Saturday Night "Club ONT" September 13, 2025 [The 3 Ds]

What are your all timers for listening to live music in small venues? Hit the comments.

Welcome to Club ONT! A collaboration the 3D's - The Disco, The Doggo, and The Dino. Don't worry, membership is free. All acting responsibly must relay their reasoning to the Horde through interpretive dance.

More live music - The Disco was listening to cover bands on the high seas a week or so ago and saw the dandy Gibson guitar below which would be a fine addition to his or any collection.

[Disco says: This guitar really caught my eye in the way the light hit the blend of black and brown. This was at a small venue on an NCL ship called "Syd Norman's Pour House". Syd Norman is a made up name with a made up history. Kitschy but fun. The band that was playing was very talented. There was a bit of over-produced schtick between the songs, but that's expected on a cruise ship.
That particular guitar may be available for purchase somewhere, but the one that I really, really want is much harder to find. Read on.]

Saturday Night Jokes and Other Funnies

A guy goes on vacation to a tropical island. As soon as he gets off the plane, he hears drums. He thinks, "Wow, this is cool." He goes to the beach, hears drums. he eats lunch, hears drums. He tries to go to sleep, hears drums.

This goes on for several days and nights. It's driving him nuts!

He goes down to the front desk and asks, "Hey, what's with these drums? Do they ever stop? I cannot get any sleep.

The hotel staff replies, "No! Drums must never stop. Very, very bad if drums stop.

"Why?"

"When the drums stop, the bass solo begins."

*****
How do you catch a drummer? Lay down a snare. What’s the best way to confuse a drummer? Put sheet music in front of him.

Drink of the Night

Playing card drinks - continuing the theme

Keeping with the Theme of the Week

Not linking a big list - the Horde has their favorite haunts of live music. One person band in Florida, local watering hole, hard cores doing micro on macro level. What say you?

If you're into anarchy, off color hair, and youthful debauchery, Club Kafe 44 in Stockholm may be your bag.

AoSHQ Master Commenter Miklos recommended Caveau de la Huchette. And as typical, friend Miklos did not disappoint. Paris Jazz Club of awesomeness.

Club ONT False Advertising

Yes! Beerometer. How many cases of beer per line, per shift. Line 3 is kicking ass.

I am disappoint. Closer look shows they are canning energy drinks, not beer.

Club ONT History

Any ever tried pulque? No, morons...not pulling your pulque - the drink.

Drink fast. College flashbacks - sipping is discouraged.

One of the reasons pulque is relatively overlooked compared to other fermented beverages, such as kombucha (originating in ancient China) and kefir (hailing from the North Caucasus), is its exceedingly brief shelf life. Naturally fermented in an enclosed container over 12 to 24 hours, it reaches an alcohol concentration comparable to beer – roughly 4 percent to 6 percent – then rapidly spoils over the next 24 to 36 hours.

Been a tough week. Club ONT has a heavy heart but clear eyes. Great to have the Moron Horde virtually in one place to connect with each other. You are not alone. We're all collectively struggling but in our own ways. Prayers all around. Having said that, the table in the corner is still wobbly. The bartender has matchbooks if needed.
