Saturday Night "Club ONT" May 31, 2025 [The 3 Ds]
Welcome to Club ONT! A collaboration of your Sunday through Wednesday ONT Crew - The Disco, The Doggo, and The Dino. Tip your bartender - even if you are the bartender (self respect matters). Does beer really need to be that complicated? How many different glasses do you really need to enjoy beer? Club ONT appreciates a good sudsy treat but we're simple folk. Belly up to the bar, pour one out for those that came before, and enjoy your overnight hours with the Horde.

Adjacent to Peter Gabriel, here's a deep cut from Genesis (after Peter Gabriel left the band). One of the best song names ever. Good live version.

"No way, no needles! I hate needles!" the man exclaims
So she starts to hook up the nitrous oxide tank, and the man says, "I can't do the gas thing either. Just the thought of having a mask on my face suffocates me!""
We were in Portugal when I was 9. My parents took me to a hospital to have my tonsils removed. Just as the man above I refused the needle and the mask. My parents were told I ate more ice cream that night than any other patient at the hospital ever had done.

More humor.
Jimmy Murphy, a City Councillor from Dublin, was asked on a local live radio talk show, just what he thought about the allegations of torture of suspected terrorists. His reply prompted his ejection from the studio, but to thunderous applause from the audience.
HIS STATEMENT: "If hooking up one fookin' rag-head terrorist's testicles to a car battery gets the truth out of the lying little camel shagger to save just one Irish soldier's life, then I have only three things to say: red is positive, black is negative, and make sure his nuts are wet."

Just take the shot.
I turned fifty earlier this month and celebrated by cracking open a molar. It apparently had been a cavity whose pain I misread three years ago and forgotten. The tooth was a total loss, and broke further three times while they were extracting it.
But I can say the numbing agent they used was super effective. And the Ibuprofen pills they prescribed are super effective. But based on the pain I felt between the time the numb wore off and the pill kicked in?
Just take the shot.

Edward Henry and his 12-year-old son went bow fishing May 18 in a swampy forest in southeast Monroe, according to Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization, an Akron, Ohio, group that tracks sightings of the mythical creature.
They heard rustling in a tree and then a loud thud on the ground, said the group. A big, heavy animal headed toward them in the brush until it was intercepted by their dog.
The creature then moved quickly past trees and up a slope with the dog in hot pursuit until Henry called him back...
The Henrys, who were interviewed by the Bigfoot group after filing a report with it, said the animal was as big as a bear and looked like a gorilla.

Wonderfest is this weekend in Louisville KY. In the model contest room amidst all the Gundams and TiE fighters and Federation starships, a couple of entries have really caught my eye.
1. A large probably three-foot-long model of USS Cygnus that was lighted.
2. Attack of the 50ft Velma. *zoinks!*

They won't really know until Sol's fart material hits the L1 sensors, about 1 million miles away from Erf, then radios the data back. That gives about 30 minutes lead time.
The main thing is "B_z", the (ecliptic) northward component of the fart's magnetic field. If that's negative, bucking Erf's field, that's when you get the light show, and the wig-woggling of the Erf's own field (your compass would get a little wonky if it's strong enough), which induces the currents in the long E-W wires stretched out across the continent and all that.

Last May, we got quite a show here. Aurora visible, very rare thing. And then saw some "streamers", basically white rays directly overhead around 11PM. I forget what that is exactly, but it's electrons accelerated and radiating somehow. There's a proper name for it, but I forget.
It made shimmering white ray trace looking things directly overhead.

Well, a guess on my part, but that's the sort of geologic environment in which such deposits are found. And I think Man has only one "n". I would like to do exploratory drilling in southern Alberta around Black Butte, which is part of the Sweetgrass Hills intrusive complex, mostly seen in Montana. Granitic intrusions piercing Mississipian limestones might have an aura of lead-zinc mineralization. Or gold, even.

'Barnyard'.
We had done a 'gold standard' run of a particular big chain pizza sauce. Their chief program QC person had written up notes on tasting it. She had written 'Barnyard' in the flavor section. I asked her 'what the hell does that mean?' (It was one of my runs.) She said it meant that it tasted a bit too strongly of white pepper. I asked her why she did not just say that.

IT’S HAPPENING: HOUSE TO VOTE ON DEFUNDING NPR & PBS
After years of demanding an end to the use of YOUR hard-earned tax dollars to fund Left-wing propaganda, we’re finally getting it DONE.
Thanks to President Trump’s leadership and the relentless work of @DOGE & @DOGECommittee, the first rescissions package is heading to the House, and it includes cuts to NPR and PBS!...
...
MTG is a hero, Trump & Musk are fighters but I'll believe the vote when I see it.

6 people including a USDA employee BUSTED in a $66 MILLION food stamp fraud scheme!
Arlasa Davis, a USDA employee responsible for identifying SNAP fraud allegedly SOLD hundreds of EBT numbers enabling over $36 million in fraudulent SNAP redemptions at unauthorized stores
Michael Kehoe reportedly orchestrated a network that supplied the approximately 160 unauthorized EBT terminals to stores across the New York area to illegally process more than $30 million in EBT transactions

I'm not too sure about "cuts" to NPR and PBS
I'm sensing a slight "cut" to their funding so congress can say they cut funding without actually DEFUNDING them entirely. Anything less is a big FU to the republican voters.

There must be a way for you to shelter some or all of your equities allowing you to continue in a secure lifestyle. My Buddy and his wife have put everything in a Trust and delegated an administrator of the trust.
They don't posses anything, not even the whiskey at his bar in the Trust's house that they live in.
The trust has everything.

If this has not been legally declared he can still sign documents.

I think insurance is a national thing. He's from the NE and certified there. He's down in TX and he's certified there.

In my humble opinion, you need to march yourself down to an old folks attorney before you're too broke to afford one.
My mother-in-law was down to part ownership of a house and 1500/mo social security. The atty was able to help move the house out of her name so only the SS remained as an asset. California is providing 70 hours/week funding for a caregiver. She is 95 and unable to care for herself. I have no idea what would happen if she had no one to care for her.
Your situation maybe different and of course different state but you need to see what your options are from someone who knows your states laws.
Good luck to you always. Sorry you are in such a difficult situation.

It seems many of us are in this boat. Modern medicine is doing us no favors, able to extend life well into our 90's but as burdens on our families.
I was fortunate in that my parents were able to afford to live in a facility the last four years of their lives but I spent many a sleepless night worrying about what I'd do if their money ran out. It didn't and they passed within four weeks of each other at 96 (dad) and 98 (mom).

If anyone remembers I've had to deal with his health issues for a while and then I was called home last Nov 8 to take Jules to the ER. She went code blue within 45 minutes. It's been God's grace and many prayers that she is still here.

It's stories like yours that will push people to either vote for legally assisted suicide or everyone turns into Luigi Mangione. Given our 2nd Amendment, I'd prefer the latter. But things cannot continue as they are for the elderly, which now includes a disgusted me.
When one realizes they have paid taxes their whole life just to support Democrat fraud and corruption is unsettling. Since the elderly pay little taxes and cost money (the Dems rightly want to steal), the elderly are expendable.
