room looked like a vintage McDonalds. 2 walls yellow, 2 walls red, white ceiling. It has a full cathedral ceiling, so you can enjoy TWO 13.5 foot high walls of that miserable yellow. the spare bedroom, was UPS brown. The master bedroom had 2 wall periwinkle and 2 walls lime green. I wanted to burn it down to the foundation. I had my brother's painters come in and do the rooms with the high ceilings immediately, and I painted the rest of the house within a week.

476 Interesting. Nobody ran for the Republican nomination for PA-3, because its Cook Partisan Voter Index is D+40, so Crazy Chris Rabb will be unopposed in the general. However, since it's one of the most extreme districts in the country, his victory does not signal a broader trend -- and a good thing too, since he's a wacky conspiracy theorist who claimed that the Bondi Beach Massacre was a Zionist false flag.

All it means is that the (D) base is degenerate and depraved, and a district exists where they can be repulsive to normies and still win. But if Republicans elsewhere are able to draw attention to the disturbing nutter, Rabb could hurt Democrats in other races all across the country.

Yes, all the crap I ripped out over the years was still working. My mother's "Kitchen aid by Hobart" dishwasher was still working when she redid her kitchen again in the later 90's, so was the stove.

486 Colored appliances. Meh. Too many choices and then... one changes one's mind re: the decor.

This is why stainless rules the kitchen. I can paint the walls any color I like, and not feel compelled to change appliances also. (not that there's $ for it anyway)

Bathrooms are A-OK with white fixtures. Timeless & classic. Simple. Again, can paint the walls or replace the flooring without also feeling compelled to rip out the fixtures.

Does anyone remember the thing that you could spray on the countertops? I think it was big about 20 years ago. Well every countertop in this house is covered with it.

It is all peeling and looks like shit.

We're not sure how to get rid of it or if we need to replace them.

Vinyl roofs on cars.

Mrs. KvC related a story of a family who had one such vehicle and drove it into the monkey pen of one of those drive through safari / zoos. Despite there being a warning sign not to do that with such cars.

Those primates raped the roof of that car and pretty much stripped iff all the vinyl.

We remodeled our bathroom with Italian tiles. They are blue, but look like wood. Really beautiful. According to the store, nobody bought that tile previously. They all wanted dull earth tones and neutrals for resale value. We'll likely die here, so who cares. The Mexican guys that did the work enjoyed it.

508 When hubby & I fixed up our master bath, we opted for a pre-made vanity topper to place on the old dual-sink cabinet. Turns out, it was "kitchen counter" and a few inches deeper than the original vanity top. Ooops! But we didn't notice until *after* hubby had cut the holes for sinks!

Well, $ down the drain?... No! Bathroom was fairly spacious, and we simply reinstalled the (refinished) old cabinet a few inches out from the wall to accommodate the new top. Hubby cut some filler pieces to go between back of cabinet & wall, stained them to match... and voila! now there's more space for all our toiletry junk!

No medicine cabinet in the wall, btw... the vanity has plenty of drawers.

519 Hi four seasons and JQ and all.

I guess that I am just going to leave my kitchen for someone else to redo when I sell it. I replaced the ovens and cooktop just a few years ago, but the cabinets are in tough shape, they were cheap when we built the house and they still kind of look okay if you don't peer too closely. I just don't think that I will realize the value of splurging on a whole new kitchen when I sell.

These are older, so not particleboard. Plywood & veneer. Just need cleaning, light (VERY light) sanding and new finish. Also-- re-align the damned hinges because they creak and *pop* and some doors don't close fully due to scuffing against the opposing ones.

New vinyl, new paint, new sink, and a better light fixture...

Thats the problem, the cabs are silly money. My cabs at dealer cost was 20K. I went a bit epic with the goodies. Made from cherry, rollout shelves in every base cabinet, 36" tall wall cabinets, cherry crown moldings, box columns on each side of the window, and on and on. Those cabs listed for 56K, meaning maybe 35K out in the world. that is obscene. When I was doing kitchens they were 7-10K out the door installed and done, put your groceries and dishes away. These days? Holy shit. My kitchen out in the world completely done would be 85-90K. Electrical, plumbing, floors, sink, granite, appliances etc. Thats insane, its not even funny.

532 Old dishwasher was leaking around the door. Not door seal: stepson, when young, used to use the open door as a stepstool to reach cabinet & bent the hinge. Kept a towel stuffed into that corner for years, changing it weekly...

Refrigerator-- water line was leaking, way up inside the unit. Ran without icemaker/water for couple of years, it wasn't really *that* inconvenient...

Range-- control board went out twice, but second time replacement no longer available. Could use range top but not oven. Toaster oven helped for a while...

Bathroom? Well... sinks were rusting out. One was completely rusted through & needed a bucket underneath for use. Crappy fiberglass tub/shower was discolored and scratched; sliding glass doors gunked up from hard water. Toilet functional but stained beyond cleaning. *Carpet in the bathroom! Need I say more?*

I'm looking at a house with a nice new tile or marble shower - but - they left the tub. Betting it's fiberglass I'm going to take the Diablo bladed sawzall toit and make some amendments.

Yeah, my toilet's so old the first layer of baked enamel is half gone. When I'm prepping it for sale it's getting a dose of muriatic acid. Probably the driveway and garage just to shine it up a little more.

537 Kitchen sink is gunked up from hard water, too. Tired of looking at it-- hubs was "batchin' it" for a long time before I got here, and there's no amount of scrubbing that'll make it look better than a janitors' utility sink in a subway station... YUCK!

Also, kitchen faucet is broken at the base. Leaks around it, but thankfully doesn't spill into cabinet below, just puddles around faucet topside.

I have the replacements. Just need to do the work.

And pray nothing else goes wrong when I finally get around to doing it!!!!

539 Gulp. I'm redoing the whole damned house. I bought this place for the garden and greenhouse. Now, we need to do the house. It is an older cabin, with bedroom upstairs under the eaves, which, if you've met DH, you know that kind of ceiling just doesn't work.

So, building a new ground floor bedroom between the house and garage, with a breezeway and new deck beyond. Then, gutting the tiny ass bathroom, and moving it to the "office," which is too stupid to be an office but has room for a nice bathroom and laundry.

Then, the kitchen. What fool thought 2-1/2 feet of countertop was enough? I'm really redoing all of that.

And a new propane forced air furnace to replace the crappy TOYOs.

Probably about 1/4 $M all in.

I bought the cabinets last week, the appliances today, need to get light fixtures, plumbing fixtures, all that jazz yet.

They will haul me out of here in a pine box after all this.

I think back to some of the kitchens we did in the 80's. I would imagine they are all long gone. Mauve was a big thing. There were some mauve counters. Natural oak or light oak was being used a lot, so people were bringing in color with their counters. the worse one was a pumpkin orange and natural oak (gag), or mauve with a natural oak, or a medium blue top. The european cabinet craze happened too. White formica cabs with wooden pulls that ran along the bottom width of the doors. Those kitchen all have to be gone by now. the natural oak and light oak might still be relevant if they stayed in nice shape, just change to a granite top. I really doubt any survived though.

542 Kitchen vinyl is worn through in places, along the underlayment seams. Need to fix *that* before putting in new sheet goods.

Light fixture glass got broken (before we began dating!) so just bare bulbs in their sockets to illuminate the room. Got a new fixture, just need to install. Probably should replace a few switches and outlets too, as one broken outlet caused problems already until I replaced it....

Paint? Yeah. Been at least 30 years since kitchen got painted. And there's some wallpaper to finish removing, too.

559 Hello, Fen! Long time no see!

Got any hopeful passages for a lonely person with crushing burdens?

Posted by: JQ at May 21, 2026 04:18 AM (rdVOm)

560 And to think, that I have a sibling what lives just 1/4 mile away-- that doesn't give a damn or worse: would laugh if he knew I was in a bad way... fker.

561 Ah, the 4am wide-eyed club. Which timezone are you in, JQ? 2:28 here. Odd how I could not keep my eyes open at 9 yesterday evening, but then can't seem to sleep through the night.

562 "For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:38-39)."

I am sorry you are lonely, dear, and have just yourself to look after your husband. I know that when I have read these overnight threads other posters here appreciate your kindness and your talents and your interesting conversation . I am sorry none seem close in distance to you. Is there a/ support group for people whose loved ones have Alzheimer's at the home where your husband is living?

565 Hi Don in SoCo-- PDT here. 1:37am

566 Thanks, Fen. Helpful.

Hubby doesn't have Alz. Worse: unpredictable. Vascular dementia + encephalopathy due to liver disease. His dx was death 5 years ago... uncharted territory now.

567 Pixy's up!

Posted by: m at May 21, 2026 04:41 AM (6wpGE)

568 No support group at hubby's home. Wish there was a better place around here! His place is... barely satisfactory, IMO.

Posted by: JQ at May 21, 2026 04:41 AM (rdVOm)

569 Yeah, yeah, pixy/tech.. I don't wanna trash up that thread, ya know?

Posted by: JQ at May 21, 2026 04:42 AM (rdVOm)

570 For me the witching hour is when I wake up and can't get back to sleep. Review life's troubles instead of counting sheep as the saying goes. A friend of mine told me he started writing in his journal at such times listing the good things in his life and it helped him a lot. I just might try that, too.

I'm sorry. It sounds very difficult and no, you wouldn't be "trashing up that thread". You are a valued commentator wherever you post.

572 I should try to sleep. F it.

G'night, all. Thanks for being here. See ya tomorrow!

Posted by: JQ at May 21, 2026 04:47 AM (rdVOm)

573 Yeah, it ain't easy watching somebody you love go downhill like that. And nursing facilities never seem to be what we wish fhey were.

579 Wow! This platform has the best anal sex porn videos!

The girls handle massive cocks and the video quality is unbelievable.

At last found a place with proper hardcore anal action. Prolapse play and perfect creampies.

Most impressive anal porn collection I’ve come across.
The scenes are so intense and the girls look incredible.

These anal sex porn videos are next level. Brutal and mind-blowing.
Streaming works perfectly.

Insane anal action! Tight asses getting pounded in the hottest
way.

Totally recommended! Best anal porn ever!
