Saturday Night Club ONT - June 27, 2026 [D&D]

Welcome to Club ONT - a collaboration of The Disco and The Dino. We built this place for you so you can have some fun. Come in in, grab a drink or 3. Keep it light and friendly. Jerks need not enter the premises (the moose out front is keeping track and you do NOT want to disappoint the moose).

Saturday Night Jokes and Other Funnies

Four Catholic Men and a Catholic Woman Were Having Coffee in St. Peter's Square...

The first Catholic man tells his friends, "My son is a priest; when he walks into a room, everyone calls him 'Father'".

The second Catholic man chirps, "My son is a Bishop. When he walks into a room, people call him 'Your Grace'".

The third Catholic gent says, "My son is a Cardinal. When he enters a room, everyone says, 'Your Eminence'".

The fourth Catholic man then says, "My son is the Pope. When he walks into a room, people call him, 'Your Holiness'".

Since the lone Catholic woman was sipping her coffee in silence, the four men gave her a subtle, "Well..."?

She proudly replies, "I have a daughter, slim, tall, 38D - 24 - 36.

When she walks into a room, people say, "Jeeeeeeeeeesssssssuuussss!"

-----

Two men and a woman are going to hitman school...

Their teacher takes one of the men out into the hallway, points at a door and says, "In this room, we have your wife. Here's a loaded pistol, go in and kill her."

The guy says, "OK." He goes into the room and comes out a few minutes later. He says, "I love her, I can't do it."

The teacher says, "You don't have what it takes to be a hitman, get out of here."

The teacher then does the same thing with the other guy, with the same result.

He then takes the woman out into the hallway, points at a door and says, "In this room, we have your husband. Here's a loaded pistol, go in and kill him."

She goes into the room, and he hears a gunshot, and then all hell breaks loose. There's yelling and screaming plus furniture being broken. After about 15 minutes of this, the woman comes out looking dishevelled and says, "Why the hell did you put blanks in the gun? I had to beat the son-of-a-bitch to death."

Drink of the Night

The 2026 World Cup is well underway. And as luck would have it, a new "official"?? (probably not) cocktail has come about!

Buchanan’s Whisky debuts a simple, refreshing cocktail for the 2026 FIFA World Cup

The Buchanita cocktail mixes Scotch with pineapple juice. (We’ll wait while our Scottish ancestors roll over in their graves.) But don’t mind them—Scotch doesn’t need to be fussy or only consumed neat in a Glencairn glass beside a pipette of water. That’s especially true when you’re dealing with an easygoing blended Scotch like Buchanan’s 12-Year. The 80-proof whisky has a light profile that’s full of orange, honey and mild chocolate, and it mixes well with fruit juices like citrus and pineapple. You can score the refreshing drink at stadium concessions, bars and fan zones throughout the World Cup, or make it yourself for at-home watch parties.
***
How to make the Buchanita cocktail
No one wants to play mixologist at their World Cup watch party. So stock a cooler with beer, then grab a bottle of Buchanan’s 12 and some fresh pineapple juice, and you’ve got everything you need to watch soccer for the next five weeks.
Ingredients:
1.5 oz Buchanan’s 12 Year DeLuxe Blended Scotch Whisky
5 oz fresh pineapple juice
pineapple leaf for garnish
Combine Buchanan’s whisky and fresh pineapple juice in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake well. Strain into a lowball glass over fresh ice, and garnish with a pineapple leaf.

Club ONT Jukebox

Club regular "tankdemon" has taken over the jukebox tonight. As today is the 27th of the month, he's featuring members of The 27 Club

Who was the first member of this club?

Robert Johnson died in 1938, and the cause of death is as mysterious as much of his life. The official death certificate attributes it to complications from syphilis, but many of his friends and contemporaries say it was murder — whiskey laced with strychnine, courtesy of a jealous husband of one of Johnson’s lovers. He was set to play Carnegie Hall just a few months later, but instead he was laid to rest in an unmarked grave.
Robert Johnson was the first, but unfortunately not the last, important musician to pass away at 27, becoming the founder of a club no one wants to join — and one that has captured the popular imagination for decades.

Many thanks to tankdemon for being on time with the tunes tonight!

There was a sketchy dude at the Crossroads offering guitar lessons.

Crosstown traffic was backed up because a kazoo player was standing in the middle of the street.

My family got concerned about my Red Velvet Cake obsession and tried to sign me into a program.

I couldn't decide on an excuse, so used all apologies.

91 I watched "Into the Woods" today - the plot is a couple of sisters trying to survive some undetailed apocalypse in a house deep in the woods in North California (actually filmed on Vancouver island) where the power goes out and stays out.

Minor spoiler: Eventually they figure out how to hunt/gather in their area to deal with their used up food supplies.

So I did a little research - the estimate is that an Indian hunter gather would need about 2000 acres of land in the northwest to live off of! Yes with modern knowledge you could shave something off that but...that's a lot of land.

Now in comparison a medieval peasant would only need about 4 acres...No wonder agriculture spread so quickly...

Honestly, I believe that most of the hype about how he was “electable!” and “moderate!” and “appeals to a broad range of Texas voters!” was mostly just a well financed op by the Cornyn campaign.

The democrats got played for fools in the Texas GOP’s civil war, and they’re just now starting to figure out what happened.

You're welcome. I've been parsing out one of my songs per music thread (usually) from the sessions I recorded a decade ago, before my fingers and voice started failing. I know they're no great shakes on performance or recording, but wanted to get them all out in the world. For posterior's sake.

119 "Sappy" is a great song. Never on an album, it was a secret track on some charity compilation. The hits have been played to death, and Cobain should be noones role model, but they were the last great band, and when he imploded or was murdered (either is believable) he wasn't washed yet. Great sound and he could write a hook. Almost against his wishes because he really wanted to be the kind of punk artist that most people rejected but he was just too good at songwriting

It would depend on the area and the group, you know. The PNW indians did maintain food patches, in Camas prairies that also had other plants that were harvested like biscuit root, cattail and wapato swamps, and they also in areas maintained food forests with the edible plants from filberts to elderberries. There was lots of fishing of salmon and trout that was preserved, as well as smelt which were traded widely inland similar to cod in Europe. There were also traditional areas for collecting acorns and for berrying.

166 100 times, huh?

Edith Piaf, Hymne a L'amour-- the video version from Piaf's 1950 concert at Carnegie Hall.

My second choice (very CLOSE second!) would be Celine Dion, same song, at the close of the 2924 Olympics.

I finally went with Piaf because she wrote the song.

Btw, would you have to hear the same song 100 times on continuous play? Or would there be bathroom breaks?

211 157 Tangerine Dream soundtrack for Thief

Posted by: Archer at June 27, 2026 11:00 PM (wvc0i)

I've probably listened to that (and the rest of their '73 - '96 output, including boots) at least 1000 times. Though if I had to pick only one album from them as my all-time fave rave, it would be Rubycon. It's the true birth of "Berlin School" electronica, and is (to me) the perfect album from them.

Tangerine Dream is my favorite modern music act (I'm a Moderator of three different TD Fakebook groups, and met the band backstage twice in London in '96 and '97.) however, the act that currently performs under the name is using it as a skinsuit, IMNSHO. As far as I'm concerned, the band ended when Edgar Froese died back in 2015.

Don’t be fooled, the U.S.A. isn’t much of a free market any longer, they also want to give (as always) a false choice and blame Capitalism (a Marxist term, btw)

252 Hmmm..200 ft lazy river pool system looks pretty cool. I have the room for it, but that looks like a nightmare to maintain. Around here I would find animals partying in it. There was actually a pool here at one time, but I guess the last owner bailed on the idea. Probably for the same reasons I don't want one to start with.

264 Well, I got the Gravely mower started today, and it ran fine, but it would not motivate. At. All. Engaged the PTO, and the mower deck blades spun merrily, decapitating the few dandelions unlucky enough to be under it. But the machine would not move. Checked the level in the hydraulic fluid tank. A little low, maybe? Added some. No joy.

Machine's owner shows up while it's idling away. "What are these plugs in the front of the two hydraulic pumps?" I thought they looked like bleeder screws. They were loose. I screwed in until they seated. Bingo! We had drive, forward and reverse. But there was a lot of chatter, and the inside wheel skidded on the turf when making a tight turn. Hard on the lawn. Supposedly, there is a precise procedure one had to follow to properly set up the hydro drive. So I have to look that up.

And the Buick has gone home, all done. Woot!

276 I think Al-Asad airbase was our last significant military concentration in Iraq and we exited that a while back. Haven't kept up, but likely there's an augmented USMC detachment at the embassy (they have air defense installations), more personnel at the support facility at BIAP (airport), and definitely folks up in Iraqi Kurdistan. Would guess (lol) there's a significant Other Guvamint Agency presence in Kurdistan as well.

Some Euro presence in Kurdistan as well. A French soldier was killed in a drone attack during the recent full-blown festivities.

Iran built several of what they called “missile cities” , tunneling under mountains so the actual storage sites were under hundreds of feet of granite, safe even from bunker buster bombs. Even the US agreed that they had tens of thousands of ballistic missiles stored in these sites.

In early March, US bombs destroyed and collapsed the entrances to these sites so that they were unreachable - but published satellite photos show that Iran has been digging them out and establishing access over the last 6 weeks.

It appears that they’ve been successful, and their “missile cities” are back online. No doubt the contents are now being distributed around the country.

After supper, Mama started to feel breathless. We were finishing up with her leg bandages (edema/hematomas), and Publius took her blood pressure about 20 times. It was very high for her - like 160/98 one time (normally she's like 106/58 or something like that). They said there's fluid in her lungs and they'll have to put her on Lasik (sp?) to remove fluid.

Such a bummer, since her legs were really improving from keeping them elevated. She hates that but we finally convinced her that it was more important than her comfort right now.

Poor lady has sooooo much going on, and she is so effin sweet you wouldn't believe it. The best mother-in-law evah!
