A huge house party is going down while a guy is sleeping, or trying to at least, in the next room. Something tells me he won’t stay asleep with the floor caving in across the hall and plenty of people screaming afterwards. This.is.insane. Watch at your own risk.
After some careful calculations, 24/7 Wall St put together a list of the 30 Best College Towns in America and three from Illinois are on the list.

Hundreds of Aussies flocked to New South Wales over the weekend to show off their beautiful heads of hair. They competed in categories such as grubby, vintage, and extreme! Here are some highlights… if you want to call them that!
The president of the Ukraine played the president on TV before he was elected. Volodymyr Zelenskyy has done many things on TV to get the crowd going, he’s a brave man! In this clip he’s showing off his talent, tickling the keys if you will, with his… ahem, little friend. Watch it for yourself!
Cyber security is a big deal right now and there is an article that shares the 20 most common passwords found on the dark web due to data breaches. Going through it looks like every word you would try if you were trying to guess someone’ password… Any of these look familiar to you? <3 Lauren
Tip: “If you use any of the above passwords for any of your online accounts, you’d be wise to swap them out for something more secure. Cybersecurity experts often recommend picking something longer than the minimum number of recommended characters, and using uncommon characters – like punctuation marks or other symbols – in place of letters and numbers, to make your password harder to guess.”
Liberty college baseball is ranked 21 in the nation and off to a 2-1 start. But that’s not why they’re making headlines. They also got new jerseys. In this extremely well produced unveil video, they’re showing off their new threads, while making the ladies swoon. You’ll watch this masterpiece over and over.
If you have a flat backside, you probably already know. This woman was minding her own business when her roommate had to remind her of her trucker butt. Emotional Damage! It’s ok lady, you’re perfect the way you are! But, squats can remedy the situation… so I’ve heard.
These boys decided to mess with pops a little bit, OK a lot, for his first time at Starbucks. Everyone knows you can make your Starbucks order as simple or as crazy sounding as you like, so Dad probably thought this was par for the course. Unfortunately for him, there is no such thing as a “fratte mo-taytay.” The woman at the dive-thru is incredibly patient during this ordering debacle.
This man is not a soldier, but he’s definitely a hero! He’s removing a landmine from underneath a bridge in this video, but he’s still not going to let the Russians stop him from living his normal life, hence the cigarette in his mouth. Maybe not the safest choice to be doing while removing explosives, but screw it, there are plenty more to be taken away! Plus it probably helps with the nerves right?
Some guys found out that kids eat for free at IHOP. Being serious penny pinchers and mischievous adults, they decided to try something, and it worked: dress up like a baby. What could go wrong?!

Some good suggestions for movie watching over this long holiday weekend? — [eric]
Tim McIlrath of Rise Against is featured on a new track from AWOLNATION. Which is actually — an old track reworked.
Check it out. Not only is it unique from an audio standpoint, but the visuals that go along with this cover of Midnight Oil’s “Beds Are Burning” put a unique stamp on an important song in The History of Alternative.
My Echo, My Shadow, My Covers & Me from AWOLNATION acted as therapy for Aaron Bruno through the pandemic. The cover album will be out on May 6th.
Dave talks about his book, Studio 666, and does it all while eating wingey. Davey like wingey. A true gentleman, he brought the cocktails since they supplied the chicken. Enjoy this deliciously hot interview.
This news story is the definition of bad timing. One of the most important stories that will happen this year was breaking when they cut to commercial… for Applebee’s? People watching are nervous and want information, now! We understand they have to pay the bills, but the public are definitely not interested in chicken at the moment! It puts a bad taste in your mouth…
Watch this high school basketball player shoot a three, then do this spectacular move. Some people have all the talent. This guy has his own one man celebration on the court and it’s awesome. Check it out!
This expecting mom recorded her man’s reaction when she showed him the picture of the of the THREE babies they were going to have. She doesn’t tell him right away and let’s him process it on his own, because let’s face it, it’s a lot! He’s obviously over the moon and hopefully this is one of the sweetest things you will see today!
Wheel of Fortune contestant Tenaya had a rough go when she had to solve the puzzle. And using the word “solve” is generous because it was almost all filled in for her and she still got it wrong. “_urrassic park _o_ies” is missing three letters. Here’s her answer-
