Thursday Overnight Open Thread - June 18, 2026 [Doof]
More stuff the left hates Yes, That’s An American Flag Made from 295 Corvettes
Over 250 Corvettes descended upon Detroit’s Belle Isle on Flag Day last Sunday to form a giant American flag and raise money for four veterans’ charities. Obviously, there was a need for Corvettes in red, white, and blue, and those made up the majority of the flag, but some other colors formed the flag pole on which Old Glory flew. While as many as 450 Vettes were hoped for, a count of the flag showed 295, which is still impressive. The event was known as—and T-shirts proclaimed it—“Corvettes on the Island.” It was organized by Larry and Verna Courtney of Michigan Corvette Events, a Michigan-based nonprofit that supports food pantries and veterans groups. The Courtneys are well known in Corvette circles for enthusiast-driven events including Corvettes on Woodward, Corvettes on the Island at Belle Isle, and leadership roles in the National Corvette Caravan. “This homegrown Michigan effort is built by the Corvette community itself with owners expected from across the country for an ambitious Flag Day tribute celebrating America 250, and honoring veterans,” read a release on the event.Very cool.
----- When ya gotta go $13,000 Autonomous Robot Toilet Comes to the Side of Your Bed
For decades, maybe centuries, the phrase “going to the toilet” has been a part of our everyday lingo, regardless of language or culture, but, like many other things, AI may just make it obsolete. Because, with the help of advanced technology, the toilet can now come to you, wherever you are. At this year’s Shanghai International Aged Care, Assistive Devices, and Rehabilitation Medical Expo, Chinese accessibility technology brand Yueban unveiled its revolutionary Xiaoban smart toilet, which can essentially be described as an AI-powered autonomous robot toilet designed primarily for individuals with disabilities, semi-disabilities, or mobility impairments.Read the whole thing. It's kind of a cool idea. ----- I don't see much diference - do you?

A-list actor Tom Hanks took a surprise shot at MS NOW while attending the ceremonial opening of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago on Thursday.
Hanks, 69, found himself face to face with a reporter from the network shortly after arriving.
MS NOW Senior National and Political Correspondent Jacob Soboroff was streaming live and approached Hanks.
‘Great to see you,’ Soboroff said, eagerly attempting to get Hanks’ attention.
The actor appeared busy, but eventually acknowledged Soboroff after some light pestering.
He broke the silence with a quip: ‘What can I do for the 800 people watching MS NOW?’ – a nod to the network’s waning viewership.
‘Oh, come on. We’re live on MS NOW,’ Soboroff said, putting his hand on Hanks’ shoulder before offering a smile.
‘All right – add a zero to it,’ Hanks said in a dead-pan tone.

I've been reading Agatha Christie's "Death on the Nile." 140 pages into it and no one is dead yet. She's spending her sweet time setting up all the possible murderers, each of whom has a motivation to kill the victim.
The victim is sort of clueless. Not someone who deserves to die, but rather self-absorbed and doesn't see how her behavior affects those around her.

Find a lightning rod salesman. They are around, I bought them from one. Get him to sell Barky on the crying need for lightning rods to protect his legacy monument. Install four of them, with beautiful big braided copper ground straps going to copper-clad steel ground stakes. Soon, the local hood rats steal as much of the copper as they can manage to drag down; leaving ungrounded lightning rods securely bolted to the roof. Buy popcorn.

Schwerbelastungskörper. ""heavy load-exerting body." Let it trip over your tongue, and conjure up images of squat concrete construction, stories high, the very basis that Speer proposed to be the foundation of the remaking of Berlin as a truly international city.
Eighty years later, we see again this urge to reach to the skies via poorly dimensioned concrete blocks.
Schwerbelastungskörper. A poetry of concept encompassed by a single word, an Alexandrian verse in prestressed cement, a cyclopean exclamation point, a brutal modernist menhir erected and aimed at eternity.
Schwerbelastungskörper.
So, anyways . . .

Just finished watching a Bette Davis noir-type thriller from 1951, Another Man's Poison, in which she stars with her then-husband Gary Merrill. Nice twisty murder flick based on a stage play. Never a dull moment.
Tomorrow I'm taking vid tours of two more houses. One is a two-story place with hardwood floors, 3 BR/1.5 BA, a big living room and big dining room, basement, and garage, bedrooms upstairs. Unfortunately it's right up at the ceiling of my price range; I don't know if I can spring for it.
The other is a small 2 BR /1 BA with a rear patio and deck, all the floors done, a basement and a 2-car garage. Much better price than the other. But I hate the big glass patio door/window at the back, which will get sunlight a good part of the day in summer and leak heat in the winter. Every apartment or condo or house I've seen in the South has one, and I hate them.

I thought Twain had a story where the lightning rod salesman convinced him to buy so many lightning rods that he first despaired, and then mounted them all over his roof. Then a thunderhead came by and took up the challenge and invited all its friends and they spent the afternoon taking shots at the house until dispirited and exhausted the had to move on, leaving the house, and its now twisted and blackened lightning rods in place, with the added benefit that there hadn't been a single rumble of thunder heard in the county for 20 years since.

The technical term is "tofu dregs." The Brave Search AI summary from this afternoon:
"The term is Tofu-dreg construction (or Tofu-dreg project), derived from the Chinese phrase dòufuzhā gōngchéng ( 豆腐渣工程 ), which translates to "tofu dregs project." This slang describes poorly constructed buildings that are prone to structural failure due to substandard materials, such as concrete mixed with insufficient cement or excessive water to cut costs.
"The term was coined by former Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji in the late 1990s to criticize corruption and corner-cutting in China’s rapid infrastructure boom. While historically associated with a lack of regulation and bribery, recent standards (such as GB/T 51408-2021 for earthquake-prone areas) have significantly improved construction quality in response to public outcry and past collapses."

The reason the legacy media is desperately fawning over the opening of the Obama Jawas Sandcrawler and the cavalcade of Deep State former President/former First Lady villains is because they think they can turn around the fact that America completely rejected everything these evil hooligans stand for.

Searching around, moving things to try to flush it out didn't work. Reluctantly, we opened the doors, turned out the lights, and went to sleep, trusting our angels to protect us.
In the morning, I heard it buzzing behind the curtains at the window. MiladyJo, mighty hunter, gooshed it. (Her track record of successful kills has her invited on many a safari. Like that karate guy catching a fly with chopsticks.)
A stain on the curtain was a small price to pay for genetic management victory.
I hate horseflies. I'll always remember one buzzing me in the shallow end of the swimming pool, and I ducked under the water and swam all the way to the far end, popped my head out, and there it was, still buzzing me. Nasty things. Glad they don't seem to be as prominent hereabouts as they were in my yout'.

Stairlift, I has one... main bath is upstairs and hubby couldn't manage it any more. Money well spent-- he used it for 4 years. It's there if I ever need it. Weight limit on ours is 300#, cost in 2021 was $4k installed. (Had to have a dedicated 15A circuit which was not a problem) Has its own battery backup, supposedly good for ~20 trips if power goes out but we never needed it that much.
Very handy for taking heavy things up/down too! LOL. Installer said one of his customers used theirs to haul bags of mortar mix & boxes of tile when they did some bathroom work.

I wonder if the Chicago Butt Plug is something similar. Our former president might be convinced that now that he built it, everyone else will emulate it, 'proving' that he is still leading, or something.

Main bath up.
If I'm stuck here much longer I'm getting a winch from Harbor Freight, installing runners and hooking a leveled pallet to it.

Read today on Cowboy State Daily that a truck hauling bee hives crashed in Yellowstone.
We have to get rid of the idiot truck drivers.

Definitely a life-changer! Hubby actually cried happy tears-- it had been months since he'd had a real shower-- just sponge baths by the heater and washing his hair in the sink!

Heh. We considered same. But had some $ in the bank and decided to go for the 'non-redneck' setup. Still cheaper than adding a bath!

JQ,
We lived two miles from the in-laws. We had the stair issue at our house also.
They wanted to stay in their house so it was a win-win situation for all of us.
They were so happy to continue to live in their house.

After the first line, I was expecting a punny punchline and "Posted by: Hour of the Wolf."
Was the truck driver at least stung hundreds of times?

Okay.
"Read today on Cowboy State Daily that a truck hauling bee hives crashed in Yellowstone. ICE said, 'We didn't set that sting up, but we'll take it.'"

Probably not. They were too busy with lifeboats to hex the driver.

Wouldn't that be MegaMike? And would add new meaning to Windy City.

Thinking about those Richard Pryor clips the other night, and him getting darker and more angry over time and how stuff takes its toll on a human and how external evil influences corrupt natural love and interaction. I remembered conversation about your squad that had a nic for you, it was cool, and you liked it but later on, in retrospect you didn't like it anymore.
That's what propagandists do. They take things that bring people together and tear it, distort it and use it as a wedge to corrupt relationships which rips on the fabric of society and bring joy to their dark hearts.
Dad worked with a fellow whose nic name was Bo. Dad, why do yall call him Bo. _ Because he's a Bohunk. He'd had that nic since he was 10 and wore it happy. But today they'd rip it up.
It's a sad thing what we've allowed them to do to us.
