Saturday Night Club ONT - October 3, 2026 [Disco & Dino]

Welcome to Club ONT - a whelming collaboration of The Disco and The Dino.

Open thread - bar is open, too. Come in in, grab a drink or 2. Or 3. Keep it light and friendly. The Moose is working undercover tonight while fighting crime, so acknowledge him but don't let on that you know his true identity.

Saturday Night Jokes and Other Funnies

So while traveling, a Texas businessman steps into a pub in Ireland. "So I hear you Irishmen are a bunch of hard drinkers! Well I'd like to see that! I've got $1,000 in hard cash for anyone who can do 10 pints of Guinness back-to-back!"

A guy at the end the bar snorts, a couple in the corner goes back to their conversation, and for the most part he's largely ignored. One man leaves the bar.

So the Texan snickers to himself and goes about having his drink at the bar.

About a half hour later, the man that left earlier comes back in, and taps the Texan on the shoulder. "Excuse me, but is your bet still good?"

"Why, hell yes, boy!" he says. The bartender rounds up 10 pints of Guinness on the bar and it's on.

The Texan watches in shock and amazement as the man slams down pint after pint, until the last empty glass hits the bar, and all 10 pints are down in what seemed like seconds. "Well hell, that was easily worth $1,000 to see. If I may ask though- where did leave to earlier?"

"Oh," says the man, "I had to go to the bar down the street to make sure I could do it."

-----

A guy walks into a bar, and order 5 shots. Bartender says, "Jeez, you look like you just got some bad news." Guy says, "Yea, just found out my dads gay and he's leaving my mom." So the guy downs the 5 shots and drinks the rest of the night.

The next day he comes back, and orders 5 shots again. Bartender says, "What happened now?" Guy says, "Just found out my brother's gay and he's leaving his wife." So the guy downs the 5 shots again, and drinks until closing time.

The next day he comes back again, and orders 5 more shots. Bartender says, "Jesus, doesn't anybody in your family like women?" Guy says, "Yeah, my wife".

Club ONT Department of Batmobile Matters

Want one for yourself? Turner Classic Movies and Julien's Auctions announce The Ultimate Batmobile Auction, headlined by the screen-used Hero Batmobile from Batman Returns, live and online November 23, 2026.

The last Batmobile to hit auction was George Barris' original 1966 TV series car which sold for $4.6 million in 2013, a price that stood as the benchmark for movie vehicles for over a decade. The Batman Returns Batmobile carries a $5 million to $7 million estimate.

Maybe a scale model is more your speed?

30 I was watching Garage 54 before the ONT dropped. Quite different from their usual fare. They were doing an extended road test of a Yang Poon engine they had installed in a Toyota Camry. So they went off on a road trip, through some absolutely spectacular mountain scenery and a river gorge. One gravel switchback trail descended about 2600 feet in elevation in 2 and half miles. And the paved roads they were on appeared to first-rate.

And the Yang Poon engine died before it made 5000 km. Bearings failed.

This was a brand new engine, bought on the Russki equivalent of Temu, from China. Looks like they ground the connecting rod journals undersized, so they put copper shims between the bearing shells and the con rod big ends. That's a stunt that some folks used to do to eke a few more miles out of an old. tired engine. Not for a new one!

It's the surprise ending that makes it so funny. Like the Sherlock Holmes joke:

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson decide to go on a camping trip. After dinner and a bottle of wine, they lay down for the night, and go to sleep.
Some hours later, Holmes awoke and nudged his faithful friend.
"Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see."
Watson replied, "I see millions of stars."
"What does that tell you?"
Watson pondered for a minute.
"Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets."
"Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo."
"Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three."
"Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful and that we are small and insignificant."
"Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow."
"What does it tell you, Holmes?"

Holmes was silent for a minute, then spoke: "Watson, you idiot. Someone has stolen our tent!"

103 This was a brand new engine, bought on the Russki equivalent of Temu, from China. Looks like they ground the connecting rod journals undersized, so they put copper shims between the bearing shells and the con rod big ends. That's a stunt that some folks used to do to eke a few more miles out of an old. tired engine. Not for a new one!

DH is getting his knee replaced, but hopefully only replacing the knee cap, not the entire joint, and cleaning up the mess behind it. But, he has to consent to the entire job, just in case it turns out to be worse than they think.

Of course, he has scheduled this for just the time we move back into the house, so guess who gets to schlep everything up and down and over?

I got put in time-out in the chat for the rest of the game because I had the temerity to suggest that Pharty, the Party Animals mascot, probably stinks. All mascots stink by late in the summer, much less October. It's a very substantial, furry costume. There were 16,000 people watching on Youtube.
