Saturday Night Club ONT - June 6, 2026 [D Squared]

School is out, summer is in. Time for some backyard barbecue and quality time spent with good people in good places.

Welcome to Club ONT - a collaboration of The Disco and The Dino (with a dash of guest Doggo tonight!). We built this place for you so you can have some fun. Come in in, grab a drink or 3. Keep it light and friendly. Jerks need not enter the premises (the moose out front will keep watch).

Saturday Night Jokes and Other Funnies

Double Positive

An MIT linguistics professor was lecturing his class the other day. "In English," he said, "a double negative forms a positive. However, in some languages, such as Russian, a double negative remains a negative. But there isn't a single language, not one, in which a double positive can express a negative." A voice from the back of the room said, "Yeah, right."

Anyone want to be Mayor?

New York village to vote for mayor with a blank ballot

A village on New York's Long Island is facing a highly unusual mayoral election after no candidates registered to run for the office.
Bayville Mayor Steve Minicozzi announced in April that he would not be seeking reelection, and Christopher Vivona, the village's deputy clerk-treasurer, confirmed no one else registered to run.
Vivona said June 16 will mark the first time he knows of that the village of approximately 7,000 people will go to the polls to vote for mayor with a blank ballot.
Officials said the election will be decided by write-in votes. John Taylor, who ran against Minicozzi in 2022, said he would be willing to serve if he gains enough write-in votes.
"[If] some guy comes up there with 50 of his friends, he's your mayor," Watson told NBC New York. "If 100 people get one write in each it's a tie. So it's a strange situation."

Any Morons live in Bayville?

Club ONT Department of Aviation News

End of an era

VMA-223 celebrates sundown as Marine Corps' final Harrier squadron

Marine Attack Squadron (VMA) 223, known as "the Bulldogs," celebrated the conclusion of nearly 40 years of operational history with the AV-8B Harrier II during a public ceremony at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, Wednesday. The ceremony marked an important moment in time for VMA-223 and also signaled the end of an era for Marine Corps aviation as the service continues its transition to an all-5th generation tactical aircraft fleet.

Colloquially known as a "jump jet" for its ability to take off and land within short distances, the AV-8B is a V/STOL aircraft designed to support the Marine Air Ground Task Force commander by destroying surface targets and escorting friendly aircraft. The AV-8B's lethality and V/STOL capability made it uniquely suited for deployments in support of Marine Expeditionary Units (MEUs). VMA-223's final detachment of Harriers to support a MEU returned to Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point last month after supporting operations with the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit in the Caribbean.
In fiscal year 2028 VMA-223 is scheduled to reactivate as Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA)-223 and will begin flying the F-35B Lightning II. VMA-223 is the last Marine Corps squadron to operate the Harrier.

Farewell Harrier.

Smarty for Club ONT Smarties

History of Smarties. Now we are talking!

This all sounds like a fairly unsurprising origin story, save for one thing - the original candies were made using old wartime pellet machines designed to compress gunpowder into ammunition. That's right! Instead of making bullets, Dee made candy.

83 The message of the Japanese Emperor to his subjects after every major Japanese city had been reduced to ashes, two cities were nuked, 19 American carriers sat offshore from the home islands launching air raids at will, the entire Japanese empire had been rolled back to the shores of Honshu, and Japanese civilians were starving, was a classic gem of understatement:

"The direction of the war has not gone entirely to Japan's advantage..."

I'm no Pacino fan, though I acknowledge that he is a solid actor. But he was good in this. He often plays guys who are bizarre in some fashion. In this one, he is the sane, ethical, moral person, while nearly everybody around him is cracked, unethical, amoral, or close to nuts.

The Argie Mirages didn't like to fly low, and the Harriers couldn't do well getting up where the Mirages liked to play.
On the other hand, once the landing fields on the Falklands were interdicted, the Argentine AF could only attack from the mainland and they didn't have the fuel capacity to do the full run. They lost a couple of good pilots trying.
Advantage was probably to the Harriers

She also sells lottery tickets, but when I offer to buy one together, she says no.

I've known my dad landed at Normandy on D-Day, and I met the French family he quartered with (once things got calmer) who carried a photo of him in their wallet because he gave them his C-Rats when he stayed with them (they were starving.) This year I learned he was with an ordnance group that marched with patton, fought in the ardennes, he and his group were wounded and captured and he was a POW in a stalag near Dachau. Now I know why he were never talk about anything other than Normandy. And how I better not ever come home married to a Limey.

My wife told me she wanted us to start "eating like our ancestors," so I spent the afternoon sitting on the floor in the dark, eating a raw carrot and grunting at the Wi-Fi router. When she came home with a bag of expensive organic kale, I told her, "Ancestors didn't have credit cards, Karen.

If you have a google/youtube login, it keeps track in your account there, and not on your computer.

You can go to:

https://www.youtube.com/feed/history

And either "delete all history" on the right sidebar, or click the 3 dots on any particular item in your history to delete just that one. Then those don't color your recommendations anymore.

You can also pause and restart its history-gathering there.

In fact, there will be a lunar occultation (Moon will pass in front of and cover up) of Venus on June 17th. It will be visible (due the large lunar parallax) only over NA, and then dip down to NE SA.

The rumor is (from DIL) he may want to keep this professor. Fine. This was malpractice. Your and DIL's choice and it was she who brought up a new doc subject to me.

He may or may not want to send this precious baby to her daycare germ factory while she is on antibiotics. Not fine. DIL brought this up. I offered to watch her before their vacation in two weeks to try to keep her alive vs a new bug.

People, I cannot help it that I was a RN. A very good one. A smart one by all accounts. I know my stuff. I even looked up if cultures are different now for reports as I could have missed something. Nay. Same as always. This MD did not give this baby an antibiotic for an obvious cathed UA of an infection. Oh, no, she waited almost 48hrs to put her on an antibiotic. I kept asking about the 24hr preliminary report and it was never in the "portal."

I had hoped to just keep driving my 2003, for a diesel it didn't have that high of miles, but last year a fuel pump had quit and this year it developed a short or something where it kept turning on something and draining the battery, and the other day I went to start it and the battery disconnect work around for that issue that the mechanic told me might take many hours of labor to track down kept disconnecting the battery on me and I decided god was Gibbs slapping me to just buy a new pickup.

I can't help it if I want to keep my grandchildren alive. I don't care what you do as an adult,but they are mine, too. They love us.DIL seems to love me more than my son this week. Or I could be imagining him being a big turd about all I have done or suggested to her as she needed us. He was a day away in Sydney.

I mind my own business unless asked. She was caling and texting me about this baby and all of them when they get sick. Because we love them as much as our sons. We helped her with them, and never mind doing it. Some grandparents, I hear or read, don't help at all.

Tomorrow I shall have the first gin and tonic of the summer and erase memory of this week, whether all is well or not.

And this MD had better be hoping and if she prays, pray, that this baby's kidney's are normal with her renal ultrasound (routine after febrile UTI under 2yrs) is normal. Done a week or two after the antibiotic is completed.

This is their third baby. They relied on me, big time, with the first. I doubt either had changed a diaper before. I never questioned any new baby stuff from the professor MD and did as I was told.

My own MIL refused to watch our first baby when I wanted to work part-time (because we were poor). She was busy with her volunteer work and bowling league.

I am the opposite of my MIL. We never asked their advice that I can recall in child rearing as I knew babies and was a nurse, which seems to be the curse of my very existence now to know how cultures work. And that this 9mo old baby could have become septic as she looked bad.

I don't question his decisions on about anything and he doesn't ask. He did not have a hard childhood at all, a good lad. It's only been the last few years of dikhead and we don't know why.

But when the mother of his children ask me I answer and help her when he's a day's flight away.

Mercurochrome was the pussy antiseptic. The active ingredient, merbromin, is water soluble, so mercurochrome stung hardly at all.

I am not a big fan of this pediatrician if you cannot tell. She's a professor as well at the med school. Still wearing a mask, so I can guess how she votes.

My husband claims I can't sue her for malpractice if my girl's kidneys are damaged in July for the ultrasound. We'll see about that and I'll burn that bridge when I come to it and hope I don't.

This baby girl is perfection. Never cries. She was pitiful on Tuesday and broke my heart into pieces. And this witch waited two more days before an antibiotic with a cathed UA showing infection.

I need to go to bed and dream of wonderful things or simply pass out.

The 2003 was bought used, but I did get 18-19 years out of it. I had to replace the injectors when I'd only owned it a couple of years but other than that it served me well. Yup I'm over 29 so it is a good chance that the new pickup will last out my lifetime. I let myself be talked into "platinum coverage" plan. Probably shouldn't have, but I can't kidnap AOP and have him along in case of vehicle issues and I let myself decide it would be good to have Ford on the hook to tow to a dealership and fix anything that goes wrong in the first 7 years.

You are obviously under 29.
Mercurochrome was the pussy antiseptic. The active ingredient, merbromin, is water soluble, so mercurochrome stung hardly at all.
Real men boys asked for merthiolate, who's active ingredient, thimerosal, is only soluble in alcohol. That stuff gave you a reason to squirm.
It wasn't as spectacular a mark, though, since it left the skin yellow, instead of crimson.

348 To top off the week, my dude tells me there is no fruit on our cherry and plum trees. This is a bummer. We had weird hot weather early, confused every plant and tree, then a hard freeze.

I have had such a weird and bizarre set of stress insanity for six weeks I didn't notice. I really wanted those large plums. The cherries we used to eat by the ton before we discovered white worms or someone told us. Pity. Protein, I guess.

The plums are normally plentiful and gorgeous and very good. I am quickly deciding this is not my year (so far). Unusual. Bad karma has shat all over me for six weeks.

It will get better. It will. This is a test of my limits and I have a lot more. *knocks wood, crosses fingers, crosses self, praying a whole lot

He's a surprisingly good communicator. I mean, I did not know that about him. Does Trump rub off on people, attract fellow rhetoricians, or select for the ability?

In a 41-second video, Burgum made sure to end with a tight closer, "Safe and Beautiful." And he set it up shortly before with "never been safer, never been more beautiful," so it was a callback without dull repetition.

She was nearly killed by a stray typo. I forget exactly how it started, I think someone joked that she had Saijo's name tattooed, and she swiftly clarified that she did not have any Oriental language tattoos, in case the tumor took off. We were all confused how kanji would harm cancer treatment, but shrugged and went straight to divvying up her stuff. So, heading off one small rumor sparked a bigger one. But her ghost has been a very good sport about the whole thing.
