Wednesday Overnight Open Thread - January 22, 2025 [TRex]

Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the overnight variety.

Buckle up. This is the Wednesday night ONT.

Saw this on the interweb. Which one of the Horde was at Hobby Lobby? (No, TRex can take no credit.)

More on the top photo: After working for others, Ferdinand Porsche opened his own design company. He ran a design consultancy company in Stuttgart, Germany for a dozen years. The bombing raids on the industrial city of Stuttgart caused him to move the company to a former sawmill in Gmünd, Austria.

When the war ended, Ferdinand Porsche became an involuntary guest of the French for two years (1945-1947). Ferdinand’s son, Ferdinand Anton Ernst Porsche, better known as Ferry, started a new company at the Gmünd location to manufacture cars under the Porsche name. The first was a roadster that emerged in 1948, known as the 356 “No. 1” Roadster. 44 coupes and 8 cabriolets were made in the Gmünd facility before the company returned to Stuttgart. These most original Porsches are highly prized today. The first 356 roadster is in the Porsche Museum collection.

In the days before EweBewb, this video made a global legend of the car, driver and circuit:

Doof acknowledged the birthday of El Rushbo in a recent ONT. Thought the Horde might appreciate seeing where the mortal remains of Mr. Limbaugh reside. Bellefontaine Cemetery is located near St. Louis, Missouri.

A little magic for the ONT:

We have previously established that the Guinness Book of World Records has jumped the shark. Way over the shark. TRex is not saying that he could do this, but here we are...

In news completely unrelated to anything, TRex would like to thank the fine staff at the Hobby Lobby location in Tupelo, Mississippi. The restrooms are clean and everything on the shelves appears to be in order.

Do not try this at home. If you do, do not post it on social media. Doctor Performs Vasectomy on Himself, Shares Video on Social Media

A Taiwanese plastic surgeon has been getting a lot of attention for sharing a video of performing a vasectomy on himself on social media, as a gift to his wife.

If this was the best option, his wife must be very difficult to buy for.

Promotional public service announcement. If you know Jewells or her jewelry, please stop by the Hobby Thread on Saturday (5:30pm ET or 1730 since this is a somewhat smart military blog). Should be a good time. BYOB.

Get yourself some cheap sunglasses for the big ONT finish:

Written correspondence can be sent to moronhobbies at protonmail dot com. There are so many mystery clicks that you will get tired of them. Mystery clicks like never before. "TRex, all these mystery clicks are so good! Can we slow them down? I can only take so much winning!" And you will get more mystery clicks because the winning will not stop. It will be beautiful.
