Wednesday Overnight Open Thread - October 8, 2025 [Autumn Rex]
Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the overnight variety.
Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another random assortment of interweb debris. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. [Top photo: Giles County Courthouse, Pearisburg, Virginia]A man was caught on surveillance video stealing a large dinosaur from a gas station in Brentwood. The incident happened Saturday, Sept. 27 at a Sinclair gas station on 13060 San Vicente Blvd. Video shows the man walking towards the green Apatosaurus and appears to unscrew it from the ground. He walks away then returns with a white tarp or blanket over his shoulder. As he covers the dinosaur, a white pickup truck then pulls up besides him. The man then places the dinosaur into the pickup and gets into the passenger side as the vehicle drives off.Update: Beloved dinosaur statue returned to LA gas station
A Sinclair gas station owner in Los Angeles is breathing a sigh of relief after a beloved fiberglass dinosaur statue was returned after being stolen late last month. It's a crime that was so shocking, the owner said people were crying and even leaving flowers at the spot Claire the dinosaur stood. The green Apatosaurus, named Claire, was returned after being stolen over a week ago. The dinosaur was covered in a blanket along with a note that read, "Sorry for stealing Claire! Please do not press charges!"Related (but again, not me):
According to data from the Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes, the origins of the free-flying photons in the early cosmic dawn were small dwarf galaxies that flared to life, clearing the fog of murky hydrogen that filled intergalactic space. A paper about the research was published in February 2024. "This discovery unveils the crucial role played by ultra-faint galaxies in the early Universe's evolution," said astrophysicist Iryna Chemerynska of the Institut d'Astrophysique de Paris.Do we trust the French to opine on free flying photo formulae?
In 1950, Schulz took a somewhat spiffed-up "Li'l Folks" to United Feature Syndicate for nationwide distribution. The group agreed to publish the strip, with one stipulation: The name had to change. "Li'l Folks" was deemed too similar to multiple existing newspaper strips, so the syndicate rebranded it "Peanuts," a reference to the peanut gallery on the "Howdy Doody Show," where boisterous little children sat. Though Schulz never liked the name and would harbor no small resentment of it for decades, the cartoonist nurtured "Peanuts" into one of the most successful comic strips in history.
Written correspondence can be sent to moronhobbies at protonmail dot com. Reports of lost large scale dinos looking for homes are also welcome. Are you lurking ?? Thank you for your attention to this matter.

As most of you know, about a month ago I was in the hospital for the better part of a week due to what turned out to be a bad stomach virus. While in the hospital, an abdominal CT Scan was performed to rule out anything more serious. We were somewhat bemused when no mention was made of the tumors in my liver, but we figured they weren't looking for that.
When I saw the oncologist 2 weeks ago, he was somewhat confused as well, so he asked for more information from the hospital's radiology department.
We saw the oncologist again today (scheduled appointment), and he showed us the images that he was sent. There is lots of calcification (indicating tumor cell death) where the smaller tumors had been, but he didn't see any sign of the small tumors anywhere. The area where the largest (8 cm) tumor was now shows lots of calcification and a significant amount of tumor shrinkage.

What means is that in the time that I have been on this medication (about 8 months), my largest tumor has shrunk by almost 90%!!! 🥳🎊🥳🎊🥳
My next CT scan is scheduled for November 3rd, at which time we are pretty sure the oncological surgeon will be discussing surgery to remove the lobe of the liver where the tumor is located. Barring surgical complications, this should give me more time with friends and family.
While we don't know what the timeline might be, the fewer cancer cells that are in my body (there is no way for surgery to remove every cancer cell), the longer it will take for the cancer to return.
Happily, it looks like I will get to spend Christmas with family at least one more year, if not more. Thanks to EVERYONE who has been praying on my behalf - they are definitely working! As always, we will keep everyone informed as we go along 😊♥️🎄

Autumn Rex, thanks for the Peanuts link. If there is one thing I'm a fanatic about (besides good pineapple-less pizza), it's Peanuts and Charles Schulz.
It's an interesting fact that if you actually look at the early Peanuts strips from 1950 to about 1955, it wasn't made clear whose dog Snoopy was. Sometimes he seemed to be just a neighborhood stray puppy.
It wasn't until sometime in the mid-1950s that Schulz finally made clear, Snoopy is/was Charlie Brown's dog.
Schulz also did some topical humor in the 1950s, including a great Sunday strip where Charlie Brown wants to buy a comic book from his nearest liquor store. When he finally finds them, it's full of books with titles like "Strike," "Gore," "Maim," "Terror," and "Kill," and a title on the display: "For The Kiddies."

When I was at college, a young coed appeared in my sophomore year. She had large br**sts, blonde hair that went out to the sides, a southern twang, and was one of the sweetest people I ever met. "Yew talk funny!" she told me.
Anyway, I nicknamed her Dolly Parton, which she apparently didn't like. It was always meant to be affectionate, which she eventually understood.
She left after one year. It became one of those "I always wonder" bits. I hope she's happy, content, and has bustling grandkids.

Turns out it's the Frogs who have the best (semi-) analytic lunar theory yet to date, Éphéméride Lunaire Parisienne from the Bureau des Longitudes.
It contains 20,000 periodic terms. It's still not as accurate as JPL's DE high-precision ephemerides, but as it's analytic, it has advantages for long term studies.

The origin of the "shaboinking" obviously comes from the All Ladies Apron Choir from Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Mrs. Gertrud Pierpont-Smythe wrote an original composition for their annual 'Suds and Puds' Festival aptly named "Shaboinkin in Sheboygan".

There is no precise definition of dwarf galaxy. They know one when they see it.
There is a dispute on whether to call the Large Magellanic Cloud a dwarf, or just a smaller regular galaxy. It's a satellite of the Milky Way, of course.

I went to college in San Antonio, and I recall one of my friends complain that driving home to California for spring break, he could be halfway there and still be in Texas.
Coming back from New Orleans one year, we also noted the sign just over the Texas border declaring El Paso to be 1205 miles away was about the biggest f u we'd ever seen on a road sign.

I made an awesome drawing that might have won, but definitely would have been published. Before mailing it in, I showed my art teacher. There was a gathering of several other students hovering around his desk for the reveal. He said man, Lemmiwinks, you have really outdone yourself, I can't believe you are a 6th grader.... BTW you mispelled....
You can't understand how deflated I was. I didn't send it in and I couldn't change it cuz it was inked. One of the cutest girls in the school asked me if she could have it. Of course I gave it to her (not like that pervs)

Wiki - House at Pooh Corner (song)
"House at Pooh Corner" is a song written by Kenny Loggins, based on the children's book of the same name. It was first performed by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band on their 1970 album Uncle Charlie & His Dog Teddy. [A great album, and even though I didn't care about the book or movie, was where/when I really fell for this sweet song.]
…Originally Disney would not allow Loggins to record the song, claiming copyright infringement. At the time Loggins was dating the daughter of Donn Tatum, the CEO of the Walt Disney Company. She arranged a meeting between Loggins and her father, who gave the okay for the song to be recorded.
…The song was later recorded by Loggins and Messina themselves on their debut album Sittin' In, released in November 1971
Wiki - Return to Pooh Corner [album]
…the eighth studio and first children's album by American singer-songwriter Kenny Loggins.
…[Track 3] "Return to Pooh Corner" (Loggins, new verse written for his third son)
[The live cut linked here is the first time I've heard the new verse.]

The NYTimes used to have a weekly item listing restaurant violations. My friend worked downtown and one of the restaurants listed one time was a Chinese restaurant his office often ordered from.
The citation was for having 'cats in the freezer'.
His office was horrified. My friend, being the shit he was, asked them if they liked the food? Did they get sick? No? So he ordered from them again. No one else ordered, though.

17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. 18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”[a] says the Lord. 20 On the contrary:
“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

She goes on a zoom or whatever call, bright lights flood her, she turns everything off and makes everyone wait while she can get to a more flattering environment, then comes back and claims fake-cheerily, "I couldn't see you guys!"

I am unsure why it took me this long after 9/11/01 to pray for the complete eradication of radical eeslam. For Christians and Jews to rise up in the UK and Europe to save their culture.
I pray this now every night. Granted, I am sure God is up there thinking, "Get on with it!" as my prayers also cover many things including the health and protection of our President, VP, their families, friends and our cabinet...that any plan against them fail...and to follow our deportation lead.

We saw the oncologist again today (scheduled appointment), and he showed us the images that he was sent. There is lots of calcification (indicating tumor cell death) where the smaller tumors had been, but he didn't see any sign of the small tumors anywhere. The area where the largest (8 cm) tumor was now shows lots of calcification and a significant amount of tumor shrinkage.

Snoopy was always my favorite peanuts character though I identified more closely with Linus.
I remember Snoopy sometimes reflecting the culture of the times in the60's - having protest signs, for instance.
One short-lived character was a boy named 5, so named because his dad felt ' we were all just becoming numbers anyway'. In the last panel Snoopy says 'I never get names straight. Did he say 5 or V?'
The world hasn't been the same since we lost Charlie Schultz.

When I was an oblivious hippie college coed I wore my hair in two braids, apparently appropriating from Native Americans. My hair was to my waist. Sometimes this is how I wore it and did not care what others thought. I yam who I yam.
Of course, in hospital nursing you either had to have short hair or wear it up. I wore mine up, and once I got my cap I was rocking that look.
Like the military, we got a stripe for junior and senior year so random people could tell what level we were. It was cool and I thought it a pity to end caps for nurses, altho I am glad our school did not have those hankie types. Our velvet stripes were on the side vs across the cap, as I am sure this is riveting and need to go to bed.
I am sure to save oil Greta cuts her own hair with pinking scissors or a rusty knife she found and repurposed. Or the top of a tuna can.
Soon she will be trans for attention.

Fairbanks is over 800 miles closer to Tokyo than it is to Washington DC.
We used to have four time zones until they screwed it up in the '80s and cut it back to two (very large) time zones. We've been out of sync with the sun ever since. I wish they'd change it back. We didn't need any "helpful" alterations to screw up our circadian rhythms beyond the screwups that Mother Nature had already dealt out.

As far as I am concerned, the title "Doctor" should really only be spoken aloud when in the environs of the doctor's field of work. Address an MD as "Doctor" when in a medical setting, a dentist (DDS) as "Doctor" when in the dentist's office, and a college professor as "Doctor" when engaging with him/her at a college.

So I was taught. A blog that's devoted to the subject in which you hold an advanced degree would be another example. Insisting on being called "doctor" by the clerk at the QwikieMart is just ridiculous.
An equivalent annoyance is the attorneys who insist on attaching a postnomial "Esquire" to their names.

Yep, something has shrunk here on Android, and I can't figure out what the hell did it. The text is smaller, and nothing I can do will make it bigger relative to the rest of the page. That relative size changed.
If I zoom in enough to comfortably read the text, the margins are too wide to fit within the screen.

God made you with love. We are all here for a purpose. Sometimes just a moment of kindness and a smile. Or, depending if they are Antifa, I might run you over with a smile.
On days I produce nothing due to a zombie state or laziness of retirement, I still think I am awesome. Which is possibly odd in itself, but I don't think deeply about theology and accept God's Word since toddlerhood.
My motto is simple: Find Joy. Look for it in small things and it becomes a habit. Laugh often and loudly.
Thinking deeply, say finding 'x' annoys me. If I am annoyed I move on. I am apparently awesomely annoyed sometimes but it is brief.
I lived through deep grief at 20yrs old and losing the first love I met within four months due to a rare cancer.
A year later I met my future husband. I was super busy living life with college, and had no choice but to continue, but for awhile it was horrific. Now I see that as a blessing for leading me to the real love of my life. Sometimes, not all the time, you can see good things come from bad.
This thinking is giving me a headache. Blows kisses.

Well, for no reason other than cynicism, I blame the ads. I am pretty sure that Ace's adserver is hostile to us, and throws in shit to make reading here a challenge. Look at how many of the ads are absolute shit, and how few are for reputable companies. King Harv's coffee is an exception, and I think he deals with Ace direct.

Well, hell, I tried Edge for Android, and the problem disappears. It's something about Chrome for Android (and how Pixy interacts with it). But Edge is chromium based, but different.
I see the difference in *relative* text size. The text in the grey boxes in bigger relative to the size of the grey box. The word wrap makes the lines shorter.
After yesterday, on Chrome, that relative size is the same as the desktop Chrome. It's a relative font size issue somehow.

I think the senior Obama was a non-entity. May have been a Commie; which was very much in fashion for African "students" in the '60's. I think it went down like this: he was muddling through college, on track to failing the year. FMD gets Stanley Ann Dunham knocked up, an abortion cannot be procured in time, so FMD tells BHO Senior that if he marries Stanley Ann, and acknowledges the child as his, he gets a guaranteed pass from the university, and no child support obligations. But he has to hot-foot it back to Kenya with the ink still wet on his his diploma.

My father went to work for a company called Associated Telephone in 1957, mostly doing pole work. He was about 17 and took the job because they didn't require a HS degree.
In about 1962, Associated became General Telephone.
In 1971, General Telephone became GTE.
In 1997, GTE merged with Bell Atlantic to become Verizon. And that was also the year my dad retired.
He did well in middle management there. I can't imagine spending 40 years with *just one* company.

Many times I would hear a song and wonder just what in the hell made a person write it. Thats one of those songs. I always thought of the show Daktari when I heard it.

Truly nothing tastes as good a that first gulp of beer after a long days toil. Time for another one.
My current earworm is Two Out of Three by Meatloaf.
I always have a song going on in my head. Hear part of it and it's locked in for days. I'm not a fan of this one. Might have to do something about it.

This is what became "The Lion Sleeps Tonight":
https://is.gd/GWVplS
Solomon Linda, South African singer, 1939 recording. It was "Mbube", which is Zulu for "lion".
The story was he was a singer at some joint, and just got to riffing on that, and recorded it later.

Ah, yes. I am listening to Marty, she's in the background & I pay no attention to her.
I once read she slept with all the band but Marty. He didn't like her, either, and she got the message. I reckon she was a ho.
Miracles is my favorite song on that album. And the year I needed one. 1976 was better, except for the roller coaster of my bf/husband's seasonal need to break up with me for no reason as we were not arguing or having issues. Twenty-two is young for a cassanova, not my problem as I was the same age; and also had my act together.
When you are the last of a herd of many girlfriends it takes time for a 22yr old dude to realize what he has (this is how I figured it after he got his act together). It's all been fine since. He "thinks" he had over 20 girlfriends from HS to college.
The songlist on my phone depends on my mood. Sometimes my neighbors probably hate me if I'm dancing on the deck, but I simply don't care.

Some years ago, on a highway, Christmas eve I push a button on the radio and it's a classical piece, full orchestra with a chorus and it's beautiful and there are three women sopranos, maybe contra alto and they are over the top (mid section climax), hitting high notes hard. It could have been Stan Kenton's or Woody Herman's dream trumpet section. It was tremendous.
I've listened and looked and never found it. What a loss.

My life has background music, too.
Counterintuitively, I can usually clear a song by listening to it a few times. Maybe singing along, if I'm far enough away from other people to prevent any restraining orders.
Or, as others here have said, by listening to something even earwormier.
That is so a word. No red underlines, computer.

True. I used to do it in one shot, but now we break it up. We also take a different route thats waaay nicer. I used to take 81 through virginia but thats the bataan death march. Way too many trucks, way too slow, way too long. Now I shoot across PA into ohio and drop down through kentucky. Way better.

Doof sent me an entire Road Trip music collection of about 4000 songs. Well, the first 100 or so are the theme songs from every TV show of the 70s and 80s.
Some I recognized immediately, others not.
Fun road trip game to see who gets it right first.

The dino models there are extraordinary. Actually the whole museum is impressive.
