When Wendy’s roasts your favorite band
Wendy’s twitter is nothing short of magical. You can always count on a sassy remark from their account. On ‘Roast Day’ they went after everyone, and people were beggin’ for it, just like their Frostys! No band, label or even store for that matter were spared. “Which came first, Hot Topic or the poser” – genius!
Customer reveals not all tip percentages may be correct at pay machines
A customer at a popular restaurant noticed something about the tip calculator at the table pay machine- it was wrong. Every option of percentage of the actual total bill was off. Now, I’m not a mathematician, so if it looked right, I’d just pay it. But why? Was it because they’re accounting for the tax that the servers have to pay on their tips at the end of the night? Is it just a little kickback for the restaurant? Whatever the case may be, it sets a bad precedent because people might tip less since they don’t trust the system, thus affecting a server’s ultimate take home.
Say ‘high’ to the Louisiana Democrat running for Senate
Senate candidate Gary Chambers Jr. said, “Every 37 seconds, someone is arrested for possession of marijuana.” He went on to say that “States waste $3.7 billion enforcing marijuana laws every year. Most of the people police are arresting aren’t dealers but rather people with small amounts of pot, just like me.” During this clip, Chambers can be seen smoking weed. He hopes this will lead to a pathway towards legalization. He’s got my vote!

Bridezilla strikes again!
A woman went to a bridal salon to get her deposit of $500 back and the store refused to return it for some reason. Instead of trying to speak to the owner or a manager, she dealt with it in her own way. The soon-to-be bride was so irritated that she snapped and started cutting brand new dresses in the salon with scissors while the store clerk was filming her telling her how much the dresses cost. After several minutes of meltdown, the woman put down her weapon of dress destruction and left. In total, she cause about $11,000 worth of damage. That’s a lot more than $500 if I did my math right. Isn’t getting married FUN?!
“Crazy Train” just got adorable. Watch this kitty sing along!
This kitty was spot on! I just love that fact that it’s singing into a microphone; most cats won’t do anything you want them to. What a good cat, the Princess of Darkness.
But please let’s not forget about this one that sounds like David Draiman…
The SNL reboot of Urkel nails it!
The Fresh Prince has a real reboot on Peacock that’s dramatic. SNL ran with that idea and created a “new version” of Family Matters and the best character in it- Urkel. I never knew Steve could be such a badass. Check it out.
Winter got you stuffed up? Here’s an easy fix!
Winter got you stuffed up? Most people get congested this time of year. Here are some quick ways from Dr. Mandell to clear that nasal passage in seconds using this technique, watch! It “opens up the eustachian tubes, increases sinus drainage, and opens the nasal passages in seconds” -whatever that means. It works though, try it.
Man jumps in THIS to get his phone
People pay WAY too much for phones, so when you lose it, you’re willing to do anything get it back immediately. Like reach into a toilet? What if you dropped it in a sewer like this guy… Hold your stomach if you already ate breakfast this morning! I love the person trying to help yelling, “I’ll call it again!” This man deserves a medal for jumping in something nasty like that!
Granny covers “What’s My Age Again,” challenges Travis Barker to drum-off
Dorothea Taylor, the “Godmother Of Drumming,” has taken on one of blink-182’s most famous songs — and has done so very well, as you can see below.
The 70-something year old has taken on other bands you know — but this cover is a little different. Mostly because she issued a challenge to Travis Barker:
“You’re never too old, and you’re never too young, to start playing drums,” Dorothea continues in the video. “You probably never would have expected someone like me to play along to blink. I’ve learned my rudiments over the years and was able to incorporate and understand what Travis was playing. So, Travis Barker, are you watching? How about a drum battle?!”
— Dorothea Taylor
Well, Travis? We’re waiting!

Illinois collected nearly $388 million in taxes on recreational cannabis sales in the state, according to the Marijuana Policy Project.
That would put the Land of Lincoln in the top 3 of the 11 states reported on for 2021.
