Don't Make Me Turn This ONT Around And Go Home! I'll Do It!

ONT Game

OK gang, how about we do something a little different tonight? As W.O.P.R. says, “Would you like to play a game?”

So, following the instructions above, I got “The Lebanon” (song by The Human League) from Wikipedia and “a question of equality” (1 Corinthians 8:13 - It is not that there may be relief for others and hardship for you, but it is a question of equality  ) from Wikiquote. I don't have a Flikr account, so I just went to their webpage and googled “last 7 days”. That got me this picture. Put them all together and...voilà!

That most definitely could be an 80s album cover. Alright, that took me 5 minutes, whostaa got Horde?

News You Don't Need

Belle Delphine Will Sell Condom Used In Her First Ever Porn Film

I had no idea who Belle Daphine is, I assumed from the title that she was a porn star and my thought was “Why does she still have that?”. It turns out, however, that she's some kind of internet attention whore who is going to finally do porn, and then auction off the condom used. Oh boy, what a souvenir for her fans, the spunk of whatever random dude banged her on camera. What a world.

Oh, and if you really want “What a world”, while researching the above, I found a website that claims she's made over a million bucks cosplaying (dressing up as fictional characters, frequently from anime) online over the past few years.

Warning! Educational Material Ahead!

James Bond Did It

Sad news from Puerto Rico. Iconic Dish at Arecibo Observatory Has Collapsed. Apparently they are going to continue to use other portions of the facility for research, but the giant dish, featured prominently in the movie Goldeneye, hence the title, is no more. That's a shame, but I wonder how much of a loss it actually is. Maybe a science-minded Moron can tell me, what the dish still providing useful information, or was it obsolete?

This Is Amusing

Human Ship Naming

The most modern design of this classification, as any well informed reader will know is the Serendipity class, a series of five ships. In this class are the, OCS She's One of Ours Sir, the OCS That's a Friendly Captain, the OCS False Alarm Scanner's Acting Up Again, the OCS Nevermind Just a Speck of Dust on the Scanner Screen, and of course the infamous OCS I Fornicated With You Maternal Progenitor Captain. Their names as you may have noted, are unusual, designed to cause confusion on the command decks of hostile ships which spot them and read their IFF signatures, usually aloud.

Truth Or Parody?

Is it just me, or are Captchas getting worse? I've had a couple over the past month or so that required me to do, no lie, 6 or 7 of them before I could proceed.

Some Thoughts I've Been Thinking

Even more concerning: How long is this going to go on? We as a people have shown that we'll happily discard our rights, our liberty, and our mental health because some government “expert” says to. We've scorched the middle class, crippled the economy and empowered tyrants. I hate to use the old cliché that “our forefathers would have been shooting by now”, but, well, our forefathers would have been shooting by now. This past weekend Maryland sent 200 state troopers to the city of Baltimore for the specific purpose of enforcing mask laws. They were in fact ordered to ignore any crime they observed that was not related to not wearing a mask. We are so far through the looking glass that it's not funny anymore. Since it's worked so well, how long until they trot out COVID 21? Or COVID 22? There's an old saying that goes “Pay off a blackmailer once and you'll get a lifetime of service”. I contend that bending a knee to an authoritarian government once earns you a lifetime of tyranny.

This Is Pretty Old

But I wonder if any of ya'll have ever seen a John Venn diagram?

Tonight's ONT brought to you by asking the deep questions:
