Don’t do this to stay healthy

As COVID-19 spreads throughout the world, so does fear. So these parents are taking extra precautions to try and stay healthy.

However, some of their practices are really… interesting.

Now that is a hazmat suit!

It’s a little holy, and her nose is exposed, but at least her heart is in it!

Make sure to wash your hands and wipe down your kids.

You Can Get Paid $1,000 to Watch March Madness

It’s time to get paid to watch March Madness.  And not the usual way you get paid to watch:  Watching basketball when you’re technically on the clock at work.

CableTV.com is offering to pay someone $1,000 to sit around watching March Madness this year.  You’ll need to watch 40 hours of games and post about it on social media, but hey, you’re getting paid to watch basketball.

If you’re interested, applications are due tomorrow night.

What happened to this rooster?

This rooster will surely wake you up in the morning. No doubt.

He could also be a tornado siren, or maybe a broken fire alarm.

He reminds me of those rubber chicken videos that went viral a few years back.

I’m sure the rooster is fine, but I’m no rooster expert so don’t quote me on that.

This grandma is sick of it on her 94th birthday

94 years is definitely something to celebrate unless you’re this grandma.

Grandma has had enough!

She doesn’t care if it’s her birthday! She just wants to go take a nap and watch her shows.

This is either the funniest grandmother out there, or this is just a super depressing video.

I’m praying it’s that first option.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GRANDMA!!!

The darkest children’s TV episode ever

Prepare yourself for the darkest children’s TV show ever.

In the early days of Thomas the Tank Engine, a lying train named Henry was forced to pay the ultimate price for his transgressions. He was essentially buried alive, forced to live out his last days watching helplessly as well-behaving trains zipped by with big smiles plastered onto their smug train faces.

Imagine the horror when Henry was told, “We shall take away your rails and leave you here for always and always and always.” That’s when the “Fat Controller” and his minions built a brick wall to entomb Henry in a tunnel. Shortly thereafter, “his fire had gone out.” And then, the narration: “I think he deserved his punishment… don’t you?” Um, nope. Holy crap. NOPE.

This episode has everything. Pathos. Drama. Suspense. The promise of terrifying children into correcting bad behavior. Check it out:

Road rage never pays

Here is a case of instant karma at its best.

This jerk had a case of road rage and decided to shout at another car on the highway.

Little did he know, there were other cars on the road!

I just feel bad for the innocent person who was just sitting there.

At least there’s a video for that insurance $$$$moneyyyyyyy$$$$.

Costco samples are no more

It is a sad day for humankind.

What kind of world is it where a person can’t walk into a Costco and fill up entirely on samples.

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO ON WEDNESDAY NIGHTS NOW!?!?!?!

Because of fears over the spread of coronavirus, Costco will be suspending their free samples until further notice.

😭😷Just got word, one of our followers is a sample person for CDS which is Costco’s vendor who does all the food samples and looks like they will not be serving samples for the foreseeable future. Not sure if this is immediate and will effect all stores or will be a store by store basis. . 😍The good side is that Costco is allowing CDS workers to work at the warehouses in various other capacities until samples start up again!! This was inevitable with the #coronavirus picking up steam in the US + the recent crazy crowds at Costco stores! #washyourhands #costcodeals #costcosamples #costco . 🙌If anyone can confirm that it’s a nationwide or worldwide sample suspension, DM or let us know in the comments below!

A post shared by COSTCO DEALS (@costcodeals) on

There is no word on if the samples will come back, all we know is if you head into your local Costco… no samples.

On the bright side, this could be Sams Club’s time to shine.

Matchbox rally racing is super cool

Toy car racing might be the newest, most electric sport out there.

With sports betting on the horizon here in Chicago, I know exactly what my money is going to be placed on.

Is it a little nerdy to recreate an entire rally course for toy cars?

No, absolutely not. This is the coolest thing ever.

This vodka will not sanitize your hands

With fears over the global outbreak of the Corona virus and shortages on hand sanitizer, many people have gone to different means to keep their hands clean to avoid the germs but a vodka company has to come out to tell people that their booze will not do the trick. Tito’s Vodka has made many kicking drink, but the distillery has stomped online chatter out about using their popular vodka to clean your hands with a responsible series of posts on social media.

You have to have 60-70% alcohol content to kill a virus or germs on your hands.

Uber opens permanent indoor waiting lounge at the United Center.

The first of its kind at any sports arena or concert venue, Uber has opened the first permanent indoor drop-off and waiting area — and it’s right here at the United Center.

Getting out of Chicago winter weather is enough of a bonus for me, but it turns out the Uber Zone has room for about 1,000 patrons, is temperature controlled, and yes — you will be able to charge your dying mobile devices while you wait for your ride.

For more details, like — how your driver will find you —  the Chicago Sun-Times has you covered.  And scroll down — we have you covered for upcoming shows at the United Center that you might be interested in.  — [eric]
