Okay, maybe all of this snow isn’t such a bad thing. At least one resident made the most of it as he was towed through the city’s streets on a snowboard.
What’s the craziest thing you’ve done in the snow? Can it top this? As far as we know, this man didn’t suffer any injuries which is super impressive. Let us know on Facebook.
Another cancellation. St. Patrick Day parades have been canceled for the second year in a row due to coronavirus.
The Downtown and South Side parades are typically held in mid-March to honor the city’s large Irish American population for St. Patrick’s Day are not happening this year.
Ald. Brian Hopkins (2nd) told the Sun-Times that City Hall won’t issue permits for parades or large gatherings during the first quarter of the year due to the pandemic, meaning the parades are canceled. Organizers of the South Side Irish Parade are trying to think of other ways to celebrate, they told the Sun-Times.

Are you stressed out? … Anxiety getting to you? Well, why don’t you try out the newest white noise playlist made by … LEGOS!
LEGO is officially a music artist. LEGO’s entire mix is made up of the sounds of LEGO bricks. In a press statement, they explained that “Each LEGO element makes a unique noise, which is why designers experimented with over 10,000 in their quest for the perfect soothing sounds”.
There are seven 30-minute tracks on the “White Noise” playlist, and each showcases a different sound made by the toys. It’s kind of relaxing. Try it out!
I have been worried about some of my neighbor’s roofs after the enormous amount of snowfall we had this weekend, some of them seem to be visibly weighed down and real damage can occur from the heavy weight. Just like what happened to our beloved Aragon Ballroom at about 7:45 this morning. Heavy snow on the roof made an exterior wall give way and collapse onto the red line tracks and alley below, taking out an outdoor staircase with it. The good news is no one was hurt.

The good news is I am not going to tell you another music festival is being cancelled ie: Coachella and Stagecoach, the bad news is Summerfest, typically held over 11 days in Milwaukee June and July, has been postponed to September… more from Rolling Stone HERE.
“festival organizers announced that Summerfest will not be held in June and July for the second year in a row. Instead, it’s moving its 2021 celebration to September 2nd through 18th “to give health professionals more time to vaccinate the general public.”
“While the progress made through the vaccine rollout is encouraging, we believe it is in the public’s best interest to hold the festival in September to give government leaders and healthcare organizations enough time to distribute the vaccine,” said Don Smiley, President & Chief Executive Officer of Milwaukee World Festival, Inc. “We will continue to work diligently with civic officials and healthcare professionals as we prepare to welcome artists, fans, employees, vendors and sponsorship partners this summer. Our team is excited to get back to what we do best, as soon as possible.”
Hope this doesn’t cause me any Riot Fest conflicts… Are you planning on hitting up any festivals this year?
Tweet me about it: <3 Lauren

We knew it would happen eventually, but we didn’t expect our youngest generation to be entirely computer-dependent at this point. According a theater teacher, though, this has already happened. Watch when he explains this very basic situation to his kids, only for them to be left dumbfounded.
What simple thing from your youth are kids going to miss out on because of technology? Sound off on Facebook and let us know.
Okay, maybe the pop star didn’t directly reach out to Disturbed for a collaboration, but that didn’t stop this man from heading into his music laboratory and mixing the two elements together.
@mrprofessor318Thank you to Oneboredjeu for this sound! Check the comments for the YT link! #fyp #featuremeeee #mashup #edsheeran #disturbed #rock #pop #BeGreat
You know what, this doesn’t sound too bad. We can get down with his sickness. Props to this man for not being afraid to experiment.
A man in Florida was arrested over the weekend for possession of heroin after he was pulled over near his home. When confronted with the drug, the perpetrator simply noted that it was a chocolate Laxative, as heroin can look someone like chocolate (I hear it can be almost as addictive, too). The officer booked him not only for the heroin, but for a number of other drug-related charges based on what was found in the vehicle.

Are we really sure 2021 is going to be better than 2020? As of this week, Netflix and one other major studio have penned the rights to get a movie made about this developing news story. Finance bros invading the silver screen is bound to happen every so often, but there is a special alpha brain feeling that I get when I think about a movie based on the GameStop stock scandal of 2021. If you thought the guys from Entourage were too classy, this is going to be the movie for you.
The most interesting part about this project is going to be which brave Hollywood actor will eat himself silly to put on weight to become a real life Redditor. We salute whoever decides to fall on that sword.

The world’s richest, and subsequently most annoying man, is at it again. Musk was shouting into the void on a private social media app, Clubhouse, when he noted that he has a monkey that he can play video games with. He called it a “FitBit for the skull” and noted that they monkey can’t do it unless he’s totally happy.
Obviously this man is built different, but we didn’t expect monkey mind control to be on the list of things he could do.
It raises the question though, what’s the weirdest thing that you’ve seen, that no one else has seen? What’s your “you had to be there!” moment? Let us know on Facebook.
We’ve got trouble in paradise on this week’s Relationship Court.
Unfortunately, we’ve probably all been in this situation or know someone that’s been in this situation before. What’s the best way to go about this? Interact with us on Facebook and let us know.

Well, it wasn’t as weird as what Kanye did last year, but it’s still objectively weird that as the closing credits of Saturday Night Live were rolling over the weekend, musical guest Machine Gun Kelly decided that he would pick up Pete Davidson. Why MGK decided to hoist up the BDE King, we don’t know. What we do know, however, is that they lost their balance and the Ohio-born rapper sent Davidson flying off the stage.

— SNL Stats (@snlstats) January 31, 2021
This is not the first time MGK has gotten physical, as he was once powerbombed off the stage of WWE’s Raw. Perhaps the rapper was staking his claim as the #1 contender for Davidson’s BDE Heavyweight Title? We have no idea why this happened, but it is certainly one of the most interesting things to happen on SNL this season.
You probably clicked on this link thinking that it was going to be a video of a young red-headed boy getting into a fight and because we’re mean, we called him Chucky. You would be mistaken. This is a story about an actual real life Chucky attacking people on the subway in New York City.

It’s not that we want to promote violence, but any rational person understands that curb stomping is the only answer possible in a situation like this. We must, to preserve the fabric of our nation, curb stomp any Chucky subway invaders. It’s our only hope.
This man’s dance put us in a trance. We would have to say that unless you’re a heavyweight boxer training for a title fight, jumping rope is a pretty useless skill. This man, however, is brilliant at it.

What skill do you have that is a complete waste of time but is relatively impressive? Let us know on Facebook!
Um, this is absolutely not okay.
How would you handle this situation? Vacuum? Flamethrower? Burn the whole house down, ditch your ID, and start a new life in a remote village somewhere? There are no good answers when faced with evil this pure and unapologetic.
As if this Robinhood war wasn’t weird enough already, it took a more aggressive turn over the weekend with the use of aerial combat.
When i die just put this video of a banner that says "SUCK MY NUTS ROBINHOOD" being flown over their HQ on my gravestone #SuckMyNutsRobinhood pic.twitter.com/oN82HI3NNp

As you can see from the tweet above, someone flew a profanity-laced banner over the Robinhood headquarters, which is objectively the coolest thing that’s ever been done. Is this the ultimate act of spite? Have you done something like this just to be petty? Interact with us on Facebook at let us know.
