WATER TOWERS

If you've ever had to haul a can of paint to the top of a water tower to defend your sister's honor, you might be a redneck. – Jeff Foxworthy

Cleverly painted water towers are yet another form of art that is better and more creative than most any modern art taking up space in art galleries.

SURVEY MANIA

Management Consultants have unleashed some awful trends on corporate America. The obsession with consumer surveys is one of them.

Companies, indeed, often seek qualitative performance data for internal personnel reasons — to calculate bonus structures, for example, and gauge whom to promote and whom to fire. The pressure to harvest anything less than top rankings can result in awkward conversations between employees and customers

If businesses wanted to genuinely know how they can improve their product, that would be fine, but since frontline employees get punished over less-than-perfect survey results, those employees are incentivized to get results that hide actual areas that need improvement. Even worse, too many corporate executives with a “zero defects” mentality have made “100% Satisfied” the minimum acceptable score, therefore their employees end up pleading with customers for perfect survey scores. And coincidentally, having employees plead with customers to send back surveys with perfect scores is actually a huge customer dissatisfier.

MRS. THROCKMORTON’S FAIRNESS DOCTRINE

Mrs. Throckmorton has observed that I occasionally put a little bit of cheesecake in my posts when I have the privilege of doing an ONT. She has had to remind me that it’s not really fair to the ‘ettes of the ONT if I don’t include, say, a David Cassidy picture if I’m going to post a Farrah Fawcett picture.

So tonight, in compliance with Mrs. Throckmorton’s Fairness Doctrine, I am not only going to feature some singing lovelies from Hee Haw…


…but for you ‘ettes, here is some singing beefcake from the same show.

THAT ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT

Do any of you remember Lyle Waggoner from Wonder Woman, or before that The Carol Burnett Show? Did you know he’s the brainchild behind the luxury trailers that actors hang out in while on studio lots?

Star Waggons and the Reinvention of the Celebrity Trailer

In the late 70s, during the production of Wonder Woman, Waggoner took notice of the shoddy trailers that the studio had rented for its stars to rest and prepare in. These small trailers were owned by locals and small businesses who were making plenty of cash off of renting them to stars like Waggoner. Waggoner concocted an ingenious plan: if he bought an entire fleet of high quality motorhomes and rented them to the studio, he could put some extra money in his pocket.

As his success grew, he was soon building his own.

Within a few years of starting Star Waggons, Lyle Waggoner had amassed enough money to begin building his own branded motorhomes and trailers. Over the decades, the company’s work became a staple of Hollywood culture. These days, it’s rare to find a production setup or a backlot without a fleet of Star Waggons’ motorhomes and trailers set up.

Lyle Waggoner died in 2020. Here is a photo* of him from his acting days.

PASSOVER LATKES IN GOEBBELS CASTLE

In Spring of 1945, a Jewish corporal from Brooklyn had the vindictive pleasure of preparing Passover latkes
in the vacation home of Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels.

Directly off the veranda, where I set up two gasoline camp-stoves, was a gigantic banquet room that would easily accommodate the 300 GIs I would feed. On one wall was a picture of Hitler and one of my buddies had scrawled “Kaput” across it. For the next two or three hours I was too busy to deal with emotions. They came later.

When all the latkes were fried and eaten, I joined my comrades in the Passover songs. We had seen the atrocities and now we were savoring some small measure of vengeance and victory.

The battalion’s Jewish chaplain, Joseph Shubow, understood that one of the (now forgotten) necessities when defeating an evil ideology is to discredit the evil by mocking and humiliating its leaders. Lt Shubow stated:

“This is indeed retribution. When this little monkey Goebbels decreed the burning of the synagogues seven years ago, he little imagined that we would one day eat potato pancakes in his own home.”

Our current Pentagon leadership - whose two main priorities seem to be social justice activism and not winning wars - would probably consider the Passover celebration in Goebbel’s home to be a war crime.

NOT QUITE THE GETTYSBURG ADDRESS

So, the best way to get something done…if you…if you, uhh, hold something near and dear to you that you, uhh…that you like to be able…uhh…anyway.” – Joe Biden 3/25/2021

THE GLOBAL WARMING HOAX

A disturbing part of the Global Warming hoax is that climate scientists routinely alter historical data to fit whatever current narrative they are pushing. Journalists aren’t smart enough to check the “scientists” on their dishonesty, even if they had an interest in doing so, which they apparently don’t. So, the fraudulently altered data gets reported as a fact.

In 1958 the NY Times reported that average ice thickness in the Arctic Ocean at that time was 7-feet thick. The source? Scientists.

By 1999 when we were reaching peak global warming hysteria from Al Gore, the NY Times reported that from 1958 to 1976 the average thickness of Arctic sea ice was 10-feet. The source? “Scientists.”

So, to sell the hysteria about thinning Arctic sea ice, the climate scientists retroactively – and fraudulently - adjusted historical ice thickness records so that they could state that current ice thickness has declined dramatically in the past several decades. “Climate science” is a fraud.

THE WISDOM OF WILL ROGERS

There are three kinds of men. The one that learns by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.

All I know is just what I read in the papers, and that's an alibi for my ignorance.

There is nothing so stupid as the educated man if you get him off the thing he was educated in.

It isn't what we don't know that gives us trouble, it's what we know that ain't so.

The only difference between death and taxes is that death doesn't get worse every time Congress meets.

Too many people spend money they haven't earned to buy things they don't want to impress people they don't like.

A fool and his money are soon elected.

There's no trick to being a humorist when you have the whole government working for you.

REPURPOSED TUNES

If you were raised Christian and attended Sunday School, you almost certainly have memories of singing “Jesus Loves The Little Children.” The tune is actually from the Civil War song “Tramp Tramp Tramp” written in 1864 by George Root. It is sung from the perspective of Union troops being held as prisoners of war, singing with hope about the boys in blue who will come liberate them.

Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! The boys are marching,
Cheer up comrades they will come,
And beneath the starry flag we shall breathe the air again,
Of the free land in our own beloved home.


Here is the Mormon Tabernacle Choir’s version of Tramp, Tramp, Tramp



Here is Jesus Loves The Little Children

THROCKMORTON’S FIRST LAW OF LIVE MUSIC: IF THERE’S AN UPRIGHT BASS IN THE BAND, IT’S PROBABLY GOING TO BE GOOD

Did you know that Kenny Rogers played the upright bass? Neither did I until just recently. Here are Willie Nelson and Kenny Rogers singing “Blue Skies” with Kenny Rogers playing the upright bass. Watch at the 2:30 mark when Kenny does a solo on the bass.


Here’s another clip of Kenny Rogers playing upright bass, this time teaming up in a jazz combo with David Foster. I’m thinking the host may be Suzanne Somers.

13 Watched the segment about Swanson frozen turkey dinners a few weeks ago on Foods that Made America.

He was a risk taker and also driven to succeed, and saw the need for people wanting to sit down and watch that new fangled thing called a television while eating dinner without cooking. Only after almost going broke first.

Sold out to Campbells, and still ran the company. Tucker's wife is a grand daughter. There is a lot of money in frozen dinners.

17 Nearby town had big plans to paint the water tower. They held a design contest and awarded a winner. At that point the owners of the tower and land it was on, a local Indian tribe, said "Nah, bro."

Another great leap forward for government work. This is the same town that paid north of $30,000 for a ransomware hit.

I remember the last time I went to DisneyLand or World (think it was Land, so maybe 25 years ago, so 1996ish) so much of the park seemed to be like a 60's time capsule. The artistic choices. Color schemes. Right next to the Pirates of the Caribbean ride was the ... Polynesian Room (or tiki hut or whatever they called it.)

I actually really liked that feel. It had the feel of the early, space age, hopeful 60's, not the dark, nihilist later 60's.

83 It's ONT time, eh?

Up in my town, Smallville, years ago, they built a big water tank. It was too fenced and guarded and visible to get graffiti'd.

But when they built a second water tower next to the first, they prominently labeled the old one "COLD" and the new one "HOT".

When they more recently put in a third tank between the other two, it was, naturally, labeled "WARM". Not the cleverest nor most exotic of water tower art, but pretty good for Smallville. Unexpected sense of humor penetrated some bureaucracy.

And, of course, tourists ask... are they, really?? Hahahaa duh.

Okay, "Buck" (if that's your real name), what other content do you have for me on Mother's Day Eve ONT? (Jump to top of page - oh, still doesn't really....)

Posted by: LeftCoast Dawg at May 08, 2021 09:06 PM (sy5kK)

Frozen dinners are for people who can't cook.
My mom was that person, and we lived on tv dinners for a year during my early teen years...and I admit that the food was the best of my childhood...until my sis and I watched that newfangled Food Network and learned how to cook and took over dinners - my dad always said the day we did was one of the best of his life...

Funny enough, we ended up teaching my mom how to cook...so, when we went to college, dinner didn't suffer that much...

I found out today there is boob tape. I was looking through daily deals at amazon and they had one brand, there are multiple. I think there's even one simply named "boob tape". Customers post their pictures there and these are best avoided. Most boobs that require tape, bondo, spackle, or j-b weld, are not in their prime. There are descriptions on the box noting its application with regards to high-energy boob activity like dancing or aerobics with low-cut outfits.

Fun fact, for a short time in about 1967 Swanson tried marketing a whole line of "International Dinners." There was a Mexican, an Italian, the Polynesian shown above, and... a German, complete with spatzle. Bet that last one didn't sell super well.

253 OK, so tomorrow is Mothers' Day. I sent Lady YD and the girl away to a hotel today with my credit card to have a "girls' day out," while I take care of the baby and our ingrate son.

While they were gone, I did a bunch of dude chores... I fixed our gate and front door earlier in the week because it was a needful thing, and today I modified the baby's crib so she can't climb out, and I bolted the steel babygates to the doorjambs.

Ah, baby gates. I was so happy the day I removed all of those. I did get pretty good at traversing the house though. They were pretty much crotch height if you didn't tippy-toe. But with mini hurdles and leg swings, I could go from the bedroom through the living room into the kitchen quick enough. I probably looked like a spy trying not to hit tripwires. And the cabinet safety hardware. And I had to ducktape our entertainment console drawers which were baby height. So glad to be done with all that. Getting her to do her math homework and clean up her plates after dinner is a lot easier than all that.

Good luck on the big day. I took my kid shopping for Mother's day gifts. First time I've been in a mall in a long while. It fatigued me.

(I overmixed it last time trying to thin it--not realizing it was supposed to be very thick). Also I learned a bit about folding in egg whites, so hopefully these will taste good and look good. Hopefully my buttercream will be an imprivement as well. (I saved it in the freezer, its onlyflaw was lumps from not fully coming up to rm temp)

I can be taught by the deep shame of wasted food.

You familiar with a band called The Ocean Blue? They're from Hershey, PA and put out their debut album in 1989. They got a lot of airplay on WHFS (Baltimore / Washington radio station) at the time. But then they got caught in the wave of "modern rock" that was essentially wiped away by grunge.

Anyway, I am a big fan of The Ocean Blue. Was listening to them earlier today. I think you'd like them.

As a teen, I used to love the morning and evening papers, front page to the comics in the back.

------------

Me too. I remember one day, when I was maybe fifteen, I read about the Taliban making Hindus wear a triangle-shaped patch, in the Denver Post. Back when papers carried news.

I said to my dad, while we were having coffee, "I bet we're going to end up at war with these particular people."

That was during Clinton's second term. I didn't really understand *why* we'd be at war with them... it's not like I saw 9.11 coming. But I knew we would, because this vile shit was showing up in the papers.

I don't think the papers have that kind of influence today.

Whereupon the D.I., rather than stomping a mudhole in his ass, gives him a can of shaving goop (pretty sure it was Edge).

Yes, but a man would call it "a deep-dish bacon-cheese omelet", not a "quiche".

Just like we call our lower clothing "pants", "slacks", or "trousers", rather than "capris".

Posted by: Dave in Fla at May 08, 2021 11:34 PM (mgXjw)

I think this is rather common. I was look at what laughably passes for a music selection at a Wally the other day and realized how few bands, even ones that (well, in the old days, before the fall of the Rona and Republic0 would do stadium shows have more then 2 or 3 albums before fading into the County Fair circuit.

I saw an album from 3 Doors down of "Greatest Hits" and realized any released single that made the top 250 chart can technically go on a "greatest hits" album compared to a groups other non charting songs and not be a complete lie.

A few of them were never photographed without the mask on. Some were even buried in them. Some put on the mask a few blocks from the event, and only removed them a few blocks away from the event so other wrestlers didn't even know what they looked like.

708 @686 Alberta Oil Peon-When me and my ex-wife were together we attempted to make the move back to Nevada where I'm from. I didn't want to raise my kids here. Harry Reid had two coal fire power plants that were slated to go in near Gerlach and Ely, Nevada while I was working on two natural gas co-gens east of Reno cancelled for environmental concerns. That would have provided work for five years.
Now the other day from my union local I got an urgent notice to sign a pre-written letter from my hall trying to stop the politicians and enviros. The Bay Area Air Quality Management Office is going to impose emissions standards that are impossible for refineries to meet. In other words they want the refineries shutdown. They may make my decision to get out of California for me as I will probably be jobless.

as long as they vote Repub they are ok by me. You only see a tiny handful of states moving to the right. There are likely more than that but only a few stand out over the last ten or so years. You have FL, WV, TN, OH, and really that is about it. There are certainly others, but if ID becomes a half percent more Repub, that will not show up.

OTOH, we have deep blue VA, trending blue NC, and blue GA. To be honest, I doubt I will ever call out FL as long as they vote against the Commies. I won't live there, but I will support them.

But, it's got to be from those IGNIGHTED nights. Memorial Day Thread kind of things. Lesser, "election night" posts are sadly, disallowed, as being political bellowing, no matter how witty, sharp or cutting.

A Round Table Thread must be a stand alone and thrilling, invigorating, frightening and addicting thing, all of it's own. We have not enough of those, here.

769 I shot 71 twice in my life. One was at Algonkian GC in NOVA and the other time was at the Medal of Honor course at Quantico. If I went out today, I likely would not break 90. Well I hope I would even though I haven't seriously played in decades. My clubs were the newest thing ever in 1992. I am not a club tech guy as some are.

ba doom ba! There is a reason they call it a good walk spoiled. Feinstein wrote a good book by the same name. Yeah I know, he is a major lib and not only that, a true jack ass. But he can write at times, his book on Bobby Knight and the Hoosiers was pretty good too. I love that even Feinstein admits he loves golf, and the golf word, but they are all Repubs and he is a major lib.

A better writer was Dan Jenkins. Anything by Jenkins is worth reading. He is a Texas boy, who has passed on. The guy had serious writing chops.

780 Quint. Either of those boys would out-write me in golf, in ways that I would out-write them in shooting in ways they've never imagined.

We have our niche. Shooting wise, I'm adequate at the line, but oddly, a bit more than that when teaching or coaching.

I LOVE IT when folks I've helped go on to do well, or better than well, when they're at the line, themselves.

comparative advantage. That is how this system works. Sure many want to F it up, but in the end it is about comparative advantage. You do what you are best at, some other guy does what he is best at, and so on and so on. Yeah now there are lots of other concerns, we can be a silly people.

788 Miklos. I got installed into Who's Who of Professionals in '95, from a convention presentation(s) I gave about Managers cutting through the Buzzword BS, and putting equal weight onto THEIR career goals, as they did in terms of advancing the goals of the subordinates, as was the trend of the day.

The fact that I did, absolutely fried the boardroom of the NYSE Fortune 1000 company that had just eliminated my entire department, despite coming in for the fiscal year at 117% of quotaed revenue, and 93% of budgeted expense.

That CEO is passed and long since gone to his "reward". But I'm still friends with many in the .org, and well.. it's like Trump. They wish for '24, so to speak. Nah, I'm never going back. Closed chapter, period.

I am trying to find something about Dorothy Parker and Sam Goldwyn. She wrote for his studio, and I seem to remember some famous exchanges she had with Goldwyn.

Goldwyn was a legend. He's the "G" in MGM. And he was a master of malapropisms, like Yogi Berra. Goldwynisms, they're called. A few well know ones:

Include me out.
A verbal contract isn't worth the paper it's written on.
Anyone who goes to a psychiatrist should have his head examined.
Our comedies are not to be laughed at.
We need some new cliches.

793 Milos. Further. The present CEO is the former's daughter. She grew up with the business, and pad dues in many of it's disciplines.

She's smart, sharp, educated, experienced, seasoned and MORE than ready to have taken on the role of President and CEO. If I were still with the company, I'd give about 120% of a damn about what she had to say, and likely obey about 99.9% of what she said "do". Think of her as a former Marine in the Boardroom, and you won't have gone far wrong.

"Spare no expense to save money!" is another one of his. There is a long list of these. Anyway, he and Dorothy Parker had some encounters. He said something about all these damned writers do nothing but change the words.

And finally, Sam at one time spoke wisdom, "If you want to send a message, call Western Union. Don't call me."

Same umbrella organization. Different nomination, confirmation and admission criteria.

The Professional listings, you needed more recommendations from peers already admitted. The Student listings, you needed grades. Objectively, the student listings were harder to achieve, but more densely populated. The professional listings, more rare, and the recommendations more tightly screened. In all, a wash?

showed up in Budapest and Prague. They expected it to be like Paris in
the 20s.



In some respects it was, but the production of quality literature was minimal.

I remember that time. After my first Euro Tour, or Grand Tour around that time, all we talked about for next time was Prague. I recall when it was the hottest thing, at least among wannabe expat travelers. I do recall the shine wore off after a few years. Nothing against Prague, but it was on the the next new thing. I do think Hungary was next btw.

You know, Sam Goldwyn and Yogi Berra made a lot of messes with language, malapropisms, non-sequiturs, paradoxes, etc, but in every case, you knew exactly what they meant.

Their meaning was clear, they just phrased in crazy ways. One might say they were masters of communication, cause you knew what they meant, and you'd never forget it.

no question about Berra. I don't think people were making fun of him. If they were, there were the ones not in on the joke. The Berra stuff is famous because for the most part, it is all true. I need to look up Goldwyn, I know the name of course but don't recall the quotes.

Tim Russert did an interview with Yogi one time, and asked him about those crazy sayings. Yogi didn't really understand what all the fuss was about. And then it hit me, if he did, he wouldn't have said stuff like that.

Sam Goldwyn and Yogi were cut from the same cloth as far as this talent.

Yogi once said, giving directions, "When you come to a fork in the road, take it."

And that was exactly right. There was a fork in the road, and either one would take you right to the destination.
