Man gets beat up for throwing poop on his neighbor’s porch for months

It seems two neighbors in Edgewater have gotten into a spat.

So here’s the story:

One neighbor lost a dog and when the rescuer tried to return the dog, the owner pulled a baseball bat on him!
So as revenge he flung bags of his dog’s poops on his front porch.

The attacker didn’t notice for months until he eventually caught his neighbor in the act and this time he attacked him.

The guy who got beat up, Guy Stehley, is plastering signs around the neighborhood looking for witnesses to the incident.
Stahley suffered a few bumps and bruises but doesn’t know if he wants to press charges admitting throwing poops was a little immature.

Maybe the guy shouldn’t have come out with a bat when he was just returning his dog to him in the first place!

You can learn more about the story on Block Club Chicago‘s website.

Let’s hope these childish games end before someone else does something way worse.

After four failed engagements this woman finally gets married to a…

After 221 failed dates and four broken off engagements, this woman finally gets married… to her dog.

Yes, Elizabeth Hoad decided she was over getting hurt by men and decided it was best if she tied the knot with her golden retriever.

She even did it live on daytime TV.

Congratulations?

She’s stuck with picking up his shit till death.

Stream Death Cab for Cutie’s new emotional song “Kids in ’99”

Death Cab for Cutie dropped a new single today called “Kids in ’99” that teases a new 5-track release ‘the Blue EP’ due out on September 6th. This EP follows the themes of last year’s ‘Thank You for Today’ album. This new song is quite emotional as it reflects on a tragic pipeline gas explosion in the band’s hometown of Bellingham, Washington that killed two boys, ages 10 and 18. The song touches on the literal loss of these people, and loss of innocence. Maybe they will play this tune this week during their Lollapalooza set or their SOLD-OUT Lolla Aftershow at Metro, you can win your way into that after show here. 

The Blue EP Tracklist:
01. To the Ground
02. Kids in ‘99
03. Man in Blue
04. Before the Bombs
05. Blue Bloods

DCFC stopped by the Lounge last year to record this moving acoustic session which featured intimate performances of ‘Goldrush’, ‘Title and Registration’, and ‘Your Hurricane’.

Uber lays off 400

Until yesterday, Uber had a 1,200-person strong marketing department, but in an effort to trim costs and make operations more efficient, they’ve cut about a third of that team. The layoffs, first reported by The New York Times, follow first-quarter losses of $1 billion and are among the latest cost-driven changes to occur at the company since it went public in May. Last month, chief operating officer Barney Harford and chief marketing officer Rebecca Messina stepped down as part of an organizational shakeup.

Surfer bitten by a shark skipped the hospital and went to a bar

Even the sharks know that it’s Shark week!

This past Saturday in Jacksonville, Florida 23-year-old professional surfer Frank O’Rourke was knocked off his surfboard by a three to four-foot shark.

During the struggle, the shark took a decent bite out of the surfer’s arm.

Shortly afterward he was treated by a lifeguard and his friend RJ Berger, had the attack on video, said the bite was pretty bad and that he could’ve gotten a few stitches.

After the incident, RJ said  “He immediately went to a bar because he was like,  ‘hey, I got bit by a shark,’ and people were like, ‘I’ll buy you drinks.’ So he hung out at the pier.”

Although he got attacked, at least he got a sweet story and some free drinks out of it. Maybe even helped him with the ladies!

Delivery drivers may be taking your food

How upset would you be if you found out if your delivery driver was eating some on your food?

US. Foods did a survey to figure out if delivery drivers were behaving badly. The survey questioned 1,518 American adults, with 500 of them being delivery drivers.

It showed that 28% of delivery drivers have, with 54% of them being tempted to. Well no duh they would be tempted to, they are sitting in a car filled with smells of the food!

They learned more about peoples delivery habits as well:

  • Americans get food delivered about three times a month.
  • 54% of people believe deliver drivers deserve their tips more.
  • Top complaint from costumers: Food not warm and/or fresh
  • Top complaint from delivery drivers: Weak/No tip

All things to think about when you order on an app next time.

 

Fyre Festival, Part II? Folks, Woodstock 50 doesn’t look good…but still technically ON.

The concept seemed strong enough when we first heard about it earlier this year —- a 50th anniversary celebration of the first Woodstock festival.  But here we are, just a few weeks away [August 16 – 18] —  and things are hardly ready to go for a concert event of this scale.  Let me bring you up to date:

I could be wrong — and this could be an amazing fundraiser filled with artists embracing the spirit of the original.  But right now all I see is a bunch of wet mattresses and plain cheese sandwiches. Call me “Netflix jaded.” —- [eric]

Wait, another alligator in Humboldt Park captured? Is it a hoax?

Just when you thought it was over, the most ridiculous yet intriguing Chicago story of the summer chomps back for another round.

Block Club Chicago reported earlier today on a possible new alligator that was found in the lagoon in Humboldt Park, the same area where the internet sensation ‘Chance the Snapper’ gained world-wide media attention after he avoided authorities for over a week in the surprising habitat earlier this month. He was eventually captured with much fanfare, and has been transferred to an accommodating facility in Florida. The latest gator to possibly crawl around the west side park has already been captured and taken into Chicago Police custody before being transferred to animal care professionals last night.

The new gator story is somewhat suspect though, as the fresh Facebook live videos covering the entire scenario as the whole scenario played out. The video goes on for about 10 minutes outside the boat house, as people take pictures with the apprehended reptile. The spectators note this new gator looks smaller than the previous gator. It becomes such a scene even the police officers who respond to the issue get some photos. All of the fun ends, when the gator actually gets temporary put in the back seat of a police vehicle.

A second video from the scene seems to question the legitimacy of whether or not the whole thing is real or some possible elaborate hoax. Both fisherman involved were said to be in police custody after the initial brouhaha settled down, and were brought in for further questioning with a potential belief that the gator was a pet who was could have been posed to look like it was captured in the lagoon.

Yes, it’s pretty out there to say the least.

Scroll down to view both.

Note there is some adult language in these videos. 

Another alligator caught in the Humboldt Park lagoon just outside the Boathouse Café.

Watch Green Day’s Billie Joe & Mike rock a block party covers set

Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt played a surprise covers set as the Coverups a week ago at Oakland’s 40th annual Street Block Party. Joining Armstrong and Dirnt on stage was touring guitarist Jason White, audio engineer Chris Dugan and tour manager Bill Schneider according to a report by AltPress.

The set was so informal and loose compared to the stadium rock god grandeur of Green Day’s massive stage shows with the guys thrashing through classics from the Ramones, Nirvana, the Clash, David Bowie, and a handful of more obscure cuts. If you like old school pogo-jumping punk, then you will love a lot of this performance which you can watch in full here from Youtuber 3 Cameras and a Microphone.
