Wednesday Night ONT - November 11, 2026 [TRex]

Good evening Horde! The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the overnight variety. The bar is open and fully stocked. Step up and place your order.

Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of random overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and join the fun. Good will offerings of amusing puns are encouraged. Pants are optional. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors.

If you're a troll, go away.

This is a Tucker, Candace, Megyn, and Bill Kristol free zone. Please.

Early morning coming here at Casa Dino, so apologies for being more low profile than usual in the comments. Please don't make a mess of the place. I'd like to get my security deposit back.

Today is Veteran's Day. Thank you to all who serve.

California Sheriff's Deputy Rides Stolen Dinosaur After Bizarre Rescue

One Southern California dinosaur is back in its natural environment on Monday after facing near extinction.
A large green dinosaur from a Sinclair gas station in San Joaquin County, California, was stolen on Oct. 27, per CBS News. Police investigated the stolen dinosaur, which left a trail toward Stockton, where it was found with a black bag over its head.
A suspect was arrested - albeit not the person the dinosaur was ultimately found with, who claimed they had no idea the dinosaur was stolen.
Deputies returned the dinosaur to the gas station it was originally stationed at on Monday. But before doing so, the deputies who rescued it took several photos to celebrate their achievement.

Big hat tip thanks to tankdemon. Next time he's late, I bet he blames the delay on a wayward dino.

Spotted in the real world recently. This is not AI.

Anything this awful must be good for you, right? Can you imagine being a cherry or lemon and thinking you are destined for a pie and finding you've been re-assigned in a futile attempt to moderate the evil that is beet juice?

After thinking further, it all became clear. Maybe we're supposed to use them as ordinance against our enemies?

Mandatory Maiden

The time has come for Aces High. The song is about the Battle of Britain in 1940, told from the perspective of a British RAF fighter pilot. I would wager a large amount of money that many people are familiar with Sir Winston Churchill's famous speech thanks to the introduction to Aces High that Iron Maiden uses when playing the song live.

June 4, 1940:

I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once again able to defend our Island home, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone.
At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do. That is the resolve of His Majesty's Government - every man of them. That is the will of Parliament and the nation.
The British Empire and the French Republic, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength.
Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail.
We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.

Full speech here

Fun fact - the original speech given to Parliament was not recorded when delivered live. It was recorded for posterity after the war ended.

Niche YouTube Channel of the Week

Tonight's feature is a YouTube channel from Boylei Hobby Time. Content from this channel has found its way to the Saturday Hobby Thread, but it may not be known more broadly. This is single hobbyist builder that makes amazing dioramas, often with very creative bespoke scenes (many with sci-fi themes).

The skill is remarkable. The creativity is impressive. In many cases, the final products are personal showpieces. In some cases, they are gifts for others. The channel description starts with a bible quote - "I hope my videos inspire you to create with the gifts you've been created with." (Ephesians 2:10)

The videos themselves are simple, methodical and well done. Modest voiceover and background music, but no graphics or clickbait. Most screen time shows his hands engaged in the specifics of crafting. It is not so much a "how to" channel as a "watch and learn" channel. Many projects use a kit as a starting point and add the magic of scenery and action to give them life.

The channel has over 1.15 million subscribers and view counts range from the hundreds of thousands in to the millions. He has been posting videos for six years.

Sample video to illustrate (yes, he had me at "dinosaur army"):

12 In August, 1990, I was taking a break, leaning against a tree, reading a book on the Son Tay raid ("The Raid", great book). There was a radio nearby tuned to some news station. There came an announcement that Saddam Hussein had invaded Kuwait. Suddenly my class at airborne school, Ft. Benning, became very quiet and very interested in what was going to happen next. In fact, the class was nearly canceled because every plane the military could get was going to Saudi Arabia. Apparently the school borrowed one C-130 from the KY NG and the entire class, all five jumps, were done from that one C-130. But I got through unscathed and got my jump wings. Had a bit of swagger at ROTC that Fall. Jump school baby. Huah!

Stolen by a moslem, who assumed the green dinosaur was female and thus threw the bag over its head.

31 After coming close to death three years ago, dealing with consequences since, along with other vicissitudes of living long if not well, having dear relatives go berserk, watching as muslins and commies ruthlessly advance their degenerate agendas, and contemplating the next global extinction event possibilities…

…I can truly say, 🎶I don't care anymore. As that great and wise philosopher Pogo taught us, Don't take life so serious; it ain't no-how permanent.

And although into each life a little pain must fall, there's a bluebird on my shoulder and everything is satisfactual.
Merrily merrily merrily merrily life is but a dream to be enjoyed, so do. Can't wait for the good luck to rain down on Friday the 13th. Watching and hoping for divine interventions great and small. Makes life fun.

48 I love Phil Collins and this song, T-Rex.

Thank you for the ONT.

We raised our boys on rock and roll. Some blues tossed in.

Our first boy was 2yrs when this song was written. He talked early and like a mini adult. He knew this one and when to pause and then sing again. Heard music at home and in the cars. He's the former professional musician (saxophone). Talent from his father.

Moving cross country he was 2.5yrs old and rocked and sang with us. Baby bro was 8wks old and oblivious.

Moving to FL from the Rockies in 1984 and "Home by the Sea" he sang loudly & proudly. Every band we loved they did as well.

Two years ago in Honolulu we had an hour drive from dinner to the condo one night. Younger son had Foreigner's "I Want to Know What Love Is" playing loudly in the car. The grands sang with us. At the end as it fades out our 3yr old crazy granddaughter sang out, "I want to know what love is" and we cracked up.

Love 'em. We dance and sing and they know this music of their grandparents!

I love rock and roll and the blues with some jazz. & classical.

Supermodel kisses and have a great night and wonderful Thursday.

I'm sure he will. Some of the other debunkers have. They all seemed to really like him, and in fact, they owe a good bit to him for providing them their content to have fun with. They seem to realize that.

Some of these flat earth/space is fake types are really vile people, with a few pure grifters in there. CC was not one of them, far from it. A lovable crank you might say. He was really funny.

Sometimes, you couldn't help but wonder if it was all an act, him just having fun yanking chains, but we'll never know now.

IF I understand things correctly, he did all of that...and then a DECADE or more later offered to take her back.

Jeez dude, let it go. And believe in yourself just a little.

65 On a less positive note from Howard the Duck apparently the guy that played the Duck, Ed Gale was a gay pedo...

66 Soap? For a truly manly scent I can recommend Grandpa's Pine Tar Soap. It smells like something that would have been issued to my grandfather at the shower tent on Guadalcanal.

So more or less typical Hollywood before we knew it was typical?

68 She was interviewed about it recently and several times admitted she saved the underwear from that scene.

Why...?

69 Odd fact of the day...

Remember the movie Howard the Duck where Lea Thompson had a sex scene with a duck?

She was interviewed about it recently and several times admitted she saved the underwear from that scene.

Why...?

She wanted to wear it Anatidae?

This is going to be a double catch attempt with Starship. A booster catch, and then a return from orbit catch of the Ship itself.

And they're doing it all on Friday the 13th.

Luxury!

In my day we washed once a decade with a broken bit of slate and the tears of a disappointed mother.

You lot with your scented bars and running water…

Sheesh. You elites.
My mother threw me into the river and I had to scrub the dirt off using the gravel off the river bottom. And this was every other morning before school.
In the winter.
And if the current carried me out of town, I had to run back on my own.

So many thoughts about that one.

Phil said at one point that one had the working title (so all the band members would know what one they were playing at that moment) "El Zeppo". Yeah. And the finished product sounds NOTHING like Led Zeppelin.

The finished product "sounds" amazing...musically...? But does it mean anything? Is this song *about*...anything?

I'm asking IF you made the best sounding song ever that was about a "soap dish"...did you really record a great song?
