Weekend Open Thread

| October 6, 2023

The results of lifting weights being seen as “fat shaming”? This adds to other arguments being advanced of what constitutes fat shaming, such as informing people of proper eating habits, of the need to exercise, or of the appreciation of a woman wearing swimwear (20th Century standards). This meme is an example of people fighting back against this argument. Enjoy your weekend!

Oh, all knowing and wise Magic 8 Ball, will the stars shine down upon a worthy Director of Media Relations for a proud but humble woman owned company to maintain his strong and benevolent grip upon his subjects in the colonies known as This Ain’t Hell, allowing King Hack to remain on the throne and retain the title of First Post on The Weekend Open Thread? Magic 8-Ball says…

FORMAL PROTEST! Time stamp showed exactly the same time of the post! The updates that TVI made the other night gave the crayon munching Stoned Hacker an inside path with his outdated Y3K Software to steal the Thunder from The King of Battle for the Coveted TAH Friday Weekend Open Thread FIRST. Me thinks that there was warm beer or Scot’s Whiskey involved here.

Drop your dime…won’t take ’em long to get here, since…they’re already here…surrounding FB Magnolia on all sides. To the east is the white gal divorcee’ posing as a grandmother raising her grandchild and her adult son. SW corner is the blaq chick gran’ma posing as a state court clerk officer, “working from home”. To the west is the retired widow woman and her care taker daughter. The overall handler claims to be a yard man that sure cuts the grass often. Odd how the leggy Ms Brunette Thang UPS driver is asking why marked boxes of ammo are arriving since that tragic boat accident (an occurrence that I’ve never mentioned to her…hmmm). She’s also curious over the food shipments from MPS. Sister Golden Haired Surprise FedEx Ms Thang ask “How many dogs do you have” every time she delivers more boxes from Chewy…Hmmm The deer grazing just beyond the North Wall seem to have an almost robotic walk about them and they never blink.

And then there’s this….hmmmm

“Woman’s Box Of Giraffe Poop That She Was Planning On Making Into A Necklace Seized At Minneapolis Airport”

https://nypost.com/2023/10/05/womans-box-of-giraffe-poop-seized-at-minneapolis-airport/

“A woman was stopped by Customs and Border Patrol officers at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport last week after she was found with giraffe poop that she planned to make into a necklace.”

“The droppings were seized by border officials on Sept. 29 after a woman returning from Kenya declared the animal feces, prompting an inspection by CBP agriculture specialists.”

“The passenger stated that she obtained the droppings while on her trip and intended to make a necklace.”

“She told CBP officers that she had previously used moose poop to make jewelry at her home in Iowa.”

“Animal feces from Kenya could contain African Swine Fever, Classical Swine Fever, Newcastle disease, Foot and Mouth disease, and Swine Vesicular Disease.”

“A Veterinary Services Permit is required to bring feces into the United States.”

It’s funny watching gym culture and the resulting memes fighting back against wokeness. There’s the “Chad” versus the “Soy Boy”.

Then you have people like Joey Swoll tackling the toxicity that comes with some gym-types. It seems that there’s a bunch of (mostly female) TikTok and other “influencers” who love calling out guys for daring to glance at them or walk past their phone.

Reminds me that I pay for AnyTime Fitness and need to quit being lazy. I’m still young and fit enough to get “gains” without gaining pounds.

Happy 100th Birthday, BG Norman C. Gaddis…We Salute You! 🎂🥂🎈🎉

“Retired Air Force Brigadier General, Vietnam POW Celebrates 100th Birthday In Louisburg”

https://www.cbs17.com/news/local-news/vietnam-prisoner-of-war-celebrates-100th-birthday-louisburg-north-carolina/

“Retired Air Force Brigadier General Norman C. Gaddis celebrated his 100th birthday in Louisburg on Saturday.”

“Nearly 200 friends, family, dignitaries as well as current and former military members gathered at the Triangle North Executive Airport in Franklin County to celebrate the former Vietnam Prisoner of War.”

“Norman Gaddis was born in 1923 in Dandridge, Tennessee and enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1942. He entered the Aviation Cadet Program in July 1943, receiving his commission as a 2nd Lieutenant in the U.S. Army Air Forces in 1944.”

“In November 1966, General Gaddis began flying combat missions in Vietnam. He was forced to eject over North Vietnam while flying his 73rd combat mission on May 12, 1967. He spent more than six years as a Prisoner of War of the North Vietnamese and was released during Operation Homecoming on March 4, 1973.”

“General Gaddis retired from the Air Force in 1976 with more than 4,300 flying hours. He flew aircraft including the P-40 Warhawk, P-47 Thunderbolt, P-51 Mustang, F-80 Shooting Star, F-84 Thunderjet, F-86 Sabre, F-100 Super Sabre, F-4 Phantom II, T-33, T-34 Mentor, and T-38 Talon.”

A two-fer for Hack Stone! Incredible! A photo finish with the King of Battle … the race track should be this exciting! And with all that said, I apologize for the lateness of the trivia, but I was “on assignment” for the Daily Planet today. Here ’tis, friends, and enjoy!

DID YOU KNOW…?
What were the first musical instruments ever played in space?
By Commissioner Wretched
didyouknowcolumn@gmail.com

Sometimes I say too much for my own good, and other times I don’t say enough.

A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned the Lewis and Clark expedition and how only one member died. I had a line which said, “Despite the unknown territory, hostile Natives, and questionable food and lodging…” and it turns out I made a rather egregious omission.

When the expedition emerged from the Bitterroot Mountains in very bad shape, they were taken in by friendly Nez Perce and given a feast, shown hospitality and given help with tools to continue their journey.

Not all of the natives were hostile; the Nez Perce were a godsend to the expedition.

I stand corrected, and I thank my dear friend who pointed it out to me. Now, for this week!

Did you know …

… the famous mascot of Notre Dame University was a little different when it was created? When the school decided to use a leprechaun as its emblem for the “Fighting Irish,” an artist named Ted Drake (1907-2000) was commissioned to create the image. Drake’s original depiction is used today, except for one thing – the artist included a bottle of whiskey at the leprechaun’s feet. The school asked that the booze be removed, and it was. (That’s why the leprechaun is so fighting mad, you see.)

Commissioner Wretched

… baseball card photos are taken during spring training? For most of the companies that produce such collectibles, photos of players are taken with caps on, and with caps off – just in case the player is traded to another team. (The card printers are also wizards with the airbrush, taking out team logos from shirts as needed.)

… an animal rights group really takes itself seriously? PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) once asked the musical group Pet Shop Boys to change their name to Rescue Shelter Boys. (I’ll let you guess what the group’s answer was.)

… three out of every four products available in a supermarket contain corn? (I could say the same thing about my jokes, you know. I might as well. Everybody else says it.)

… stores take advantage of you during the Christmas holidays? While you probably already knew that, you may not have known this: retailers have been known to use aromas linked with Christmas to make you buy more. For example, some stores are known to use the smell of roasting chestnuts in their stores and offer free samples of Christmas cookies. The aroma stimulates the salivary glands and makes shoppers hungry … and you buy more of everything, not just food. (Now that’s a dirty trick. Clever, but dirty.)

ninja

“three out of every four products available in a supermarket contain corn.”

We watched a video about corn…that everything comes from corn to not only the food we eat, but also fuel, makeup, toys, etc…

https://www.iowacorn.org/education/corn-its-everything

Commissioner Wretched

… the first musical instruments played in space were a harmonica and bells? During the flight of Gemini 6 in December of 1965, command pilot Wally Schirra (1923-2007) told Mission Control that he spotted “an object, looks like a satellite going from north to south in a polar orbit.” Then the delighted people at Mission Control heard the song “Jingle Bells” being played on a harmonica with bell accompaniment. Schirra and his co-pilot, Tom Stafford (born 1930) smuggled the instruments aboard their ship before liftoff and played for the upcoming Christmas holiday. The instruments are now in the Smithsonian Insititute in Washington. (And in case you were wondering, the “satellite” Schirra was talking about was driven by a little old man with eight tiny reindeer.)

… the world came close to being sent back to the 19th Century in 2012? A coronal mass ejection, or an output of tremendous waves of radiation from the Sun, missed Earth by just nine days. The event happened on the Sun on July 23, but because Earth was not in the direct path of the material, it did no real damage. Had that coronal mass ejection interacted with our planet, the entire satellite system would have gone out, significant damage would have been done to the world’s electrical systems, and one researcher said the total damages done could have had a $2.6 trillion price tag. (And that, my friends, would have been a very bad day.)

… it is possible to walk from Delaware to California? A coast-to-coast hiking trail called the American Discovery Trail runs a total of 6,800 miles beginning in Cape Henlopen, Delaware, and running across the continental United States to its end near San Francisco, California. The trail passes through Maryland, West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah and Nevada. (It’s possible to walk, but it will take you a while.)

… the first automobile sold with a closed-in body was marketed in 1905? It was a car known as the Osceola, the first to offer solid protection from outside elements. The car was designed by Henry Leland (1843-1932), who later went on to establish both the Lincoln Motor Company and the Cadillac Automobile Company. (On those rainy or very cold mornings, now you know who you have to thank for a closed-in car.)

… the Germans have developed a tool which breaks eggs perfectly? It’s called an (take a deep breath before you try to say it) Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher. (Which is German for, “It’s easier and cheaper to break the egg on the side of the frying pan.”)

… only two nations in the Western Hemisphere have French as their official language? One is Canada, where the language shares “official” billing with English. The other is Haiti. Additional trivia note: French Guiana, on the coast of South America, does indeed use French – but it is not a nation. It is a colony of France. (Thought you had me there, didn’t you?)

… the least common day on which to be born is May 22? By comparison, the most common day is September 16. In fact, more people are born in September than any other month. (Your humble correspondent being amongst them.)

Now … you know!

ninja

“In fact, more people are born in September than any other month.”

Additional trivia note: French Guiana, on the coast of South America, does indeed use French – but it is not a nation. It is a colony of France. (Thought you had me there, didn’t you?)”

Those may be the only two in the Americas, but there are many others in the Western Hemisphere, proper, for which French is the official language:

Guinea, Côte d’Ivoire, and Senegal are all entirely in the Western Hemisphere. An argument can be made that French Polynesia is, at least nominally, a “country,” too (but this is only nominal, and I wouldn’t consider it a “nation” in its own right).

Burkina Faso, Togo, and even European France itself are partially in the Western Hemisphere.

I probably missed a few.

You got me. I was referencing the Americas … dang. And me a retired history teacher at that.

I’ll correct that in the column introduction soon.

Photo shopped finish is what it wuz, CW. Upon posting both entries read “8 seconds ago”. A nefarious plot by TVI and the Hackster. How did HS get to Jolly Ol’ England? You know that if HS’s Company can’t keep the Company Car on the road or afford a door for the mailbox, they certainly aren’t going to spring for plane tickets. Dave’s boat is not at the slip. The servers are on Dave’s boat, in the closet behind The Soviets lingerie chest. Make of that what you will. “on assignment”? pffft! Trying not to scoop Lois Lane, you were scoping out Lois Lane, ya dog!

There is an excellent Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center in Nebraska City NE. On a journey there, back in ’15 I followed a good portion of the path thru MO. When I crossed over Big Tater Creek that was feeding Roach Lake, I didn’t know if I would need butter, bug spray, or a clip.

FIRST THIRTISH

Dennis - not chevy

Monday, as someone just told me is Columbus Day. A day when leftists will be peacefully out and about.

I have to wonder why the leftists hate Columbus. I believe Winston Churchill said that Columbus was the first socialist. Churchill said something like this, “Columbus was the first socialist. He didn’t know where he was going when he left, he didn’t know where he was when he got there. and he got someone else to pay for the trip.”

SFC D

I’m pretty sure he was banging Queen Isabella. And aren’t we supposed to call it “Indigenous Peoples Day”?

is that a 21 or 23? The picture is blurry on my screen.

American Legion post 21 is in CA, 23 is in CA
VFW post 21 is in PA, post 23 is in PA
Amvets post 21 is in FL, post 23 is in MI

I don’t think that is a CA, PA, FL, nor MI plate.

MarineDad61

Dennis,
You’re already gettin’ warm.
It’s [POST 23]. I took the photo this morning.
Great guess on the Pennsylvania plate,
even with the chrome license plate frame.
🙂

MarineDad61

Dennis,
Also, American Legion post numbers are issued at the state level,
with multiple redundant post numbers all over the USA.

Good news, this is NOT American Legion related.

Final HINT to this Stolen Valor quiz –

perhaps 5 years ago,
it was on a DIFFERENT TRUCK.

Stolen Valor Quiz – ANSWER

Mid 1990s –
Joined VFW as a “Vietnam Veteran”.
Wife joined VFW (formerly Ladies’) Auxiliary.
Wife employed as canteen barmaid.

Mid 2000s –
Put custom PA license plate on his truck.
Active at meetings.
Elected to officer posts,
including 2 YEARS as POST COMMANDER.

Late 2010s –
10 years AFTER serving as Post Commander,
questioned hard about his service, and
confessed to having NEVER been in or near Vietnam.
VFW ineligible.
No longer a Post Member of the VFW.

PHONY VIETNAM VETERAN.

NOTE –
Wife remains a canteen barmaid and Auxiliary member,
still eligible due to her father’s war service.
Excellent barmaid, highly respected and trusted.
But she’s (still) married to him.

2020 –
PLAQUE – Brass name plate on
VFW Past Post Commanders plaque REMOVED,
leaving a blank spot with 2 screw holes.
A grim reminder for everyone who sees, and anyone who asks.

2023 (VERIFIED) –
Kept custom license plate on old truck all along.
Transferred same custom license plate to newer truck.

———

Thanks for following along.

I may have ANOTHER Stolen Valor quiz in the next week or three.

From the thread, “The results of lifting weights being seen as “fat shaming”? Really now!

Then why are they not ALL over every f’in athlete in the world? Aren’t their lifestyles and practices fat-shaming them also? Maybe they all want a world where everyone else eats a couple of pork roasts a day, before dinner. To hell with this nonsense and it is absolute nonsense. Your doc tells you your heart, liver, pancreas, etc. are failing because you are overweight and you tell him, he’s fat-shaming you. Great, then don’t see any docs anymore, save your money and order that 10XXX extra-large coffin and cemetery plot before the prices go up.

Since the mainstream media and Facebook no longer have any news articles or memes about the residents displaced in the Maui fires, can we assume that the Biden-Harris Administration came in, cleaned up the mess, erected new housing, and provided the residents who lost all of their possessions a grant to acquire basic necessities?

Hack Stone,
NEW articles almost daily on Maui,
found with a simple deployment of the Fu of Google (tab to “News”).

FaceBook also has news posts,
but it takes more digging in the search tool to reveal them.

Click here, then click “News” tab.

Any building with an antenna array should be leveled. Any para glider should be shot down as well.

Hit every one of their electrical substations, water treatment plants, wastewater treatment plants, pumping stations, post hole their roads, and drop every bridge in Gaza. Leave them in the Stone Age where they belong. Good luck rebuilding the electrical infrastructure…I’m in that business and you can’t get a substation transformer in less than 2 years right now.

Oh, and when the UN gives them new shit, blow THAT up too.

The only power station for Gaza is in Israel, they took out their own power.

The power plant is in Israel? Open the breakers that feed Gaza. However, there’s gotta be substations to distribute power to different neighborhoods in Gaza. Blow those up and it makes it harder to use generators to get power to their buildings.

Agreed. I stand with Israel.

The Washington Post, ruining yet another pleasure people may have by tying it to racism. And they wonder why their circulation numbers are lower than quarterly sales numbers for a proud but humble woman owned business that sells outdated and overpriced Red Hat Software to the Federal Government.
