Saturday Night "Club ONT" June 14, 2025 [The 3 Ds]

Welcome to Club ONT! A collaboration of your Sunday through Wednesday ONT Crew - The Disco, The Doggo, and The Dino. You're in! And look fabulous! There is no turning back now. Grab a chair or mingle with the questionable characters - they have a bunch of inside jokes that make little sense. Remember to clear your search history.

Club shoutout to JQ for whipping the place back into shape in time for the festivities this evening. She has unlocked the coveted and legendary Aluminum Foil Membership.

Saturday Night Joke and Other Funnies

An American legislator hosts a Russian legislator at his very nice, upscale home on a lake. The Russian is impressed and asks him how he affords this on a legislator's salary. The American points and says "See that $50 million bridge?" The Russian nods. "I got $55 million allocated to it, and through various means, I funneled $5 million of that to my own pocket in the process." The Russian looked very impressed.

Later, the American visits the Russian, and was amazed when he saw that the Russian had an entire mansion. He asks him how he afforded it. The Russian points and says, "See that $50 million bridge?"

"No" says the American.

"Exactly" says the Russian.

Back in the 1980s, a reporter from NYC called Moscow and asked, "Is it true that under communism, grain grows like telegraph poles?" "In principle, yes. We don't quite have the size yet, but the spacing is right already."

Happy Birthday, US Army!

The Club honors and thanks members and guests who have served in any branch of the US military, and today we send a special HOOAH! to those who served in the Army.

It's National Bourbon Day!

Flag Day, The US Army's Birthday, and National Bourbon Day. Can we represent all of that in a single photo? Why, of course we can!

What is bourbon anyway?

A Guide to America's Original Whiskey

Bourbon is a type of primarily corn-based whiskey that is made in the United States and aged in new charred-oak barrels. Although it legally must contain 51% corn in the mash (or total makeup of grains), most bourbons are often made with anywhere from 60-86% corn. The other grains in a bourbon can vary, but may include rye, wheat, or barley. There are no regulations as to how long bourbon must age, but to be labeled straight bourbon it must age for at least two years in new charred oak.

This is helpful!

OK - but what's the BEST bourbon? That's a subjective question that involves a lot of different factors.

Disco's 3-factor, as-objective-as-possible answer:

1. It tastes the way YOU want it to taste
2. It is priced at an amount YOU are willing to pay
3. It is available anytime YOU want it

Yeah - YOU determine the answer!

That 3rd one is the tricky one. Some brands (looking at you, Buffalo Trace) make great varieties of bourbon and are often at the top of people's lists of favorites -- but they are not always available everywhere.

So keep trying different ones and find the one that YOU like best!

Drink of the Night

Can only be one choice today!
Bourbon. Neat.

Directions:
Open a bottle of bourbon
Pour some in a glass
Sip bourbon
Repeat

Actually, there's an important step in there before sipping it. Smell it!

Jim Beam master distiller Fred Noe explains in this video. He also talks about "The Kentucky Chew" - the way his father, Booker Noe, tasted bourbon.

Club ONT Wedding Advice

Why Burying A Bottle Of Bourbon Is A Southern Wedding Tradition

Burying a bottle of bourbon keeps the rain away on your wedding day?

Time it right: You'll want to bury an unopened bottle of bourbon exactly one month before your wedding date near the site where you'll be reciting your vows.

The right way: Also, it has to be bourbon (not whiskey) and it must be buried upside down to ensure the best possible weather for your big day.

The last step in completing this Southern tradition actually happens after the ceremony. Once you've officially sealed the deal, you have to dig your bottle of bourbon up and share it with your wedding party.

Club ONT provides a reminder of the Golden Rule: thou shalt stay out of the passing lane unless thou art passing. Those who sit in the left lane and hold up traffic behind them impede those attempting to reach Club ONT with appropriate alacrity. Fair notice is provided that Club ONT personnel are authorized to utilize heat seeking missiles to deal with offenders. There shall be no impediments for the Horde to get to Club ONT. Almost forgot..the door latch is a little wonky, so make sure to close it after you enter Club ONT.
