Saturday Night Jokes and Other Funnies

A United Nations plane carrying a large number of ambassadors was flying across the Pacific Ocean to go from America to Japan, when suddenly they lost several engines. They were too far away from any land, including Hawaii. The pilot announced that after jettisoning as much as they could from the cargo bay and fuel tanks, they still needed to reduce the overall load by 600 pounds, or three people to reach the closest airport. The crew was needed to fly the plane to safety, so three of the ambassadors would have to sacrifice themselves for everyone else by jumping to their deaths in the ocean below, as there were no parachutes.

While a crew member opened the emergency door, the French ambassador stepped forward. "Vive la France!" he exclaimed as he plunged to his demise. Next, the British ambassador approached the door and said, "God save the king!", and plummeted to a watery grave. Finally, the American ambassador stood up, grabbed the Mexican ambassador and yelled, "Remember the Alamo!" and pushed him out.

A wealthy Texan commissioned an artist to paint him a mural depicting general Custer's last words at the Alamo. He gave the artist free range as to how he would arrange the mural. Weeks passed as the mural was in progress, but eventually the time came for the wealthy man to view the work.

He entered the room, full of expectation, to see a mural depicting a large blue fish with a halo atop a hoard of copulating Native Americans on the hillside below.

"What the hell is this?" the man said. "That's not what I asked for."

"Oh, but it is," said the artist. "It shows the true last sentiments and words of general Custer. I figured they'd be 'Holy Mackerel, look at all those fucking Indians!'"

Squirrel blamed for government Internet outage in Ohio county

A network outage that caused several government offices to lose phone and Internet services in an Ohio county is now being blamed on a meddlesome squirrel.
Medina County officials said the Feb. 20 outage that knocked out phone and Internet services at government facilities including the county prosecutor's office was initially thought to be caused by contractors accidentally slicing through underground fiber.
County Administrator Matt Springer revealed at last week's commissioner's meeting that the true cause has now been found to be a squirrel that built a nest inside the fiber infrastructure and chewed through multiple lines.

20 Camels Diqualified from Oman Beauty Contest for Botox Fillers and Plastic Surgery

In Arab countries like Oman, camel beauty contests are a big deal! Breeders from far and wide bring their best specimens for a chance to win the title of ‘most beautiful camel in the land,’ but in recent years, events have been plagued by scandals involving various cosmetic enhancements.
Last month, the 2026 Camel Beauty Show Festival in Al Musanaa, Omanaa, was rocked by the disqualification of 20 participants after veterinarians ruled that they had been artificially enhanced. Botox, lip fillers, silicone reshaping, and artificial hump inflation were some of the forbidden procedures discovered during the inspection.
Camel beauty contests are an important part of Arab tradition. For centuries, camel owners struggled to emphasize features like glossy coats, long, well-set necks, full lips, long eyelashes and firm humps through selective breeding and grooming, but in recent years, cosmetic enhancements have become very common.

62 Knew from the Mexican fan palms and general look that it was a CA beach up top. Didn't even notice the pier at first. And have never gone to the OB Brewery. OB is too touristy, busy, dog-s**t abundant, and "hip". I think the title for smugly stupid (er, "progressive") might have passed to South Park, but OB still attracts a lot of the worst excuses for citizens. Great wine bar restaurant there, only reason I go now. Oh and a great German restaurant. Both of those are sort of apart and away from the smug/trashy/beach zone.

Not to mention accidentally duping the entire thread in one's comment field. I miss that.

(started as a borrow and now its living here cuz 'safer from theft there') That battery got rundown this summer and it lost its time, it took me months just to figure out how to change the radio station on its fancy system, its clock is still whacked, another friend thought she could figure out and had time to play with it as the passenger and she couldn't get it either.

The Missourian volunteers who marched West to help take California and wound up garrisoning Taos in time for the Taos rebellion were much the same sort of troops. Hard fighting in war, and in peace provoking the locals to rebel.

Not only is Iran about 5 times the population and multiples the size of Iraq, but its military-industrial assets and internal repression infrastructure and forces (IRGC) are many times the size of Iraq's before/after '91. There wasn't a lot of known important stuff to bomb by March 2003.

As long as Iran remained a threat to the chokepoint of Hormuz, there would always be a risk premium. By permanently removing that risk, oil will go down and stay down once this is over.

The currrent prices are a short term inconvenience to reach a beneficial long term future.

206 Speaking of grand, or maybe grandiose, movies, the 1963 Cleopatra w/ Burton and Taylor is on Movies! Good casting, I admit, with Rex Harrison as Julius Caesar and Roddy McDowall as the young Octavian. There are amazing scenes. The arrival of Cleopatra's barge at Alexandria (?) makes you think that, if you were standing there in thirty-something BC, it would have looked just like that. And McDowall shines as the "callow youth" that everyone thought Octavian was, until he emerged as the survivor from the civil wars.

Long film though.

Yer making fun of Stevie Nicks again.
----

I saw Stevie Nicks live on her solo tour. If you want to watch her, she has a talented band and a couple of backup singers that can hit the notes that she no longer can.

If you're a Fleetwood Mac fan...you might want to sit this one out. For a couple of reasons.

Her band doesn't have the "touch" that Fleetwood Mac does. If one of the guitarists has the distortion pedal at 7 for a rocker, its set at 7 for a softer song as well. As a result, a LOT of the nuance that Fleetwood Mac achieved gets lost.

The bigger problem I have is her treatment of Lindsey Buckingham.

Stevie had at least a DOZEN pictures included in her background screen of...Tom Petty. Another DOZEN of Christine McVie. A half dozen of...Joe Walsh.

Lindsey Buckingham? None...by himself. A "group" Fleetwood Mac photo...with Lindsey sitting on the floor the furthest away from the photographer.

Stevie would have never sniffed Fleetwood Mac without him. But sure, just pretend he didn't mean a damn thing to your career.

Magnificent scene, and a loose recreation of something that actually happened. The first actual meeting of Antony and Cleopatra (for real, not in the movie) was when she recognized he would be useful, and she sailed a magnificent barge up to Tarsus, in Asia Minor where he was encamped with his troops. She dressed as the goddess Venus to dazzle him and everyone else there.

Those appear to have been calling in the positions of IRGC and leadership for the last week.

236 Born today: Chris White in 1943, bass guitarist and composer for The Zombies. The song I know best of theirs, Time Of The Season, was written by keyboardist Rod Argent; so here's a deep cut written by White, from their second album Odessey And Oracle:

The Zombies - Beechwood Park (Lyric Video)
https://youtu.be/J15hFQdCO5E

Also, Randy Guss, drummer for Toad The Wet Sprocket, was born today in 1967. He stopped touring in 2017 and left the band in 2020, due to osteogenesis imperfecta. I can only imagine that he had some good times with friendly ladies in the meantime, though, despite his apparent stature. No deep cut, just a top-20 hit from platinum album Fear:

249 Variation of the first joke (circa 1979):

President Jimmy Carter, a priest, and a hippie are on a small plane when it develops engine trouble and starts going down. Pilot announces he's going down with the ship, but there are two parachutes in the back, so figure out the best way to divvy them out and good luck.

The hippie recommends drawing straws, but the priest rejects the idea as too close to gambling. As they discuss this, Jimmy Carter stands up, grabs a parachute and declares, "As President of the United States, I'm at least the smartest guy on this plane, therefore, I have the most to contribute the world and should survive this!" and he jumps out the door.

The priest watches him disappear into the clouds, turns to the hippie and says, "My son, I've lived a fruitful life while in this world, and I know what awaits me in the next. Take the remaining parachute and be a light to those that you encounter in your following days."

The hippie casually leans against the bulkhead and smiles at the priest: I think we'll be ok, Father. The smartest guy on this plane jumped out wearing my backpack"...

Posted by: NCKate

Remember, today's retail rate is based on what the price is expected to be when they refill their tanks. Retail gas is very low profit / high-volume so the retailer can lose their ass if it only goes up 5-10% when they have to refill the big tanks.
Retail goes down slow because there is no reason to lower price until the station across the road does... and then verify the price to refill.

Popularity not due to quality, but ubiquity and corporatism and such. Everyone can at least tolerate it, even if nobody loves it.

319 The word is that Israel not only traced the IRGC and leadership by the Iranian camera net, they also ID'd the people the regime killed and beaten in the streets and contacted the surviving relatives about acting as resources.
Those appear to have been calling in the positions of IRGC and leadership for the last week.

348 March 6

The Convention met pursuant to adjournment. This day intelligence was received of the fall of the Alamo. The accounts state that the place was carried by assault on the morning of the 6th inst., and that the whole garrison were put to the sword. Col. Travis, Col. Bowie, and Davy Crockett are said to have fallen. The information produced a deep sensation in the Convention. The members seemed stunned by the intelligence. It is a severe blow. The enemy are represented as advancing in great force.

The country is in the utmost alarm. The roads are crowded with fugitives. Women and children are flying from their homes. The scene is distressing in the extreme. Yet amidst all this the Convention continues its deliberations. The organization of the Government proceeds. It is felt that there must be no delay. The country must have a Government.

It helps to be the first big "X," for any "X." They were good musically, but they were the First Big Pop/Rock-n-Roll Band.

If they had appeared in 1975 or 1995, where they would have had a lot of competition, instead of in 1960, they might have been as big as Abba or Oasis. Still "big," but not "worldwide phenomenon that people write history books about."

I've never understood the Dead. There's zero distortion. There's zero overdrive. There's zero chance that one of them will just LAUNCH into a crazy SEARING guitar solo that will wipe us all out.
