Monday Overnight Open Thread - February 24, 2025 [Doof]
Howdy Hordelings! How has your Monday been? Maybe you are ready to wind down and hang out with us here on tonight's ONT. There's a mixed bag of fun and interesting stuff waiting for you. Come on in and join the conversation!
The former host of “Live with Regis and Kathie Lee” broke down in tears as she recalled the incident on a podcast appearance earlier this month. Gifford was set to host the Miss America pageant that year in Atlantic City, when she said her late husband Frank Gifford got a call from the FBI. “They said, ‘Mr. Gifford, we have a problem. There’s this guy. This is a very, very bad human being … And he’s coming to get your wife,” she shared during a Feb. 6 interview on “The Sage Steele Show.” Gifford, 71, said the FBI told her husband the family shouldn’t change their plans so as not to tip off the stalker. But her husband was leery. Gifford said unbeknownst to her, her husband made a call to Trump, who then owned the Miss America franchise, to tell her about the unsettling news he’d just received. “Frank, don’t you worry about it. I’ve got your girls,” Trump told Gifford’s husband, referring to Gifford and her 6-week old daughter. *** The morning of the pageant, she went down to the hotel lobby to buy a paper. She was stunned by the headline. “It says Daily News — Kathy Lee Gifford, death threat,” she recalls. That’s when she put the pieces together.Read the whole thing. Very interesting.

New Hampshire Was the First Colony to Grow Potatoes New Hampshire was the first of the American colonies to form an independent government, as well as the first colony to have a state constitution. Yet it’s the humble potato that might be the Granite State’s biggest contribution to American history. *** Connecticut’s Royal Charter Was Hidden in a Tree In 1662, the Colony of Connecticut was granted a royal charter by England’s King Charles II. But in 1686, King James II, after taking the throne following his brother’s death, decided he wanted the royal charters returned so he could establish the Dominion of New England... ...Legend has it that while the matter was being debated in Hartford between the royal governor and the colonists, the candles in the meeting hall suddenly went out. Under cover of darkness, the royal charter was spirited away by colonial captain Joseph Wadsworth and hidden in the trunk of a nearby white oak tree. *** South Carolina Had a Booming Indigo Trade South Carolina was the first of the colonies to successfully grow indigo — a crop so vital to the colony’s economy that it was referred to as “blue gold.” Indigo’s production, and subsequent success in the colonies, is attributed to teenager Eliza Lucas (later Eliza Pinckney), whose father shipped indigo seeds to America from Antigua in the 1730s. Her father also hired Nicholas Cromwell, a dye-making expert from Montserrat, to guide her. Cromwell was caught sabotaging the dye-making process and was dismissed, only to be replaced by his brother Patrick, who was also caught sabotaging Lucas’ production efforts.More at the link. History is kewl!

Imagine a person so damaged and immature that asking them what they did last week would trigger a meltdown. Not only that, the MFM must believe interviews of those zeros, complete with tears, would show them to be stunning and brave.

History nerd nugget on Cutting Crew: They named the band "Cutting Crew" after a quote by Queen, who were once asked why they were not touring, and they replied, "We're a cutting crew", meaning they were only cutting records in the studio.

Indeed. I too loved where I grew up. But it got taken over by California. I didn't want to live in the (Far) East Bay, or for my kids to grow up in an increasingly dystopian pit of crime, ladyboys, and Aztecs.
So I bounced. Buh-bye, "home," and GFY. Best decision ever.

The Trump SNL clip was top notch. I liked the 13 facts about the colonies (maybe because I'm triskaidecaphillic), and the music selections excellent. I am still ruminating over the bubblegum video.

He is who he is, and we all think from time to time, Maybe he shouldn't have said that, or said it that way.
But I'm over hearing people criticize him, and you'd think she could just say, yeah, he did this great thing for me, and leave it at that.

I've mentioned before, even recently, that I tried the Dvorak keyboard layout thanks to a driver for my first computer, the venerable Radio Shack Model I. After a brief learning curve, my years of QWERTY fluency quickly yielded and I could tell that, in time, I could be typing much faster on the Dvorak. But not all programs worked with the changed layout, being mapped to certain physical keys rather than their software equivalent. The handy ancient left-hand WordStar standards of ctrl keys for copy, cut, paste, etc., weren't as easy.
Besides, to be totally comfortable with the rearrangment, I would have had to tape over the letters on the keys, or (hahaha) switch around all the keycaps (which we could do in those days when we wore onions on our belts).
Now I just have trouble with the "shift" keys on my cell. Why would anyone move the exclamation point to the A from the 1 where the gods of the typewriter layouts intended?

That's not the part. As enraged as I was at being relieved of my valuables a call to the cops was met with no response for almost an hour, at which point detectives accused me of being too gutless to tell my wife I spent all my money so I concocted this story and was wasting their time.
I thought I was going to stroke out!

Don "Fingers" Felder wrote a MOST interesting little autobio about his time with the Iggles.
They cheated him like a Mofo; engaged in ENDLESS costly litigation; and then finally paid up like they should've done before the 10 years of lawfare.

Easily 90%+ of what OPM.GOV is used for is job announcements, applying for jobs, and maybe getting an email telling you that you did not get the job. And maybe processing retirement packages... Every dept has own HR, despite its name, OPM does not deal with HR.
But for those fanatics who religiously follow Musk tweets or certain blogs nobody would pay any attention to the recent spams which carries all the hallmarks of spear-phishing.

With each breath your memory fades to gray
Losing hold, you try to find the way
Now alone again as silence falls
The only sound is my laughter
I take the dreams that live inside my heart
And splash them 'cross the nightmares in my head
I close my eyes and try to change
The person that I know that I've become
Set to music like this:

He was a KGB mole of ours back in the Cold War (talk about Russian collusion). He defected here and we set him up. And he then grand-sired Big Balls.
Remember back in the Cold War days, how we'd have to spirit out our moles and double agents when things got too hot for them.

Half of The Police's greatest hits album is about criminals.
"EBYT" is about a stalker. "Don't Stand So Close To Me" is about a teacher banging a student. "Roxanne" is about a prostitute. "Can't Stand Losing You" is about a guy blaming the girl who dumped him for his impending suicide, so it's about blackmail.

There's a pack of cigarettes

Sometimes the girl forgets
She forgets to hide them
I know who left those smokes behind
She'll say, "Oh, he's just a friend"
And I'll say, "Oh, I'm not blind" to
Him, him, him
What's she gonna do about him?
She's gonna have to do without him
Or do without me, me, me
No one gets to get it for free

But my 5 year old daughter came to crying and said "Daddy... Canada is an impudent second-tier client state and it's high damned time it was brought to heel. More to the point, it's unbefitting a world historical leader of Trump's stature to accept truculent insubordination from a worm like Freeland. Why won't Trump execute War Plan Red? Why, daddy?

Unanticipated knock-on effect was children being born duel-nationals....
Before the 19th women aquired the citizenship of the husband the same for their children. Sometime after the 19th (decades?) women got to keep their citizenship after marriage and also reclain it*.
This idea that kids born in the US, or to one US parent, were always considered US citizens at birth is BS.
*For those budding genealogiacs, the form/appliction for citizenship restoration was still published on *.gov as late as the year 2000.

It rains harder in Alabama, but its probably because there is more that needs to be washed away to the sea.

The thing with these late winter storms is they drench the mountains with their full season snow pack and for extra credit cause the temperatures to rise: instant flooding. Not biblical, more like an Easter movie which is still biblical sort of. The point is they are nasty storms. The only thing worse in the late fall storms that do the same thing but with 60 to 80 mph winds which knock down scads of trees and power lines. Going through life wet and cold for up to a week is the shits.

Foghat was terribly underrated in their day. On a great stereo system, playing Slow Ride or Fool for the City were nearly religious experiences. With Tequila in hand, of course.

His work after Stray Cats is where the meat is found. His big bands were an astounding mix of swing and rock-a-billy. Over the years he would do a Christmas tour with the big band, always killer, and then in the summer with his quartet which was the borderline a mind blow.

Shit, that really sucks. I always liked him, because my father played in the 50's, and years later when I was born my earliest memories was hearing him playing "that" type of music. He didn't seriously play again for a long time after my brother and I were born. One day in the early 80's I heard this dude on MTV and it immediately brought me back in time, and that dude was Brian Setzer. He sounded so much like my father that I called my brother into the room and said hey who does this guy sound like? My brother listens for like 10 seconds and says "the old man?" My father eventually got back into playing, he got about 20 years out of it and RA killed his fingers to where it got harder and harder to play. Now setzer is getting fucked. I fear the day I have to face that.

I looked it up. Brief, and not very well-researched. There are pipelines. Several of them. But they are fully subscribed; running at capacity. Some crude is shipped by rail; the only trucking I know of is retail amounts of refined product being shipped to markets in Montana, and maybe B.C.
There has long been separatist sentiment in Alberta. We resent being milked like a cow for the benefit of Ontario and Quebec. The idea of union with the USA was never much considered, but I think it is now being contemplated by people who would have dismissed a year ago, even. Perhaps a preference cascade will happen.
