Saturday Overnight Open Thread (1/27/23) Audience Participation Edition
A woman decided to give herself a big treat for her 70th birthday by staying overnight in a really nice hotel. When she checked out the next morning, the desk clerk handed her a bill for $250.00. She demanded to know why the charge was so high "I agree it's a nice hotel, but the rooms aren't worth $250.00 for just an overnight stay - I didn't even have breakfast!" The clerk told her that $250.00 is the 'standard rate,' and breakfast had been included had she wanted it. So she insisted on speaking to the Manager. The Manager appeared and forewarned by the desk clerk, announced: "This hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference center which are available for use."
"But I didn't use them." 'Well, they are here, and you could have."
He went on to explain that she could also have seen one of the in-hotel shows for which they were so famous."We have the best entertainers from the world over performing here."
"But I didn't go to any of those shows.." "Well, we have them, and you could have."
No matter what amenity the Manager mentioned, she replied, "But I didn't use it!" and the Manager countered with his standard response.
After several minutes discussion, and with the Manager still unmoved, she decided to pay, wrote a check and gave it to him.
The Manager was surprised when he looked at the check. "But Madam, this check is for only $50.00" "That's correct I charged you $200.00 for sleeping with me." "But I didn't!" "Well, too bad, I was here, and you could have."(H/T Hrothgar)
Gun thread Cob and all around good guy Weasel submitted this great impression.......
From our sharp shooting 'Ette Sharon, Willow's Apprentice: "This is long but a pretty amazing story. There were times it made me cry but all I could think about was how amazing and resilient the Israelis are. Towards the end, someone says It is not about her. It is about us. Exactly."
Longtime 'Ette Miley thought the following story would be good ONT fare, I can't argue. The curious case of the disappearing Hydrox cookies
Oreo, the Hydrox knockoff, has been accused of burying its competitor by scoring sweetheart deals with grocers. Does it wield too much power over smaller rivals Audrey Peard is searching for an elusive, chocolatey piece of Americana: a package of Hydrox cookies. She’s visited multiple grocery stores near her home in the Bronx, followed a Facebook group, and even talked to a manager at a production facility in El Segundo, California, about supply shortages. “Almost 30, 40 years I’ve been on the trail for Hydrox,” she says. “And it’s a dirty path, I tell you.”

A Colorado security guard was recently arrested after authorities discovered a severed human hand in his coat pocket. Solomon Martinez, 26, was booked into jail on suspicion of first-degree murder last week, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by The Pueblo Chieftain. Pueblo police said they responded to a report of a homicide at Fountain Creek south of Highway 47 on January 10. Officers found a deceased woman in the creek, who hasn't been publicly identified as of Thursday morning (January 1. A day before the gruesome discovery, Martinez's roommate contacted police about the security guard washing blood off himself with a car wash hose, the affidavit claims. The roommate also claimed Martinez asked for help digging a 10-foot hole, authorities wrote.

The iconic San Francisco store that inspired Toy Story is closing after 86 years. Jeffrey's Toys cited "the perils and violence of the downtown environment" and "inflation" as reasons for the closure.
In other words, it's another casualty of failed politics in California.

It's pretty obvious that toy stores should provide armed guards and machine gun positions.

At some point in either '22 or early '23, one of the ONTs had a link to a 4chan story about some college kids camping in the woods and encountering what sounded a lot like a skinwalker. I remember it being a pretty wild read, but now for the life of me I cannot track it down. Does anyone else remember reading this and have a notion about the exact time period?
I know, weirdly random/specific, like I said, but it's just bugging me.

NEW: Terror attack in Canada goes wildly underreported by the media where a man shot up Edmonton city hall as retaliation for what is going on in Gaza.
Last week, Bezhani Sarva was charged after shooting up & throwing a Molotov cocktail in the city hall building.
New footage shows Sarva explaining why he was going to carry out the attack.
One of the reasons was the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

There have been murderers who were caught because they opened their big, dumb mouths to people who had a conscience. There was a crime in a city where I used to live where 3 young men robbed a drug dealer. 2 of them killed the guy. The two imbeciles who killed him told their friends. It took the police less than two days to solve that one. The two guys got live without parole.

The syndrome is characterized by symptoms such as acute delusional states, hallucinations, feelings of persecution (perceptions of being a victim of prejudice, aggression, hostility from others), derealization, depersonalization, anxiety, as well as psychosomatic manifestations such as dizziness, tachycardia, sweating most notably, but also others, such as vomiting.
While the syndrome has been particularly noted among Japanese tourists, perhaps due to the way in which Paris has been idealised in Japanese culture, the syndrome has also affected travellers from other countries such as China, South Korea, and Singapore.

Today, after a night of more rain, Son drove out to try to pull his friend's truck out. Surprise, son's truck got stuck, too.
He asked if we could ask the folks who rent the pasture for help. Their tractor isn't working. Heh. Maybe tomorrow.
Loaned son my little red Nissan Frontier, so he'd at least have wheels to get to work, if he promised not to get it stuck in the mud, too.!!
No rain in the forecast, so they'll probably be able to get out this week. Hope they learned something, on the half-mile hike out.
Glad I never did anything dumb like that when I was younger!

.. reminds me of a Mustang that went out onto a soggy field.
When leaving he got stuck, but was able to get moving backwards toward the road with some help of bystanders.
Coming near the road, the driver decided to try to turn around.
Got stuck again. Pushing didn't help this time.
A tow truck went out onto the field and it got stuck. A larger towing vehicle went out too .. and got stuck.
On the edge of the road on the opposite side, was a single house with a 35 foot gravel driveway. With the help of some towing lines, they were able to ratchet all the vehicle off the field by going down the driveway and then tightening up the line and repeating. Took a few hours.

But I fail to see any possible scenario in which someone who genuinely cares about civil liberties, and especially gun rights, could possibly vote for someone who is not only the architect of the second biggest gun grab in American history but also one of the people chiefly responsible for weaponizing federal agencies against wrongthinkers.

That's very true and I always look at these news of staff shedding from two angles. Firstly, the corporate went woke, now going broke and I shed no tear. Secondly, to the woke employees: tough, you probably voted for this. Those non-woke workers, I do feel for you. You should have left as soon as the company went woke as you personally would not have advanced.
There will be a very few who could not leave but don't fall with the above categories and I have nothing worthwhile to say except c'est la vie.

Truth, unlike detective stories, is that most criminals are caught because the fools can't keep their mouths shut. Someone always knows, and people always talk. Best I remember was in Shreveport once; a local station ran a dramatization of a robbery at a local gas station. It was all actors, but the robbers girlfriend saw it and thought it was actual film. So she drove down to the police station and turned them both in.
I always wanted to hear what her boyfriend said when they picked him up and told them what she did.

NEW: Terror attack in Canada goes wildly underreported by the media where a man shot up Edmonton city hall as retaliation for what is going on in Gaza.
Last week, Bezhani Sarva was charged after shooting up & throwing a Molotov cocktail in the city hall building.
New footage shows Sarva explaining why he was going to carry out the attack.
One of the reasons was the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

I checked that story out. Pretty lame "terror attack"; he had a Bubba'ed SKS, and shot some holes in walls and ceilings. His "Molotov Cocktails" left scorch marks on the floor a couple of feet across. Looks like he was just LARPing as a real terrorist. "I could have killed all of you, but I didn't because I'm a cool guy"
It would have been better if he had whacked some Edmonton Counciltards. A bunch of muzzies and Commies, mostly.

Saudis and Kuwaitis who used to bankroll them got sick of their shit (especially after Palestinians supported Saddam in the first Gulf War) and told them if they didn't act better they were going to cut their funding. So Iran jumped in and said "We'll give you all the money you want to make trouble for Israel and America!" Iran did the same thing with Hezbollah and the Houthis; Hamas was too stupid to realize that to the Iranians they were never anything but cannon fodder, set up to be sacrificed.

To put it in perspective, it would be like people freaking out over Kodiak Grizzly/Polar Bear hybrids swarming Terre Haute. (Taylor is nowhere near that large, but I think it highlights the disparity. Folks are convinced (see youtuber Dark Waters on this) that these supposed eight-foot tall upright canids are swarming an eight mile stretch of state road through Taylor that briefly departs from and joins the local interstate, I-55.)

Doubt she can name a single book that has been 'banned'... while she struggles with naming one I would suggest she earn some money and het it herself rather than demanding that slaves provide it.

Goth, if you use the "share" button on the Ewetoob screen, it will generate a "short" URL that has about 25 characters, followed by a question mark and another 25-odd characters. Delete the question mark and all the following characters, and you have a very small URL indeed. See my 193.

>>Just got back from a little walk out along the beach. It's raining and warm, 52 or so, and there was a group of about 15-20 young adults standing around a bonfire, drinking and smoking dope and some were skinny dipping. The water is still 45 or so.

So you’d rather get nothing than something?
Posted by: Montec
I get your point but it's kinda nuanced. If I devoted myself to it, could work a 40-hours-billed week (which would be more like 50-60 in terms of actual time) and make X amount (a very enjoyable amount given my expenses), but if I work half that time, though I make more than 50% less, I enjoy the free time (even if it's just not working for something longer than a work break), so in this sense I would prefer to have nothing rather than something. But that "nothing" i get in return actually has positive value since it's enjoyable. Classic economics.
Now, AK may not be thinking at this level, but it could well be that "starving the beast" of $1 by giving up the last $2 has some personal/political satisfaction value. Frankly, I can use that $1 so I wouldn't cut the rate at which I earn.

I had a Champ for a daily driver for several years, back around 1980 and '81. V8 with a 4 speed. It was pretty quick, and could haul a heck of a load. I have a 3/4 ton Champ in the yard at home, V8 with the truck 4-speed, but it's a complete restoration project. Engine does run, and it can move itself.

That's the aspect of the outdoors that I think is often overlooked. You can be totally at home in the wild, and yet there are those moments .... If you look into the roots of the word "panic," it's all about that curious, complete sense of eldritch dread that can suddenly arise out of nowhere, even if the sun is shining and the local fauna are doing their normal thing.

I will now reveal my personal history with the DEAD.
While volunteering with the Haight Ashbury Free Medical Clinic, I worked with a section called "Rock Medicine." from 1979 to 1984. We were assigned to supply medical staff to all of the major "Bill Graham Presents" rock concerts. This of course included the New Year's Eve concerts with the DEAD at Oakland Auditorium every year. During this 5 year year period I will say for the record...The Dead put on some epic shows. Not remembering the exact year that Graham dressed as Father Time dropped down from the back of the Auditorium 80 feet above the crowd on a wire attached to an actual 1968 FAT TAIL HARLEY...RUNNING AND GUNNING over the crowd all the way to the stage to open for the DEAD that year...YUP they don't do THAT anymore.
I also did a 13 of 15 day stand at the Fox Warfield Theater in San Fran that included Jerry's Birthday Party with a truck load of of Champagne supplied by Graham for everyone in attendance...they don't do these things anymore.

Nightwatch's comment at 181 reminded me of my adolescence. This was in coastal SC, and uninhabited. I was always by myself, because there were no other kids within probably 15 miles. Roads were dirt. After getting home on the schoolbus, I would generally pick up my .22 and go wandering through the woods and swamps. Every day was a little different. In all of that time, I never met, nor even saw a sign of anyone having been there.
There was an almost palpable sense of being *really* alone, and yet, knowing that people had been there before (at least coastal indians), even though there was no sign of that at all. It was just wild, dense, swampy land. I always turned westward as the sun set, knowing that would lead to a road.

That's the thing - the same Nature that draws you can overwhelm you with the sense that it's there, it's been there, and you are on your own in a way that you didn't anticipate.
Then there's the "You're not supposed to be here feeling." I've heard about it from others and even experienced it once myself. Just a clearing, nothing unique about it, and no hints of any danger or of predators, either animal or human, but it's the only time out in the woods where every sense said "Leave." I stepped back out a few feet, and feeling gone. No sense of being watched or anything like that. I had even been in the area on previous occasions, and no indication of anything menacing or forboding. I still have no idea what exactly led to that experience.

Well said. I think that can be applied to a few bands/artists. Sounding extremely conceited, but I think the recorded music from 1964 (The Beach Boys, The Beatles Invasion, plus The Stones, et.al.) through to 1974-75, that decade, is incredible. So many great, talented and entertaining musicians going this way and that, doing different things, including ODing. Clapton with Cream, Derek and the Dominos, 'just stopping by the studio to jam' and solo work as well, e.g. I personally think it wouldn't be hard to run a music radio station using just music from that period. So much of it, made by real musicians with few gimmicks, unless home-made. No auto-tune, just talent. A truly great decade or so of incredible music and of all genres. There was Motown and real Johnny Cash/Marty Robbins country, as well. And I haven't even touched jazz.

nurse, Your walk on the beach sounds delightful, like something I did with my friends way back when. We just wanted to sit around a fire and drink and have many conversations with many different people. Never went skinny dipping, always wore my clothes in the water though.
Mike Hammer, I hope you are happy that you experienced that in your youth, this generation will never know that feeling.
Night AOP.

Over time I achieved all the NIASE repair categories available, something I'm quite proud of.
Came with a cost, during that time there were a number of substances we (as techs) were inadvertently exposed to with varying effects, in my case resulting in COPD--a relatively mild case kept under control by prescription.

How cool. I can't identify with the aloneness, but I can relate to a very close attachment to the land. I farmed the family farm for 32 yrs. It was on the south side of the Rock River, where the traveled path to it was used by Black Hawk when he crossed back into IL in 1832.
Then they were pursued by IL militia up the same route including a young Capt. Abe Lincoln. From what I can discern from past maps that trail ran across our farm at the time.

Tonight I pulled a real boner (no, not that kind!) I fetched Mama down to our place for supper, followed by the evening edition of Hallmark's "Signed Sealed and Delivered" (IMHO the best Hallmark series and I should know, because we've been watching it every night since some time in October).
Since this week's deluge has produced a muddy mess of the driveway, we've been fetching her in the F-150. Yes, I know she's more comfortable in the Crown Vic, but I do get a kick out of watching a 93-year-old woman climb into a truck.
Anyhoo, it was time to take her back home and I couldn't find the truck keys anywhere. I was 5 degrees from frenzy. I actually went through the trash bag in case I tossed them in there. Publius had to trudge up to her house to fetch the spare keys.
While he drove her home, I slopped through the area where the truck was parked with a flashlight. What a moron, what a moron.
I went back into the house to probe the cushions a third time and jerked a chair out of the way, and there they were on the floor. I'd dropped them when I changed my wet flip flops for my slippers.

I get them, and when I don't listen to them bad shit happens. I don't think Mrs b quite understands the depth and urgency when my instincts start buzzing. The latest one was where i was stuck behind a douchetool in a prius. He was driving way slow, and it was starting to piss me off. All of sudden the spidey senses kick in and its telling me to get away from this asshole, like really, get the hell away from him. The jerkoff next to me has his thumb in his ass and is blocking me from getting into the other lane, so I start freaking and said I'm gonna run this motherfucker off the road if he don't move and stop boxing me in. Mrs B is saying just chill, i said NOO, I got to get away from this prius. Finally I was able to get in the next lane at a traffic light. 10 seconds later I hear a screech and he gets ass ended.

I agree with the gut feeling aspect and am certainly open to the idea that certain signals or cues can reach us directly without our conscious awareness. After all, how are we aware when we being watched? Something is tipping us off, but we're not clued into the why and how of it. I could see tricks of light, maybe even something in the local microclimate could skew one's perceptions.
Still, though, a thoroughly unremarkable clearing I had visited before with no misgivings, but on that one sunlit day at that one time, with the sun shining and the birds chirping away, there was this oppressive sense that staying there was not advisable. A few feet out of that clearing, no more forboding. Like I say, weird.

I read about a section of the North Country Trail in Alger County, Michigan, near Munising, where a number of people had reported there being an oppressive or evil vibe in the air so they made a point to move along to stay overnight somewhere else further up the trail. I cannot relocate the source, now.

Nearer to my home town, also in Northern Michigan, I was out hiking with my siblings north of town a couple of years back when we encountered, for the first time in my life that I could remember, a Red Pine tree afflicted with witch's broom, a condition which leads to clustered and abnormal grown of the foliage. It freaked me out something fierce.

True - disaster averted, but what disaster? M.R. James wrote a compelling piece, "The Malice of Inanimate Objects" (and anybody who hasn't discovered M.R. James needs to do so!) and Algernon Blackwood (likewise!) did a few mood studies that highlight how place and things can be inexplicably unsettling even if they're familiar, and I wonder if that ties in here. David Lynch managed something similar in Twin Peaks - sustained shots of a traffic signal or an ordinary living room generated unease that a simple jump scare could never hope to manage.
