Saturday Overnight Open Thread (1/26/19)
Need a place to live? For a small fee and a letter you could become Alberta Oil Peon's neighbor. J/K
On the market for a new home? This one comes with a hefty discount. This week, a homeowner in Alberta, Canada announced she’d sell her home, worth an estimated $1.7 million, in exchange for a $19 USD entry fee and a letter, explaining why they deserve it. Despite the 5000-square foot home’s wine cellar, library, chef’s kitchen, and lake-side view, Alla Wagner, the homeowner in question, has had trouble selling the property, citing Alberta’s unsettled real estate market. In a Facebook post, she described her health as the motivation for ultimately needing to sell it.
For the fans of Valentine's Day I have some bad news for you. Sweetheart candies are not available this year.
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder. That adage may be put to the test this Valentine’s Day, when consumers realize the popular Sweethearts candy — you know, the little sugar hearts with messages such as “Kiss Me” and “Be Mine” — won’t be on store shelves. New England Confectionery Company — or Necco — made the conversation hearts, which have been a staple of Valentine’s Day gifts for decades. But Necco had a tumultuous 2018, abruptly shutting down in July after an investment firm bought it from a bankruptcy auction. It got new life when it was subsequently bought by Spangler Candy Co. in September, but by then it was apparently too late to restart production and distribution in time for Valentine’s Day.
They say necessity is the mother of invention, but when said necessity involves winning an arms race and avoiding nuclear catastrophe, you can count on the birth of way too many inventions! This pressure to create is sure to generate some world-changing ideas, but it’s also highly likely you’ll wind up with a whole bunch of nonsense.
If you're a regular, you knew it was coming. If you're new to The ONT, enjoy!
When you were a kid, did you ever write to a business looking for something? Meet Patch Hurty
Patch Hurty was five when he found the Ford badge on the side of the road near his house in Connecticut. He loves cars, so he was pumped about this find—car names were some of the first words he was learning to read, and now he had a badge of his own from a real car
A ray of hope in the Alzheimer's battle. The cause may be dental care.
If you bled when you brushed your teeth this morning, you might want to get that seen to. We may finally have found the long-elusive cause of Alzheimer’s disease: Porphyromonas gingivalis, the key bacteria in chronic gum disease. That’s bad, as gum disease affects around a third of all people. But the good news is that a drug that blocks the main toxins of P. gingivalis is entering major clinical trials this year, and research published today shows it might stop and even reverse Alzheimer’s. There could even be a vaccine. Alzheimer’s is one of the biggest mysteries in medicine. As populations have aged, dementia has skyrocketed to become the fifth biggest cause of death worldwide. Alzheimer’s constitutes some 70 per cent of these cases and yet, we don’t know what causes it.

Three people were arrested on drug charges following an investigation into a man pleasuring himself in a Dover Target dressing room with the door open, city authorities announced Friday. According to authorities, officers were dispatched to the Target at 148 John Hunn Brown Road on both Saturday, January 19, and Thursday, January 24, 2019, for reports of a man they identified as Lewis Foreman, 23, of Dover, masturbating in a fitting room while the door was open. In both cases, he fled the store in a gold Jaguar.
Jayme Closs is a survivor. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.
Jayme Closs, the 13-year-old girl who spent 88 days in captivity after her parents were shot dead in northwest Wisconsin, will receive $US25,000 ($35,270) in reward money pledged for information leading to her safe return. Hormel Foods, a Fortune 500 company based in Minnesota, put up the money last October, doubling the reward promised by the FBI after Closs disappeared on October 15. The girl's parents had worked for a local turkey plant operated by Jennie-O Turkey Store, which is a Hormel subsidiary.
Tonight's ONT has been brought to you by The NSA.

I hope this ONT ends up better than last night. Gonna be harsh here, so if you're sensitive, scroll on by.
One person in particular reminded me of "Stuck On Stupid". Their shtick is similar, except this one just rolls it out *one night only* from time to time, then disappears while SOS did it all every day for like 3 weeks. Didn't buy SOS's stuff after about a week and I don't buy any of this stuff either. (At least SOS was interesting. TP is an attention whore.)
How does one go from "I'm a good girl I am", taking their church clothes on a trip to Europe so they can go to Mass (while visiting a man they have never met), to *new guy*, to "Mommy found my sexy lingerie" to "He hasn't texted me in 12 hours!!!!" (over and over and over again) to "I got boudoir shots taken and btw our sex life sux" in 2 years time and think no body here is gonna notice that you are either a fraud or bat$#!t crazy.
I can understand why some folks may find it amusing, but I never have been so glad to see a thread stomped. Tickled Pink is a weirdo. What kind exactly, I do not know. But for sure, weirdo.
Been waiting to get this off my chest for a while, but didn't want to offend anyone since so many are always "Hi TP!", "Howya doin'?" Maybe they are taken in, maybe they are playing TP. After last night, IDGAF. Go away TP.

I am still reeling from seeing, years ago, Spam sushi rolls/maki in a
Japanese department store in Hawaii. As though people would come along
and just buy such a thing. I suppose they must have, but why??
there used to be a hawaiian grill place here (called, iirc, "hawaiian grill"). they had a couple of spam dishes.
a few years ago, they moved from their original location right next to the local bargain chinese buffet place. i think their space has now been taken over by the chinese buffet.

Before I unveil my Pigskin Preview, however, I must say a few serious words here about a problem that, regrettably, has reached epidemic proportions in the world of sports in recent years. You know the problem I'm talking about, sports fans. I'm talking about male cheerleaders. I don't know where you grew up, but where I grew up, there were certain things a guy absolutely did not do, and cheerleading is about six of them. A guy who led cheers where I grew up would have been driven around for a couple of hours inside somebody's engine compartment. Most likely Steve Stromack's.

My favorite was the triple B-36.
B-36 had a very long range. But not far enough to hit Southern USSR from the Central US.
AF figured out they could take 3 B-36s and connect them - wingtip to wingtip - and that giant THING would be able to fly close enough to launch a (3?) small, fast fighter bomber carrying a nuclear bomb. After launch the triple B-36 would break apart and land somewhere.
The fighter bombers had enough range to make it back to Turkey.
The B-52, B-58 and such made this idea obsolete so it never got anywhere but WOW I'd like to see what it looked like on takeoff.

I admit February 1 is one for me.
On that date in 1980, I literally got my face punched in, and my nose SERIOUSLY broken, by an out-of-control bully in junior high.
Every year about this time, I think back...and am thankful I don't have to deal with that asshole, or people like him, so much anymore.

The fighter bombers had enough range to make it back to Turkey.

Posted by: ArthurK at January 26, 2019 10:46 PM (KbaGy)
I can't see how that would gain any range over a single B36, unless maybe they planned to fly with half the engines shut down. Plus an abortion like that would probably break up in the event it encountered turbulence. Not much strength in the wing tips, because there doesn't need to be.

I bought a can of Spam just to see if it was ... useful in any way or, even edible. It didn't seem to be. Lightly cubed and fried a bit, I tried to see if it was "OK" for maybe omelets or something. Not particularly. I like foods that don't spoil for camping and hiking and seeing what works as substitutes for snowy days or whatever. Fresh is always, always better of course, but.
Now condensed milk, and evaporated milk, is handy stuff. Evaporated milk makes a reasonable gravy for biscuits and sausage gravy, and those powdered pudding mixes, it doesn't do so well in some other things. It makes a reasonable hot cocoa mix, so does sweetened condensed. I refuse to buy the pre-mixed cocoa pouches.
The pilot bread was good because it could be loaded up with salami and cheese. Anything more than that is showing off. A lot of people like oatmeal and ramen, especially.

Well, that's one theory. He certainly did take nude pics of young girls (as did other Victorian photographers -- the belief at the time was that children were sexless and pure).
The other theory is that the hushed-up scandal has to do with him banging Alice's older sister (an older teen) or possibly Alice's mother.

As an aside, there used to be a bar in the Atlanta burbs called the Lemon Peel. It had a strip club for the men (with women strippers) on one end and another for the ladies (with male strippers) on the other. In the middle was a regular bar with pool tables.
Both of the strip sides ran timed sets, with intermissions of 45 minutes. In the late 80s, a decent looking guy could score with the horny ladies during those times like shooting fish in a barrel.

The Publix I frequent down here every few days has the best music I've ever heard in a grocery store. I'm talking about hearing Rush and Yes mixed in with a great variety of not-Top 40 stuff and classic rock. No modern music at all, thank goodness.
The first time I heard Rush over the store speakers, I stopped shopping and sought out the manager (who is smokin' hot, BTW) and told her that I was a musician and to keep playing whatever station that is. You just don't hear them in a grocery store.

iPhone X was $999 at release.
But it's deceptive to think of it as a phone that costs $1k, really. If all you want is a mobile phone that makes calls and can send and receive SMS text, you can get a $20 flip phone like AOP said. They're still around, only they're 1/6 of what they used to cost ten years ago. They work fine and the battery lasts a week on a charge. There's no GPS, no voice-activated assistant, and it doesn't know your credit card number.
If send and receive pictures, text, use GPS navigation, order take-out for lunch, pay for gas and beef jerky, post wisdom on the HQ, pay bills, watch movies, listen to music, and otherwise spend about 1-4 hours a day on your phone, it's not really a phone at that point, and it's not ridiculous to charge a lot for one that does all that. Some people don't really use full desktop or laptop computers anymore because they don't need them. But if you don't want to do all that on a phone, you can still get the flip phone.

I hope the setup is not too long for this story: I went to a high school that had an FM radio station, and often during study times the teacher would allow the radio to be played on the speakers. The student DJs would play requests.
One of my classmates was a kid named Dean. He had, well, a rather long, aquiline nose. One afternoon his buddies called in a request to play "You're the Biggest Part of Me" dedicated to Dean's nose. It played while we were in study hall.
He laughed so hard that he fell out of his seat.
God I miss the 1980s.

They used to be a lot cheaper but now not so much. The standards such as Wild Turkey, George Dickel etc are still cheap for their value but the new brands that come out all the time are trying to charge high end scotch prices.

I like scotches well enough, but the price is often prohibitive, and they can be wildly different in taste, and I never got the hang of it.
Always been a bourbon guy, but I like rye as well. Bulleit does both very well. Small batch bourbons are often very good, and not always terribly expensive. My go-to is Evan Williams, which is not expensive, but is vastly superior to Jim Beam.

Our keyboard player got a shot of some Scotch one night that tasted pretty good, but was so peaty I'd wake up in the morning and think I smelled that shot still. This went on for about a week. Strange. Don't recall the name, but he got it at a British tourist pub below our club.

I remember when ELP were brand new. And Yes. Teh Doobies, Steely Dan, Queen, The Police, Van Halen. Grew up listening to the Animals, the Stones and the Beatles, Dave Clark Five, Paul Revere and the Raiders and every other band from that era. You'd think they'd never play anything but country music in Alabama, but you'd be wrong. There was that, but it was mixed in with just about every other type of music you could think of. Not like today.
The first concert I attended was Herman's Hermits at one of those Cavalcade of Stars thingys with about 5 other groups.
It wasn't until I got moved to Huntspatch that I heard primarily country. But then, we young'uns were listening to Classical Rock (like ELP and Yes) stuff too, and would tune in the Grand Ole Opry live on Saturday nights from the Nashville station when we were cruising around looking for other musclecars to drag race.

Yup. Also, older Scorpions (Animal Magnetism and Lovedrive were excellent), Def Leppard, Saxon, the Heavy Metal Soundtrack, Black Sabbath (Dio), and older stuff like Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Thin Lizzy, Grand Funk, Pink Floyd, hell, even Kiss when they were good (1974-77).
Funny thing, Metallica was in existence by then, but had not reached us when we graduated. Thrash metal came later in my life. Even funnier, the first thrash band I bought was Testament's first album.
Went off on a tangent there.

I can't explain that one. Perhaps my memory of it is distorted, but it tells me that, at the end, as people were lying in the devastation that used to be the US, a distinctly Reagan-like voice came over the radio and essentially said that this was no problem, because the important thing was that we were still holding to our principles.
I took it as a slap at Reagan and his steadfast defense of the West and its principle of freedom, vs. the wonderful Lefty option of caving to the Soviets.

So take care of customer picking stuff up and then ask him what he wants. He wants the Straight Talk iPhone6. I tell him we are out. Next question is a bunch of spleef of him always coming to the store and we always out followed by when will we get anymore in. So politely tell him we might get some in tonight or tomorrow, we have no control of when stuff gets shipped.
Him and his posse leave so I think all is done. Nope. Next he corrals the photo guy who has returned. I walk in at this point as photo guy gets on phone to call for management and the customer goes ballistic accusing him of being a smart a$$.
I exit stage left to go help another customer because frankly all this is heading towards is more screaming. Take care of that customer and they are still hanging around counter. And no management. So I try to call, no answer. Tell him I will hunt down a manager. Go do so and find one over in Grocery. Give a quick rundown and we walk over there.
So guy starts ranting about how we don't know how to do customer service. That he owns two businesses and it shouldn't take a manager to tell him that the phones are no longer available.
I am standing there quietly thinking 'where did you learn your people skills? A$$holes-R-Us?'
Finally him and his posse go away. The assistant manager apologizes that no customer should act like that. My answer got a snort. I said, "I've been chewed up by Generals."

Thanks, Jim. Finger status: all present and accounted for. My hand was 2 feet away from the saw blade. I think what got me was a cube of wood, an inch and a half on each side, slung at me at a high rate of knots. Right between my eyes, which means it missed them both; my eyesight is A-OK. My nose and brow got cut, deeply, but no bleeding from inside my nose. So, basically, cuts and bruises. Could have been a lot worse. And it was all on me.

Per the comprehensive test ban treaties, it's now "illegal" to detonate a nuke for test purposes.
Supposedly we pushed that because our simulation software was so good we didn't need to do live tests anymore. So they think. Me, well, reality always had surprises.
Bad news it the Chicoms probably have stolen all that software.

Thanks, Miley! Did not have time to be scared. Was mostly mad at myself for having been stupid. When I took stock, and found I was bleeding, ran to bathroom and splashed warm water on the affected area, and then applied pressure via tissues to stanch the bleeding. Called a nearby friend to run me to the ER, than called my insurer. There never was any intense pain. Numb, it was.

I didn't get any bandages. The sutures pretty well closed up the wounds, so they just look like scratches now.
And I don't wear glasses anymore, save for sunglasses or readers.

Yep. The establishment and Deep State are keeping under wraps just how much the ChiComs have pwned us over the past few decades. They go nuts over phantom Rooskie collusion when they've been selling us out to the ChiComs for 30 pieces of silver for years.
One that pissed me off is the crown jewels of our nuke secrets. The non-spherical primaries on the MIRV warheads. The ChiComs got the plans for those.
Basically, the primary is an implosion type fission thingy. A spherical design is the simplest to do. The computational complexity for non-sperhical designs increases exponentially. We had that, and the ChiComs stole it. Non-spherical, egg-shaped primaries can better fit in the conical MIRV reentry vehicles, allowing them to be smaller and lighter and fit more on one missile.
That tech was the crown jewel of our nuclear secrets.
You can thank Bubba for that, IIRC.

I had to watch it as a school assignment.
I was fourteen or so at the time, and yes, it gave me nightmares.
Not of dying (dad was stationed at Pearl Harbor, so I knew we were a target), but of somehow surviving the initial blast just to die horribly of radiation poisoning.
Another movie you might want to watch is The Testament, which was made at around the same time as TDA.
The most disturbing movie regarding nuclear war has to be Threads, which was made by the BBC.

I don't know the age I was, maybe 14 or 15, when I found this book, the title was "The Effects of Nuclear Weapons" and was fairly technical. There was a lot I didn't understand, but I got the gist of a lot of it. Bottom line, nukes are bad juju.
Later, I discovered the Soviet targets in the Denver area. 1) The flagpole between the State Capital and the Civic Center. 2) The Rocky Mountain Arsenal (Chemical and Biological Weapons storage and testing). 3) Rocky Flats (Manufacturing site for Plutonium pits for thermonuclear weapons) 4) Lowry AFB (In the sixties still an active AFB, mostly training for TAC, but with runways long enough to accommodate B-52's) 5) Denver Federal Center (A crap ton of government agencies and workers) 6) Lockheed Martin facility in Waterton Canyon (Titan and Atlas missiles were tested and built there) 7) Stapelton Airport (Whose runways were long enough to accommodate B-52's).
The last was the most disturbing to me. The school I attended during the Cuban Missile Crises was less that a quarter mile from the runways at Stapelton. The only thing duck and cover would have done for me is to make me a more compact charcoal briquet.

In that down time, kids need to age-appropriate read for fun to help foster creativity as well. I was reading kids' versions of the classics quite young; I had a set of them, Ivanhoe being one I remember, along with some Hans Christen Anderson tales. Reading was fundamental (pun intended) in developing my sense of wonder and adventure, and I'd want to play-act that out. I fought as a cowboy with a hat and toy six-guns on my holster, staring down the black-hatted villain. I played the knight, fighting against the evil king (well, my neighbor actually, but you know what I mean). Reading allowed my imagination to run wild.
But then I used to read The Encyclopedia Britannica my parents bought for the house just for fun. I'd take down a volume, crack it open to a random page and start reading entries. With my Mom, it was either be constructively busy or there's a bedroom or a garage that needs cleaning. So I read. Still would rather read than clean. The more things change, . . .

At 15, I dropped out of high school and 'ran away from home'. Was months before returning. Parents were happy but still hurt; I was resentful and ran again for more months.
Then lived w g-parents for about a year before turning 18 and moving out for good (I thought). Jerbs fell through and I came 'home' but barely got along [again!] with mom and dad.
Long story short: I put my parents thru HELL, but they still loved me and helped me through.
Now, Dad needs me. Mom passed several years ago-- siblings live far away or work odd shifts.
I'm glad to do what I can for Dad. I owe him *that* and much more!

--Immediately buying into the leftard narrative at the drop of a hat rather than giving core Americans the benefit of the doubt when a story is too good to fact-check? C'mon, you're a Moron.
Hey, let's hear from some Dead White Christian Guy on this:
Suppose one reads a story of filthy atrocities in the paper. Then suppose that something turns up suggesting that the story might not be quite true, or not quite so bad as it was made out. Is one's first feeling, "Thank God, even they aren't quite so bad as that"' or is it a feeling of disappointment, and even a determination to cling to the first story for the sheer pleasure of thinking your enemies are as bad as possible? If it is the second then it is, I am afraid, the first step in a process which, if followed to the end, will make us into devils. You see, one is beginning to wish that black was a little blacker. If we give that wish its head, later on we shall wish to see grey as black, and then to see white itself as black. Finally we shall insist on seeing everything -- God and our friends and ourselves included -- as bad, and not be able to stop doing it: we shall be fixed for ever in a universe of pure hatred.
P.S. That dead white Christian male was C.S. Lewis

There's no doubt in my mind that's the case.
When I started grade school, I used to look forward to going to the big/central downtown library on Saturday mornings with my high school sister. I'd hit the kids section, then take the elevator to different floors on my own to explore the stacks, meeting my sister at a prearranged time at the check out area with any books I wanted checked out. That was actually fun for me then and to this day. I'll go the library for a specific author but I always end up wandering the stacks looking at book titles.

Those two nephews I mentioned earlier visited my ex and I for about a week one summer, 1990 I believe. They were something like 8 and 10 or 7 and 9. Anyway, I bought week-night upper deck front row behind the plate tickets for a Mets game, really good seats for the kids to get a whole view of the field and the action. When we got to our seats and looked out over the field, my younger nephew exclaimed, "It looks just like Nintendo!" "No, Michael, Nintendo looks just like THIS."

Definition of conservative? I subscribe to a similar definition as that of United States Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart who said he couldn't define pornography but he said he knew it when he saw it.

Anything out of the ordinary sets mom's demetia into high gear, but she actually slept thru the nite!
Sadly she asked me if she has ever met this person the 'party' is for.

What a great song.
Posted by: m at January 27, 2019 06:05 AM (xRJkg)
That song always makes me sad. Yet it does touch the emotions, unlike most of the pop drivel nowadays.
Always excepting Clean Bandit. Grace Chatto! Although her success and subsequent plastic surgery is to be regretted.
