Weekend Open Thread

| October 18, 2024

Kamala Harris showed up to do an interview on Fox News with Bret Baier. Word has it that she showed up late. When things continued to go bad for Harris, members of her staff reportedly signaled to Baier to terminate the interview. Although it was less time than what was anticipated, the actual interview provided plenty of meme materials for conservatives. Enjoy your weekend!

Hack Stone

Oh, wise and all knowing Magic 8-Ball, will Hack Stone be unburdened by what has been in order to retain the highly coveted and rarely awarded title of First Commenter for the This Ain’t Hell Weekend Open Thread, or will he ousted in a vast chicken conspiracy and exiled to the River Road exit of the Capital Beltway, eking out a pitiful existence selling outdated Red Hat Software to commuters? Magic 8-Ball says…

Hack Stone

He shouts, he scores!

Hack Stone

Shoots, shouts, boots, bouts. Once again, Hack Stone is burdened with ruling over the great unwashed.

Odie

When will you be unburdened by what has been?

Hack Stone

Hack Stone is currently burdened by having Psul and Karen move into Stately Stone Manor until Psul can get back on his feet. He’s only been here two hours, and the house already reeks of failure. Not only that, but he ripped off the door to Hack’s mailbox, so the tow truck dragging the Jaguar from his former residence knows where to drop it.

Odie

Its good to have a landmark for a reference. Ask any 2LT, they will tell you the same 😏

CWORet

Two hours and they didn’t Clin-tone-icide? Huh. Sorry about the mailbox door though. But lucky the tow truck driver didn’t rip the whole thing down with the side of ol’ Psul’s (of the Ballsack) right Jaguar side turning into the driveway. Watch out for squatters rights if you let them hang out too long. We did have a lawer on here a while back who could have helped you a bit. At least with a faulty gas-gauge and equally faulty altimeter. Psul (of the Ballsack) could probably use that altimeter tho. I’m sure it would buff right out. Congrats on the WOT win Hack! Been working on that somewhat magical 8-ball a bit lately?

Hack Stone

Hack found two different cases in Montgomery County where Psul and Karen were ordered to pay back rent.

File Date: 10/04/2024 Document Name: Order – Motion/Request/Petition Granted Comment: That within five (5)days from the date of this Order, Defendants’ must pay into the Court Registry $31,250.00 rent from April 2024 through August 2024, must continue to pay rent of $6,250.00 each month after August 2024, by the 10th of each month, until the date of the jury trial.

File Date: 10/04/2024 Document Name: Order – Motion/Request/Petition Granted Comment: Within ten (10) days from the date of this Order. Defendants’ must pay into the Court’s Registry the amount of $18,750.00 which is rent from June 2024 through August 2024.

Ten years ago, who didn’t see this coming? Hack remembers posting a comment around the time that All Points Logistics decided that he should pursue other career options; “Congratulations, Psul, you just got fired from the last job you will ever have.”

And don’t forget, Bank of America is suing him too.

A Proud Infidel®™

Does he have any legacy other than being a deadbeat and useful idiot of Phil Monkress?

Hack Stone

Every weekend, Phil Monkress combs through the personnel files of All Points Logistics looking for the next sucker he can con into doing his dirty work, then can toss away like a used tissue when the heat starts going up. If you look back on all of the threads regarding Psul dealing with his extensive involvement with the court system, whether DUI’s, assaults, restraining orders, and bankruptcies, most people would ask how this guy was even hired by a company that survives on government contracts. And not only did they keep him on the payroll, he held a senior executive position. Has any federal agency ever audited All Points Logistics as to their security screening of employees? What other misfits did/does All Points Logistics have on their payroll, besides Phil Monkress?

KoB

Magic 8-Ball says…Hack Stone’s F5 Key is as smoking hot as OAM is…from being being flailed away on for the last three (3) hours. I FIRST (ht2 HS) thought the burning smell was from the Burn Ban being lifted when, in fact, is was Hack’s F5 Key. Now we know why The Red Hat Software is so over priced. When a company is paying it’s Vice President of Media Relations good money to sit around and pound an F5 Key for hours at a time…well…you know. But I guess it’s better to do that instead of peddling himself on the off ramp…@ two (2) bits a shot. No wonder Hack never throws any snacky stuff or Top Shelf Beverages out for his (dis)loyal subjects. I will serve our (in)glorious “leader” a Kong Rat for his FIRSTNESS.

I, for one, will be glad to be unburdened from all of the lying TeeVee commercials that Kum-Hella has been running non stop. How many do you think realize that her little saying was FIRST (ht2 HS) uttered by her hero and role model, Karl Marx (he himself also being a favorite pen pal of Ol’ Abe)?

It’s just going to get worse…Prepare

Hack Stone

Currently sitting on the bench is a wide variety of beers for the weekend, to include about half a case of various German brews purchased from Costco in an Octoberfest variety pack, about half a case of Asahi, 13 Big Boy bottles of Orion purchased at the Henderson Hall package store ($4.49 a bottle), and of course, Americas favorite beer, Pabst Blue Ribbon. Going with the PBR for the tacos, they complement each other.

KoB

Well, that’s a good start, Mr. Stone. I’ll add these to the mix…just for you

Cong Rats Hack. Was on the recliner doing crossword puzzles as usual.

Hack Stone

Do you ever do the Washington Post Sunday Crossword Puzzle? Hack Stone gave up on the paper almost a decade ago, and now just goes online to print a copy of the Sunday Puzzle. Usually 30 to 45 minutes without the assistance of Al Gore’s Amazing Internet.

This is the article where Hack Stone said “I’m done with this rag.”

jeff LPH 3 63-66

I do the Pennypress crosswords. I keep away from the easy books and try to get the familly edition with not that easy crosswords. I run a single edge razor blade along the spine and cut out the pages and put them on a clipboard which is easier than holding the pages over while doing the puzzle.

E. Conboy

Good idea, I do same with my cookbooks, saves time and space! My niece isn’t speaking to me since I mentioned that. (Should have done it sooner!.)She presumes she is designated PoA but “surprise, surprise, surprise”, she will be unburdened, mainly because she’s a raving liberal, non believer, and worst of all, has a PhD in social wurk!! (She was never the same after ucla!) undergrad of Roll Tide. 👀

Who is that guy kidding. The Ghostbusters reboot sucked. 4 talented, funny women made a really bad movie. It happens. It’s not sexism, not misogyny, just a shit movie.

Odie

Have you ever typed out a paragraph or 2 like above, only to have someone else sneak in and claim first while you were busy typing ?

Hack Stone

Cut & paste, baby. Cut & paste. If you notice, the text of Hack Stone’s often futile attempts to capture the highly coveted and rarely awarded title of First Commenter is similar from week to week, with slight variations to acknowledge current political events, which unburdens Hack from whatever will be will be. Que sera, sera, baby.

Lurker Curt

Lurking and botched it… Congrats Hack

Lurker Curt

Whatever, 2nd is the best I’ve done in years!

Nope, not quite yet “year(s)”(plural). /S/ You are listed in the Coveted Book of Firsts as being the first loser on 24 Feb 2023 and again as second loser on 10 Feb 2023.

When I first got on the site, the WOT came on and I made my comment not knowing the FIRST rule was to text FIRST to be FIRST for the WOT and make it through the gauntlet of replys….

Dang, no matter how closely I watch for the WOT drop, I miss it. Congrats to Hack Stone for his FIRSTness once again! I’ll take third, though a bronze medal isn’t as valuable as the WOT throne.

Hack Stone

Hack got lucky. Real lucky. Just wrapped up an online meeting, hit refresh, and there it was. Started sweating that by the time the page loaded and Hack pasted his decree, the ship would have sailed out of the train station.

jeff LPH 3 63-66

I think that it is time that I invest in a Magic 8 Ball. I had one back in the 1950’s..along with a chemistry set, erector set, lincoln log set, slinky, klik klak, spaulding pinky ball, lionel train set, set of drums to play Topsy Part Two, transister radio to hide under the pillow with an earplug, Model plastic Mil Airplanes, Balsa model airplanes that you tacked the parts on the diagram then tester glued the parts together, AM/FM/SW radio to listen to Allen Freed Rock And Roll, baseball and Davey Crocket cards to card flip and a pocket knife to play mumbly peg on the grass.

Claw

Geez, you must have been a rich kid to have all those things as toys. /s/

Wanna know what I had as a toy in the fifties/sixties?

A twelve-inch piece of dried cow flop that was used as a Frisbee.

Dennis - not chevy

When I was in elementary school, I tried the transistor radio with the ear plug to listen to the World Series. My thinking was the teacher would think it was a hearing aid. Note to self: wait until there’s a substitute teacher to try that.

Graybeard

Had most of that myownself.
Had to share with 3 brothers though

Commissioner Wretched

So … Hack Stone takes the throne (poetry) and it’s time for me to leave in my wake some trivia. I do hope you all enjoy it!

DID YOU KNOW…?
Did the first human space walk almost end in disaster?
By Commissioner Wretched
didyouknowcolumn@gmail.com
Copyright © 2024

Now that the first eight years of the column are behind us, it’s time to look ahead.

Oh, I’m not looking ahead for another eight years … that’s too far. I’m thinking more like the end of this month. Halloween, to be precise. And as usual, I’m on the lookout for funny and unique costumes, not that I plan to go trick-or-treating or anything like that.

So if you have a funny costume idea, send it to me at didyouknowcolumn@gmail.com and I will mention it here. Who knows? We just might come up with a new trendsetter.

Meanwhile, let’s set trends with trivia! Here’s this week’s installment. Enjoy!

Did you know …

… irony finds its way into the world of art? In 1996, Richard Versalle (1932-1996), a tenor with the New York Metropolitan Opera, was performing in the production of The Makropulos Case in the role of Vitek, a law clerk. He was about halfway up a 20-foot tall ladder, and right after singing the line, “You can only live so long,” suffered a massive heart attack and fell ten feet to the stage. He was pronounced dead on arrival at a nearby hospital. (Well, he was right, wasn’t he?)

… a cheese features live maggots? Casu marzu is a popular cheese made in Sardinia that contains live maggots. The cheese cannot be legally imported into the United States because of the little critters. Those maggots, by the way, can jump up to five inches when they’re exposed, so the people who enjoy the cheese usually shield their eyes when they eat it. (Eat it? They actually eat that stuff?)

Commissioner Wretched

… more than half of the workers in the U.S. don’t use all of their paid vacation time? If that seems troublesome, consider this – about 30% don’t use any of it. (Gee, when was the last time I took a vacation?)

… chimpanzees can build a new nest in just ten minutes? (They don’t necessarily like to, but they can.)

… the first time a human “walked” in space almost ended in disaster? On March 18, 1965, Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov (1934-2019), aboard the Voskhod 2 space capsule, deployed an inflatable airlock, opened the hatch, depressurized the airlock, and floated out into the void of space, connected to his craft only by a 17-foot tether line. Inside, co-pilot, Pavel Belyayev (1925-1970) kept his eye on the instruments and secretly envied his comrade. After a twelve-minute space walk, during which Leonov attached a camera to the airlock so he could be photographed while outside the ship, it was time to come back in – but there was a problem, a very serious one. Leonov’s space suit had ballooned out so much he could not fit back into the airlock. After considering the problem and consulting Belyayev, Leonov depressurized his suit below safety limits, but managed to squeeze back inside. Then it turned out that the hatch did not want to seal, due to thermal distortions caused by Leonov’s efforts to get back inside. Once the hatch was secured and the airlock jettisoned, the two men had difficulty getting back into their seats with their space suits on. At last, however, Voskhod 2 re-entered the atmosphere – 46 seconds late – and landed 240 miles off target. Additional trivia note: The craft landed in a forest near the town of Solikamsk, and the two men were forced to spend the night inside their capsule before recovery teams could get to them. The hatch had been blown open and the temperature dropped to 23º, and the craft’s electrical system failed so the men didn’t have heat. When recovery crews did arrive, they had to chop wood to build a fire and everyone spent a second night in the forest before skiing to a waiting helicopter. (One small step for a man …)

Commissioner Wretched

… what the heaviest professional wrestling match with only two wrestlers was? On February 23, 1959, the two largest men in professional wrestling at that time – “Haystacks” Calhoun (1934-1989), who weighed in at 640 pounds, and “Happy” Humphrey (1926-1989), who tipped the scales at 760 pounds – met in a match in New York’s Madison Square Garden. The two wrestlers’ combined weight of 1,500 pounds set the record for the most weight in a professional two-man match – a record that stands to this day. (The ring, however, didn’t stand very long.)

… penguins do not get frostbite? Even though their feet are in almost constant contact with ice, they also have a special circulation system that keeps them warm in freezing temperatures. (Cold feet, warm heart, they say.)

… hearing loss is responsible for two well-known sports practices? The football huddle was created at Galludet University, when quarterback Paul Hubbard (1871-1946) – who, like all the other players on the team, was deaf – signaled his teammates to gather around him so he could sign the play to them without the other team reading the signs. And the hand signals used by umpires in baseball were also created to aid a deaf player on the field. William Ellsworth “Dummy” Hoy (1862-1961), a deaf outfielder who played for Cincinnati and other teams between 1888 and 1902, could not hear the call of balls and strikes when he was at bat. The umpires developed the hand signs now used so he would know what the pitch had been.

Odie

Maybe they should have invested in glasses for the umps as well. Or developed a braille system to help them out.

Commissioner Wretched

… ducks only lay eggs in the morning? (They manage to duck the issue the rest of the day.)

… Grand Central Station in New York City is toxic? It was constructed primarily of granite, and that rock holds more radioactive elements than others. So much granite was used in the construction of Grand Central Station in Manhattan that every person who goes through it gets a dose of radiation that is higher than they would get at a nuclear power plant. (If you’ve ever been there, you know what I mean by toxic.)

Now … you know!

So there I was, the MSgt and I (back when I was a SSgt) were walking somewhere when we started to get wet. I remarked how great it was (sarc) that with everything happening that day, it had to rain. He said he had just come from a weather briefing given by some big shot meteorologist from the numbered AF HQ who said it wasn’t going to rain today. He added that if HQ said it wasn’t going to rain, it wasn’t going to rain, how dare I question HQ?!! He chewed me some more for laughing, I thought he was joining the sarcasm; no, he was serious. The ate-up was strong with that guy.

The landline rings, Hack answers it on speaker phone, as he is busy trying to sell some outdated and overpriced Red Hat Software. Female on the other end says something about Howard Greene. Hack says “What?” Female says someth about Howard Greene again. Hack says There is no Howard Greene here, who do you want?” She replies “Sour cream! Sour cream! Do we need sour cream?” It was Rosetta calling from the grocery store, since it is Friday Taco Night at Stately Stone Manor. No, we do not need sour cream, but Hack needs to make some guacamole.

Speaking of which, if Hack has not already shared this, you need to make this recipe the next time you have a hankering for beef fajitas.

In Maine we have “ranked choice” voting so one has to be
careful to vote for your first choice all the way across the
ballot which is very confusing.
Got a mailing from the Maine Republican Party the other day
explaining how to vote for Trump by filling out all the boxes
on your first choice thus leaving the ballot unable to be
fucked with by anyone.
Ranked choice is the door to fraud and the commies know it.

For some reason, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz think that Hack Stone’s name is Kate. They keep sending him emails addressed to Kate. Yesterday Tim Walz asked Kate for a hand. Hack/Kate responded with “I can’t give you a hand, but I can give you a finger.”

And again I’m going to say it’s extremely unlikely he got a DD for a PI while on shore leave. There wouldn’t be anyone in the Navy if that were true.

Hack Stone

Hack Stone does not have the utmost confidence that those military veterans who are supporting Candidate Monroe have seen a genuine DD-214 of his service. Maybe Monroe can give a plausible explanation as to why his time on active duty was not a standard enlistment that the Navy had at the time.

MarineDad61

Hack Stone,
He posted his own DD-214 publicly today.
His 3 excuses for getting discharged, including being offered an Honorary Discharge to leave (reduction in force (RIF)),
his mother had cancer, and “minor injury”,
don’t exactly line up with the DD-214 details of his disability discharge and severance pay.

As for authenticity, and his verbal explanations.
YOU (ALL) be the judge.

YOU be the judge.

Event held Saturday morning 10/19 in Warminster, Bucks County, PA.
4:40 – Speech begins
8:25 – Discharge explanations
10:00 – DD-214 flash, to applause

NOTES
— The GOP opponent’s campaign, posts, and videos
NEVER accused, said, or suggested that this sitting (elected in 2022) Dem PA State Rep, running for re-election, had a “Dishonorable Discharge”, but did question and suggest that he may not have had an Honorable Discharge, due to simultaneous criminal charges in Virginia Beach, VA during the last year of his 2 years 5 months in the US Navy.
This Dem PA State Rep MADE UP this false accusation, and got his event speaker buddies to repeat it (almost verbatim) here at this event.
Other speakers included

  • Former Army Under Secretary and Former Congressman Patrick Murphy
  • PA Rep. Joe Webster, Chairman of Military and Veterans Facilities Subcommittee, PA House
  • 2 local VFW Post members, including Post Commander

— The DD-214 was held up, to applause. After this video, attendees were permitted to view the DD-214 at a table, and write notes about what they see, but were NOT allowed to take photos of the DD-214, and NOT allowed to have a copy to take out of the Senior Center, where this event was held.

— The PA Rep, and his multiple speakers,
also repeated (almost verbatim) a similar theme,
that an attack on the PA Rep is an attack on ALL veterans.
Ugh.

— The PA Rep claimed he gave his DD-214 to media outlets,
and he will also post it PUBLICLY.
We shall see if this is true.
IF you can find his DD-214 posted publicly, let us know.

Believe it or not, it’s a 50/50 too close to call local election,
that could tip the Pennsylvania State Assembly,
currently D 102 / R 101.

YOU be the judge.

Ok, this is a funny coincidence. This guy was a young (high school) volunteer firefighter for a department I worked at, when I worked there back in the 90’s.. I tried to find a picture of him from back then, so I could remember him, but no dice. As it is, I recall the name, but that’s about it.

Yep.. He was a weasily little bastard.. usually referred to a a blister.. you know, something that shows up after the work is done.. Always had something to say, or a better idea, despite the fact that he was talking to much more knowledgeable people.. Berwyn is a very affluent area of Philadelphia “Upper Main Line” and a lot of those kids were spoiled brats ( there were a few really top shelf ones, he just wasn’t one of them)

More ups and downs than the Pima County Sheriff’s race. Gonna go through a boatload of popcorn with that one.

Yeah, the shit slingin’ is getting pretty intense on that one.

That sheriff up there is dirty as hell
Arrested his opponent on BS charges

40s at night, 80s in the day at the GB Compound.

Not that I’ve been able to get out and enjoy it much.

It’s getting down to the low 40’s overnight in Bethesda. May be a bit chilly for those Vice Presidents of proud but humble women owned businesses who suddenly find themselves housing challenged, just because they haven’t paid their rent in six months. It must be pretty lonesome lining for a place to call home.

Hack Stone is shocked and dismayed that anyone would believe that agencies in the Biden-Harris Administration would fudge the numbers in order to make things appear better than they actually are. The next thing you know, the Department of Labor will quietly come back a week after releasing their job numbers and revise them down.

Hack and Rosetta Stone are currently getting their annual eye scraping, and the salesclerk mentioned that Hack’s eyeglass prescription is the same, probably because Hack has been eating his carrots. Hack told her that carrots and vision improvement were part of a disinformation campaign by the British in WWWII to disguise the success of a new invention known as Radio Detection and Ranging, or what we now call Radar.

If Walter O’Reilly served in the Navy instead of the Army, they would have called him Sonar O’Reilly.

And did you know that the Gary Burghoff Fan Club is commonly referred to as Radar Love? The more you know.

That eye doctor is certainly pleasing on the eyes. Hack wants to get a pair of prescription X-Ray Specs to see what she has under the wrapping.

Does the carpet match the drapes? Shag, indoor/outdoor, area/strip rug, or linoleum? Don’t matter, either way…I’d install some hardwood!

I’ll see my way out now.

It’s “unprofessional and insensitive” and so racially charged to use the language of the streets.

He’s the wrong color to use such language

Comment #100 – Had some snow at Stately Claw Manor last night. Overnight low bottomed out at 22 degrees.

Skippy

We finally made it below 90 degrees (about 15 degrees above normal) here at casa skippy
Last night was 52 our coolest temp since April
We definitely miss the 4 seasons here

I decided a year or so ago that I was going to use President Trump’s running for re-election as a vehicle to earn more cash.
Boy did I call that one right !!!
Not going to brag, but, I believe that President Trump would be proud of me selling Trump Merch to make some good coin !!!
