This high school quarterback is 300 lbs!

November 15, 2020 | jnettlebeck

Clocking in at six feet tall, three hundred ten pounds, this high school QB will make you rethink everything you think you know about football.

He is, quite simply, electric.

He needs to be in the NFL someday.

We NEED this.

Plot twist of the century

November 15, 2020 | jnettlebeck

This Tiktok will take you on a roller coaster of emotions.

I promise the end will shock you.

Maybe them getting back together had nothing to do with the baby!

You never know!

I mean I feel like she’d mention that part in the Tiktok but… You know what, never mind.

What stay-at-home advisory means for Chicago attractions

November 15, 2020 | jnettlebeck

The recent surge in positive Coronavirus cases in Illinois has caused a new city wide stay-at-home advisory in Chicago.

It is more of a strong suggestion from city officials, but one that should be listened to.

This however could have. negative impact on the already struggling Chicago attractions.

Wear your mask, don’t go to parties!

Do your part to slow this spread down so we can go back outside eventually!

Dad unfortunatley removes his own eyebrows by mistake

November 14, 2020 | Kevin

 

Listen, to the Dads out there who do not know how to properly apply the rejuvenating facial masks: please ask for help!

Over in Scotland this Dad (or “Dah”) paid the price. He removed his own eyebrows when he did not read the instructions correctly. The video proof sees his kids cackling with laughter at the results.

You can watch it all peel into a disaster here. 

Speaking with the Mirror, he said the following:

“She said everywhere except your eyes, so I put it everywhere except my eyes. How was I to know you weren’t meant to put it on your eyebrows and lips?”

XBox warns players to “not blow vape smoke” into new console.

November 14, 2020 | Eric

Did you get your hands on the new Series X console? Good for you — because it’s nearly impossible to snag the new XBox or Playstation 5, for that matter. In fact, they’ve been going for up to 4X the price on eBay.  Ouch.

If you do have one, it would be my advice to, you know — just play games on it. And not blow vape smoke into it, like many people have been in videos on social media.

Seems these people are copycatting someone that supposedly showed the new gaming console “overheating.” You can see how they are pulling off the effect below.  Clearly fake news, in any language.  — [eric]

Would you send a hotter lookalike to your high school reunion?

November 14, 2020 | Kevin

VICE is known for producing some very interesting documentaries but this one sticks out especially if you did not think you were cool in high school. VICE’s Oobah Butler via his app, Oobah connects people with people who look like them to go do things they just do not want to do. Stephen in Maryland does not want to go back to his high school reunion and this huge project is put together to send a hotter and more sociable ‘Stephen’ in his place.

They cast the lookalike and found a musician to play the role who actually looks like Stephen but certainly has the more ideal look that might impress people who have not seen him in years. It is quite the 22-minute watch and he has to get a big ‘tattoo’ that says ‘CHICKS DIG ME’ on his back before he thrills his classmates as if he is an international touring rock musician and not a dentist. You are rooting for the prank to be pulled off without a hitch but then there is a huge awkward scene that we will not spoil here.

A post shared by tyler jøseph (@tylerrjoseph)

In a video post on Instagram, Twenty One Pilots Tyler Joseph announced he will be presenting a Christmas party themed live-stream via Twitch on December 8th as part of a big Fortnite tournament going on simultaneously. The stream will run three hours, so clikkies prepare to freak out for the holidays and meme it all up.

TOP is working on a new album with their time in quarantine but there is no timetable for when fans can expect to hear any new music. Joseph and drummer  Josh Dun did release one of the best alt songs of this very crappy year ‘

Here is a funky rendition of the song performed on ‘The Tonight Show’ with help from their friends in Mutemath.

 

 

All 50 States Ranked by Their Love of Pickles

November 13, 2020 | Tim Virgin

This might be the most important ranking of the states all year.

For some reason, a career website called Zippia just released the results of a study ranking all 50 states by how much they love pickles.

The rankings are based on things like the states’ cucumber production . . . the number of searches for recipes involving pickles . . . and overall Google searches for pickles.

The 10 states that love pickles the most are:  Maine . . . Vermont . . . North Dakota . . . South Dakota . . . West Virginia . . . Arkansas . . . Minnesota . . . Mississippi . . . Kentucky . . . and Wisconsin.

And the 10 that love pickles the least are:  Hawaii . . . Nevada . . . Florida . . . New Jersey . . . Arizona . . . Maryland . . . South Carolina . . . Connecticut . . . New York . . . and Colorado.

Your Thanksgiving dinner needs more Cheetos

November 13, 2020 | <3 Lauren

We are at the “cooking (and bartending) with Cheetos” part of the 2020 experiment.  They are putting out a holiday cookbook (that has already sold out for now) but you can still get some pretty intense looking recipes HERE to delight/horrify your family this Thanksgiving.

Like the  CHEETOS® Sweet ‘N’ Spicy Chili Meatballs and Five-Alarm CHEETOS® Steak followed by Chester Cheetah’s CHEETOS® Churros (rated four stars!) and wash it all down with a Flamin’ Hot® Limón Mango Jello Shot or even better; the CHEETOS® MOUNTAIN DEW® Mule  because nothing matters anymore so you may as well drink your cheetos and mountain dew at the same time.  <3 Lauren

Xbox has to issue a strange warning to gamers

November 12, 2020 | jnettlebeck

The new gaming consoles are finally here! You should be super excited, but first make sure to read this important safety concern that Xbox has had to put out.

People seem to be putting around false rumors that the new Xbox Series X overheats and starts smoking! Turns out it was just some knuckleheads blowing their fat vape clouds into the system.

Don’t vape on your new toys!

This Year, Make Your Christmas Tree Out of Green Whiskey Bottles

November 12, 2020 | Tim Virgin

This seems like an appropriate Chicago Christmas tree for 2020.

The people at Jameson Irish Whiskey have come up with something called a WHISKEY TREE . . . where instead of buying a Christmas tree, you stack a bunch of green liquor bottles into a pyramid.

You can do it yourself, or win one from them . . . they’re giving away seven trees that are almost nine feet tall and are made entirely of whiskey bottles.

 

(Here’s a picture.)
