Saturday Night "Club ONT" December 6, 2025 [The 3 Ds]

Welcome to Club ONT. A collaboration the 3D's - The Disco, The Dino, and The Doggo. We are officially in the "Turkey-to-Tinsel Gap" portion of the holiday season. People are pretending to work, and many are in the early stages of convincing themselves they will "begin eating healthy tomorrow" - which means Monday, or later. The Club does not endorse such ideas of slimming and trimming over the holiday season.

The 3D's are here to help you slide into a bit of mischief, joy, and lighthearted fun. The doorman? We don't think the doorman is coming back from vacation. Please see yourselves in.

The beverage that needs no marketing budget for you to know it exists. The brand is deserving of some Horde slogans and taglines.

RC Cola, and you thought TikTok was mainstream.

RC Cola, because influencers have no taste.

RC Cola, the underdog that refuses to pay for fame.

Happy St. Nicholas Day! The "Feast of Saint Nicholas" is celebrated on December 6 each year (although some celebrate on the December 5 eve). The American Santa Claus, as well as the British Father Christmas, derive from Saint Nicholas.

St. Nicholas was a bishop known for his good deeds, especially those that helped children and the needy. He often gave generously and without anyone knowing the gifts were from him. Nicholas was officially recognized as a saint in the 800s, and in the 1200s, Catholics in France began celebrating Bishop Nicholas Day on December 6.

Many European countries celebrate the Feast of Sinterklaas - also known as St. Nicholas - starting on the 5th of December, the eve of the day, by sharing candies, chocolate letters, small gifts, and riddles. Children put out their shoes filled with carrots and hay for the saint's horse the evening prior, hoping St. Nicholas will exchange them for small gifts. Source

St. Nicholas does not operate alone...

In most areas where Krampus is known, the tradition is that St. Nicholas visits children on the night of December 5 (St. Nicholas Eve) or on December 6 (St. Nicholas's Day), leaving presents much like Santa Claus in American tradition. On these visits, St. Nicholas is often accompanied by a Krampus.

In his role as St. Nicholas’s companion, Krampus's main duty is to punish or threaten naughty children while the saint rewards good ones. This can be seen as one of the many variations of the "good cop/ bad cop" or "carrot and stick" approach to managing children’s behavior - and Krampus literally wields a stick, or more commonly a bunch of birch twigs, to discipline children. If this isn't sufficient, St. Nicholas's Krampus companion often carries a basket or a sack, into which he is said to stuff naughty children to take them away and punish later at greater length.

Are you a well behaved Moron or are you getting a visit from Krampus this year? (Public service announcement: Do not confuse Krampus with the Wumpus. Very different.)

The Old State Saloon is at it again (scroll through to see their daily specials).

Amusement park of promotions that put liberals on tilt. In September, they ran a follow up on their June Heterosexual Awesomeness Month with the Hetero Fest.

Currently, they are offering free beer for a month for anyone who helps ICE identify and deport an illegal from Idaho.

"ALERT: Anyone who helps ICE identify and ultimately deport an illegal from Idaho gets FREE BEER FOR ONE MONTH at Old State Saloon!"

When word of the deal spread online, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reacted with a gif of a dinosaur character dropping what appeared to be a beer can while it had a dumbfounded look on its face:

Club ONT Science

Those living in colder climates know. The time has arrived.

Some sciencey reading on fuel stabilizer.

A petrol fuel stabilizer is a chemical additive formulated specifically to slow the degradation of gasoline, protect against ethanol-related issues, and keep the fuel system clean during long-term storage.

It prevents the two biggest problems in stored gasoline:

Oxidation
Ethanol moisture absorption + phase separation
Without a stabilizer, petrol can become unreliable in 30-60 days.

How about diesel? Glad you asked. Similar to the information above, but with the bonus of helping prevent gumming and microbial growth.

A diesel fuel stabilizer is a specially formulated chemical additive that slows the degradation of diesel fuel, prevents microbial growth, controls water contamination, improves lubricity, and stabilizes the fuel for long-term storage.

Diesel is more complex than petrol, so its stabilizers must address different and more severe degradation mechanisms, especially water contamination and microbial growth.

Lubricity? Marking that one to slide into a future sentence.

NOTICE: Patrons with flatulence are welcome to utilize their vanvera while inside Club ONT. Rentals are available for those that did not bring their own. Rentals are believed to have been "cleaned" before re-use, but your mileage may vary (similar to bowling shoe or roller skate rentals).
