Pizza gets pups adopted!
I’ll take a large pepperoni and uhhhhh… how about a beagle?
A local pizza restaurant and a dog shelter have teamed up to get some puppies a nice home!
ICYMI: Mary Alloy of Just Pizza & Wing Co. Amherst, NY Location was on HLN’s The Bright Spot segment this morning to talk about her friendship with Niagara SPCA!
Posted by Niagara SPCA on Tuesday, March 3, 2020
I would order the pizza just for the picture of a cute doggy!
What an awesome team-up this is!
Maybe it’s time we team up with a shelter????
The PAWS 14th Annual Animal Magnetism fundraiser in West Loop
On March 13th, PAWS is hosting their 14th annual Animal Magnetism fundraiser in West Loop.
This event welcomes approximately 600 of Chicago’s urban professionals, animal lovers, and canine companions! Guests will enjoy a night of food, drinks, dancing, entertainment, spectacular silent auction, and much more! Pups at the party can enjoy their own dog buffet, or receive personal pampering in the designated Dog Spa! This pet-friendly celebration is critical in raising funds that provide the operational support PAWS Chicago needs to continue saving thousands of homeless pets around the world each year. Several homeless, adoptable pets rescued by PAWS Chicago will be debuted at the event, and guests interested in adopting them will have the first opportunity to give them a forever home!
I’ll be there with my Black Lab, Reggie. He’s got a new tie to show off to all of the hot… ahem ladies. Support a great cause, and dress up with your pup! It’s a win-win in my book!
L.A. Sheriffs accused of sharing graphic photos of Kobe Bryant helicopter crash
There are reports that some L.A. County sheriff’s deputies were sharing graphic photos of the crash scene that took the lives of NBA legend Kobe Bryant & his daughter Gigi as well as seven other victims.
Reports say that some of these unauthorized photos of the crash scene were being shown in settings that were not related to the investigation.
Some of these photos allegedly showed the remains of some of the victims as well.
Gross, this situation is just gross.
New music from BUSH ‘Flowers on a Grave’
Bush are back at it with a fresh song “Flowers on a Grave” dropped today with a tour announcement, to follow the release of the new album ‘The Kingdom’ which comes out in May. The latest song will not disappoint long time fans of the band with a guitar riff up front, and a deep emotional yet catchy chorus. Bush played a kick ass set a few years back at PIQNIQ. We just announced Piqniq 2020, get in on that here.
We also had them in the Lounge where they did this memorable Pink Floyd cover.
Call in sick with coronavirus and get PIQNIQ tickets!
Brian had the bright idea to have people call in sick from work, saying it was because they have coronavirus.
With PIQNIQ Tickets on the line, people were quick to dial-up their boss live on the air.
She might not have a job, but she DOES have PIQNIQ tickets!
Worth it!
This fart has layers
We all fart, but not all of us rip ones that sound like a 1994 Honda Civic with a broken muffler.
I think he was even surprised when his butt horn was thrown into second gear.
If I was the nice lady in the bed I wouldn’t even be mad about the fart, I’d be more impressed than anything.
Vagina Weightlifting
This has to be the strangest workout I’ve ever heard of.
Vagina Weightlifting is apparently, well a thing that exists.
Um…
How do you even start getting into this?
Does she ever need a spotter at the gym?
Does she have any friends?
The answer is obviously no, this is not a normal person who has friends behavior.
This little girl is terrorized by a deer
People don’t talk about how awful deer are.
They destroy our cars, they destroy our yards, and now they’re chasing down our children!
I know there’s a lot of people worried about the coronavirus right now, but we have a bigger problem here.
We need to come together as a society and take care of the deer problem that we have.
It’s time to say ENOUGH.
Ryan Reynolds Gave an 84-Year-Old Leap Day Baby Her First “Legal” Drink
Arlene Manko was born on February 29th, 1936. That was 84 years ago. But since February 29th only comes along every four years, Arlene just turned 21 on Saturday.
And RYAN REYNOLDS was there to provide her with her first “legal” drink . . . in an ad for his Aviation Gin brand, of course.
In the clip, Arlene takes a sip and says, “Holy Moses!” Then she says she’s never heard of Ryan Reynolds . . . and his reply is priceless! – Tim Virgin

Don’t bother Samuel L. Jackson while he’s working!
If you’re looking to get a world-famous Samuel L. Jackson M-F’er, then just role up on him while he’s filming a movie.
Actors love that right?
This has to be better than a picture with him right?
He’s awesome, but seriously… let the man work.
Aaron Carter snatches back merch from fan
Aaron Carter has officially been crested as a washed-up piece of garbage.
Look at him freak out on this fast-food worker for not knowing who he was.
Aaron, this girl was probably born in 2002! Of course she doesn’t know who you are!
She was just being nice taking your stupid merch.
Carter, famously known for riding the coattails of his brother Nick Carter, has been trying to stay relevant for awhile now.
For instance, he got this huge ugly face tattoo because those are in right?
Keep your merch you jerk, I want candy wasn’t even that good of a song!

Houses covered in ice on Lake Erie
Overall it’s been a more mild winter season compared to past years in the Midwest, but you can’t say the same for Hamburg, New York which sits on the coast of Lake Erie, as this one viral news report showed off a house completely covered in thick ice. Yes, that’s a not a ice carving, that is real. No, this is not the evil hideout of Mr. Freeze from the Batman comics. WROC sent out of a drone apparently that got this ice footage.
This must be beautiful homes to live in the summer season, but this winter has made it awful.
Does this mean this homeowner technically lives in an igloo?
Here is what it’s like when you park your car next to Lake Erie in an ice storm.
Rack out (not rock out)…to lullaby versions of Panic! At The Disco.
There is a group — Sparrow Sleeps — that are about to release their 55th album of lullaby covers. And that album is the group’s take on Panic! At The Disco— which they are calling Pray For The Restless. Clever. That album will be available on Monday (March 2nd) — and available to preview below.
If the little rocker in your life needs help falling asleep, here are a bunch of other alt tunes to enjoy. — [eric]

Were these movies cursed in real life?
Streaming service SHUDDDER is teasing a really intriguing docu-series for horror fans and just movie fans in general. ‘Cursed Films’ looks at the ubran legends and conspiracy about on-set/off-set disasters to some of the biggest scary movies of all time including ‘the Exorcists’, ‘Poltergeist’, and many more. They get into the stuff we’ve only heard about that may be true and the sad things we know are true like the accidental death of Brandon Lee on the set of ‘the Crow’.
AV Club reports the first three episodes—those covering Poltergeist, The Omen, and The Exorcist—will premiere on April 9. The remaining two episodes will follow on April 16.
Candyman returns to haunt Chicago, in new Jordan Peele story.
A “spiritual sequel” to the 1992 film Candyman is coming to theaters this summer, in the form of a movie written by Jordan Peele.
The action will pick up 25 years after the events in Cabrini Green. A lot has changed in the now-gentrified Chicago neighborhood, but a new round of characters will discover some things never do. Especially when you call their name five times in the mirror.
June 12th is when this one will hit theatres. — [eric]

CHICAGO, am I right?
