It Was The Best Of ONTs, It Was The Worst Of ONTs
Hello folks! Friday again! Who's ready for the long weekend? People sometimes ask me how I find the memes for the Friday ONT.
Sometimes I just take a stroll down meme street

The Maryland Renaissance Festival has banned fursuits this year
"Organizers of the festival, which opened for its 50th season last Saturday outside Annapolis, say they instituted the ban because humans who wear animal costumes are ahistoric to the actual renaissance — and because some patrons complained about feeling uncomfortable with furries at recent fairs."

After her death was an article in the NY Post about a song chose for Dolly at her funeral . It was "If I don't see you here I'll meet you in heaven" or something like that . It mentioned heaven four times . The writer said It crossed regional Racial and religious lines . I said "It's a religious song. I don't think atheists are belting out a song about heaven" although atheists may very well appreciate her non religious songs. Then numerous folks got into a fight with each other how atheists can be fine people and they didn't need God to make them good, which I said nothing about.
I think fighting with people you don't know and have never meet must take up some huge amount of time on social media . Uggh!

When I checked in, an ad popped up. "Why are Canadian men treating hemorrhoids at home instead of with surgery?"
I'm by the computer in the computer room. Ralphy is sleeping on his quilt and blanket on the floor. Snowflake is inside. She came down, looked up at the 3 foot or so bookcase she uses to jump to the window and the tall bookcase and just thought "Uhhh, no."
I weighed her today. She's still under 10 pounds. I lifted her. Maybe she's having an off day.
Back to work while the animals are resting.
Everyone have a great night.

I don't think so. Just use all the surprised Brits showing up for the World Cup as an example. They've all been force fed a whole lot of bull excrement. That's one of the things that annoyed me most about USAID and the other charity programs we paid for. They had no idea where the money was coming from. The Catholic church has the reputation of helping all these third world countries with Catholic Relief services. USAID goes bye bye and they lay off over 75% of their work force. The Catholic church was taking all the credit for their work, while the US funded it without credit. None of these countries know that we have essentially been subsidizing their lives.

Two of them. One's outside by the corner and one's here in the computer room. They're really cute. Nicely painted. 170 pounds - concrete. The pedestals are 70 lbs.
AceCorp and Big Monkey obviously teamed up to not so subliminally advertise to me over the years during the morning rant.
I'm almost to the point where I'll be getting the website set up and will post pictures.
Okay, back to the stuff.

Thank you for the ONT.
Today I went with my dude to the eye doc to drive home as he developed a big floater in his eyeball yesterday. Like a big annoying fly. We had to go to the university eye building. I think we were the only white people there. I debated yelling ICE to see if we could get in quicker. I was very close but refrained. I also wanted to yell, "Speak English" at one old broad.
He's fine but has put me through a rough few days this week (not that bad, all will be fine, but I don't multi stress well anymore). His retina is fine.
I did not want him going partially blind as we wait to see what they are going to do for his torn hip muscle, from the surprise MRI on Monday, due to running fast for long distances for 40yrs. I just knew running was bad for you (hated it), and swam instead. He may just need PT being olde. This is what we hope vs surgery.
Have a great weekend, y'all. I'm maybe going to get organized or something productive. Going nowhere fast.

He was a great singer. I still remember hearing him on the radio.
That's cool to know.
For everyone.
CBC had their trade war crap going today and had on El-Sayed. No mention of anything we know about of course.
And we were talking about the lack of ads in Michigan and Texas a day or so ago. MS Now reported that President Trump has about $403 million dollars ready to be spent on ads.
The idiot token DEI black guy commented it won't be spent since Trump is a grifter. The host agreed. Damn, they should be sued. But as people pointed out, the ads haven't started flowing because the elections are too far out. I'm guessing the last 5 weeks or so will be wall to wall ads.
El-Sayed is running pretty constant right now. My favorite. He's living the American dream. Awww.
Okay, back to it before bed.

Back in the day TX didn’t teach it in public school until 3rd Grade. I moved to Germany halfway through second and they were already hip deep into cursive writing. I had to learn it on my own, “just follow the examples above the board” the teacher said. Then I got home and my sister explained the whole bit of never picking up the pencil until you are done writing the word…
All of that messed me up something fierce with cursive. Haven’t written it since eight grade I think.

One of them routinely jumps the fence, runs over to our house for scritches or to watch me work in the yard and then runs back home and jumps the fence again to be 'home'.

The purpose of cursive is to write clearly and quickly with a dip pen nib or a fountain pen. The benefit today is that having good clear handwriting gives and impression of you when you are not there.
Mom taught school and had a beautiful Palmer cursive hand, and she hated my block lettering and thought I could do better. After she died I took it upon myself to learn cursive and I do it well.

Haven't had one but they climb trees! I love them.
Our Shepherd/Malamute/Husky pup grew to look like an Akita.Gilda had a Shepherd face and husky tail. Loved people she met as a pup & vetted. Slow to love others. She cross country skied with us, camped, went to FL to try to kill a lifeguard on the beach. Smart dog.
Once I was reading the newspaper after a 3-11 shift in my nightgown. Heard a rustle in a bush from a window in LR. Saw a tall guy come through front gate, thought, oh, crap.
Never said a word to Gilda. She knew something was wrong. Sensed it. No training. Quiet, not barking. Followed me as I quickly got dressed and heard the middle gate open. We used to leave the backdoor unlocked of that 100yr old house.
I got to that door at the same time as the guy, with Gilda glued to my right leg. Opened the door and said, "Get him, Gilda!"
Gave him the shock of his life, lunged at him. Bit his ass as he escaped over the back fence. She was proud.
Would have made a great military or police doggie.

As for hating other states, I generally don't hate anything in any serious way, certainly not states. I probably don't even rise to the level of Rick's comment to Ugarte, at the bar, when it comes to this sort of thing.
Growing up in a golden era in CA, didn't think a lot about other states. Personally was much more interested in the outside world. Just wish the CA hate had started much earlier, before 15M+ moved to the place they hate (leaving illegal migration completely out of it). Dunno if the political collapse/death would have gone differently, but quality of life otherwise would have remained much higher.

I could see some countries having a legitimate reason for hating the US, but mostly it's envy. By now it's gotten to the point where there isn't a single insult they can throw at us that we haven't heard for 250 years.

Schwegmann's was the local predecessor to Walmart. A gigantic grocery, but it also sold toys and books and all sorts of things. The huge one in town had an upstairs portion with insurance agencies and a barbershop. We used the brown paper bags for school book covers.

I was going through a fancy princess stage with my own bedroom, French provencial furniture, and a canopy bed. Ruffled curtains. The works.
I bought a twee wind up alarm clock that was white/gold and plastic... but French looking to add to the vibe.
It's lucky to still exist in MS because I HATED it tinkling, "Oh What a Beautiful Morning" at 0530 so I could catch the bus. I am amazed I did not throw it against a wall.
I still hate that song.
In college my roommate's clock would be on a rock station at 0700 and Maggie Mae was nearly daily. I am not fond of that song, either. Nor of the former roommate who smoked like a chimney and gave me sinus problems.
Goodnight and have a pleasant tomorrow and weekend!

There's a 1964 promo floating around YooToob, with the Bonanza actors, Elizabeth Montgomery and Agnes Moorehead, and Robert Vaughn all touting various Chevrolet models. They were on different networks, true, but Chevy sponsored them all and provided vehicles for Bewitched and U.N.C.L.E. (in its first year).

It was the head sticking out and talking to mirrors (people) that did me in.
I didn't want to even think about the rest.
I was maybe 8yrs old but did not bring it up with my parents (phobia). They thought I was weird enough not knowing everything that went through my mind, which was a lot.
I read fast and remember details, near photographic memory which has faded like a Polaroid. Which came in handy when studying everything but algebra, which I hated in 9th grade and did not try.

We had cajun cousins from Chalmette. When we visited we'd walk a few blocks to a bowling alley with them. Which brings up another phobia I acquired young: bowling shoes. I think they are icky. I am also a poor bowler and don't care.
Rode a bus to NOLA with an older cousin and a pervert on the bus exposed himself to us. Cousin was horrified and I laughed as I didn't know what was going on with the hobo.
They also have giant mosquitos and most of the place is built on a landfill that gave people cancer after hurricane floods. The End.

The Bible does not explicitly state whether Lot went to heaven or not. However, he is considered a righteous man in the New Testament, suggesting that he may have been saved due to his faith
Who in the New Testament considered Lot a righteous man?

As I've said before, we wouldn't have gone out and got a Malinois on purpose, but she adopted us. High energy, indeed, although she has begun to be a little less puppy wild. Smart. Knows what she wants and when she wants it.
Finds her own fun in the toy box and no longer chews up shoes, furniture, and window sills. Knows when we've laid down our forks and demands a game of fetch right away. (Hey! I'm still drinking coffee here!) Runs like a hurricane after those tennis balls. And squirrels and deer when she can.
Also incredibly loud. Hearty barking for strangers. Long howls for sirens, or joining in with the coyotes. High demand for belly scratches from everyone who comes in the door. Has her own places and routines for sleeping.
She's become a real friend.

I had a friend---who was brilliant, ordained a priest but died far too soon---who thought the Book of Job was an ancient example of Jewish Humor. I can see it. ". . . and much cattle."
Personally I think that Moby Dick is supposed to be funny. Maybe funny like Infinite Jest (which I haven't read). I mean three chapters on scrimshaw and more on rigging? Sharing a bed with Queequeg? He is toying with us. When my wife and I had only two kids we bought a minivan and I named it Rachel.
Btw no one knows where Tarshish was, but my favorite theory is it was another name for Carthage. The sounds match up, and it's far off in the opposite direction of Nineveh.

20/20.. And I remember Mom saved the cute little porcelain critter figures that came in boxes of Red Rose Tea. Still have a few.
Recorded off the radio often, when I lived in Eugene (late '70s). FM station had a week-night program that would play a new album: DJ would announce the Title, songs list & playing time for *each side* with a commercial break in between. They expected people to record it and made it easy!
Saturday nights, they'd feature a "classic" album, with same easy-to-record format.

I always viewed this line as a trap.
If I say, yes; I have to believe every word of whatever Bible this person accepted. Probably KJV.
If I say, no; well, I can be written off as some kind of infidel not worth your time.
I'm ornery enough just to say "no, I prefer hell to continuing this line of conversation".

I had a friend---who was brilliant, ordained a priest but died far too soon---who thought the Book of Job was an ancient example of Jewish Humor. I can see it. ". . . and much cattle."
I believe the textual evidence indicates that Job is far older than that, and is likely the oldest book in our Bible by far.
There’s nothing “Jewish” about the book at all - no hints of Mosaic law, suggesting it predates Moses by centuries. Also, it takes place in a society which is a cattle culture (which Israel never was) which existed before the idea of money, which also points to a very early date. And the people in it are urban, not wanderers in a desert.
It fits the general culture of the Euphrates River basin, possibly when Sumer was still dominant.
That story could be 4000 years old.

This is the President of the United States:
—Just signed an order revoking Chris Krebs’s security clearance and has directed the DOJ to investigate him for his role in the overthrow of the U.S. government on November 3, 2020.
Krebs was the head of CISA, who weaponized his position and conspired with the FBI and Big Tech to censor truth, evidence, proof, and testimony involving the 2020 election—and who deliberately designated November 3, 2020, as the most “secure election in American history.”

—A secret meeting organized on Election Day, 11, 3, 2020, by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and Chris Krebs, involving Dominion officials, the FBI, & over 200 individuals from government entities, private businesses, and media outlets to discuss the overthrow of the United States government with private companies and Democratic groups.
The list includes over 200 names of individuals, government entities, private businesses, media outlets, & at least one tech giant. It includes a curious mix of members from Dominion, ES&S, ERIC Systems, Amazon, Runbeck, Microsoft, Scytl, several Secretary of State offices, the Associated Press, and leftist groups.
Forty-three groups make up the CISA EI-SCC (Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency), with not a single conservative group represented.
Several high-profile individuals were invited, including Jennifer Morrell (wife of CIA Director Michael Morell) with The Elections Group; Ryan Macias with The Lafayette Group; Eric Coomer with Dominion—“Don’t worry about the election. Trump is not going to win. I made fucking sure of that.”; and the Serbian—Jocelyn Benson, the Michigan Secretary of State.

This is another case of federal judges issuing Temporary Restraining Orders (TRO) which are normally not appealable. Because temporary (maybe #twoweeks traditionally), so not even enough time to work into the appellate calendar.
So if one expires, issue a new one or extend the old one and run out the clock. Wait...the election is WHEN!!?? Dangit-Sorry too late.
This is a new one with the same effect, so a bit harder to appeal. But hey, it's Labor day weekend, what's the hurry?

Well, Colombo goes to Mercury. The ESA Mercury probe, "BepiColombo" has separated from its transfer vehicle and will enter orbit around Mercury in early Nov.
So, it will be pestering Mercury, "Just one more thing, Mr. Mercury".
This thing is named after Italian astrophysicist and engineer Giuseppe "Bepi" Colombo, note the second'o' as opposed to the 'u' for Lt. Columbo.
That thing has been orbiting in the inner solar system for about 8 years. It used a bunch of flybys of Erf, Venus, and Mercury to gradually slow itself down enough to get into orbit around Mercury.
Bepi Columbo studied Mercury and was big on developing the gravity slingshot/assist maneuvers used by NASA/JPL and others. He was the one who developed the Mariner 10 trajectory back in '74.

Straw says he's been following it for 6 years.
I would be better if he came back and sorted out the confusion.

the "Lion of the Senate" also conspired with KGB officials to try to defeat Reagan in '84. So add traitor to the list, including murderer and adulterer...

Nah, I think he's got a point! Make the expansion *Trump's idea* and the left will fight it to the bitter end.
Heh. Let them shoot their own foot in the process!

The beaches in Idaho are lovely. In a very freshwater western way.
Hello DDS and Four Seasons. Thanks for saying hi. Long dry summer in eastern Wyoming. Felt like fall on Tuesday, nearly 100 yesterday.

Why do you insist on borrowing everything from your Special Friend whose name I can't pronounce? And the social worker will ask about your legal relationship, so think a little, mkay?

Had a heat wave, lows no lower than the low 70's for about 2 wks (with 96%+ humidity). Last few days the low has dropped to the low 60's, so even humid, okay to cycle through the house...

That is something Republicans are muuuuch better at than Dems. Never, ever take a political position to pwn someone or whatever. It will backfire.
