Wednesday Overnight Open Thread - April 2, 2025 [TRex]

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

This is the Wednesday night ONT.

A special welcome to those who have given up commenting on Ace of Spades for Lent and have assumed temporary lurker status. The rest of you know what that means. More commenting to take up the slack. Comment of the week honors are at stake.

Rabbit seasoning (aka rabbit season, duck season):

What's Opera, doc? (aka Kill the Wabbit):

Duck Amuck (aka Daffy breaks the fourth wall):

Yosemite Sam protects the Mason Dixon Line:

Mars Ultimatum:

Bugs meets the Tasmanian Devil:

Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote:

I thought I saw a Putty Tat! I did! I did saw a Putty Tat!

One Froggy Evening (featuring Michigan J. Frog):

What other characters should we acknowledge? Speedy Gonzales? Foghorn Leghorn? Pepe Le Pew? The Abominable Snowman? Granny?

Mel Blanc famously gave voice to the Looney Tunes family. What a remarkable range.

Warner Brothers published this poster on his passing:

He is buried at Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles:

Here is Mr. Blanc on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson:

As the animator, Chuck Jones provided the visuals and movement to tell the story. He showed so much with such simple sketches. He has no cemetery headstone. He was cremated and his ashes spread at sea.

Here is an interview while he was still among the living.

Who among us hasn't taken a little C4 home from work for our pup?

Army sergeant charged with taking C4 explosive to his Colorado Springs home">

Joshua King is charged with possession, use, or removal of explosive devices after his wife alleges she found a block of C4 explosive among his things. King is a sergeant in the 588th Engineer Battalion, 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division at Fort Carson.

Law enforcement said his wife told law enforcement she and Joshua were going through a divorce. She said she was cleaning out the home when she found the C4 in a small wooden dresser in the garage.

His wife told investigators that he allegedly brought home the plastic explosive shortly after her father gave them a retired explosives detection canine. She said Joshua had told her not to tell anyone that he brought the C4 home from Ft. Carson. At the time, she said she didn't realize exactly what C4 was.

Investigators later spoke to another ex of King's who was living with him at a different residence.

Someone signed for the C4 at some point, so going to be some 'splainin to do. Don't think C4 is in the same category as office supplies.

Dear Wednesday ONT readers, I give you...the Guinness World Record for the most standing jumps onto a pair of raw eggs in one minute. This one just baffles me. I don't get it, but somehow it earned a World Record?

You knew it was coming. Ozzy Fudd for our big ONT finish:

Written correspondence can be sent to moronhobbies at protonmail dot com. Are you lurking? Come out and play. Did you take a wrong turn at Albuquerque?
