Weekend Open Thread

| February 7, 2025

What had been uncovered with the USAID fiasco should anger most people, regardless of what side of the political isle they’re on. However, there are a group of people who are intoxicated on their animosity against President Donald Trump. These individuals manage to find negativity in everything that Trump does. While the left keeps getting angry, we will keep cheering and not get tired of all the winning. Enjoy your weekend!

Hack Stone

Drats! Foiled again. Hack was busy doing a phantom post to make that his cut & paste would stick, and KoB undermines the will of the people, again. At least toss Hack a bone and appoint him to a cabinet position, preferably the liquor cabinet.

KoB

Toss you a bone…Mr. Stone? Hmmm I will chunk the bones from the whole yard bird I deboned to make the chicken for the rice and chicken dish. Just don’t choke on the chicken bone while you are choking your chicken. As far as a cabinet position is concerned, you have yet to clean the Vanity Cabinet in The Ladies Room where you have stored all of your runner up trophies. Hop to it!

Hack Stone

You went all out on those runner up trophies. Not many people have the artistic skills to construct a trophy made of tampons, and you get bonus points for having it shellacked.

SFC D

They’re tampons from the men’s room. Inclusivity matters.

MCPO USN

The runner up trophy is hereby named the Tim Walz Memorial Trophy, sponsored by Tampax.

Fifteen (15) (sloppy) seconds difference, SgtM. A very good showing at any rate. Full disclosure…I have been doing the Hack Stone “flog the F5/Refresh key thru an entire episode of Gunsmoke and most of an episode of Rizzoli (that Angie Harmon is HAWT!!!) and Isles (i’d hit that one too) while a great big pot of chicken and rice percurlated lowly in the Crockett Pot. Give me a few minutes to bask in the Glory of EARNING (never awarded) FIRST in the TAH Weekend Open Thread and I’ll have some cornbread dressing and greens whipped up for all of my (dis)loyal subjects. Help yore selves to some refreshing beverages and home made cookies while you’re waiting.

Hack Stone

Oh, wise and all knowing Magic 8-Ball, any chance that Hack Stone be unburdened by successfully regaining the highly coveted and rarely awarded title of First Commenter for the This Ain’t Hell Weekend Open Thread, or will be another weekend of a pathetic second, third or fourth place title? Magic 8-Ball says…

PS. Hack Stone is having a terrible week. Wednesday my granddaughter called and said that she was in an accident. Now my son just called me to tell me that he was involved in an auto accident, broke his nose, and now is in the Fulton County Jail and needs $5000 cash bail. Hack Stone is going to need a competent attorney to fix this mess. Do any of you Adorable Deplorable Garbage have a good phone number for Daniel Bernath?

As to First Post, Magic 8-Ball says…

My Magic 8-Ball just told me; “Go Ask Your Mother”

Toxic Deplorable Racist SAH Neanderthal

Are you SURE you’re not being scammed with the “I’m yer g’son & I need money send it NAOW! via Western Onion.”

Hack Stone

Hack really wanted to get it going, having some guy hanging around the Western Union counter at the local Kroger’s waiting on the payday, only to realize that payment was remitted in gift cards from a proud but humble woman owned business that went bankrupt ten years ago. Not only does Psul of The Ballsack stiff his own mother on the money that he owes, but he left a lot of vendors holding the bag. Maybe Elaine Ricci ran off with the payroll and checked into the Bates Motel.

Hack Stone

Hack just got a call for Home Improvement. Had them on the phone for over ten minutes. You want my name? Sure. Last name is Mamma, first name is Joe. (Still on the line). My address? 1313 Mockingbird Lane, Mockingbird Heights. Some time between noon and 2:00 PM he will be showing up tomorrow for an estimate. Should be interesting if he shows up to a random home and asks to speak to Joe Mamma. He just might get his ass kicked all the way to New Delhi.

Toxic Deplorable Racist SAH Neanderthal

(a day late and a dollar short)
Well played, Mr Stone. That took some stones.
IIRC that was the address of the Munsters TV show.
It would be equally interesting to find out if Mr Home Improvement tried to go there, and what were the end results.

Commissioner Wretched

You know, these odd drops of the WOT are keeping me on my toes. Which, by the way, is a quite uncomfortable way to stand. I’m not a ballerina, you know. Anyway, with the King on the throne for what has to the fourth week in a row (last week’s kerfuffle notwithstanding), I salute him and you with trivial information designed to elicit a smile, a groan, or an “Oh!” Hope you all enjoy it!

DID YOU KNOW…?
Did two of television’s early stars dislike each other so much that they torpedoed their own proposed series?

And now it’s February.

In addition to the events you will normally find this month – Black History Month, Valentine’s Day, President’s Day, and whatever else might be in there somewhere – there is one day that means the entire world to me.

It’s the day pitchers and catchers report to spring training to begin the 2025 baseball season. Yes, we’re getting close to the start of the sport I love!

Of course, I also love trivia, so let me share some of that love with you right now.

Did you know …

… moderate drinking can boost your IQ? Japanese research shows that drinking alcoholic beverages in moderation has a beneficial effect on the IQ, or Intelligence Quotient, in most individuals. (And of course, if you take it to the extreme, you lower your IQ.)

Commissioner Wretched

… for a 20-year period, ten percent of U.S. electric power was generated – indirectly – by Russia? From 1993 to 2013, following the Cold War, the United States purchased five hundred tons of weapons-grade uranium from Russia. That uranium was converted into nuclear fuel, and was resold to commercial power plants. (Shocking, I tell you.)

… the average North Korean child is much shorter than the average South Korean child? A 7-year-old from the North is, on average, three inches shorter than his or her counterpart from the South. The primary reason is nutrition; North Koreans do not get as much nutritious food as their South Korean relatives.

… oranges are not a naturally occurring food? The sweet fruits best enjoyed cold are actually human-created hybrids of tangerines and pomelos, or “Chinese grapefruit.” Oranges were created and originally grown in southeastern Asia – and in the climate there, they were green. Their skin and fruit only turn orange in warmer climates. Additional trivia note: the color orange is named after the fruit, not the other way around. (Orange you glad you read that one?)

… Fort Knox once held more than just gold reserves? During the period of the Cold War, from 1945 to 1991, a vast cache of morphine was also kept at the facility. The idea was, should a nuclear holocaust happen, the government wanted to make sure there was enough pain medication in a stockpile to take care of the people. (Determining which people would be taken care of, I leave up to you.)

… the term “gmail” has not always meant Google’s e-mail service? Prior to the launch of the e-mail service by Google, “gmail” was the name of a free e-mail service offered by the website of Garfield, the comic strip cat. (One lasagna to go, please.)

Graybeard

Mrs. GB inquires as to the approximate date of the development of the orange (fruit).

Commissioner Wretched

Oranges were created through selective breeding between the two plants I mentioned, the tangerine (or mandarin) and the pomelo. It’s not known exactly when, but it does rate in the thousands of years ago, and the first recorded (written) description is from China in about 315 BC.

Graybeard

Thank you! Mrs. GB’s curiosity is sated, for now.

RGR 4-78

Orange you glad he knew the answer.

KoB

Yeah, but do you think his Clock works?

timactual

“Oranges were created and originally grown in southeastern Asia – and in the climate there, they were green. Their skin and fruit only turn orange in warmer climates”

Are you trying to tell me (and a million or two other veterans) that the climate in southeast Asia is not warm?

Commissioner Wretched

I should have been more specific. Oranges were developed in southeastern China, which is not quite as warm and humid as the lands farther south.

… two stars of early television disliked each other so much they torpedoed their own proposed series? From 1951 to 1957, I Love Lucy featured William Frawley (1887-1966) and Vivian Vance (1909-1979) as the couple Fred and Ethel Mertz. Though the two gave wonderful performances, they had a serious dislike for each other, with Vance resenting having to play the frumpy wife of a man 22 years older than she was. Frawley himself made numerous disparaging comments about Vance as well, and when the couple were offered a spinoff series from show creator Lucille Ball (1911-1989), they both declined. Additional trivia note: when Frawley died of a heart attack in 1966, Vance was having dinner with her husband at a restaurant. As they got the word, Vance is alleged to have shouted, “Champagne for everybody!” (Lucy was who everybody loved, anyway.)

… ladies of the evening in ancient Greece had a rather unique way of advertising their, um, services? The ladies would wear sandals with the words “follow me” imprinted in them, and their footprints would be an advertisement of what it was that they did. (Thanks to Mason for the tip!)

… a classic magic word had another reason for being coined? “Abracadabra,” the supposedly magic word used by illusionists in performing a trick, was originally coined in the second century AD. It was noted in a book called Liber Medicinalis by Serenus Sammonicus (?-212 AD), physician to the Roman Emperor Caracalla (188 AD-217 AD), as being prescribed for sufferers of malaria to have the word engraved on an amulet in the shape of a triangle. Sammonicus thought the amulet would have the power to make lethal diseases go away – as if by magic. (If it didn’t, the emperor had a way to make the physician go away, as if by magic.)

Commissioner Wretched

… an actress won a role on a hit television show by not being honest about her age? When producers of That ‘70s Show were casting the role of Jackie, actress Mila Kunis (born 1983) auditioned. The producers were looking for an 18-year-old, but Kunis at the time of her audition was only 14. Kunis told the producers she “would be 18,” but did not say when – and she got the part. The producers did eventually find out her correct age, but they let her keep the role, as she was (in their words) the “perfect fit” for it. (Hey, whatever works, right?)

… the city of Duluth, Minnesota, has made it illegal for animals to sleep in a bakery? (Where do they get fresh milk, then?)

… dinosaurs lived on all continents, including Antarctica? There’s one little caveat, though – when the dinosaurs were active, most of the land mass of Earth was contained in a single continent called Pangaea. The land mass divided into the now-familiar seven continents over the hundreds of millions of years since the dinosaurs died off. (We call that single continent Pangaea. There’s no record of what the dinosaurs called it.)

Now … you know!

KoB

Thanks, CW. I had to work for the FIRST today. It was NOT being in the right place at the right time, it was NOT by The Grace of God, it was NOT pure luck. It WAS the constant flailing away @ the Refresh Key, being as I had nothing better to do. Anything worth having is worth working for and there is no greater reward than scoring a FIRST (EARNED NEVER AWARDED) on the TAH Friday Weekend Open Thread. Kinda makes up for all of the years that I could only lurk here without being able to comment…and not seeing the WOT until several days after it dropped most of the time.

I’ll bet you’re getting a “Chubby” thinking about seeing your “Cubbies” suit up and take the field. Probably almost as big a chubby I get thinking about the release of Book III (3) of a certain Science Fiction Tome.

Whatcha getting The Lovely Lois for Valentine’s Day? It better not be a Catcher’s Mitt…or a bag of resin so she can get a better grip on your bat. Get her a shot of two of some good spirits…to put her in “Good Spirit”.

KoB

Odd that we bought uranium from Russia (much ballyhooed back then) then Bitchlery later SOLD the Russians a bunch of uranium. Hmmmm

Working them Nork children like rented mules probably doesn’t help their growth much either. And their diet is mostly propaganda.

Wonder if there’s anything inside the vaults @ Ft Knox now other than dust? There may and/or may not have been multiple Soviet MIRVs targeted on that place back in the day. I can neither confirm nor deny any knowledge of that. Call my lawer…I admit nothing.

I’ll take a double order of cheesy garlic bread to go with the lasagna, if you please. Thank ya…Thank ya veeery much!

KoB

Vance and Frawley may not have been chummy, but they were very professional to one another on the set. And neither were the FIRST (snickers) choice for those parts. Vance made a whole lot more money after “Lucy” doing commercials and stage work. And, yes indeed, EVERYBODY loved Lucille Ball. They dressed/toned her down for the TeeVee show, but if one Google Foos her earlier pictures she was drop.dead.gorgeous! Dezi was a jerk to her, both professionally, in the marriage, and in the business dealings.

Is that where “Iron Mike” got his “Follow Me” from? Or was it the threat of having his boot up the ass of the ones that didn’t follow?

Medical Charlatans been around a long time, haven’t they. Separated the early Greeks from their money like…magic.

Commissioner Wretched

You’re right about Vance and Frawley not being Lucy’s first choices for the roles. She wanted Gale Gordon and Bea Benadaret, but they were both committed to other shows (Our Miss Brooks and The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show, respectively). Vance and Frawley were second choices but turned out great professional performances, especially for two people who couldn’t stand to be in the same room together.

KoB

Never watched that show back then and only a few bits and pieces in reruns when channel surfing. But, then again, I’ve watched at more TeeVee over the last few years than I have in my entire life. Forced retirement and having wobbly days will do that to you. Didn’t even know who the girl was until I was in The Chancre Mechanic’s office a few years back and saw an article in a magazine. At FIRST 😀 glance of the pics I thought, “Hmm she’s kinda hot”…until I read the article. Typical Hollyweird Lib brat that’s kinda whorish. I like my Lady Friends to be a Classic Beauty, with charm, class, well dressed, well mannered, and style. Not into ink or walking hardware stores.

Not a fan of Minnie Soda either (apologies to any and all of our TAH Family that are stuck there), but I can understand and appreciate not having livestock in the kitchen. Unless, of course, the livestock is being prepared as an entree’.

Brontosarus burger anyone? T-Rex T-Bone? Fred Flintstone…grins!

Since Commissioner Wretched failed to acknowledge an event that occurred on this date in 1974 and has had a tremendous impact among the rustlers, cut throats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswogglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass-kickers, shit-kickers and Methodists that frequent this den of miscreants, please indulge Hack Stone as he acknowledges the 51st anniversary on the release of Blazing Saddles, probably the greatest comedy ever, and more importantly, the first R Rated film that Hack Stone watched in a theater.

Was it a shitload of nickels or a shitload of dimes? Hack will have the answer shortly, as the Blazing ng Saddles DVD is about to get fired up.

Hack Stone

KoB must have sneaked into Stately Stone Manor and swiped his Blazing Saddles, because Hack cannot locate it at the moment.

For the record, it was a shitload of dimes.

KoB

Sneaked in?!? SNEAKED IN!!! It ain’t sneaking in, Mr. Stone, when one has a key. “sides…why would I want to steal your DVD when I have that on VHS and Beta. And I’ll betcha betcha if I looked real hard I could find it on Commercial Grade U-Matic…broadcast quality. May even be a copy on Open Reel, Projector in 70 mm. Plus…btw…your’s isn’t even Blu Ray, Director’s Cut Edition with the twenty one (21) seconds that was edited back in after the release. Like watching a whole ‘nother Motion Picture. Finally answers the question if the Sheriff was really “Hung”.

Hack Stone

Hack’s Blazing Saddles DVD includes the “Pilot” episode of Black Bart, starring Lou Gossett Jr. as Bart and Steve Landesberg as a character similar to Gene Wilder played in the film. The studio produced multiple episodes with the intention of it never airing as a loophole to retain creative control of the franchise and preventing it from going back to Mel Brooks. And yes, that one episode sucked as bad as the television adaptation of Animal House.

Commissioner Wretched

Correct, Hack! The entire Black Bart TV idea was a ploy by Warner Brothers to keep the franchise. I have the pilot of the series on my DVD of Blazing Saddles as well, and it’s pretty damn bad. It lacked all of the appeal of the movie, because what they said and did in the movie you can’t say and do on television.

What with all of the crying and protesting about GS types losing their Gov’t jobs; why haven’t we seen the same reaction when the military pays people to get out. Does anyone else remember the Defense Officer Personnel Management Act (I think they called it)? To put it simply, when Viet Nam was over a reduction in force (RIF) was established; officers who had spent too long in rank and were not promoted were given choices: take the money they were offered and go home; take the money and enlist as a E-4 or E-6 (depending upon what qualifications they had) and pay it back when they retired; or, don’t take the money and enlist anyway. This lead to the “up or out” system or, what the USAF called for us enlistees, the E-this is good for x years (TOPCAP) and one had to retire upon reaching the high year of tenure. Some that enlisted were fully successful, I worked with two RIF’d officers who enlisted that made E-7. They did their jobs well and were well respected by their troops. I knew of one who made E-9. Some were worthless. I worked with one who treated her fellow E-4’s as worth less than what she scraped off of shoes. One day a USAF Captain chewed me like a basset hound chews a pig’s ear. The first day of the next month I ran into him; he had enlisted as a Sgt since he got passed over for Major three times. I was a TSgt at the time and I remember the look of fear in his eyes as I greeted him with a smiling “Hi-ya buddy” and walk away just shaking my head. Fast forward to when Desert Storm changed into Southern and Northern Watch. There were several different programs to get enlistees to get out. The Group Commander tried to coerce several of what he called “dead weight” to take advantage of the program. Several did; and when they got their get out dates, the Wing Commander said he needed them to stay for a few more months.… Read more »

…these folks didn’t work for me; however, their bosses told them to see me. I asked each one what their home of record was, when they told me I pulled out the Congressional something or other book I got somewhere. Armed with this book, I told each one who their Representative in Congress was and the Rep’s mail address address. I bid each good luck and submitting their complaint to Congress and to have a nice day. Each one got discharged on time.

Dennis - not chevy

Telling a bunch of E-5’s and E-6’s to write their Representatives in Congress, supplying the addresses, and defying the Wing Commander who wanted them to stay was reason# 529 that I never made E-8.

That’s a brilliant meme. It’s inaccurate though, because the Trump picture actually looks like Trump.

Present & non-accountable.

Passed my 73rd rotation ’round ol’ Sol this past week. Spent the day (and the next) rebuilding the desktop computers. Glad to say all data has been restored (about 15 years worth), programs operable, etc.

Mrs. GB & I went out to eat for the b-day celebration. On a whim (and ’cause I don’t get it but every few years) decided on a steakhouse. Picked a Texas Roadhouse.
Regretfully.
Crowded. Noisy. Wasn’t sure who was supposed to take our order. The steak was tolerable, but not much to brag about. The corn was from a can. The green beans were flavored well, though.
Mrs. GB’s chicken was good (who messes up fried chicken?), salad was ok.
The noise was such we couldn’t talk much. Music up too loud, and it was this hip-hop-country crap, not real county music.
Later, talking to Navy brother, I learned that Texas Roadhouse is HQ’d in Indiana.
Which explains a hail of a lot about the rest of it. Blasted wannabe’s, all hat & no cattle, pissin’ on our boots and tellin’ us it’s raining.

Oh well, my grandkids are still great, kids all love each other, and all the rest can go lay by the roadside with it’s feet in the air.

Brag on 12-y-o grandson: he’s set to try, and probably succeed, in making it to state in the math competitions for his age group.
When he got ‘bored’ in his ‘advanced math’ class, he came and borrowed my college trig and algebra books. Got in trouble reading them in class instead of paying attention to the math teacher.

Y’all have a great weekend. I’m enjoying watching God use President Trump and Vice President Pence shatter the bow of the wicked. Hallelujah Amen!

Odie

That’s the kind of “trouble” you don’t mind hearing about your kids or grandkids. The teacher was probably hoping they wouldn’t get asked how do you solve this math problem, and nipped it in the bud. Problem solved.

I’m sure the leftists and rino republicans would love to bring more lawsuits to stop all he is doing, but discovery is already getting out. In my opinion, they are trying to figure out how to get the genie back in the bottle, or the magic smoke back into the wiring. Most likely, trying to figure out how to spin the bad news without having to admit culpability in an open court.

SgtM

Vance.

Graybeard

Mea culpa. Thanks SgtM

E.conboy

Happy birthday GB! 🎂 We were also disappointed with Texas Roadhouse: indifferent service, live insect in my salad, cold food warm, hot food barely warm, no additional seasoning for the undersized steaks, plus the bussing of dishes from the tables was unnecessarily noisy. Servers chomping gum are definitely appetite suppressants, for sure. Other customers nearby agreed. We ate quickly and left. We won’t go back.
Congratulations to your grandchildren! Looks like the future will be in good hands.
Best regards to you and Mrs GB.

Graybeard

Thank you.
I was surprised at the number of people who have had less-than-desirable experiences at the Indiana Texas Roadhouse.
But still people go – no account’ng for taste.

We are very, very blessed in our grandchildren. Thank God – He is providing for a great future.

The DOGE is busy cleaning out government waste. The government is actually working for the people. USAID is a money laundering haven for terrorists, grifters, groomers, and perverts. The Dems are having grand mal seizures over the exposure.
They are in total meltdown because we don’t want American tax dollars to be wasted on bizarre projects in foreign countries.
As the saying goes: “Follow the money”.

The explosions you’re hearing is Demonrat heads popping…

I believe some judge recently told the DOGE group to destroy any files concerning the treasury they may have copied. Isn’t it against the law to destroy govt records? Doesn’t the treasury fall under the executive branch? Some are worried about a group of whiz kids having access to the government financials, but have no problem with 80k new IRS agents having access to ours.

They don’t really like that logic tossed back at them.

Hack Stone

Hack Stone is currently sitting in the waiting room at Walter Reed while his lovely bride Rosetta Stone is being seen by the doctor, and he noticed these signs throughout the hospital. Hack is well aware that the military likes to assemble the troops for inconsequential events, but having a dinner for a medicine ball?

I had medicine balls once.
Doc said it was from riding motocross without a cup.

Kinda like getting invited to see @The Nutcracker” and seeing the look on their faces when I tell them no thanks, I did that on the high dive last summer!

I note that in addition to military attire, formal civilian dress is
also welcome.
Wish I could attend….
