The 16 Trillionth Holiest Site in Islam OOT

Is on Tatooine?

Ra di Martino, an Italian filmmaker based in New York, spent over a year locating and photographing the old Star Wars sets in Tunisia and Morocco. Apparently, another prominently abandoned site was located, utilized for the 1976 film “The Message” and it doesn’t take a Rocket Scientist (much less a TIE fighter pilot) to figure out what it is!

Set A Course! OOT

Before I open up The Overnight Open Thread, allow me to express the following:
DISCLAIMER: No Flame War is intended. No currency units will be exchanged.
Here is one of the most intriguing science fiction comparison pages I’ve encountered:

It’s amusing at times how fans of various science fiction series continue to compare their ships to those of other universes (Hey, I plead Guilty, Your Honor!), especially when it comes to weaponry. Toss those guns aside, and the discussion becomes quite interesting when it concerns travel from Point A to Point B:

It’s a little odd that a genre about science, the field of precision, can be so imprecise. The truth is that spaceships almost always fly at the speed of the plot. But, for those who refuse to accept that, this is a definitive guide to ship speeds, based on highly scientific computer simulations and highly unscientific speculation.

Go to Set A Course! to run the other races. And Engage! Or is that Jump!

Whoever came up with this idea is brilliant. Once we find out we’ll give full credit, and I don’t think it was the Kikmi dog because the Italian Greyhound started it. Admit it. Jumping cats aren’t funny, but jumping dogs are.

We’re talking about standard canine behavior and training, so it’s time to heel, mark, fetch a cold one, sit and speak on The Overnight Open Thread.

Cool Jazz OOT

I was 11 years old when The Beatles came out with I Wanna Hold Your Hand and I was smitten. Then came the Stones, Animals, Beach Boys, Lovin’ Spoonful, The Who, Credence, Led Zep and many more. I’ve been a rock ‘n roll nut from the 60’s and thru the 70’s and 80’s. At any rate, as much as I love classic rock ‘n roll, it’s simply gotten stale for me. Over the past 40+ years I’ve heard just about every song produced by the rock gods hundreds or even thousands of times and I’ve been searching for something new. For the past several years I’ve been spending more or more of my listening time on stations that feature Smooth Jazz. My favorite is “Water Colors” at station 066 on Sirius-XM. In the Smooth/Cool Jazz genre there is everything from blues to funk to salsa and remakes of various classic rock songs. I didn’t want to stuff the channel too early with imbeds, so here is a smooth jazz sampler with just the links. Give ‘em a try. I think you’ll like what you hear.

Acoustic Alchemy – One For Shorty

Rick Braun – Cadillac Slim

Brian Culbertson – Let’s Get Started

Heavy Shift – 90 Degrees in the Shade

Weather Report - Birdland

Mindi Abair – Bloom

Some Enchanted Eefin’

Although Jimmy Riddle was one of the last great Eefers, the Nashville R&B TV show “Night Train” once featured Joe Perkins‘ “Little Eeefin’ Annie.” Jimmy Riddle was the background “eefer,” and Perkins lip synched it.

Here’s how to do it:
