Florida Man's Crappy Plan

Man caught on camera stealing septic tank

Surveillance video shows a man trying to steal a septic tank, then returning the next day and taking it after his initial attempt failed, the Marion County Sheriff’s Office said.
Deputies responded on Feb. 27 to a reported theft at a construction site in the 21600 block of W. Highway 40 in Dunnellon, the sheriff’s office said in a social media post.
“As you can see in the surveillance footage, they discovered that Alfio Nocifora had a crappy plan to steal a septic tank on February 22 with his 2013 Toyota Corolla,” the post states.
The attempt failed when a Jeep Cherokee arrived at the scene and, according to the sheriff’s office, Nocifora fled. He then returned the next day with a rented U-Haul truck and successfully loaded the septic tank and about $2,500 worth of electrical pipe.
Deputies said Nocifora covered the U-Haul license plate and identification number with tape. A detective later identified him, obtained an arrest warrant, and deputies located him in Citrus County, where he was taken into custody, the sheriff’s office said.

How high can YOU count?

Woman Spends 70 Days Counting Out Loud to 1,070,000, Breaks 18-Year-Old Record

Guinness has recorded some strange records over the years, and Favour Ogechi Ani’s record definitely ranks up there with the weirdest and most difficult of them. Starting in October 2025, the Nigerian woman spent 70 days confined to her home, counting out loud to 1,070,000.
Counting out loud might not sound like the most difficult thing in the world, but can you imagine doing it for up to 14 hours a day, 70 days straight? It’s the kind of monotonous repetition that could make a person go mad, but Favour Ogechi Ani was so passionate about counting and focused on breaking the 18-year-old record for the highest number ever counted out loud that she never thought about quitting.
“Honestly, it was tough, but my passion for counting kept me going,” Favour said. “I had a lovely team supporting and cheering me up, and it was fun despite the challenges. My determination to achieve this project was a burn-the-boats mission. I never thought of giving up for any reason.”
Starting on October 8th, Favour Ogechi Ani started livestreaming her daily counting routine on YouTube, which helped validate her record attempt. She also credits the people cheering her on as an extra motivating factor that kept her counting daily until December 16 of last year.
***
The old record, which had stood for a whopping 18 years, was an out-loud count to 1,000,000, but instead of just counting to 1,000,001 and calling it a day after a grueling counting marathon, Favour kept going until 1,070,000.

New grenades for the Army
(H/T: long time lurker David in Oklahoma)

From the Valor Guardians blog

The Army has officially adopted the M111 (and it’s practice counterpart the M112). May not sound terribly significant, but they are the first lethal hand grenades adopted since 1968.
As many know, our standard M67 grenade works pretty well as a fragmentation grenade. Pull the pin, four-ish seconds later it goes ‘splodey, and sends out shards of metal in pretty much every direction. Basic, simple stuff. Unless you have to use it indoors, within the blast radius of the fragments. Fragments can get deflected, go in odd directions, through thin walls – not as much fun, right?
***
Has there ever been a case of mesothelioma reported in someone sharing a room with an exploding grenade? (“Call Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe for action!”
Okay, I know, walking into a cloud of asbestos particles to confirm cleared rooms repeatedly won’t do anyone any good… but it still sounds like an odd worry.
Back to the M-67, it replaced the M-33 and M-26 predecessors and has been in constant use since 1968, an eternity in weaponry terms.
***
Note the M-111 supplements the M-67, not replaces it. Think of them as – well, using your indoor voice or your outdoor voice. Indoor grenades vs. outdoor grenades.

Thank you David for your contribution to our Smart Military Blog.

'Ette Couture (Courtesy of Piper)

It's that time of the week - when we turn the ONT over to our good friend Piper for a bit. Here's this week's fashion pr0n.

-----

March is in full swing and the White House red carpet (or East Room carpet) is delivering. Let's break down the standout FLOTUS and Second Lady moments from the past couple weeks.

First up: Melania Trump's weekend getaway coat (March 13, 2026). Boarding Air Force One with her dad, Viktor Knavs, en route to Mar-a-Lago, Melania wore a Mackage Nyire Stripe Tie Waist Wool Coat and I am absolutely obsessed. The rich camel hue with bold black-and-white stripe accents is chef’s kiss. The wrap silhouette cinches at the waist for that signature tailored FLOTUS vibe—structured yet feminine. Mackage nails the luxury outerwear game in general, but this coat is timeless. I am pretty sure I need this coat. Here. In Alabama. It’s sold out (of course it is), but maybe I will luck upon it eventually.

Fast forward (actually rewind, but details) to Women's History Month at the White House (March 12, 2026). Melania hosted in the East Room alongside POTUS, and she went full fierce with an Adam Lippes Levi Belted Leopard Print Chenille Maxi Skirt. Leopard print on a midi/ maxi length? Bold, but no one is surprised Melania owned it. The skirt was paired with a what I believe to be the Ralph Lauren collection cashmere sweater we have seen before. The belt adds definition, the chenille texture is subtle luxury. The shoes are Christian Louboutin black suede Pigalle Follies 120 pumps. This look is “I'm here to honor women who roar." Adam Lippes has been a go-to for FLOTUS (remember that Inauguration coat?), and this proves why: American-made elegance with a wild side.

Shoutout to Second Lady Usha Vance at the same event, she looked absolutely lovely in the Marie Oliver The Paxton Dress. The high-neck, long-sleeve midi in a striking blue-and-white abstract zebra-ish print was modern, confident, and fresh. The pattern pops without overwhelming, and the silhouette is graceful for daytime White House duties. Usha is starting to elevate her style game, and she is also an adorable pregnant woman. Love that for her.

We can't skip the historic first: Melania chairing the UN Security Council on March 2. She chose a sharp Christian Dior belted gray virgin wool tweed jacket (removable scarf for options) over a matching pencil skirt. Peplum shaping, which is currently very on trend, black belt cinch, textured tweed, it all equals pure business chic. Dior + Louboutin heels? Unbeatable power combo.

Which of these looks was your favorite, are you Team Tweed or Team Animal print?

-----

Thanks, Piper!

13 Today I present two relatively serious and pleasant songs by two different birthday Marks with profoundly unserious and punk-ish bands. First up is Mark McGrath, lead singer of Sugar Ray, who turns 58 today. He starts this song with some grit in his voice which I think is a deliberate stylistic choice, since later the production shifts to a scratchy lo-fi vibe; it's just a bit of vocal fry, like an NPR personality apologizing for his existence, that disappears when the song shifts gears:

Sugar Ray - Someday
https://youtu.be/dPcX-5Tmqt8

Next is Mark Hoppus, bassist and co-lead vocalist with the much-despised blink-182, who turns 54 today. The band had quite the personal journey from their initial PooPoo PeePee Tour to this gothic track off their final untitled album, with everyone's favorite, the upright bass:

blink-182 - I Miss You (Official Video)

Melania Trump and Usha Vance bring a touch of class to DC, and I'm happy to see Piper illustrated it. Of course, the MSM "fashion press" have to ignore our First and Second Ladies, lest they get kicked out of the cool-kids club, but I don't think either of them care.

57 Evening, folken,

Just finished watching a classic psychological mystery, Crossroads, from 1942. William Powell of the "Thin Man" movies plays a French diplomat in 1935, married to Hedy Lamarr (yes, her), and saddled with amnesia. Suddenly he is thrust into a maze of blackmail and duplicity; Basil Rathbone and Claire Trevor demand a million francs from him, because, they say, he was their confederate in a robbery in 1922. But he doesn't remember!

Or does he? Powell and the script keep us guessing until the end. It's a fine little B & W mystery.

Tony Bennett was in it, as I recall -- probably his only dramatic role.

The original screenplay might have been pretty good stuff from Harlan. But knowing his stories of how studio execs can ruin things, I wouldn't be surprised if there were too many cooks meddling in the production. Usually Harlan took his real name off projects he was disgusted by, using his pen name "Cordwainer Bird."

There were four of us in emergency having done so. Felt bad for a plumber who hurt his whole hand pretty badly. It was busy, so the gave us all morphine and stuck us in a corner.

I usually open the ONT every night and read through it but don’t look at the comments until the next day so it is too late to comment. So, pie from last night. Lemon Pecan Pie from The Hammett House in Claremore, OK. They serve it in a heated skillet with a brandy butter sauce with vanilla ice cream. I don’t know if mindful has made it there since it is a little NE of Tulsa. If you need another reason to go to Claremore, there is also the J. M. Davis Arms Museum.
I am going to make a trip to the Hammett House in a couple of weeks for some pie, with a side trip to The Amish Cheese House in Chouteau, OK.

I think their arrangements are much more like Blood Sweat and Tears than Chicago - and their lead singer sounds closer to David Clayton-Thomas.

248 9 Hi friends! I have been having fun on x with a few ‘ettes and Oscars gowns. 😊 Ace should let me live blog the red carpet.
Posted by: Piper at March 15, 2026 10:04 PM (Wmg4n)

I can think of few things I'd want to watch less than the Oscars, but if Ace let you live blog it, I'd check in for the commentary. Mostly for the fashion disasters, but also speech disasters.

My wife is actually in the other room watching it. I don't know why she wastes her time, we don't see a lot of movies before they're free on a streaming service. Maybe just force of habit.

280 It's impressive watching Trump wield all the power of the President of the United States of the America, military, diplomatic and the media, to change the world for the better. We get caught up some times on what hasn't been done yet but what Trump has done in his first year is incredible.

281 Everyone has kind of glossed over the fact that the reason a man in a coma was named Supreme Leader is that the Ayatollahs are already out and the IRGC is running things now however they want.

And with all the deaths, it’s not clear who’s running the IRGC.

As supporting evidence, in last Monday's Cafe, he said, "Mondays always sneak up on me":

I hope they have a plan to defend it, an oil refinery is going to be a crummy assignment if Iran decides to drone it out of spite.
