You’ve probably seen people throw empty beer cups at players that suck at sporting events before, maybe a even a hotdog. But how in the world someone got a full fish in the stadium and then decided to throw it at the perfect moment to smack a player right in the face… that’s planned! That’s assault!

Imagine enjoying a nice afternoon at the waterpark when BOOM! The pool starts to suck you and everything in it way down. That happened to these folks. I always knew you should stay away from the drain but I didn’t think that this could happen!

Spread the word!
However, we aren’t done with our work here. After reading my morning e-mail from The Hustle, there apparently are only 13 states that have put in place funding to support this initiative — and that does NOT include Illinois. So — lean on your lawmakers! Let’s get this changed!
Does he belong to the streets?! He refuses to call his girlfriend his… girlfriend.
My boyfriend calls me his lady friend and refuses to call me his girlfriend in public. He thinks it makes him sound like a simp when he calls me his girlfriend. I feel like when he calls me lady friend that it makes me sound like a floozy and not someone he loves. Does he belong to me to the streets for calling me his lady friend? By the way he’s 31 not some old man. Ahoy!

Oopsies! A Cameraman at the Track and Field World Championships was so busy watching everyone else he forgot to watch where he was going! He stood in the middle of Lane 2 with his back to the front runners. The athletes had to didge him and probably lost some serious time because of it!

A brave Domino’s Pizza delivery driver in LaFayette, Indiana was driving by a home around 12:30 on Monday, and saw that it was engulfed in flames. He called 911, got out of his car, and ran into the house to rescue 4 sleeping kids. He alerted the three who were able to make it out on their own. Then he went back in to grab the last child and jumped out of a window with her. He suffered smoke inhalation and is now in the hospital. All of the kids are going to be fine thanks to him!
A man at the All-star game couldn’t help himself and pushed a bunch of little kids to try to get a baseball autograph. Not exactly hero material or the look the MLB wants. You can see him voicing his displeasure at the kid who pushes him back!
