For the 25th anniversary of the legendary ‘Happy Gilmore’ movie, Adam Sandler took to the fairways and blasted a ball as only he could.
Happy loves you all! Thanks for everything! pic.twitter.com/p1aY9JcFWh

Sandler, who is worth more money than we could ever dream of, still dresses like…that. It’s humbling in a way. Head on over to our Facebook page and hit us with your favorite ‘Happy Gilmore’ GIF to celebrate this glorious occasion.
People do weird things when it snows out. Some strap on their cross country skies and head down Addison, while others simply grab on to the bumper of the nearest car and do a little skitching. These people are amateurs. True winter champions replace the tires on their bike with circular saw blades and pedal around a frozen lake. See for yourself below, and get ready to trade in that Peloton because here is the bike of your dreams….or your nightmares possibly/probably.
Here’s a minor inconvenience that might be driving you nuts. Does your phone ever auto-correct the F-word to the word “DUCK”? A lot of phones do it. But there are two easy ways around it . . .
Someone on Instagram said they got around it by adding a new contact to their address book . . . and typing the F-word into the name field.
They gave it a first and last name . . . “[Effing] [Eff]” . . . so it would also stop auto-correcting to the word “ducking.” So that’s one way to do it. But there’s another way that also works on most phones.
On an iPhone, just go to Settings . . . General . . . and find your Keyboard settings. Then click on “Text Replacement.”
It’s a feature that lets you create shortcuts. Like if you type, “OMW” it’ll change it to “On my way.” But for this, enter the F-word as the shortcut AND the full phrase.
Android phones can do it too. Just go to Settings . . . Language & Input . . . and find a feature called “Personal Dictionary.”

(If your iPhone has the newest version of iOS, you might not need to do anything. They apparently fixed it, but not all iPhones support the newest version.)
Today we shine the Support Chicago Local business Spotlight on Perma-Seal in Burr Ridge.
They are a small family-owned waterproofing, foundation repair, and concrete raising & leveling business serving Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana since 1979. Our purpose is to Make the World a Better Place by creating dry basements and crawlspaces, stable foundations and healthy spaces
Perma-Seal Basement Systems is a locally-owned, family-operated business that was started through humble beginnings in 1979. After answering an ad in the newspaper for a manager trainee, Roy was told to “manage this” by being handed a shovel. He rose to the challenge and was promoted to production manager. However, after working for several local waterproofing companies, he was unhappy with the “patch ‘em now, service ‘em later” business approach. He decided to branch off on his own and build his own company, alongside his red, pickup truck.
Their focus continues to be centered around their clients and providing a superior customer experience through honest, ethical, high-quality work, completed by a business of integrity, and backed up by a solid warranty

Been hoping for a cheap chance to check out the Shedd? Your…bait…is over.
If you are a resident of the Land of Lincoln, you can take advantage of the upcoming Illinois Resident Free Days at the Shedd Aquarium to wrap up the month. They run Monday, February 22nd – Friday, February 26th.
(Well, it’s ALMOST free. You have to snag your tickets in advance and there is a $3-per-order transaction free. But still….not a bad price for all those fishies).

Miranda has an issue and it’s with her boyfriend’s face. Specifically, his lack of facial hair thanks to his new job. We’ll let her explain.
Is she a complete lunatic or are her actions justified? Sound off on our Facebook page and let us know!
A couple at Bucktown’s Club Lucky left a monstrous tip on Valentine’s Day. Server Eddie Cruz was cleaning up their table when he glanced down at the receipt and did a double-take. The couple had left a $2,000 tip.
The couple had wished to remain anonymous but Club Lucky staff noted that they come to the restaurant every year on Valentine’s Day and prefer to sit in the same spot, as their first date was there 20 years ago. They returned the favor in a big way this year. Do you have a romantic story like this? Let us know on Facebook.
Perhaps, as a country, we’ve been ignorant to just how complicated the concept of baseball is. This German man helped put things in perspective for just how complicated of a game it is.
Alright, maybe he raises a few valid points. When the world opens back up, we volunteer to take this man to Wrigley or Guaranteed Rate for an afternoon at the ballpark. I’m sure he’d learn a lot from Brian’s mansplaining.
Valentine’s Day is the time of the year to spread love and affection, but in the case of a few lucky souls, it is a time when all of their mischievous deeds can catch up to them. It did for this man, who got hit with receipts by his lady.
@gr93laWhat did you gets get your man for Valentine’s Day ?😁 #fyp #valentinesday #messytiktok #couplegoals #crazy #fypシ
@gr93laI have a sense of humor with my man! I don’t know about y’all but I thought this was the perfect gift 🤣 He loved it 😘 #gorgeousgirls #fyp #joke
It must really hurt being exposed by that. Have you ever pranked someone or been pranked yourself on Valentine’s Day? Shoot your arrow over on our Facebook and let us know what went down.
Whatever you’re expecting, this video is going to surpass your expectations. Dickinson, North Dakota is the location, ramen noodles are the victim.
This is polar vortex levels of crazy. What have you done in the cold that has blown your mind? Sound off on Facebook and let us know.
A Florida woman by the name of Lorraine Grohs wants an apology from Tom Brady. For the past two decades, most of America has wanted Tom Brady to apologize for existing, but Grohs has a very specific reason for why she wants the seven-time Super Bowl champ to say he’s sorry, “I have a big history of this trophy being made by my father and it’s such an honor, and I know all the craftsmen that made it when my dad was there, also at Tiffany’s and it takes a lot of work, a lot hard work – a lot of hours go into it…It really upset me that this trophy was disgraced and disrespected by being thrown as if it was a real football.”
In case you missed it, Tom Brady got super drunk and subsequently super cool when he launched the Lombardi trophy from yacht-to-boat during the Bucs celebration.
This “Karen” says she hasn’t slept in TWO NIGHTS because of the objectively cool thing that Brady did during the celebration.
Oh well, Karen’s are going to Karen.
Cracking open an energy drink to start the day — or just keep that day going? This might make you think twice.
One of the first long-term studies of the beverages looking to find causational links to health problems was conducted. They claim some shocking results:
“After controlling for parental mental health, illicit drug use, dietary patterns, family income, parental alcohol consumption and cigarette use, BMI, physical activity and other factors, the researchers found that changes in energy drink consumption were positively associated with increased stress scores and, in young adult males, depression and anxiety.”

Happy Valentine’s Day. It’s an amazing feeling to have found “the one,” is it not? Just do the world a favor, though. If you ever feel compelled to hang a “love lock” as a symbol of your relationship’s permanence….just…don’t. It would likely be one of the most ironic moves you can make.
At one of the hottest spots for couples to commemorate their union — a small pedestrian bridge in Prague (VIDEO BELOW) — crews regular come through with bolt cutters and snap the symbols right off. And for good reason. Worldwide, these historical structures are falling apart, under the weight of the heavy metal.
Feel free to watch. Maybe you’re a bit bitter today and will revel in the destruction. Or maybe you and your person will realize a $10 padlock isn’t the best way to commemorate your thing. It’s just gonna get cut off anyways. — [eric]

Are you sick of sending “ducking” to all of your friends instead of a glorious f-bomb? We finally have a way to get around the dreaded censors that the tech overlords have placed on us.

Simply change a name in your contacts to F*cking F*ck and your problems will disappear. Your phone will recognize this as valid language and won’t try to do a last minute switch on you. This is brilliant.
It’s never easy being 12-years-old. It’s especially difficult when you decide to chomp down on 54 magnets to see if you’ll then become magnetic. Spoiler: it did not work. His mom persisted with the doctors that the boy was really into science and was simply doing some amateur experimentation, but the only record we have of the boy doing anything scientific with this was the fact that he tried to stick copper to his belly. Not exactly an Einstein descendant.
Is this the weirdest thing you’ve ever seen someone eat? Do you have him beat? Let us know over on Facebook.
You may think it’s tacky, but according to doctors, wearing socks to bed can help you fall asleep. We’ll let this TikTok explain.
@doctorjesssI wear socks to bed so don’t come at me im not weird
We can’t argue with the doctor. Wrap those footsies up and drift off into never, never land, because this is how your body was meant to sleep. If you feel like you CAN’T do this because you hate sleeping with socks so much, tell us how you feel over on our Facebook page.
