What Happened At Your School That You’ll Never Forget

The fact that high school still exists in its current form is a miracle. It’s such an insane environment full of hormones, drama, and learner’s permits that it is hard to believe that we didn’t throw our hands up at the institution long ago. Every high school seems to have one incident that they’ll remember forever. Listen to what this woman had to say.

Plane Forced to Make Emergency Landing Because of a Cat

“Meow” is never a sound you want to hear coming from the inside the cabin. Unfortunately for passengers on a flight from Sudan to Doha (the capital of Qatar, obviously), that’s exactly what they heard. In the midst of the flight, the cat began attacking crew members on the flight. It is believed that the cat had snuck on the plane during overnight maintenance and once they reached a cruising altitude, the cat freaked out.

What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever seen on your flight? Fly on over to our Facebook page and let us know what you saw!

Cockfight Ends Horribly for One Man

In Hyderabad, India, one man met his match with a rooster in an outlaw cockfight. The rooster, who had a three-inch knife tied to its leg, did as roosters do and fluttered and panicked upon being grabbed by the man, thus the blade SLICED HIS GROIN. No one-two combination needed. A razor to the groin is all it takes to put a man down for the count.

Is this the dumbest way anyone has ever died? If you can somehow top getting a razor to the groin in an illegal cockfight, please let us know over on Facebook.

What Would Be the Perfect Business to Match Your Lifestyle?

Seth Rogen, former star of Freaks & Geeks and Knocked Up, among other things, launched a product that he’s very passionate about recently. Houseplant, a cannabis company that has been active in Canada since 2019, is making its way to the shores of the United States on March 11.

The company’s cannabis strains will initially only be available in California via its website and will roll out to select dispensaries across the state later this spring, according to Houseplant representatives. We’re happy for Rogen but we want that good stuff here in Chicago!

He’s made an entire career based on not only being a great actor, but a great actor who loves pot. It’s the perfect fit for him. If you had the funds to start a business that suited your lifestyle, what would it be? Are you already doing it? Let us know! Hit us up on Facebook with the job that would best fit your lifestyle.

Woman Decides to Marry Herself!

We’ve all been down bad before, but it takes a special level of being in the dumps to pull this off. Atlanta’s Meg Taylor Morrison ended her three-and-a-half-year relationship over the summer. Despite entering the new year without a partner, Morrison had always dreamt of a wedding ceremony, so she decided to take matters into her own hands and marry herself. The ceremony cost her over $1,000!

Is this narcissistic or do you respond what she’s doing? Sound off on our Facebook page and let us know what you think.

Today Support Chicago business is BOTTLES UP!

Bottles Up! is a woman-owned bottle shop and experience selling wine, beer, cider, spirits, sake, and some non-alcoholic gems and other goodies (Cheese! Toffee! Chocolate-Covered Wine Bottles!). They try to focus on smaller producers – especially minorities – that don’t have as much exposure in our market, and we rotate our selection weekly so there’s always something new.

Their shop is organized a bit differently than most, in that we use color to indicate the weight, or body, of the wine. What does that mean? Well, think of milk. There’s skim, 1%, 2%, and whole – light body to full body. Different wine varietals can be categorized similarly based on their characteristics. For example, Pinot Noir generally produces light-bodied wines while Zinfandel is full-bodied. Pinot Grigio is generally light, while Chardonnay is full and round.

Attaching color to this weight concept is just our way of communicating things a bit more clearly. Plus, we’ve found it encourages people to try new things. And it’s pretty. #DrinkColorfully

They also offer  Take Home Tastings every Wednesday, special virtual events, and have a pretty cool monthly wine club.

This is just the type of business we love to spotlight on Support Chicago!  So do grab a few bottles of therapy from Melissa and BOTTLES UP!   Support local buisness! – Tim Virgin

Seth Rogen’s Cannabis Brand “Houseplant” Is Coming To The U.S.

Who knew Seth Rogan was so talented in this many ways.  Acting, directing, producing, making killer pottery, and now …. WEED.

“We are finally ready to launch in America,” says Rogen. “What we are doing is bringing you the best strains of weed that have been hand-picked, by that I mean hand-smoked, by me. It’s just the weed that I love that I want to be smoking. We have an orange one for sativa, a purple one for indica, and it even stacks.” Green packaging is the Houseplant hybrid strain. Houseplant even won a Clio award in 2020 for its unique design.

Seth explains more in this post:

Distracted Doctor Does Something You Won’t Believe

The Medical Board of California has its hands full after one doctor multitasked during an operation. Dr. Scott Green in Sacramento, California took advantage of the virtual courtroom provided because of the pandemic and pleaded his case for his traffic violations while a patient sat just off-camera in the midst of a plastic surgery operation.

Are you cool with this? If he got the job done, does it matter that he was also wildly distracted at some point during the operation? Let us know what you think over on our Facebook page.

Ohio State University Starts OnlyFans Seminar

Are you working hard or hardly working? That’s the question to ask yourself if you’ve enrolled in Ohio State University’s OnlyFans seminar, which encourages students to get informed and involved in the world of online sex work as a part of OSU’s Sex Week (designed to promote safe and healthy sexual habits).

We think this is a great idea to get curious students more informed on the world of sex work and how they can possibly make some extra money. We just hope the students are okay with possibly seeing their classmates, um, reveal it all. That sounds like it might be a little awkward.

What Existed 10 Years Ago That No Longer Exists?

We’ve been thinking a lot lately about what a post-pandemic world will look like and what will all be changed. That got us thinking about the last few years and all of the changes that we’ve seen. What’s something that existed 10 years ago that no longer exists now? A lot can happen in a decade. In 2011, we were slowly beginning to climb out of a recession that wreaked havoc on the country. We saw the formation of social media, not as an added perk of the Internet, but as an essential part of our daily existence. Plus, we’ve had an entire decade’s worth of technological collapses since then.

So ask yourself: what’s something that existed 10 years ago that we no longer have? Hit us up on Facebook and let us know what your answer is.

2 Wives, 3 Fiancés, 15 Girlfriends and 1 Stressed Out Man

I’m sure you know people that have lived a double life, but a man in Texas has that beat. Jason Collier of Stinnett, Texas got himself caught in a social media wormhole that exposed the life of debauchery and lying that he had been living. Collier, the police chief in Stinnett, was outed by ONE of his wives on Facebook, leading to a slew of comments by other women about the fact that they were also in relationships and had children with this man.

This father of four now finds himself behind bars and with no woman to care for him. What’s the best story you know of someone living a double life? Sound off on our Facebook page.

Residents of Homewood are heated over the Village of Homewood’s Director of Economic and Community Development and her remarks at a recent community meeting. The Director referred to citizens of the area “assh*oles” and constantly bashed the community. Audio of the incident can be heard here.

38% of Americans Would Give Up Sex for a Year for This Reason

As we quickly head towards one year in a pandemic, more and more Americans are starting to feel the itch to travel. So much so that according to a recent poll, 38% of Americans said that would give up sex for a year to travel immediately. Many of the polls participants said they would have no issue giving up their job if they were presented with a safe way of traveling right now. If the 38% seems high, it should also be noted that 40% of Brits were on board with this idea.

Come on, be honest: would you give it up for a year to travel peacefully? 365 days with no intimate physical touch but you can pack your bags this afternoon and leave tonight for wherever it is that your heart desires. Let us know on Facebook what you think.

Farts Are Still Funny

In case you weren’t sure, farts are still funny. The pandemic has changed a lot of things, the world as we know it is always evolving, and Tom Brady won a Super Bowl with the Buccaneers. It’s a strange time, okay? We can all find solace in the fact that farts and the reactions they cause are still funny.

Some people might find this to be a mean video but that brother is just preparing his little sister for the rest of her life.

This NBA Player Has Never Heard an Irish Accent Before

Anthony Edwards, who was the first pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, is slowly starting to make a name for himself as a fearless player who will drive inside and take it to the rim with confidence. Thankfully he chose basketball over some global studies option because this man was dumbfounded by a reporter’s Irish accent recently.

The best part of this, without question, is the fact that the Irish reporter never skips a beat when he’s asked to repeat this question. Yep, okay, been here before and I’ll be here again. He just moves right along and goes back to saying what he had just said because Edwards was so taken aback by his accent.
