Saturday Overnight Open Thread (8/14/21)

I went line dancing last night. OK, it was a roadside sobriety test... same thing.(H/T CBD)

Is she stupid or high? You decide.

My money is that she is high.

Some people like a stationary second home. Some people like to camp. While others like to move about the country in a RV. This is pretty cool school bus conversion.

Gregoire Thoby, 33, and Fabrice Delaure, 52, are so committed to their nomadic lifestyle that they have even sold their house in California and have "no destination" set, apart from adventure.

"We lived in an off-grid RV for some time in France and Spain and absolutely loved being nomads, the freedom of it," says Gregoire, who moved to LA from Paris with Fabrice in 2015.

"We wanted to let go of things: our apartment, most of our belongings, our upstairs neighbour’s phone calls in the middle of the night. Work less, earn less, live more."

Tonight, The ONT tries its hand at food. I TRIED TO RECREATE MY FAVORITE DISCONTINUED HOT POCKETS - An incredible culinary horror ensued

I don’t like to waste food. For whatever repressed childhood reason, a wave of guilt washes over me when uneaten food goes into the trash. This can have its benefits — like when I make banana bread from overripe bananas — but it also has drawbacks. Which is why I can sometimes be found eating cold dinosaur chicken nuggets after my daughter becomes full after a single stegosaurus.

Things were no different during this past school year. When my daughter was learning virtually, her school district sent home what would have been her school lunches. There was good stuff in there — like little boxes of cereal and fresh fruit — but there were also less appetizing things, like frozen mystery meat and off-brand Hot Pockets, the latter of which is where this journey begins.

Have any of you attempted to recreate an OTC food product? If so what were the results?

We all collect something. Since this is a Smart Military Blog^TM I thought we would cover what one man, identified in court documents as Klaus-Dieter F. from Heikendorf, collected.

For decades, a German man has stockpiled Nazi weapons of war in his basement, including a 45-ton Panzer-V (Panther) tank and an 88-millimeter anti-aircraft gun. Now, a German court has given him a 14-month suspended sentence and fine of about $300,000 for the arsenal, which was seized in a raid in 2015.

How the hell do you get a tank into your basement? Awesome collection, too bad some sniveling Karen had to spoil it for Mr. Klaus-Dieter F from Heikendorf.

Is this guy the Official Chaplin for The Bulwark & Conservative, Inc.?

If I was as smart as Jim Bakker's audience, I would join them in buying a $1,000 "Miracle Blanket" that magically pays bills.

Bakker, the convicted fraudster televangelist who was recently fined for selling a phony Covid-19 cure, seems destined to spend the rest of his life running grifts on wide-eyed suckers. At this point, anyone giving this guy a nickel deserves what they receive in return.
