Tuesday Overnight Open Thread (11/19/24) [Doof]

Howdy Hordelings! I didn’t expect to be back behind the wheel of the ONT again so soon, but based on the reaction to my recent debut post, I’m giving it another go. Glad you stopped by!

The People’s President
Check out this video clip from 1992. Trump was already a pop culture legend back then. 30-some years later, NFL players who weren’t even born at that time are proudly imitating his goofy dance during games. The guy is an enigma!

Random Historical Trivia Nugget of the Night

How many of you can name all 50 State Capitals? I get mixed up on a few,
but for the most part, I can. But over the years, some states have relocated
their capital to a different city for various reasons. Do you know that last
time this occurred? If you said Oklahoma in 1910, give yourself a high-five!
Admitted to the United States in 1907, Oklahoma’s first capital was Guthrie.
Then in 1910, voters approved a ballot measure to move the capital 30-ish
miles south to Oklahoma City.

25 states have relocated their capital at least once – here’s a lighthearted judgment of each of those states.

For our Oklahoma Hordelings:
