Weekend Open Thread

by thebesig••105

In their move to cater to a small segment of the population, Democrats appear to want to throw other “disadvantaged” groups under the bus. On one hand, they complain about the headwinds against women. On the other hand, they are willing to sacrifice these women’s interests on the altar of wokeness and political correctness. Enjoy your weekend.

    1. Hack Stone is going to reach out to Stacey Abrams to get some tips on claiming that the awarding of first comment was stolen from him, then go on television and state that Hack Stone never said that the first comment title was stolen from him.

      1. Some former-SoS that had a bathroom email server will blame the Lithuanians, or something.

  2. Magic 8 Ball, will the wishes of this great nation be granted by bestowing First Comment for This Ain’t Hell Weekend Open Thread title to the proud but humble Director of Media Hack Stone?

    Magic 8 Ball says…

      1. I don’t know if you, The National Archives or the FIB waved their hands to pry under that banner of TAH Security.

        Who is the ultimate classifying authority here?!?!

        1. The Keeper of the Book of WOT long ago, in a thread far, far away, said something about something. 😇 

          1. I’m just messing around anyway. If it’ll take burden off of any of my fellow DWs/DWettes’ minds I will relinquish any claim.

            Signed,

            Donald J. Roh-Dog

              1. That’s the very image ol’ Poe imagined for our very own TAH service dog, Roh Tin Tin… 😜 

          1. Hack Stone has been entered as the “First” commenter on the 07 Oct 22 WOT.

            Signed:

            The Lowly Keeper (for almost eight years now) of the WOT Book of Firsts.

      2. Sadly for Roh-Dog, the rule has long been that the first poster on WOT to write any form of “first” (e.g. “First”, “first” “1st”) is the actual First Poster for that WOT.

        We have, in the past, actually had the Crowned First of the WOT be the 2nd or 3rd person to post. I don’t remember a 4th actual poster get the “First” post.

        As usual in any organization, the devil is in the details.

        1. I have examined the records and found that on the 02 Oct 15 WOT at 1:13 pm that it was SEA (Silentium Est Aureum) that was declared/entered as being First, although his comment was actually the fifth in line to be posted.

          1. Additional Information:

            A complete review of the 19 page WOT Book of Firsts reveals the following:

            Five (5) Way ties for “First” occurred on: 02 Oct 15, 03 Feb 17, 29 May19, 23 Aug 19, 06 Aug 21, 10 Sep 21, 01 Oct 21, and 07 Jan 22.

            Six (6) Way ties occurred on: 08 Oct 21, 13 May 22, 10 Jun 22 and 05 Aug 22.

            The one and only time that a seven (7) way tie for “First” occurred was on 24 Sep 21 and when the dust and blood from the skirmish cleared it was Roh-Dog that had claimed the title.

    3. Hack may want to wake up to the biological reality that reasonable accommodations will NEVER be made for The Crown of TAH WOT Firstness (see image above).

      Have a great weekend!!

      1. Not to worry, Bro. I leave CongRats for Hack Stone in the Throne. Better than what he normally leaves there.

        Been one of them weeks. Ya know how it is when a 4 hour job has an AW SHIT moment and turns it into a 4 day job? Welp, had two AW SHIT moments. The FIRST (ht 2 (TBA), was, discovered the fish were biting. The 2nd (Mick 2 the Ladies Room) was Home Boy showed up with a fish cooker…and several cases of cold beer. The struggle was real…but the job got done.

      2. What does he want, some kind of bonus seconds subtraction for being mentally handicapped?

  5. Missed it again, by “that much.” So I’ll drop the trivia and wish you all a great weekend!

    DID YOU KNOW…?
    How many Chinese actors have played the role of detective Charlie Chan in the movies?
    By Commissioner Wretched
    didyouknowcolumn@gmail.com
     
    Can you believe that 2022 is almost over? I mean, here we are in October, man!

    Were you aware that a long time ago, October was actually the eighth month of the year? That’s kind of why it’s called “Oct”ober – the oct means eight. So why is it the tenth month now? 

    Because the calendar changed in the 16th Century.

    See, the first day of Spring used to be the start of the year, under the old Julian calendar. But when the Gregorian calendar came into use, Pope Gregory XIII arbitrarily changed New Year’s Day to January 1st, making what was once the eleventh month of the year the first month.

    1. That had the additional benefit of making February, the shortest – and formerly 12th – month become the second, though the days weren’t realigned to go with that.

      Enough history. Let’s get to the trivia!

      Did you know …
      
      … The Muppet Show is banned from television in Saudi Arabia? The popular program was banned because one of the stars of the show, Miss Piggy, is a pig. Pigs are considered unclean animals in Islam. Oddly, however, Israel – where the Jewish faith also doesn’t look kindly on swine – has no such ban, and Muppet characters are wildly popular, even Miss Piggy.

      1. These ME examples just demonstrate the narrow-minded stupidity of that religion of piece. First, Miss Piggy is an imaginary cartoon character, not a real porcine. Query: Does the SA Kingdom have the same ban on dog cartoon characters like Goofy and Pluto? Cuz dogs are also considered unclean and haram.

        1. It likely does if you are sharing it with an ISIS ‘Slamonazi, whether he wants to eat it or not. Pork, the meat that can be used as an interrogation tool and a psychological weapon.

    2. … one of the most important things for an astronaut in space is airflow? Yes, I know they need oxygen, but they also need that oxygen to flow constantly. Otherwise, they can wake up oxygen-deprived. A bubble of carbon dioxide from their own breathing can form around their heads if air isn’t constantly moving in zero gravity. (So the biggest power consumer on the Space Station is the air conditioner?)

    3. … J. Edgar Hoover (1895-1972), first director of the FBI, actually wanted to be president? Hoover felt he could unseat the popular Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882-1945) in the election of 1936. Hoover had FBI agents conduct a “poll” in the South and Southwest to gauge support, and the agents were told to say that the Director was a “great man” and “we’d be better off if Hoover was president.” Hoover was mortified when he learned that local law enforcement leaders didn’t even like him as head of the FBI. (Now, if they’d interviewed Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. or David Duchovny, they might’ve gotten a different response. Look it up.)

    4. … Yellowstone National Park may one day wipe out much of the life on Earth? Got your attention, I see. Well, while Yellowstone is home to great beauty, natural geysers and abundant wildlife, it is also sitting on top of one of the largest supervolcanoes on Earth. A few years ago, I mentioned that a supervolcano in what is now Indonesia once almost caused humans to become extinct. The Yellowstone supervolcano erupts once every 700,000 or so years, scientists say. The last one was 640,000 years ago. You do the math. (But if that happens, where do Yogi Bear and Boo Boo go?)

      1. “(But if that happens, where do Yogi Bear and Boo Boo go?)”

        Ashes to ashes and dust to dust, just bury the bears and get on the bus. 😉 

    5. … the role of Chinese detective Charlie Chan has never been played by a Chinese actor on film? During the period from 1926 to 1981, a total of fifty motion pictures were produced with the famous detective as a primary or main supporting character. In those films, the Honolulu-based Chan was played by (in order of appearance) George Kuwa (1885-1931), Sojin Kamiyama (1884-1954), E. L. Park (1876-1948), Warner Oland (1879-1938), Manuel Arbo (1898-1973), Sidney Toler (1874-1947), Roland Winters (1904-1989), Ross Martin (1920-1981), and Peter Ustinov (1921-2004). Of these, only Kuwa and Kamiyama were not Caucasian; they were Japanese, though the character of Charlie Chan is Chinese. Additional trivia note: Though Charlie Chan was never portrayed by a Chinese actor, his “Number One Son” Lee Chan was played by Chinese actor Keye Luke (1904-1991). Charlie Chan was created in a series of novels by Earl Derr Biggers (1884-1933).

    6. … starfish have a bizarre way of eating? A starfish eats by regurgitating its stomach on top of whatever it wants to eat. If the starfish isn’t happy with its meal, it can detach the stomach and grow a new one. (I don’t know … that saves a few steps …)

      … there are no penguins at the North Pole? There are also no polar bears at the South Pole. (So that explains why penguins are not on a polar bear’s menu!)

      … hippopotamuses can sleep underwater? They have a natural reflex that allows them to bob up to the surface, take a breath, and sink back down … without waking up. (I wonder if they dream about drowning?)

      … you could be a pluviophile? If you are, it means you like the rain. (Rain, rain, go away, come again another day. What does that make me? Besides a lousy poet, I mean.)

      1. There is still a North Pole?
        I was lied to!

        Learned something new today!

        Thanks for the trivias. Always a treat.

      2. “… there are no penguins at the North Pole? There are also no polar bears at the South Pole. (So that explains why penguins are not on a polar bear’s menu!)”

        So, you are saying polar bears and penguins are not bi-polar? 😆 

    7. … humans and Tasmanian devils have something in common? According to scientists, they are each the last surviving species of their genus. (And rightly so!)

      … the first song ever played on Mars was “Happy Birthday to You”? The Mars Rover Curiosity played the song to itself on August 5, 2013, the first anniversary of its landing on the Red Planet. (And Curiosity held its own little birthday party for itself!)

      … the humble turkey wasn’t always so humble? Historians say that in about the year 300 BC, the Mayans of Central and South America worshipped turkeys. They considered the birds to be vessels of their gods. (And they still can’t fly.)

      … 67% of dog owners buy holiday gifts for their pets? (So, what’s your point?)

      Now … you know!

      1. “(And they still can’t fly.)”

        Wild turkeys fly quite well.

        As a matter of fact, if you don’t see them before they flush, it will scare you just a little, sort of like quail, only louder.

        1. Turkey ‘flying’ is more like ‘really energetic altitude gaining-ish to then semi-gracefully fall with wing-like structures’.

          I’ve chased some off a ridge line and they struggled to glide 200 feet with a change in elevation of a hundred feet, running into almost every sapling on the way.

          1. Busted one out of his roost over a 100′ bluff, he soared bigly with the updraft for several hundred yards over the lower treetops.

            I have watched wild turkeys do some amazing things.

            1. I have done some amazing things on Wild Turkey…..supposedly…back in the day. Theoretically. Allegedly.  😃 

            2. I’m jealous. To witness such a thing musta been magical!

              Maybe they’re just stupider or fatter here in New England.

              I tell you what tho, they’re smart enough to avoid me when I’m out in the woods shivering my nuts off, trying to bring one home for dinner!

              1. Been sitting, shivering in my ladder stand during GDS, when I heard, then saw them approach. Amazing how quickly I was warmed up from the excitement of having them walk right behind my tree.

              2. Few years back, the Poe’s watched a large flock of 15-20 turkeys launch into flight across an Ozark highway as we approached at about 70 mph. They got about 15 feet up before beginning their very coordinated glide into the forest on the other side of the road, a level aerial feat of perhaps 100 to 150 feet,

                It was quite impressive…

        2. And, they smash the s**t out of windshields if one is unfortunate enough to have a turkey fly into the windshield.

    8. Pope Gregory XII just wanted to create equity in the order of months. Why should January and February be put at the end of the line just because they are the newest?

  7. It’s kinda Rho-Dog but not but Hack but who knows…

    CLAW!?!?!?!?

    As usual, it was 1 and I started working on my work crap and then I looked up and it’s 3:07.
    Oh well. I’m here, I’m not queer, get used to it. Or something like that.  😅 

    1. We should let the Congress sort this out, as its always worked out for the will of the people.

  8. Ever gracious in defeat, Hack Stone would like to take this opportunity to wish all of you Semi-Fascist Ultra-MAGA Adorable Deplorables a Happy Columbo Day Weekend, and of you stray from your charted course this weekend as you navigate your environmentally friendly electric vehicle, you are not lost, you are discovering new worlds.

    2. The wife and I saw a Tesla yesterday that the front end was falling off of it. No damage seen, but it could have dragged the front end trim on a parking bumper or one of Michigan’s famous pot holes. Looked to be about maybe $1k damage to any other vehicle, probably $5K+ on that Tesla.

      1. If Elon wants to sell electric vehicles, he needs to develop an affordable electric PU equivalent to a 4cyl. 4×4, that is capable of going off road, that can withstand mud and can be utilized as a work truck.

  9. I identify as first. So fuck off.

    Seriously, may all you Dickweeds and Weedettes enjoy the weekend!

    P.S.
    There once was a sniffer named Joe
    Whose son enjoyed hookers and blow
    They grifted much cash
    Saved it in a big stash
    And the FBI claims not to know.

    P.P.S.
    Fuck Joe Biden
    The apple’s near the tree
    Hunter’s need for crack and whores
    Reflects his family.

  11. I’m setting up a totally legitimate fund to con-test the fraud perpetrated bigly upon me and my pocket lint by the Deep Admins and the lying media.

    I promise to continue thinking about, occasionally, Making TAH Great Again!

        1. Hmmm, generally Not Shallow is adequate for general use by the nautically challenged. Greater granularity is available to professionals as needed for the task at hand.
          In other words, down doggie.
          *grin*

          1. Granularity??? What’s breakfast cereal got to do with it?

            And doggie is Roh Tin Tin, not moi… 😉 

  13. OK SO I’m piling on…I don’t think this has been posted since his comment (supposed to be off mic) the other day (Wednesday) so…enjoy.

      3. Meanwhile there have been 3 flights from Alexandria, LA (illegal processing center HQ) and border city Del Rio, Tx to Yakima, Washington (farming community) this past month.

  17. Unaccountably here.

    Busy day. Funeral for the grandmother of one of our Scouting daughters, catching up with her and her husband, then rush home for a drop-in visit from another of our Scouting daughters and her girls, with a surprise drop-in of Airborne Son’s good friend from his old unit with his wife & daughter, and take delivery of 20 meat chickens to butcher tomorrow.

    Tired as all get-out, but life is sure good.

        1. Southern ‘Q is the finest dish a yard bird can aspire to participate in, and it’s great for starter chefs to learn the style.
          Low and slow is the key.

          1. HEB sells a charcoal made from mesquite chips, I believe in Mexico.
            A BBQ pit stoked with that and a yard bird raised by a kid for the county fair will heal a vegan and set them free! from their blindness.

    1. I can’t see how it could possibly make a blue state big city public school any worse.

    1. Even if he were charged, Joe’s handlers would likely have their meat-puppet pardon him. I am sure they don’t want a vindictive first son talking to the media. Either that or he will be offered some sweetheart deal with a fine and no time to serve.

      1. Gangster’s sons do well in prison.

        He’d probably identify as a woman and have his run of the guards in a new, federally-mandated, models-to-corrections CO program.

  21. Oh geez.
    MORE INCOMING,
    from the horse’s mouth
    (J.R. Majewski),
    likely TODAY.

    2:34 news video at the link below.

    [Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose,
    who served as an Army Green Beret and earned a Bronze Star,
    will campaign with JR Majewski this weekend,
    who has been accused of misrepresenting his own military record.]

    [LaRose to campaign with Majewski Saturday,
    says it’s “up to him” to explain military record]

    https://www.13abc.com/video/2022/10/06/larose-campaign-with-majewski-saturday-says-it-up-him-explain-military-record/

    1. Worse….
      The article by Phony Defender National File,
      pushed by MT Greene on Twitter,
      and retweeted by J.R Majewski,
      today, hours ago.

      Still riding those (debunked) phony pony excuses to NF?
      Yep.

    2. October 10 fundraiser event.

      3 state corner counties of Ohio,
      OUTSIDE J.R. Majewski’s 9th district.

      Check out the dollar amounts.
      Platinum?
      lol

        1. Can we make our donation with counterfeit money. It would only seem appropriate in this case.

            1. BONUS –
              J.R. Majewski posted his press release link
              on his Book of the Fake,
              referring to the original AP story as “lies”.

              EXTRA BONUS – J.R turned comments OFF.

            2. Classic phony pony “combat” BS
              from J.R. Majewski’s “Official Statement”.

              [For those quarreling over any instance where I have been referred to as a “combat veteran” and arguing over different definitions of the term—

              I and others I know have just considered it to mean performing duties in designated combat zones, including Qatar, Afghanistan, and other areas of the Middle East.

              As I understand it, this is the definition given to me by the U.S. government, and why I received Imminent Danger Pay throughout my deployment in the region.]

              ??? Given by the U.S. Government ???

                1. SFC D (& site admins),
                  I do not recall
                  Phony Afghanistan Combat Veteran
                  J.R. Majewski telling tall Taliban tales…

                  … but J.R. has been throwing “combat”
                  all over the place,
                  ever since his yard paint show.

                  Worse,
                  J.R. NOW claims…..
                  that the U.S. Government told him
                  to consider himself
                  (and everyone else in 20 Middle East regions)
                  a “combat veteran”.

                  And this is his “Official Statement”
                  (of explanations and excuses)?

                  Does the shit get any deeper?

  22. Question for any barracks (and, preferably, legitimate) lawyers out there…

    If I open a bar, is it legal policy to refuse to serve alcohol to pregnant women?

    How open am I to litigation if this were a blanket policy?

    Pregnant men can drink on the house, if they can prove it.

    1. I suspect it strongly depends upon the state in which you live.

      Texas allows an establishment to refuse service pretty much at will. To stay in business one better have a pretty good reason to deny service to a demographic such as ‘pregnant women’ but it would be hard to lose customers over defending the health of unborn babies in most of Texas. (Austin and Houston may be exceptions to that – or may not.)

      I’d ask a business lawyer in your state for details.
