Overnight Open Thread - Replacement Edition (Mætenloch)
— Open Blog

[Okay I managed to erase the original ONT while attempting to remove some spam. I blame myself, the late hour, and all the cough syrup I drank but mostly myself. So here's a replacement ONT to make up for it.]

Evening M&Ms. Christmas approaches so here's a little something to get you in the proper spirit.

“Fairytale Of New York” by The Pogues with Kirsty MacColl
You scumbags and you maggots and well you know the rest. Interestingly in 2007 the BBC started censoring the song due to its use of the words 'faggot' and 'slut'. After complaints they relented and played the original version.

Top Toys of the 80'S
Okay some of these do predate the 80's. But I guess toy history started in 1980.

5 Earlier there was talk of McRibs and Camillus, NY. It imploded under it's own gravity.

6 Strange how a dude on a rant from roughly forty years ago can fit so well when clipped in to be chewing out the President of the United States.

10 Anybody catch the Fiesta Bowl scandal news last night/this morning? 

Fiesta Bowl employees say bowl repaid political contributions CEO John Junker denies repayments, which would violate election laws

Past and present Fiesta Bowl employees have told The Arizona Republic they were encouraged to write checks to specific candidates and were reimbursed by the bowl.

Such reimbursement would violate state and federal laws that prohibit funneling corporate campaign contributions through individuals. Participants could be charged with misdemeanors and felonies. 

*snip*

The Republic reviewed campaign-finance reports since 2000 and found 12 occasions where similar contributions from three or more Fiesta Bowl employees were recorded on the same day and given to the same candidate.

In many instances, records show, Junker and Chief Operating Officer Natalie Wisneski gave to the same candidate on the same day.

On March 8, 2007, for example, Junker, Wisneski, their spouses and Wisneski's secretary each gave $2,100 for a combined $10,500 to John McCain's presidential campaign, records show. A McCain spokeswoman said the senator's campaign had no knowledge of any alleged wrongdoing and would never condone any violation of campaign-election laws.

11 There was a comment last night that Lord Monckton was pushed to the ground and knocked unconscious by Danish Police. http://sppiblog.org/news/is-the-european-police-state-going-global

12 WTF happened last night with the comments???? It must have had to do with that obscene refreshing issue.

13 Why did Maet wipe the entire thread comment section from last night? I must have had a better time with paranoidgirlfromseattle than I thought. And I slept thru all of it. DAMN.

14 It's 8:39 AM in Connecticut, and there are 11 degrees of Global Warming outside. Anymore Global Warming, and the Housatonic will turn into a solid chunk of ice.

15 So I'll repeat my comment from last night.
Possibly the greatest ever pre-electronic era toy. Frustration ball.

I blame the Zionist hair-rays of Miss'80sbaby.  I tried to tell everyone about how evil she is, but nobody listened to me.

So the 42-quatrain poem I wrote praising the ladies of the ONT has been lost to time? Forever?

Crap. >^(

19 Here's the report of Lord Monckton being roughed-up by the cops in Copenhagen from last night's ONT. [h/t Kate at SDA] And for those not in the know, here's what Lord Monckton looks and sounds like. And, no, it's not like a hippie rioter. Watch all five pages of the link--it's worth it.

20 Fairytale of New York is strangely charming, I have that on CD here and it works despite being crude and insulting for some reason.
