Saturday Night Jokes and Other Funnies

A frustrated karate student walks up to his teacher and tells him, "Master, it has been years now and my technique is not improving. What must I do to be as good as you, Master?"

The older man looks at him with kind eyes and says, "My child, have you ever observed the ants - how they work tirelessly day and night to build something that can be swept away with a single wave of the hand?"

"Yes Master, many times," the young one says.

"Have you watched how, in the fiercest storm, bamboo always bends, but never breaks?"

"Yes Master."

"And have you paused to contemplate the reflection of the full moon in still water?"

"Of course Master, many times."

"Now I see your problem, young one. You keep looking at stupid shit instead of practicing."

An Idaho ballot measure in the upcoming midterm election will ask voters to identify an official state gun, The advisory question is non-binding and instead will only advise the state legislature on voter preferences. Voters can pick from the following options:

Winchester Model 1894 (.30-30)
Winchester Model 1873 (.44-40)
1873 Colt Single Action Army Revolver (.45 Colt)
M1 Garand rifle (.30-06)
Colt M1911 .45 automatic Colt pistol (.45 ACP)
Remington Model 700 bolt-action rifle (.30-06)

In order to make a specific firearm the official state gun, the state legislature would need to approve a separate law after the election.

According to the National Rifle Association, as of 2026, ten states have official state guns:

Alaska: Winchester Model 70 Rifle
Arizona: Colt Single Action Army Revolver
Indiana: Grouseland Rifle
Kentucky: Kentucky Long Rifle
Pennsylvania: Pennsylvania Long Rifle
Missouri: Hawken Rifle
Tennessee: Barrett M82 Rifle
Texas: Colt Walker Revolver
Utah: M1911 Pistol
West Virginia: Hall Model 1819 Flintlock Rifle

Club ONT Department of Horrifying Football Trivia

Per Wikipedia:

The Steagles, officially known as the Phil-Pitt Combine, was the team created by the temporary merger of Pennsylvania's two National Football League (NFL) teams, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Philadelphia Eagles, during the 1943 season. The two franchises, due to both having many players leave for military service during World War II, were compelled to field a single combined team. The league's official record book refers to the team as the "Phil-Pitt Combine," but the unofficial and portmanteau variation of the "Steagles," despite never being registered by the NFL, has become the enduring moniker.

What's a "portmanteau" anyway?
