You have probably noticed that CDR-M hasn't been here for the past 2 weeks. He has requested to go on a paid unspecified length of time sabbatical leave. (He's always been Ace's favorite)

AoSHQ, The ONT and this Cob wish to thank CDR-M for his great ONT work over the past 7 years. Thanks again CDR-M! Your slot is open when you want to come back.

Quote of The Day

Parents are now encouraged to subject the child to procedures that I think are a form of child abuse, either with hormones to slow puberty, actual surgical manipulations, etcetera. I think this is wrong, that people should wait until an informed age of consent. Parents should not be doing this to their children.

Just who uttered this?

[ ] Ben Carson, MD
[ ] American College of Pediatricians
[ ] Mark Steyn
[ ] None of the above

Answer at the bottom.

Only 52 days until Halloween. It is never too early to think about the ultimate Halloween costume. It has Moron written all over it.

'Rons, are you stumped on a gift for your spousal unit/significant other? A cleaning service is a nice touch. However, The ONT recommends not using this service.

Fluff? Truth? Fiction? Rules that pirates lived by.

Speaking of pirates, this past Thursday (9/7/17) marked the 14th anniversary of Warren Zevon's passing. Yes, he was a Mutineer.

OK, Which one of you Morons is doing this?

Oddly, this is not the first time the small town has encountered wooden penises on the streets of Hagfors. Someone, or a group of people, have been leaving these carvings around the town for quite some time. They have been found in the nearby forest, and at local swimming pools.
Andersson said, “All the penises are very well made, and the people or person who makes them has been putting a lot of effort into it. Sometimes they’re lacquered, sometimes painted.”

So if they are happy, will the fish be more prone to bite? Great Lakes fish doped up on anti-depressants.

A new joint Thai-American study discovered high concentrations of the drugs in human antidepressants in 10 fish species living in the Niagara River that connects Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, the Niagara Gazette reports. These species include bass, walleye and several others native to the Great Lakes.

McGroarty's logical fallacies, fun list.

Ad Hominem:
This is the best logical fallacy, and if you disagree with me, well, you suck.

Appeal to False Authority:
Your logical fallacies aren’t logical fallacies at all because Einstein said so. Einstein also said that this one is better.

Appeal to Emotion:
See, my mom, she had to work three jobs on account of my dad leaving and refusing to support us, and me with my elephantitis and all, all our money went to doctor’s bills so I never was able to get proper schooling. So really, if you look deep down inside yourself, you’ll see that my fallacy here is the best.

The funny thing about her, is that she looks fairly sober. Genius Award Winner.
