Club ONT Recognizes Establishments of Similar Caliber

Welcome to Club ONT! A collaboration of your Sunday through Wednesday Thursday ONT Crew - The Disco, The Doggo, and The Dino. Your membership application has been approved (with only mild sighing and minimal regret). The secret phrase/password this week is: You'll get used to it.

Saturday Night Jokes and Other Funnies

Paddy and Mick flew to Canada on a hunting trip. They chartered a small plane to take them into the Rockies for week hunting moose.

They managed to bag six. As they were loading the plane to return, the pilot said the plane could take only four moose.

The two lads objected strongly. "Last year we shot six. The pilot let us take them all and he had the same plane as yours."

Reluctantly, the pilot gave in and all six were loaded. The plane took off. However, while attempting to cross some mountain even on full power, the little plane couldn't handle the load and went down.

Somehow, surrounded by the moose bodies, Paddy and Mick survived the crash.

After climbing out of the wreckage, Paddy asked Mick, "Any idea where we are?"

Mick replied, "I think we're pretty close to where we crashed last year!"

Club ONT Dazzle Camo

Tactical judgement impaired. Much like the college years. Or a Swalwell honey trap. Wonder if this would work on the AWFL's

Wilkinson knew the Royal Navy couldn't use traditional camouflage to their advantage. The giant ships with massive amounts of smoke pouring from their stacks would be difficult to conceal.

So, Wilkinson proposed that the Navy utilize a different type of camouflage — one meant not to conceal but to confuse. Dazzle camouflage utilized zebra stripes, bold patterns, and vivid colors to make it difficult for German U-boats to determine the speed and course of battleships. Without knowing exactly which way the vessels were headed, the U-boats couldn't calculate where to launch their torpedoes.

Drink of the Night

Summer Sunset Cocktail

Why You’ll Love It

Just 4 ingredients. Make this refreshing cocktail with vodka, orange juice, grenadine, and lime-flavored seltzer water. The lime slice and maraschino cherry garnish are optional, but highly encouraged.

It looks just like a summer sunset. Skip the cocktail shaker. Pour the ingredients directly into the glass to create the gorgeous gradient.

Ingredients
Ice
2 ounces orange juice
1 ounce vodka
1/2 ounce genadine
3 ounces cold lime-flavored seltzer water
Lime slice, for garnish (optional)
1 maraschino cherry with stem, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
Fill a highball or Collins glass halfway with ice. Add 2 ounces orange juice and 1 ounce vodka, and stir to combine. Slowly pour 1/2 ounce grenadine into the center of the glass, letting it settle on the bottom. Do not stir. Top with 3 ounces cold lime-flavored seltzer water. Garnish with a lime slice and a maraschino cherry.

***

Not the drink of the night. But caption worthy. Nothing says classy like loudly ordering this at the bar.

Gunfighter's Surgeon - Part 1

Dr. George Emery Goodfellow, who would come to be known as the “Gunfighter’s surgeon,” fully embodied what it meant to be a surgeon in the Wild Wild West. As was common for life in the frontier, improvisation was the theme of the day and, in that vein, Goodfellow challenged himself to perform previously unreported operative interventions in his efforts to save his patients. The Gunfighter’s surgeon also doubled as the coroner, using his gift for scientific inquiry in his post-mortem observations. His inquisitive nature also led him to reinvent a fundamental urologic procedure, the prostatectomy. No catalogue of the American Southwest would be complete without detailing his life and contributions.

***

Notorious for its “shoot for the guts” approach to resolving disputes, the colorful activities of the Tombstone residents provided Goodfellow with ample opportunity to study the consequences of being one of the “festive or obstreperous citizens (who) delighted themselves with toys such as the 44 or 45-calibre Colt revolver and the 45-60 and 44-40 Winchester rifles and Carbines.”

Gunfighter's Surgeon - Part 2

While he left the bravado of gunfights behind him, George Goodfellow brought the same pioneering spirit to defining himself and a surgical field that was in its infancy – urology - and centered his work on prostatic disease, which was in the lime-light of the surgical theater. Goodfellow’s most significant contribution to urology—the perineal prostatectomy—was reported to be performed by him upon his arrival in Tucson on October 13, 1891 (likely at St. Mary’s Hospital) almost 13 years prior to his formal publications claiming credit for performing a pure perineal prostatectomy, the first so far as known to me, deliberately devised and carried out.

I don't think the Gunfighter's Surgeon could help this 'bro with his bromide problem.

Hospital put a psych hold on him which likely saved his life.

Genius takes the advice of AI for a salt substitute.

He also shared that, after reading about the negative effects that sodium chloride, or table salt, has on one's health, he was surprised that he could only find literature related to reducing sodium from one's diet. Inspired by his history of studying nutrition in college, he decided to conduct a personal experiment to eliminate chloride from his diet. For 3 months, he had replaced sodium chloride with sodium bromide obtained from the internet after consultation with ChatGPT, in which he had read that chloride can be swapped with bromide, though likely for other purposes, such as cleaning.

Club ONT Window Shopping Department

Did you know that Bring a Trailer hosts military vehicles? Did you know that tanks have been listed? In fact, a 1982 Soviet T-54 was recently sold for a little over $221,000. I would like to think that a Moron bought it to make a big entrance at the Texas MoMe.

Bonus music - Remembering "The King" on the anniversary of his death (Aug 16, 1977)

Remember this from El Rushbo's radio program?

That, of course, is a parody of The Elvis song "In The Ghetto"

Cartman did it better

This spirit of Elvis lives on here at Club ONT. Please raise one in his honor. Thank you. Thank you very much!

Top 10ish Comments of the Week. Or thereabout...

Club ONT brought to you by International relations:

Club ONT is officially in back to school mode. Please prepare backpacks with standard essentials for Club ONT patrons in need and drop them off in the bin near the door. Your favorite adopted Moron would appreciate a Sony Walkman, a Speak n Spell, a 64 crayon set for coloring, graph paper and a protractor, a bottle of Hoppes 9, and a battery powered rotary phone. Some Morons could use a map to help them get out of the barrel too.
