Saturday Overnight Open Thread (10/6/18 )

The Saturday Night Joke

A driver was stuck in a traffic jam on the highway outside Washington DC. Nothing was moving.

Suddenly, a man knocks on the window. The driver rolls down the window and asks, "What's going on?"

"Terrorists have kidnapped the entire US Congress, and they're asking for 100 million dollar ransom. Otherwise, they are going to douse them all in gasoline and set them on fire.

"We're going from car to car, collecting donations"

The driver asks "How much is everyone giving?"

The man replies, "Roughly a gallon"

Even Lindsey Graham has a spine. Schadenboner time.

Meet an amazing survivor. He must have a gold plated horseshoe stuck up his ass.

Up the mountain, Alexander Novoseltsev was jogging around his crashed helicopter - and doing push-ups.

Unable to find his emergency food rations, he ate snow. In the end this saved him.

He had sent a text message soon after crashing in a Robinson helicopter in poor weather in a gorge in the Chersky ridge area.

It read: ‘My clothes is thin, I'm freezing. The gorge is narrow. It will be hard to land MI-8 here.'

He gave his location and the following day rescuers reached the foot of the 2,400 metre mountain but he was marooned at 1,600 metres.

Monday through Friday resident art critic, foodie and all around good guy CBD attempts to bring us refined culture with his Mid Day Art Thread. Well, I'm not that refined.

I love this painting. Everything you wanted to know about Dogs Playing Poker but were afraid to ask.

It’s not commonly known, but Dogs Playing Poker by Cassius Marcellus Coolidge refers to not just one painting, but 18 of them! The series includes the artist’s original Poker Game (1894) painting, along with 16 other oil paintings commissioned in 1903 by Brown & Bigelow to advertise cigars, and an additional 1910 painting. All eighteen of these paintings feature comical, humanized dogs; however, only eleven of the paintings actually depict poker-faced pups playing cards around a table.
