Weekend Open Thread
In one of the threads, commenters on this site collectively got described as a “clown show”. This gave me an idea for a meme. I was going to use this image on another blog article but swapped it out for another image. Enjoy your weekend!

First!
Trifecta…AGAIN! You are hotter than Lois Lane, CW…Have a Kong Rat!
Nobody is hotter than Lois, King … and she sends her regards!
*Cough cough* OAM, AHEM!!
Congrats again on your Firstness CW.
Hour and a half late and 35th-irst.
Screw you and your Moms too…all of you….derilicts….
Except the lionesses of TAH (h/t EX-PH2…who I talked/remembered to early this am in my prayers. )
Smooches bitch-titties.
I miss The Lioness.
I stand corrected, Chip … OAM is indeed hotter than Lois.
Don’t tell Lois I said that.
First
Dammit! Congrats, Commish.
Thanks, Mustang! I think this was a fraction-of-a-second win. Great job on your part, too!
Pappy, you may want to demand a recount here. Nano sloppy seconds be damned. Hie thyself off to the TAH Complaint department. When you get to that floor just go to Hellan Waite. I do believe that our stoned hacker is onto something with his Vast Chicken Wing Conspiracy.
Our TAH customer service professionals are standing by.

4th? 😎
Try….sixth
Well, top ten anyway. Not bad for a random shot while I was sitting by the pool😎
Ah, Commisar– he’s always so entertaining! /sarc
I hope you’re not confusing me with the resident Commie/Leftist/Marxist/Whatever the hell he is. He’s Commissar … I’m the Commissioner. (And I had my handle first.)
Naw, I’m dinging good ol’ Lars there… as much of a legend in his own mind (which does get everyone engaged) as he is.
If you could buy him for what he’s really worth, then sell him for what he THINKS he’s worth you could retire richer than Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos combined!
Having secured yet another week on the TAH WOT Throne of FIRSTs, I am pleased to say the Class VI stores are open, the larders are ready to be plundered, and while you all enjoy the trivia I’m about the give you … Lois Lane and I will be off plotting how I’ll try to make it three in a row next week.
DID YOU KNOW…?
Why did Babe Ruth never achieve his dream of managing a Major League Baseball team?
By Commissioner Wretched

Several years back, I had an item in the column that said something to the effect of, “if you put a grape into a microwave, it will explode.”
I recently received an e-mail from a reader who wanted to dispute that. He had, he asserted, placed a grape in his microwave oven, and it didn’t explode. No matter how long he left the grape in there, it didn’t go “pop.”
Intrigued, I asked how long he had the oven running and at what power level.
“What?” was his reply. “You mean I have to turn the oven on to make the grape explode?”
I love all of my readers! Especially the ones who make me laugh.
Did you know …
… Hawaii has an official state fish? Well, of course it does; it’s an island state, after all. But the name of the state fish may be a little tough to deal with. It’s (take a really deep breath now) the humuhumunukunukuapuaa. If that’s too much of a mouthful – and believe me, it is – try calling it the reef triggerfish. That’s easier to say, anyway. (Of course, you could always go with “Hey you!”)
… allspice is wrongly named? Though it sounds as if it’s a collection of “all spices” into one, allspice is really the ground-up powder of the berries of a tropical plant called Pimenta dioica. If you don’t want the ground-up version, you can get the whole berries, which look a lot like peppercorns. (I suppose calling it “onespice” made no sense.)
… the 1939 movie The Wizard of Oz was not the first time the story was told outside of a book? Based on the 1900 novel by L. Frank Baum (1856-1919), the story was first staged in a Broadway musical in 1902. Baum is credited as one of the playwrights, though much of the script was actually penned by Glen MacDonough (1870-1924). In fact, the story was told on film twice before the classic 1939 movie – in 1910 and again in 1925. The 1910 silent film version, which ran only 13 minutes, starred Bebe Daniels (1901-1971) as Dorothy. The role was played in the 1925 comedy version by Dorothy Dwan (1906-1981). The classic performance of the role, of course, was by Judy Garland (1922-1969) in the iconic 1939 production. (Follow the yellow brick road!)
… one of baseball’s greatest players never became a manager possibly because of racism? After he retired as a player, Babe Ruth (1895-1948) wanted nothing in life more than to manage a Major League Baseball team. Several reasons have been given in the years since then why Ruth never managed, but baseball historians, his friends and family members say it was primarily because of the then-Commissioner of Baseball, Kenesaw Mountain Landis (1886-1944). Landis was determined to keep players of color out of the major leagues, and he felt Ruth – who made it a habit to play exhibitions with Negro League and Cuban league teams and players – would lobby to have players of color on his team. The “color line” would not be broken in modern Major League Baseball until 1947, one year before Ruth’s death, when the Brooklyn Dodgers called up second baseman Jackie Robinson (1919-1972), by which time Landis and his ideas were long dead.
… the longest chess match ever took over 20 hours? In 1989, Ivan Nikolic (born 1978) and Goran Arsovic (born 1967) needed more than 269 moves to play the match. And after all those moves and all that time, the match ended in a draw. (Or exhaustion, take your pick.)
… it’s easy to get out if you ever get lost in Central Park? New York City’s famous park, located in the middle of Manhattan, features lamp posts that will guide you out. Each lamp post in the park has a set of four numbers on it. The first two numbers tell you the nearest cross street, while the last two tell you whether you’re closer to the west or east edge of the park. Even numbers signal east, while odd numbers signal west. (If you get lost in Central Park, you’d be useless in rural America.)
… citizens of the nation of Monaco are not allowed to gamble in the casinos in Monte Carlo? That’s the bad news. The good news is, they aren’t taxed. (Which means the good news far outweighs the bad. I’m moving to Monaco.)
… a classic television series almost featured a star who later became a talk-show giant? The Dick Van Dyke Show, which aired from 1961 to 1966, was created by comedian and writer Carl Reiner (1922-2020). Reiner had starred in the pilot for the show, then called Head of the Family, but the pilot did not sell. Reiner reworked the show and set about casting the new lead character role, which as we all know went to Dick Van Dyke (born 1925). The role came down to Van Dyke and one other actor – Johnny Carson (1925-2005). Carson lost the role but went on to become host of The Tonight Show for 30 years, from 1962 to 1992. Van Dyke was cast because producer Sheldon Leonard (1907-1997) saw him in the Broadway production of Bye Bye Birdie and felt he was best for the part. (I wonder what they’d have called it if Carson had won the role?)
How could someone get lost in central park?
It’s not even 1/10 the size of the state forest by me and all those piles of granite look alike.
A few other “almost starring” casting choices included Carroll O’Connor as “Skipper” Jonas Grumby on Gilligan’s Island and Gene Hackman as Mike Brady on The Brady Bunch.
Your grape story reminds me of the famous Australian lyric “If you want your boomerang to come back, first you have to throw it.”
… a Boston family was the victim of a bizarre burglary in 2019? Nate Roman (born 1975) came home from work along with his son on May 15, 2019, and discovered that his house had been broken into. But oddly, nothing was missing. Instead, the burglars had thoroughly cleaned Roman’s home, making every room “neat as a pin.” Police never solved the unusual crime. (I’d like to have that person break into my house some time.)
… despite the huge amount of stuff in orbit around Earth, only one satellite has ever been destroyed by a meteor? It happened in 1993, when the European Space Agency’s Olympus-1 satellite was hit by a meteor during the Perseid meteor shower that year. (A cosmic bull’s-eye!)
Now … you know!
Welp, CW, you knocked another one out of the park…which is central to what you do. A sure bet that we will be entertained and educated every week. I propose a toast of fermented grapes and a serving of the Official Fish of Firebase Magnolia…fillets of formerly finned, bewhiskered fellows…with hush puppies, cold slaw, and hand cut fried taters. It will trigger you to take a nap, get a candy bar, and leave the KP duties to others.
Lois’s chest is a good match of Laura Petrie’s. I could play with them for more than 20 hours, making 269 moves, and not get exhausted. Oh…wait…you said chess?…That’s the fancy checkers game, right? Oops, my bad. Speaking of checkers… I would check her out tho. Always thought that MTM was kinda hot and it wasn’t just because her GGrand Pappy was a Corn Federate LT Col with the 4th Virginia Infantry Regiment, part of the Stonewall Brigade, CSA. MTM contributed multiple amounts of $ for the study and preservation of Southern History.

Thank you again, Good Sir!, the trivia is out of this world!
Dinner sounded good til you mentioned catfish. If farm raised, I guess it would be OK. Around here, we have fish stands/restaurants that serve up fresh Mississippi River catfish. Me personally, I wouldn’t eat anything that came out of that river.
North atlantic swordfish steak grilled under the
broiler of a 1950’s natural gas kitchen range.
A little bit of lemon juice squeezed on it.
Nowadays even if you could find the fish it’s
probably a protected species while both the gas
range and the gas itself are banned.
Next up will be a ban on a tuna with mayo sandwiches.
But not, of course, him:
I’ll eat bugs…if you mean shrimps, crabs, crawfish, and lobsters!
Catfish? With a bream pond just down the road? Man, nothin’ beats a mess of fried bluegill. Except maybe a mess of fried Lake Perch or a nice fried walleye!🍺🍺🍺
The pan fish are bedding right now, Pappy. Nothing I throwed out there got their interest. Ol’ Whiskers hit that chicken liver like he was hunter on a hooker. Ten (10) minutes after swimming in the pond them fillets were swimming in hot peanut oil Can’t get no more farm fresher than that.
Last week my wife’s girl friend brought over a lake trout she’d caught.
It’s too easy to forget the finer things about living here in this bountiful land.
Should be out doing my part to reduce the turkey population but apparently to the wife my hammer is sexier than my shotgun. (see below)
Walleye fillets fried up with some butter, lemon, and capers. A few fiddleheads and some ramps (which should both be in season about now)…. I moved to the SW upon retirement, and there’s nothing I miss about the NE more than real forests, good food that isn’t based on corn, and decent hockey.
Pond hopping and perch jerking!
gotta disagree…LOT of books outshone by the movies version. Go wade through “The Count of Monte Cristo”…
(After work, at home now..)
I’ve swum with the fishes in Hawaii, at Hanauma Bay. Including the humuhumu. A wonderful experience back then. Mask and snorkel. Too much fun.
When you live in Hawaii, you get into the rhythm of the language, it becomes fun to say. “U” = “oo”, like “moo”. So…. Hu-mu hu-mu nu-ku nu-ku a-pu a-a.
Off to one side of Hanauma Bay was the “toilet bowl”, a fair sized basin in the lava rock, soft sandy bottom, connected to the ocean by a channel. The ocean wave comes in and fills the bowl. The ocean wave recedes, the “bowl” empties. Lots of fun.
Aaaaand……where there’s a toilet bowl, there’s a “Urinal”. Yes. The “Urinal” is a narrow opening in the lava rocks in the channel that feeds the Toilet Bowl. I went through the Urinal once upon a time. Swimming in the channel, I saw a 1930s era car under the water. Considering the lava rock terrain around there, I still wonder how the f**k it got there.
Happy Friday! I hope everyone had a good week. So, I’ve been thinking for a little bit. My work and home life have become especially busy as of late. I hardly have much time for anything outside of that. In addition, I’m currently in transition inbetween jobs at the moment. It’s better than the job I’ve had (no incompetent bosses, but it’s still cdl trucking so my work will remain busy anyway). I would love to be able to post about random history topics here every week, but I think, with the way my life is right now, every other week will be way more practical. I’ll still be posting history memes on Sunday every week though. Which brings me to this: I was googling a very specific meme for Sunday and Google spit this at me:
I mean are they afraid I’ll offend the Aztecs? Because newsflash: the Aztecs have been dead for centuries. And I wouldn’t really care about offending them any way. They were fucking brutal. There is a reason the Spanish were able to unite many other native tribes against them. I hate how when stupid people talk about history, they make themselves sound like they know what their talking about when they actually don’t. (Sigh) Intellectual arrogance smh.
You say that like it was all bad. Some ancient rituals had merit and are worth looking into for modern use.
Nice meme!
*Yoink!*
What am I doing? Nothing! Why do you ask?
This is our culture. Don’t impose your genocides and fanatics on us.
I studied Aztec civilization from one of the foremost anthropologist experts on their history and culture. They were brutal to the max. They organized provoked “flower wars” with adjacent city states just so they could capture prisoners for their execution ceremonies. The movie “Apocalypto” portrays them very accurately.
I haven’t seen the movie, but I’ll add it to my watch list. Thanks.
Three decades ago, I read “Death of the Fifth Sun,” by Robert Somerlott. What you described above is also described in this novel, and would make as good a movie as “Apocalypto” if they decided to make one.
The Spaniards shown in the “Apocalypto” movie were the Juan de Grijalva expedition. Grijalva is portrayed as the man with white beard. “Death of the Fifth Sun” is a novel told from the perspective of the Aztecs and of the other Indian tribes… The Spaniards (led by Cortez) are outsiders from this perspective.
After the Aztec brutality and inhumanity scenes in the novel, the arrival of the Conquistadores becomes a “welcomed” moment from the reader standpoint.
In case some Latinos rebuke the United States for imperialism… The King of Spain commissioned the Viceroyalty of New Spain to conquer, evangelize, and colonize the Spanish East Indies (in East Asia). A lot of the manpower needed to conquer places like the Philippines came from Mexico and Central America. This was followed by many of the powerful colonial administrators, bishops, and military commanders in Manila coming from Mexico. Folks may be familiar with the Vera Cruz to Cadiz galleon route during the colonial era, but not as much with the Manila to Acapulco route. The colonial government centered in Mexico City ran the Spanish East Indies as if they were a “sub colony” of Mexico.
I was in an art store run by a retired hippy. She was very much into the Native American art; however, if she was Native American, she was in Elizabeth Warren’s tribe. Anyway, she named her favorite piece “Broken Arrow”. She explained how the image would get everyone to think about peace. Meanwhile, my face is turning red to the point she asked if I was okay. I told her what broken arrow means in Military-ese. Oh, the look on her face while she defended the title. Then she kind of apologized for the title bringing up such bad memories. Just to be polite I succeeded in keeping the laughter in until I left the store. My own personal facial blood vessels asked me to not put them through that again, when you gotta laugh, laugh, don’t hold your breath.

The Gateway Pundit has filed for BANKRUPTCY.
Tell enough lies,
spread enough conspiracy theories,
face a pile of lawsuits for doing so….
and you get what you get (deserve).
Anyone (else, other than thebesig) now want to try to tell me about sources, and credibility of sources?
——————————–
(paste) The Gateway Pundit, an influential website
that regularly peddles falsehoods and conspiracy theories,
has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy as it faces multiple defamation suits.
In a statement on The Gateway Pundit website,
Jim Hoft, the outlet’s owner, blamed the “progressive liberal lawfare attacks against our media outlet” and admitted no wrongdoing.
(end paste)
[[[ Notorious far-right blog The Gateway Pundit declares bankruptcy over 2020 election-related lawsuits ]]]
https://www.npr.org/2024/04/24/1246998565/gateway-pundit-bankruptcy-defamation
Hmm, that’s odd. Apparently filing for bankruptcy doesn’t prevent posting news stories. They are still up today posting, and judging by the comments there, people are still reading.
As you say, tell enough lies (i.e.. covid, the economy is good, our borders are secure, peaceful protests), spread enough conspiracy theories ( white supremacist, groomers, drag queen story reading to tender age children).
Maybe a trusted news source should be CNN. Oh wait, wasn’t it Jeffrey toobin(sp?) Who was caught on a zoom call spanking his monkey? Was he telling it at the same time how bad it was, and it must be punished?
You linked NPR. Wasn’t it the head of that publicly funded news organization who said white people are the source of the world problems today? Or was it a college president who is allowing anti semitism to take root in the school they supposedly are in charge of? Does their silence make them complicit in or inept on how to handle.
They filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy because of the cost of defending multiple lawfare defamation suits over their reporting of the fraudulent voting in the 2020 election. They can continue to run the business as the Debtor in Possession. The BK affords a stay of the lawfare bogus lawsuits. Undoubtedly, one of them was filed by Dominion, which we now know had their machines connected to the internet so that vote numbers could be manipulated.
In addition to all that proof in “2000 Mules,” the statistical anomalies, monkey business in Atlanta, Philadelphia, Detroit and many other cities, Tucker shows that about 1/5th of people polled admit that they committed voter fraud with mail-in ballots. Tucker Carlson: 1 in 5 Mail-In Ballots Last Presidential Election Were Fraudulent (rumble.com) One in ten said they knew other people who admitted they did the same.
Yeah, I knew that part about chapter 11. And I know marinedad61 doesn’t think highly of them. I was just giving some examples to him that seem to get a pass from other news agencies.
Odie,
Is anyone else here (besides rgr769)
sticking with the 2000 Mules?
“all that proof”???
Thoroughly debunked,
now a rabbit hole thing
for only the hard core “believers” of yet another unproven conspiracy theory.
As usual you, are full of it. Nothing has been debunked in that movie. You going to tell us all those ballot mules stuffing those drop boxes were crisis actors? Guess you are continuing to believe Gropey Joe. Just like how Hunter’s laptop was “debunked.”
rgr769,
and would never vote for him.
So you know.
So you still defend 2000 Mules?
See the title and photo of this Weekend Open Thread.
Congrats.
You just clowned yourself.
All this mess could have been laid to rest long ago if both sides opened their books to a forensic type audit where they could compare voter rolls to votes cast. Also, why do some seem opposed to cleaning voter records of deceased people. Compare voter rolls with census records and tax files. It would be interesting to know how many people actually live on a weed strewn vacant lot or empty gas station.
But some will fight tooth and nail to oppose that or make someone’s life miserable when they expose 15 people and a dog registered to vote that live in a 1 bedroom 1 bath apartment.
Clowns indeed.
He has become deranged on this issue. You cannot cite anything that will change what he believes about the 2020 election.
I watched a college student admit in a Campus Forum event that Biden will win the next election because most of the millions of illegals will vote for him. He was proud to say so, even though he knows such votes are voter fraud.
Odie, here is your federal government providing docs to illegals/refugees to register to vote in our elections.
Adam Morgan on X: “https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/svg/1f6a8.svgIs the Federal Gov giving voter registration forms to non-citizens? Yes, at least in SC. A refugee sent us this form that was given to her in a packet at the Social Security Office in Spartanburg. She asked “Why are they giving these to non-citizens?” EXACTLY. https://t.co/5IDYhlIzrv” / X (twitter.com)
Odie and rgr769,
Tucker Carlson hasn’t exactly been sticking his landings the past few years, either.
It’s a big part of why he is where he is today.
Conservative Derangement Syndrome hits leftist NPR at least…
It hit there long ago; it has just recently been acknowledged by one of its editors who has worked there for about 30 years. NPR then canned him.
Hope y’all are doing well and have a GREAT weekend!
Doing the demo on the last bit of bad roof. I shit you not there’s an inch and an eighth of asphalt roofing on that rear old porched area with another roof decking (OSB mind you) laid on the shiplap original.
Had to bust out a bay between the rafters to check on how it was ledgered onto the house (make sure I could get up there), mice and squirrels had been living up there so me and the missus got covered in all sorts of nasty. Smoked about $50 dollars of sawzall blades and “MFer”ed ourselves hoarse.
To ease the abuse on the equipment I’m gonna rake all the shingles off the roof and see where life takes us on the rest.

This blast from the past Jarret Otto Gimbl actually ended up in the Pokey as of last year. He came back on the Radar after several years sans wife, daughter and fake service dog for starting a fire in an Apartment complex.
He was arrested then released pending trail.
Last May he was sentenced to 2 years. He is due for release in May 2025. He currently resides the Florida Prison system

Hack Stone posted a comment on his Facebook page about him not being wounded in Iraq but getting his face rearranged behind a White Castle during a drug transaction. Hack Stone received a lot of hate from the supporters of Jarrett and his dog “Gunny”, then Jarrett blocked him.
Speaking of losers, last time Hack checked up on Gunny Driveway, per his Linked In profile, he drives “medical paint” around South Jersey”. He must be employed by Sherwin Williams.

ADMINS – PHONY ALERT.
I see these VG articles from 2014 and 2022,
but there is a new double dose of phony going on in NJ news, with JARRETT OTTO GIMBL.
Deploying the Fu of Google,
I easily found 2 news stories (above),
BOTH from only 3 days ago.
There could be more.
Perhaps those NJ news sites need some awareness.

In the vast expanse of recovery and rehabilitation stories, few resonate as profoundly as the story of Jarrett Otto Gimbl, a 42-year-old veteran, and his dog, Gunny.
Jarrett Otto Gimbl’s journey from the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq back to civilian life embodies not just the struggles faced by many returning servicemen and women but also the unspoken bonds of healing and companionship provided by our four-legged friends.
Jarrett Otto Gimbl served with distinction in the Marines, but his service came at a cost. A blunt force trauma to the head while on active duty led to his honorable discharge in 2009. The physical wounds healed, but the mental scars of war lingered, manifesting as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Like many veterans, Jarrett Otto Gimbl found the transition to civilian life daunting. The structured days and comradeship of military life were replaced with the unpredictable and often lonely landscape of the world outside.
“I had days where the thought of stepping outside was paralyzing,” Jarrett Otto Gimbl shares. The disciplined regiment of the Marines was a stark contrast to the challenges he now faced in finding and maintaining employment, leading to periods of deep despair. “There were moments when I questioned if it was all worth it,” he admits.

PURPLE HEART QUESTION –
Are there any comprehensive lists of Purple Heart recipients?
Or just an assortment of verified and unverified partial lists?
IF I drop 1 last name here, a fairly rare last name,
not from an obituary,
but a living recent claim of Vietnam Veteran and 2 Purple Hearts…
Can anyone verify if this person earned 2, 1, or 0 Purple Hearts?
Thanks for your assistance.
The fairly rare last name is HUFFAKER.
As much info you can put together and submit to National Archives. Probably the most accurate, but on the slow side for answer. You could check with your county veterans service office…off the record. My wife’s grand father received a Purple Heart during WW1, battle at Ardennes. The name is engraved on the back of the metal.
