Saturday Overnight Open Thread (3/20/21)

PRIEST: “Do you think we should have told him where the stepping stones are?”

A guy asked a girl in a university library:
“Do you mind if I sit beside you?”

All the people in the library looked at the girl in shock. The guy
whispered in her ear:
“I study law, and I know how to screw people”

I have suffered "Cabin Fever" over the years. I'm not sure if this is a cure.........

I'm not a golfer. I attempted the game several times when I was a youngster. I just never got into it. However, I know quite a few folks who love the game. As they get older modern advancements will allow them to keep at the game.

Roy H. Taylor was an aerospace engineer at Lockheed Missile and Space before he dreamed up the PowerGolf club, one of the most interesting things you’ll ever see on a golf course.

Frustrated with his results on the golf course, Taylor decided to apply rocket science to his game. Working through prototypes, patents and perspiration, Taylor invented the extraordinary PowerGolf club, which allows users to consistently hit perfect shots from 50 yards away, all the way up to 225 yards.

The rocket fuel inside the PowerGolf club is actually gun powder, and the long barrel acts as a silencer to keep the decibels down to a level similar to that of a metal head driver. Users can even use the club to hit high shots, low shots, fades and draws, depending on how they address it at impact.

“There’s a lot of skill still left in the game,,” explains Steve Fluke, Chief Marketing Officer of PowerGolf. "You have to allow for wind and roll and setting the yardage. So it’s PowerGolf but it’s not automatic golf.

We all complain there isn't much on television worth watching. Good news, Mike Rowe's Dirty Jobs is coming back.

Discovery chose today, March 18, Mike Rowe’s birthday to announce the return of his hit series Dirty Jobs — and I can’t wait!

The time couldn’t be more perfect to celebrate those whose unglamorous jobs keep civilization humming. A few weeks ago, we talked about his Discovery+ show, Six Degrees With Mike Rowe, and Rowe observed:

I hadn’t thought about it in those terms, but Dirty Jobs was the celebration of that which was out of sight out of mind, but nevertheless, essential.

Thanks Sock Monkey for this cute video............

Apple's marketing doesn't impress Brazil. LOLGF.

The consumer protection agency in Brazil’s São Paulo state has fined Apple $2 million for failing to include chargers within iPhone 12 boxes, according to 9to5 Mac. Procon-SP says Apple engaged in “misleading advertising, selling a device without the charger and unfair terms.”

Apple announced in October that the iPhone 12 and would not come with chargers or earbuds in their boxes, citing environmental concerns. By only including a USB-C to Lightning cable with iPhone 12 and other new models, Apple said it would be able to reduce the raw materials for each iPhone it sells, in addition to reducing the size of the phones’ boxes. Critics suggested the change had more to do with allowing Apple to reduce shipping costs, and environmental experts said the impact on the environment would likely be minimal.

Hi, MisHum. Thought I'd share this with you. It's all outstanding
music but I doubt the 'rons will hear a note of the first number. - Creeper

Vehicular destruction is a popular YouTube trend. YouTubers destroy perfectly good vehicles to rake in millions of views and plenty of cash. One infamous YouTuber is facing charges of 18 criminal counts after allegedly destroying the environment while filming his videos.

Street Speed 717 is a popular carnage channel similar to that of WhistlinDiesel. The channel is run by Michael Hyssong and you’ll find plenty of street racing, questionable car modifications and a surprising amount of vehicular destruction on his account. These shenanigans popped up on the radar of Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission and it brought 18 criminal charges against Hyssong for the actions depicted in his videos:

Usually Saturday night there isn't a Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day. Tonight is different.

ARLINGTON, Texas — An armed child-rape suspect who left Arkansas, where he was wanted on 11 felony counts, was killed in Arlington, Texas, this week after pointing a gun at police during a traffic stop, according to reports

That story too heavy for you on a Saturday night. I can't make guarantees, but I'm convinced this will put a smile on your face. (Trust me......)

Tonight's ONT has been brought to you by Predicaments.
