Axl and Slash of GN’R gifts Dave Grohl with Guitar

January 8, 2021 | Tim Virgin

Guns n’ Roses borrowed Dave Grohl‘s rock throne after Axl Rose broke his foot when the reunited group was about to tour in 2016. And Grohl says he got a great guitar as a thank-you.

Grohl had the throne built-in 2015 so he could still do Foo Fighters shows after breaking his leg in Sweden, and he tells Classic Rock, “So Axl took it out with Guns n’ Roses, then he took it out with AC/DC, and then all of a sudden I became the guy you come to if you break a limb on tour, like Thrones R Us.”

After the throne was returned, Axl wanted to give Grohl a very special thank-you gift. “He had Slash go pick me a guitar. And he picked me an early-’60s Gibson ES 335 Dot, which to this day is the nicest guitar I have ever played in my life. It was an incredibly kind and classy gesture, and I was very appreciative.”

Packers fan shotguns beer right after finishing chemotherapy

January 7, 2021 | jnettlebeck

Now, I know this guy is rocking an Aaron Rodgers jersey, which is just terrible, but I think all us Bears fans can agree that this is awesome.

This guy finished chemotherapy, beat cancer, and celebrated by shotgunning a beer!

This might be the best celebration ever.

Congrats to this guy!

And Bear Down!!!

Man casually licks a dirty boot on a train during global pandemic

January 7, 2021 | jnettlebeck

This is a video you could probably have gone your entire life without seeing.

But you’re here, so why not stay around awhile!

Now we don’t know the full story here, maybe there is a reason for this guy to be licking an old dirty boot on a train during a global pandemic.

But realistically there isn’t!

And that is really the beauty of life.

Happy Friday!

Relationships in 2021 are really complex

January 7, 2021 | jnettlebeck

Remember the days when people used to just meet each other out in the real world, go on dates, get into relationships…

Well it’s 2021. We have online dating. People don’t even have to really ever meet each other.

Check out this “relationship” for example.

Four men arrested for an attempted break in at Dr. Dre’s house

January 6, 2021 | jnettlebeck

Way to kick someone while they’re down…

Four men tried to break into Dr Dre’s house while he is being hospitalized for a brain aneurysm.

Not only should they get charged with attempted breaking and entering, but they should also get another charge stacked on top for just being plain jerks!

Come on, how could you do a guy like this!

Have You Considered Eating Your Christmas Tree?

January 6, 2021 | Tim Virgin

If your Christmas tree is still sitting in your house, here’s an option instead of dragging it out to the curb:  Serve it for dinner.

There’s a new cookbook out from a, quote, “artisan baker and cook” in the U.K. named Julia Georgallis called “How to Eat Your Christmas Tree”.  And it features dozens of recipes you can make using your tree.

For example, Christmas-Cured Fish uses almost a pound of needles for decoration and flavoring.  With Christmas Tree Pickles, you throw a handful of needles into a jar with your pickles for a month.

There’s even ICE CREAM flavored with blue spruce needles and ginger.

Julia says she created the book so people would get better use out of their trees . . . rather than chopping down 30 million trees every year and then throwing them away.

Plus, quote, “I don’t know why it’s so weird because we eat and we forage so many [other] plants.”

This guy singing MCR at a wedding will make your day

January 5, 2021 | jnettlebeck

Who hurt this man so bad that he had to do a full on cover of MCR at a wedding!?!?!

A wedding does seem like a strange place to be belting out some emo rock, but hey people celebrate differently.

You know what, he killed it. Get this man a record deal ASAP!

 

This is how they save people on ski lifts

January 5, 2021 | jnettlebeck

You know those movies where firefighters save people from burning buildings by having them jump onto a giant tarp that they hold.

Well those actually exist and people actually use them to rescue people!

This is how they save people who are stuck high up on a ski lift!!

I always thought there would be a more modern approach to this. Like a ladder or something.

But you know what, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it!

Delivery driver tries to take back food after receiving a bad tip!

January 5, 2021 | jnettlebeck

Tipping is such a weird thing.

I wish they would just always include gratuity in the check, I hate having to do quick math!

Plus let’s say the person you’re tipping isn’t happy with what they gave you! This could happen!

Definitely tip people, but also if you’re delivering something you don’t get to take the item back!

That’s just crazy!
