Museums are fighting over who has the creepiest exhibit

April 22, 2020 | jnettlebeck

Since all museums are closed due to all of the lockdown restrictions throughout the world some are taking to twitter to keep themselves occupied.

Places like the Shedd Aquarium have their penguins roam around the empty halls, while others… um

Yeah that’s right, museums are fighting over who has the creepiest exhibit. Needless to say they all have nightmare fuel on deck to share with the world.

Really makes you think about the plot of Night at the Museum huh?

There is nothing quiet like going for a dip in the pool on a hot summer day.

These cows took full advantage of that when they stumbled upon someones personal backyard pool.

GoldenHIGH: Watch a very 420 review of James Bond

April 20, 2020 | Kevin

As it is 420 and it’s now lega in IL, some marijuana content was bound to hit the web today on this high holiday which is where Comedy Central comes in with this hilarious Dope Movie recap of the 90s action gem ‘Goldeneye’. Comedian Clayton English riffs with some NSFW language (which since most of us are working from home, should be just fine) and delivers some truly enlightening points on this movie.

The best thing to come out of Goldeneye was definitely the Nintendo 64 video game.

Happy 4/20! How are you celebrating??

Last night’s two-hour One World: Together At Home concert gave America over eight hours of music to enjoy at home — and here are some of the highlights.  One of particular note was Brandon Flowers and Ronnie Vannucci taking on The Killer’s signature song — “Mr. Brightside.”   — [eric]

Open up your window! Local comedian takes over courtyard

Laughter in Place

Posted by Amy Nico Schwartz on Saturday, April 18, 2020

Local comedian Amy Nico Schwartz understand we all need to get something to laugh at in these tough times, so she bootlegged together a live streaming solo stand up comedy show for her apartment building, Amy took over the courtyard with two cameras and set up a mic with everyone opening your windows to watch below with everyone together even though the whole crowd could not sit together. The whole was given the clever title of ‘Laughter in Place’.

You can watch the must-see hilarious set where she joked the show was “sold out” because everyone was legally forced to be at home. The stand up starts at the 21 minute mark.

101WKQX is streaming special Quarantine Concerts 12pm and 8pm everyday with the biggest names in alternative music performing exclusive sessions in the Lounge.

 

 

Masturbating man interrupts official Indiana meeting.

April 18, 2020 | Eric

A meeting of the Indiana Election Commission on Zoom temporarily became an erection meeting this week because of another cyber-security breach.

State officials were interrupted by video of a man pleasuring himself for sixty agonizing (or pleasurable, depending on your point of view) seconds before they were able to kick the perpetrator out.  “That was sufficiently disturbing,” the commission chairman was quoted in this news article.  And that quote absolutely made my day.

“Zoombombing” is a real thing, folks.  And with many of us conducting business this way currently, it might be a good idea to review ways to ensure your meeting stays rated PG — and not XXX.  — [eric]

PIQNIQ 2020 update

April 17, 2020 | JVO

We have made the difficult decision to not move forward with PIQNIQ 2020. We feel this is the only move to ensure the health and safety of attendees, artists and staff.

Due to the ever-changing schedules of these 10 bands we are unable to reschedule this year, but will be back (better than ever) in 2021.

Stay safe!

All purchased tickets will be refunded at point of purchase. Thank you for your understanding.
