Saturday Night Club ONT - June 6, 2026 [D Squared]

School is out, summer is in. Time for some backyard barbecue and quality time spent with good people in good places.

Welcome to Club ONT - a collaboration of The Disco and The Dino (with a dash of guest Doggo tonight!). We built this place for you so you can have some fun. Come in in, grab a drink or 3. Keep it light and friendly. Jerks need not enter the premises (the moose out front will keep watch).

Saturday Night Jokes and Other Funnies

Double Positive

An MIT linguistics professor was lecturing his class the other day. "In English," he said, "a double negative forms a positive. However, in some languages, such as Russian, a double negative remains a negative. But there isn't a single language, not one, in which a double positive can express a negative." A voice from the back of the room said, "Yeah, right."

Anyone want to be Mayor?

New York village to vote for mayor with a blank ballot

A village on New York's Long Island is facing a highly unusual mayoral election after no candidates registered to run for the office.

Bayville Mayor Steve Minicozzi announced in April that he would not be seeking reelection, and Christopher Vivona, the village's deputy clerk-treasurer, confirmed no one else registered to run.

Vivona said June 16 will mark the first time he knows of that the village of approximately 7,000 people will go to the polls to vote for mayor with a blank ballot.

Officials said the election will be decided by write-in votes. John Taylor, who ran against Minicozzi in 2022, said he would be willing to serve if he gains enough write-in votes.

"[If] some guy comes up there with 50 of his friends, he's your mayor," Watson told NBC New York. "If 100 people get one write in each it's a tie. So it's a strange situation."

Any Morons live in Bayville?

End of an era

VMA-223 celebrates sundown as Marine Corps' final Harrier squadron

Marine Attack Squadron (VMA) 223, known as "the Bulldogs," celebrated the conclusion of nearly 40 years of operational history with the AV-8B Harrier II during a public ceremony at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, Wednesday. The ceremony marked an important moment in time for VMA-223 and also signaled the end of an era for Marine Corps aviation as the service continues its transition to an all-5th generation tactical aircraft fleet.

Colloquially known as a "jump jet" for its ability to take off and land within short distances, the AV-8B is a V/STOL aircraft designed to support the Marine Air Ground Task Force commander by destroying surface targets and escorting friendly aircraft. The AV-8B's lethality and V/STOL capability made it uniquely suited for deployments in support of Marine Expeditionary Units (MEUs). VMA-223's final detachment of Harriers to support a MEU returned to Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point last month after supporting operations with the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit in the Caribbean.

In fiscal year 2028 VMA-223 is scheduled to reactivate as Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA)-223 and will begin flying the F-35B Lightning II. VMA-223 is the last Marine Corps squadron to operate the Harrier.

Farewell Harrier.

Smarty for Club ONT Smarties

History of Smarties. Now we are talking!

This all sounds like a fairly unsurprising origin story, save for one thing - the original candies were made using old wartime pellet machines designed to compress gunpowder into ammunition. That's right! Instead of making bullets, Dee made candy.
