SCaturday Overnight Open Thread (6/23/18 ) And Yoko Free

The Saturday Night Joke

A father buys a lie detector robot that slaps people when they lie.

He decides to test it out at dinner one night. The father asks his son what he did that afternoon.

The son says, "I did some schoolwork."

The robot slaps the son.

The son says, "Ok, Ok. I was at a friend's house watching movies."

Dad asks, "What movie did you watch?"

Son says, "Toy Story."

The robot slaps the son again.

Son says, "Ok, Ok, we were watching Stormy Daniels movies."

Dad says," What? At your age I didn't even know what dirty movies were."

The robot slaps the father!

Mom laughs and says, "Well, he certainly is your son."

The robot slaps the mother.

Robot for sale.

Quantity over quality. A theme of many a young Moron. Why cheap beer is good.

Everywhere you look these days, attention is being paid to craft beers — heavy, hoppy small batch brews made by independent companies with artisanal recipes, new combinations of ingredients, and unique flavor profiles.

Cheap, old school beers — the kind your dad used to drink while grilling some brats or watching the World Series — have come to be looked down upon by some as boring, bland, water-downed corporate swill — the “fast food” of brews.


Next week, why Kosher salt is preferred on French Toast.

Living up to his name, Genius Award Winner.

A Council Bluffs man who has pleaded guilty to operating while intoxicated after police said they found him next to his upside-down car will be sentenced in July.

Benjamin Beer, 21, was arrested March 16 about a month before his birthday.

According to Council Bluffs Police, officers were dispatched to the 300 block of Eighth Street at 2:21 a.m. for a vehicle reported to be resting on its top after striking other vehicles.

It is never too late to succeed. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.

Jo Barton described herself as a “nightmare teen.” At 13 years old, the Essex, England, adolescent had little supervision as her mother had been admitted to the hospital due to her mental health.

Barton experimented with alcohol, and by the time she was 14, she’d dropped out of school. With no degree and nowhere to go, her life had gone off the tracks before it had even begun.

Any other mackerel snappers in here? I am new at this so I gotta ask: have you had the experience of the priest just... not doing a homily? Because that's what we got tonight, the John Cage 4'33" sermon.

The sound system was b0rked, is the excuse given, but you'd think that they didn't have sound systems from, oh, 33 AD to 1833 AD. Somehow the Papists (and other Christian preachers) managed.

93 Any other mackerel snappers in here? I am new at this so I gotta ask: have you had the experience of the priest just... not doing a homily? Because that's what we got tonight, the John Cage 4'33" sermon.

The sound system was b0rked, is the excuse given, but you'd think that they didn't have sound systems from, oh, 33 AD to 1833 AD. Somehow the Papists (and other Christian preachers) managed.

Yo hobo, fellow mackerel snapper here.

This would've been the Vigil Mass tonight, correct? I.e., a "Sunday" Mass. No homily = no bueno, liturgically speaking.

It is permissible for the priest to "skip" the homily for an ordinary weekday[/] Mass (although he is strongly encouraged to at least offer a few minutes reflection on the readings).

For Sunday and other Holy Days of Obligation, however, the homily is obligatory.

How large is your Church building? Perhaps Father didn't think he could project his voice sufficiently to be heard; however, in that case, wasn't the entire Liturgy also impossible to hear??

97 I of course spent my earlier days drinking cheap beer, and later have switched to the craft beers. But the hops on many (the IPAs especially) are too damned hoppy, and if I can get one down, I will be passing gas for a couple of hours.

Now, lighter, crisper pilsners and lagers are showing up. But one night at an event, all they had were the hoppy craft beers, and one other: Rainier.

Rainier is a light, cheap beer, the original in Washington state. More popular by far than Olympia, another of the old labels.

So one night at a free park concert, a small beer garden run by a non-profit as a small fundraiser, was offering up beer, 2 craft beers and Rainier. If I drank one of those craft beers, I would have cleared out the crowd half an hour later. So I went with the Rainier, and good times!

Now I find talking with groups of twenty somethings about beer, is that Rainier is making a comeback locally. And what I also found interesting is that the youngins were somehow fascinated at my college stories that always, somehow, included Rainiers. Funny how a little conversation about cheap beer can lead to more.

Is there anything cheap beer cannot do?

Yep. Henry Weinhards? Dude, that was the high priced spread when it came out! For me, a Henry's was my first beer that had some body, some depth, and still tasted good. Still in stores today everywhere in the area. Never could down one of those Rainier Ice things, reminded me of Rainier Ale - the original - in a green bottle. It was horrendous ale, not unlike Mickey's big mouth ale. Only worse, and a higher alcohol content.

the pettiness and vile behavior of the red hen woman, not any "moral convictions", as claimed is epitomized in how SHS was treated: sarah made a reservation and could have been told prior to arrival she would not be served. instead, they sit her party of 8, waiter takes orders and THEN her highness queen hen goes to table and evicts her. maximum embarrassment, walk of shame, and, i would bet, that she had someone video it, but the shit storm after the server posted on FB forced her to dial it back. all of this was to get a stormy daniels level of praise from her fellow progressive travelers.

if the hen person really had moral convictions, she would have been like the cake bakers, who told the gay folks privately they could not bake their cake. if the bakers had behaved as the hen person, they would have accepted the order (as she did by taking the reservation and then seating the SHS party), but on the wedding day show up and say, "sorry, moral convictions: no cake" and, then, posted photos on social media of their cake order, which they cancelled. there was nothing moral about it. it was preening and virtue signaling by a very small, childish and immature woman.

My brother is COO for Iron Horse Brewery in Ellensburg. More than
once they wanted to run a generic seasonal as nod to the cheap beer
gods. It is still a possibility, would be a marketing coup.

Posted by: Quilter's Irish Death at June 23, 2018 10:47 PM (X+DbD)

Iron Horse? The wedding I attended served Iron Horse on tap, it was a lighter brew, a blonde. Five stars out of Five! Pure smooth beer, no fruity or other goofy flavor to mess it up.
Sadly, I had to cut myself off. It was going down like cold water in the desert, but I had to drive later.

Pyramid brewery out of Portland now brews a brand called "Sessions". It comes in a Lucky Lager-style stubby bottle and reminds me and a couple of others with gray hair agreed. But it sure isn't a cheap beer price. I see it all over in Western Wash grocery stores these days.

290 One of the down sides of streaming video is that my mother will find some show I find stunningly dull and binge watch it. Her latest was even worse for making me feel long in the tooth.
This show, 'The Good Witch', has a really annoying character even my mother hates, who also is Mayor of the small town where the series is set. I noticed in passing a name I recognized, an actress on a show I watched in the 90s, 'Forever Knight'. I could recall thinking she appeared to be somebody who struggled with her weight but she looked good back then. Well, it turns out the obnoxious Mayor is Catherine Disher and she apparently gave up the weight struggle completely. She must be a good hundred pounds heavier than she was when FK ended.

She's no spring chicken anymore at 58. But still, to let it get that bad, it forces me to acknowledge just how much time has passed.

It was horrendous ale, not unlike Mickey's big mouth ale. Only worse, and a higher alcohol content.

323 I never "got" the artisanal beers. I've had beer fans bore me half to death explaining about the hops and the malt and the notes of citrus. All I taste is beer that's too bitter and isn't cold enough.

When I drink beer, I drink cheap crap and I like it a lot. I drink Corona or Blue Moon or whatever the old local one-syllable German name brewery makes.

Nor am I a whiskey fan. Highland single-malt scotch tastes like an industrial accident. Irish isn't so bad. I drink cocktails made with well liquor and they taste just fine.

What's funny is that I AM a huge wine snob. Well, not a snob, because right now we're in a golden age of good wine when even the cheap crap is pretty damned good, but the good stuff is like the ambrosia the Gods used to drink. I had a cotes de Roussillion a couple of years ago that made me just sit for about two minutes, unwilling to swallow because it would make the flavor go away.

Yep. Henry Weinhards? Dude, that was the high priced spread when it
came out! For me, a Henry's was my first beer that had some body, some
depth, and still tasted good. Still in stores today everywhere in the
area. Never could down one of those Rainier Ice things, reminded me of
Rainier Ale - the original - in a green bottle. It was horrendous ale,
not unlike Mickey's big mouth ale. Only worse, and a higher alcohol
content.



Small world! My youngest brother was a Wildcat. And Ellensburg is
growing like crazy these days. Was just there two weeks ago. Good luck
on trying to find a house for sale if you want to move back.

Henry Weinhardt's Private Stock is a very good slightly more expensive than cheap, beer.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at June 23, 2018 11:15 PM (a2xQ5)


When Henry's came out in the late 1970's, it took on a bit of a cult-like, or underground-like feeling about it. The bottles are the same as now, except they numbered their bottlings. At the top of the bottle where there is now a tiny label with a design, that design used to be a number. The earliest number I recall was in the 20's, IIRC. Last number I remember was 150. The race was to be the first with the new number. Then, it was "do you still have any of those old bottles with the low numbers?"

That was years ago, now they just have that little design. More useless information from me. You're welcome. And cheers.

407 Old New Orleans beer memory:

Dixie was the last surviving local brewery. They made decent German-American beer. They also canned the "store brand" beer for K&B Drugstores (a sadly gone local chain). So if you really wanted to freak out the beer snobs, you'd show up with a 6-pack of purple-and-gray K&B Beer cans, because it was the same as Dixie only cheaper.

It originated from the military trying to mathematically compute the affect of wind chill on equipment and machinery, (think Alaska or the arctic) aka the Wind Chill Factor, and keeping it operable.

The military finally dumped it because there was no consistent formula. I don't know how they resolved the issue.

420 >> the Brits gave him a big elaborate funeral to show their respect. That war was pretty weird.

Not weird at all. It's a matter of honor, and respecting a worthy foe.

A ex-neighbor of mine, Konrad, was German immigrant, who came back to the country after WWII. He was a U-boat crewman who was captured in the Atlantic, off our coast, and spend the rest of the war in a POW camp in Georgia.

He loved it so much he didn't want to leave, and when he was sent back, he immediately went to work on coming back.

He told the story of their capture. Their boat was damaged and going to sink after a battle. Their captain surrendered his ship, and they were taken aboard one of our ships.

The German captain was the last enemy man taken aboard, waiting to make sure all of his men were taken care. Konrad described how they were standing there, scared out of their wits and wondering what was going to happen to them.

And then he was amazed. The German captain was piped aboard with full honors respecting his rank, and his position as master of a ship. All our officers stood at attention and saluted as the German captain came aboard.

He then, with dignity, walked over to our captain, who had come on the deck to receive him. He walked up to him, and rendered a snappy salute.

Our captain them stood ramrod straigh, returned the salute, and returned it smartly and respectfully.

They then shook hands. The captains spoke a bit, and, with permission, the German captain addressed his men, telling them they had done their duty, he was proud to have commanded such a fine crew, and the war was now over for them.

Now, do what the Americans tell you, and you will be taken care of, as Capt. Whoever has just given me his assurances.

He then turned, and was led away by our Capt. You can rest assured he was given a full high class treatment befitting of his rank.

That's honor among warriors.

First off, the daughter that I have not seen in 25 years is here for her uncle's wedding and I have been able to meet her husband and the four grandchildren that I knew I had but had never met. That in itself was worth the 22 hour drive.

But the reason for the trip was to attend my brothers wedding, which was this evening. It rained all day yesterday and the wedding was supposed to be held outside. Last night the rain went away and this morning dawned bright and clear. It was a bit warm but otherwise it was a perfect day and the wedding went off without a hitch.

Well maybe with one hitch, the one between my brother and his new wife. Anyway, it all went very well.

Hopefully the rest of you are having a good weekend as well.

On occasion, as a treat, I used to buy a six pack of Sapporo Lager, or Newcastle Ale.

No more, though. The only versions to be found of either are the Canadian brewed "Sapporo", and the U.S. brewed "Newcastle".

Both are poor imitations of the originals.

That's one thing I loathe about the global beer industry. They ruin every classic, damn near every time.

'60s & '70s Schlitz was damn near ambrosia. Then, they cheapened the recipe in the '80s, and it hasn't been fit to drink, ever since.

Hamm's & Olympia used to be delicious, back in the '60s. Now? Olympia is brewed at the Lone Star brewery in San Antonio. It's kind of like beer, but it'd nothing like Olympia Beer.

MBAs should be shot on sight, anywhere within 100 yards of a brewers' corporate offices.

No disrespect to any MBAs here in Teh Horde.

But do please stay away from the beer, other than the drinkage thereof?

publius - your ex-neighbor's tale of being taken prisoner in WWII was pretty typical, at least at sea. He wasn't on U-505, was he? The one taken intact on June 4, 1944, leading to a decision taken at the top (Gen. Marshall) to tow it back to the US, risking German discovery their code updates/settings were likely compromised?


That U-boat crew had a unique experience. Well treated, but denied Red Cross privileges of correspondence - their captivity was kept secret to protect the code-breaking value of the incident. And of course you can tour U-505 today in Chicago.


The father of a Moron, Capt. Charles, was a U-boat crewman in the Baltic. A lucky one. 33,000 crewmen lost, 781 boats, one of the highest loss rates for any branch/specialty of any belligerent in WWII.

464 Jim Sunk N.D. speak big truth, and the usually erudite Art of Manliness is as full of shit as Greg Gutfeld on this beer issue. The whole story of "premium" beers replacing locals is misrelated over there.

The biggest companies didn't just ship in ice-packed boxcars. Brewers underwrote the development of the compressor/evaporator chiller process that eventually led to home refrigerators and air conditioning. Thanks, brewers!

But, local beers that were aged "cave cool" were nowhere near as fast and cheap to make as big factories with huge mechanicals. This was not a "We love corn and rice" recipe choice, what a crock, literally. You want a real laugh, get them going about "Krausening" or "Beechwood aging."

465 Cicero, as you are of course aware, *any* Soviet POW was grossly mistreated by the Germans (eventually, if not at every stage and by everyone), so Marinesko's experience might have been typical if he were caught. Typical as in one immediately murdered, like commisars, Jews, and a few other categories.

It seems that some of those people are extreme narcissists. I was going to various videos on youtube the other night and came on one that was a Piers Morgan interview with Ryan O'Neill about accusations his children have made.

Whether the accusations were true or not, O'Neill came across as just awful. 3 of his 4 children were really screwed up. One said that his dad gave him cocaine when he was 11.

477 CBD, I first came across the Napier quote in one of Stephen Jay Gould's essays.

Now, Dr Gould was a fabulous researcher in marine and terrestrial molluscs, and was very good at explaining evolutionary biology, and pre-adaption and punctuated equilibrium, but on review some of his views of history were a bit one sided.

He used that quote as a way to describe the coarsening of academia and the world in general since it showed such a nice, complete and classical understanding of the world in the past by mere military men, when on reflection it probably showed that Dr. Gould liked a nice story that supported his opinion.

516 Fritz Maytag was the first brewer to underwrite recipe recovery from residues, Egyptian funerary casks. He was a real pioneer.

The thing with truly ancient beer is, some Austrian monks experimented with many different preservatives, and came up with hops no earlier than 800 AD, and then it took a while for that to catch on. So most really old recipes are going to taste pretty flat to us, much as we say we hate hops.

She's doing a lot better. She still doesn't have a lot of strength on her right side, but it is steadily improving.

I can't call her room because she can't speak, yet.

The nurses have been using Flash-Cards with basic words, so as to allow her to practice.

The clot has been cleared, the stent is in and I hope for the best.

How about "none of the above"? Depends a lot upon what vehicle you want to service, and how deep into you want to go. In many cases, a simple internet search will yield up the precise information you need. I fixed the transmission in my '97 Suburban that way not long ago.

There is also Mitchell on-line, which is what the pros use. My local small-town public library has a subscription, and as a library member, I can log in using that ID (from home here, even!) and download Mitchell's pages relevant to my query.

But the paper Haynes manual is probably the most practical portable solution. They are written to be used by fairly knowledgeable amateurs. The factory manuals assume you work in a dealership, and have the full range of factory-approved tools at your disposal. You probably don't have J-9576a in your toolbox.

The English had the same problem, and they solved it with a similar lack of finesse. "Corn" already generically referred to any coarse grain, or even salt. When they were introduced to corn ("corn, this is the English; English, corn") they just slapped on the first handy label they had. Corn.

This is why "corned beef" has nothing to do with maize-corn. It refers to salt. Also, this is how the Romans could have a corn dole 1500 years before the Old World knew about maize-corn.

The #1 definition is a turd that has been sitting in the toilet for at least 3 days, which you find when entering a restroom.

Another definition is the term of a group of lesbians. Like "gaggle" or "flock".

So, a group of lesbians is a dungaree of lesbians.

In my experience, it results in many mosquito bites in places you really don't want to scratch when you are in public. Also can result in sunburn in especially undesirable spots and grass or sand in butt. Being nekkid in the great outdoors is not as much fun as you think. Clothes exist for a reason besides modesty and keeping warm.

Posted by: Anthony Weiner, Down at the Farm at June 24, 2018 01:34 AM (/pt8Q)


7.62mm is also just short of 1 barleycorn (0.9). It's related to another archaic unit, the line (1/10" in this case), which is why some Russian sources call the Mosin-Nagant (7.62" or 0.3") the "three line rifle".

689 Regarding the beer article, and Jim's caveats:

As I understand it, there used to be hundreds of local breweries all over the U.S., and most of them were put out of business by Prohibition. Some hung on by producing alcohol for medical and industrial purposes.

When that long national nightmare ended, the survivors went back to brewing beer and there were still lots of local and regional brands. The first beer I ever had was Hudepohl when my dad gave me a sip in the backyard after mowing the lawn. I also remember the Hudepohl sign on the left field wall at Crosley Field.

Later on when we moved to the Philadelphia area, I remember him drinking Schaefer. ("Schaefer is the one beer to have when you're having more than one.")

When I started drinking in college, I initially drank Miller. Being on the East Coast, I remember the mystique of Coors being rare and exotic. Hunter S. Thompson also helped fuel the Coors cult. We all read his books.

Later on in the 80s I switched to Rolling Rock as my beer of choice. My friends and I found a store that sold imported beers, and what a revelation that was! Of course they were expensive as hell, so they were an occasional treat.

Eventually I gravitated towards Yuengling's Chesterfield Ale as my daily go-to beer. It's a good combination of tasty and inexpensive.

I don't feel like researching it, but I think it was during the Carter Administration when the laws governing homebrewing were relaxed, which led to the growth of the microbrews and craft brews. At first a trickle, they grew to a torrent. We are truly living in a golden age of beer, with a dizzying array of varieties and recipes that was unimaginable 50 years ago.

The name and label must have been a hat tip to "1984" with Winston Smith's Victory Gin and Victory Cigarettes. Today that company produces quite an amazing number of varieties. I don't know how well-known they are outside of the Philly area.

708 what happened was i accidentally grabbed (jump to top of page) when i copied my text...

deleted it before hitting "poast" but it went there anyway.

i've got NoScript. i can block mu.nu and still read the blog?

who knew... and yes, i have close tags in my sig, even though i never use tags. i've stopped a barrelling once or twice since i added them, just by random poasting at the right time.

Posted by: redc1c4 at June 24, 2018 02:20 AM (Mw954)

709 Yes, redc1c4. Blocking mu.nu will prevent the large spaces in-between paragraphs.

Only do that after you've read the content, else enable it after you've got a "First!"... lol.

Without mu.nu, you won't see any videos, nor can you see certain content.

That doesn't matter when you're in the comments, however.

Haha, oh I get it... s'alright, lol.


Have looked at 'factory' manuals, and they call out all these (otherwise normal, common tools) by some factory-issued number...

It keeps the shade-trees confused, or slows them down, I guess. At least keeps *regular folk* from (saving HUGE $$$$$) working on their own rigs.

719 Do not buy beer from the big three. It's not because of the taste or the cheapness. It's because of the three-tier beer distribution system put in place after prohibition. These companies send an army of lobbyists to Washington to protect that system. The three-tiered distribution system allows the big three to stock about 3/4 of your local grocer's beer aisle with their brands, crowding out the independents. It is also the reason it is incredibly difficult to buy beer in most places directly from the brewery. Since all beer has to go through a distributor, and that distributor adds a handling charge, it drives up the price of the smaller breweries.

It's not about taste or price. It's about competition. The big three are doing everything they can to prevent it.

721 "if the hen person really had moral convictions, she would have been like the cake bakers, who told the gay folks privately they could not bake their cake. if the bakers had behaved as the hen person, they would have accepted the order (as she did by taking the reservation and then seating the SHS party), but on the wedding day show up and say, "sorry, moral convictions: no cake" and, then, posted photos on social media of their cake order, which they cancelled."

People could always make reservations, eat, pay up, then ostentatiously not tip, leaving a note that says "f you, bigots. MAGA"

No harm, no foul.

I should think a convoy of morons could show up, piss all over the corners of the building, and on the front porch, and then claim to identify as dogs marking territory, because they idolize the restaurateur so much.

WI has a Tavern League, who make sure most grocery stores have to stop selling alcohol in the evening -9 PM here- and so if you didn't stock up, you've got to drink at the bars.

Hmmm, wonder if that might have something to do with the lax view on driving under the influence in WI...

Agqain in WI, Walmart, Target, Shopko and Meijer all have alcohol sections in many/most (?) stores.

Then again, so do most gas stations.

It's probably what makes the climate, taxes and insane denizens of Madison almost tolerable.

Or at least leaves many not sober enough to leave.

I don't think WI has that, I know someone who wanted to open one and was turned down for a liqueur license.

But you can get a beer here in town while watching Jurassic World 2, or any other film not named Soylo at the (non arthouse) theater. Or maybe with enough beers you'll be talked into watching Soylo and won't notice.

The problem is the progressive marxists need a constant supply of enemies. And like any mob movement, they eventually come back around and eat their own. Some dipshit named Zaretsky at the Atlantic tried to debunk Ann Coulter's book Demonic by going after one of her main cites, Gustav LeBon. From what I read of his article, he basically proves her point, without a hint of self awareness. I used to think that elitism meant you had to possess intellect. I was wrong. Today's "elite" are anti intellectual, they just get paid well to illustrate their ignorance and look down on others.
