Monday Night ONT - August 10, 2026 [TRex]

Good evening Horde. The time has come for Monday shenanigans. The bar is open and freshly re-stocked. A&W Rootbeer for everyone tonight!

Welcome to the Monday night ONT which means vintage overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and join the fun. Good will offerings of amusing puns are encouraged. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. Pants are optional. This ONT is a Tucker, Candace, Megyn, and Bill Kristol free zone. Fauci is fair game.

[Top photo: If AOP lived in Pie Town, New Mexico in 1940, this would have been him. I'm more surprised to learn there is a town in New Mexico named after pie, but the place is reportedly famous for its homemade pies. If you're going to be known for something, it might as well be pies, right?]

The Monday ONT has dialed up the wayback machine tonight with very random results.

Giant Forest, Sequoia National Park - July 1935. No, I don't know why these women were riding horses on top of the fallen Sequoia.

Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad Locomotive 470 - date unknown.

Dime Savings Bank at the intersection of Woodward Avenue and Willis Street, Detroit, Michigan - circa 1910-1912

Dixie Bottling Works on Lee Street in Bristol, Virginia (the town that straddles the Tennessee and Virginia state line) - 1915

Horse drawn tram in Berzelii park, Stockholm, Sweden - circa 1900. Can anyone pronounce the word on the front of the tram?

Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - 1980

Please do not molest the bears at Sequoia National Park (or anywhere else for that matter)

Baldwin Chevrolet in Baldwin, Long Island, New York - 1968. Anyone know what the "Fantastic Five" means without looking it up?

Can't find any evidence that Jo Jo's Kountry Kitchen in Camden, Alabama is still open. Anyone know the place?

Apparently smoking while riding the Merry Go Round was a thing at the fair in Rutland, Vermont in 1941.

1943 WWII Army Ground Forces Training Film - "How to get killed in one easy lesson."

You want music in your ONT?

This ONT was brought to you by shopping, the old fashioned way:
