Wednesday Night ONT - June 24, 2026 [TRex]
Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans. The bar is open and freshly re-stocked.
Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of random overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and join the fun. Good will offerings of amusing puns are encouraged. Pants are optional. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. This is a Tucker, Candace, Megyn and Bill Kristol free zone. Please. Will reading the content earn you free Triscuits? No. Will it entertain and inform while you eat your Triscuits? Perhaps. Only one way to find out. [Top photo: Carla Manneh]
A giraffe is on the loose in the Texas Hill Country, and her owners are asking for the public's help to bring her home. The Real County Animal Rescue-Shelter posted on social media Monday that Cedar Hollow Ranch is searching for "Gracie," a missing giraffe last seen west of Leakey. According to the post, Gracie has rounded ears and was recently spotted on a game camera in the area. Her owner is offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to Gracie's capture and safe return.Is it really that difficult to spot a giraffe? They're tall and don't look like anything else. Are there herds of giraffe in Texas and this one blends in? Maybe Texas giraffes are more skilled in the art of camouflage than the average giraffe.
We rarely describe our products as essential or practical, but this Glow-in-the-Dark Itty Bitty Celery is both! You get eight stalks of 1-1/4" tall, soft vinyl celery. During the day, you'll enjoy the reminder of celery superiority, but at night, this celery really shines. It glows in the dark! And, just for clarity's sake, the celery "stalk" officially refers to the whole bunch of celery, each piece you pull off is referred to as a celery rib.
There is no truth to the rumor that TRex is working as assistant to the assistant's assistant coach for the US World Cup soccer team. Written correspondence can be sent to moronhobbies at protonmail dot com. Are you lurking ?? Is anyone smart and adventurous enough to click on the lurker link?

Since so many of our citizens are just too moral and sophisticated to attend, maybe we should invite them to our State Fair.
That would sure give them something to talk about later.

Working for 5yrs in an ED/Trauma unit made me think this way.
I am enjoying so much the UK and Europeans loving the USA and saying basically fake news told them not to love us, our food, our hospitality and our college stadiums. Some don't want to leave. I don't watch the games I watch the fan's youtubes.
I think we should have a revolving deportation turnstile and allow good people who will love America in for every barbarian we ship off to El Salvador or wherever they came from.
What's not to like with people who like Chick fil A? Or the National Anthem?

Just a short hop to Oklahoma. We were on the watch.
Wild animal preserves and such like do leak critters now and then. Kangaroos. Tigers. Always amusing, in a "hope they don't eat me" value of amusing.
One of my favorite stories was a few years ago, an older Oklahoma feller is driving along at night on a rural road, when he suddenly shouts to his wife, "ELEPHANT!" I can imagine recognizing such an unexpected beast, even reacting in time not to hit it (as we're used to dodging deer or loose cattle or horses), but I think I'd need a several seconds of processing time to be able to verbally identify it.
"Looky that, honey! Don't that look like one o' them gee-raffs blocking the road…?" 💥crash!💥

My husband and I have found the most horrible, idiotic, nauseating series to watch called Sweet Magnolias. It wins in all categories of very bad cinema. This should tell you how bad it is (even worse than Virgin River) for dialogue and acting and make up. We mock them and blow through the ghey parts that make us gag.
Because, you see, there is a gay couple, of course there is.Plus 3 married couples who always have problems and idiotic dialogue of "unpacking problems" or a tequila night where the women "pour it out." One woman, bless her, is the size of a tank. And their make up is not good at all. Have mercy!
Another woman has the teeth of a horse and a fake "refined" Southern drawl we mock a whole lot. She's probably our favorite and has about 5 hairstyles per show. She just got married and then sang to her groom at the reception to our glee.
My husband calls them the Fagnolias vs Magnolias. We are not even sure why we subject ourselves to this punishment, yet we do. It is very bad and if renewed I do believe it is a sign of end times.

One British guy went to a Texas rodeo where cowboys were bucked off steers, then a steer's horn threw one guy several feet on his head.
The Brit guy said Americans are made different. That that would have stopped the rodeo and the ambulance would haul him off. He said instead a few boys grabbed him, sat him against the wall, and gave him a beer.
I had to laugh at what they think. Texas has made a huge impression on them in both diet and outrageous patriotism. Thanks, y'all.

Haven't been in a tornado but hurricanes are fairly common around here. Fortunately, they usually have lost most of their power by the time the get to this area. Still, no joke.
Earthquakes are different to me. When the earth starts shifting, that seems really bad. The Ring of Fire area is just a matter of when not if.

******************
I have an unscientific theory of waiting after a big one somewhere, for a big one on the opposite side of the world. So far it holds true as the plates settle or whatnot.
The largest I've been in was a 6 at 7am when we were still in bed. Instead of staying in bed, on abdomens with pillows over our heads, we ran to the landing and watched the chandelier swing. Not good. I figure we'd be found two floors down in the basement like a couple after Pompeii.
My first, in college, was over a 5 and I was in a basement apt alone. In the kitchen I felt like I was on a ship and thought, "This is weird, I have had no beers to get the spins." Noted the electric clock cord swaying. The house was 100yrs old and I heard walls creaking.
With every earthquake there is a boom before you feel it. Then a bit of sort of vertigo.
Called my friend who verified an earthquake and neither of us knew what to do, being from MS. At the time you were supposed to stand in a doorway, which I think is old news now.

We evacuated six times in 20yrs from hurricanes on the Atlantic. Barrier island. If hit "just right" the Intercoastal and Atlantic would meet over our house. I'm a great swimmer but we decided we did not want to drown in our own home. It gets old to evacuate and in 2005 we did 3 times in about six weeks. Got hit twice by a CAT 3 with little damage. The house was built like a bunker but we took no chances: contractor said it could withstand a tornado with rebar in concrete block every few feet, hurricane code roof, metal shades on every door and window, etc.
Tornadoes, though. Oh, boy. I HATE them. Waiting to basically die if you don't have a shelter. Two years ago one missed us visiting my mother in MS by about 10miles as we watched on radar at night. I hate tornadoes.
Earthquakes? I guess if that's how I go it's better than watching your death on radar.

It’s the actual shaker. The ground turns liquid and waves. Actual waves going down the street. My dad was on the golf course during the Nisqually quake in 2001. He said the fairway rolled.
I looked out our living room window with my Marine in my arms and my oldest clinging to my leg in an archway in the house. The waves rolled down the street. It was amazing. And kind of beautiful.

The pony motor starters on Cats had megaphones instead of mufflers; on a cold morning you could hear them yowl from a mile away, and they had to warm up and really scream to turn all that mass over. The Sixty models started another way: there was a deep hole in the flywheel, exposed of course, into which you fitted a steel bar about six feet long. Walk her up onto top dead center, preheat the glow plugs, prime, and yank that sucker for all you're worth. If it fired, it flung the bar out, sometimes 20, 30 feet away. Heads up. And beller, O Jesus.
Once you had one running, you did not shut it down.

About 100 yards away. The other was in Nebraska. I knew it was close, couldn't see it, so pulled over and hoped it didn't land on me. It didn't.

Men and women are tough in different ways. I firmly believe women have a higher physical pain threshold than men.
I believe men are tougher psychologically.
I think men are calmer in big situation chaos. They can focus and take emotion out of the picture and make things happen. Things that may not be peaceful.
Women protect. And soothe and nurture.

There is so much variation in people; I was one who always felt calmer in a dangerous emergency situations; it was a comfort to have no doubts, to know exactly what to because it was an imperative.
But I have been around men who were smart, seemed like any other; but when an emergency strikes they fall to pieces and can do nothing.
I’m reminded of the report of General Rosecrans after the collapse of his army at Chickamauga; an observer reporting to Lincoln that as the reports of the disaster came in, “the General began to wander about like a duck that had been hit upon the head.”

Nope, it's Wet, Dry, and Everything Burns Down. We also have May Gray, June Gloom, and No-Sky July. Currently experiencing June Gloom. Sometimes we get July Fry right alongside No-Sky July as the thermometer yo-yos. Today it's extremely windy but luckily I don't live where they "pre-emptively" shut down the power every time the wind blows so that "Everything Burns Down" doesn't happen prematurely.

My grandmother was knocked out of bed at the rest home due to the Easter quake of 2010. She was recovering from a fall that shattered vertebrae in her spine from a fall (she didn't like how my uncle, her son, cleaned the floor, so at 95 she decided she'd do it herself and slipped and fell), just to get tossed out of bed by a quake. She survived, hit her 96th birthday, then passed in September of that year...

DH slept right through the strong 2014 South Napa quake (6.0); I was hundreds of miles north in Eureka at the time. He thought the cat jumped on him and went right back to sleep. Had to do a lot of clean-up at my mother's house after that one; Mom's cupboards were affixed to the east-west running walls of the kitchen. As the shaking ran strongly north-south, every glass in her house broke as they were flung out of the cupboards. There was shattered glass everywhere. The MIL's cupboards were on east-west walls and she had one glass crack when it tipped over, but nothing leapt out of her cabinets. Her hot water tank tipped and had to be replaced, though.

Whoa! You got us beat, Rodrigo! Loma Prieta was the worst one I've been through to date and luckily I was at home. First time I felt I had to evacuate the premises (thought for sure the windows were going to shatter before everything stopped rolling and rattling) and had to do a walk-around and inspect the foundation afterward. Escaped with just a few hairline cracks in the walls when the house settled days later.

Yeah, 13, most folks in Napa didn't even lose power or water except a fairly small area directly downtown and some folks on the west side of the valley where the fault trace runs. Highway 29 was broken right through there but only needed a quick patch job. Lots more folks lost their old brick chimneys, though. That's why I can't go anywhere there's brick buildings without thinking, "Death trap!"
