In Buenos Aires, Argentina, you can often find soccer fans celebrating victories in the city centre at El Obelisco, which is similar to the Washington Monument.
That’s where Gabrial was celebrating his team clinching the Superliga title on Sunday with a 1-1 draw with Tigre, but he was holding something quite odd. He was holding his grandfather’s skull that he went and dug up to celebrate with. He was interviewed by TNTSports and that’s where he explained the skull he was carrying.

I mean, it’s sweet he thought about celebrating the moment with his grandpa. But maybe he shouldn’t have gone into the graveyard and dug him up, instead, he could have just celebrated at his grave.
Just a thought.
Presale tickets for “Avengers: Endgame” went on sale, and people have already started selling them on eBay for RIDICULOUS prices.
Resellers have put up tickets demanding anywhere between $100 and $500 for a single ticket. Others have opened bids, starting at $45 and $50.
Someone in Virginia is selling tickets for $100. Not great but not the worse.
In Arizona, someone is selling tickets for $300. Definitely not the price anyone wants to pay but still not the worst one… yet.
If you’re willing to make the drive to Crystal Lake or Skokie, IL. you can purchase tickets from eBay as well, but for a pretty penny. As tickets are going for thousands of dollars to see the movie on opening night.
Yup, THOUSANDS of dollars for movie tickets.
Notice how you would still have to pay for shipping on these tickets. Shouldn’t they just make shipping free?
Listen, if you’re looking for opening night tickets don’t go to eBay. Some theatres have many shows happening that night so you can look for various times, or find a different theatre! Just don’t spend thousands of dollars, please.
You can see more ticket listings on eBay.

We are truly fortunate to live in a city that is a breeding ground for incredible musicians. Watching Friday Pilots Club feels like you are witnessing the future of music. I was so impressed with their session in our Lounge, and cannot wait to see what they will do on the St. Xavier stage at PIQNIQ June 15th at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheater. Check them out:
PIQNIQ is 10 bands for $20, but you can score free tickets HERE.

Scientists have discovered that electronic music can repel mosquitoes and could be an alternative to bug sprays.
The journal Acta Tropica published the research stating:
“In insects, low-frequency vibrations facilitate sexual interactions, whereas noise disrupts the perception of signals from conspecifics [members of the same species] and hosts.”
Scientists tested the theory on the species Aedes aegypti, the type of mosquito known for spreading yellow fever.
Here are more highlights from the research:
Dubstep music from Skrillex was chosen for the experiment because of the artist’s use of very high and very low frequencies, specifically the song Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites.
So when it comes summertime and the mosquitoes are out, just play Skrillex.
Monday we all fell victims to brands pranking us with April Fools jokes, like the McPickle. But as the day goes on more brands posted on social media various ‘releases’ that we should have known weren’t true.
Here’s a few of those:

Well, it turns out that it was just an early April Fools Day prank. Does this make them prank winners for getting everyone to believing this prank for a few days?

It seems like hipsters ruin everything, also can we please focus on how he is eating his own kind.. Why replace Mr Potato head with a cannibal?
Gender reveals have gone too far already, it’s better we don’t add in cheese sticks.
We know these are just some of the pranks that were pulled, but would you have wished any of these were honestly true?
Can we stop straight-laced TV news team from using slang to appeal to teenagers? Like seriously, stop this right now. It’s gone viral and it’s embarrassing to say the least. Professional adults agreed to say these things in front of a camera and try to be cool to the kids. They tried, and they failed.
The Washington Post reported earlier this week the TV station behind this WTOL only intended for the clip to be “Web only.” according to sports anchor sports Jordan Strack, adding “It never hit the air”. But if it got online, it may as well been on the air, right?
The unfiltered freak-out of the team to this clip of ‘Vice Live’ is incredible. Some NSFW language.
When I was a kid I was told to stop bringing my action figures (THEY ARE NOT DOLLS) to school. Excuse me Teachers, but the GI Joes want me to be a ‘real American hero” and I believe they would have supported those efforts in the classroom but I digress. There was similar ‘you can’t bring that to school’ vibes this week in this viral video of a goat trying to follow kids on a school bus.
The goat who is known locally in Heber City, Indiana as Tango tries to get on a school bus but as you can see in the video clip his path to high education is blocked.

On April 1st, 2009, Nine Inch Nails announced a brand new album called \”Strobe Light\”. They released the track listing, which featured numerous notable guests:
1. \”Intro Skit\”
2. \”Everybody\’s Doing It\” (featuring Chris Martin, Jay-Z AND Bono)
3. \”Black T-Shirt\”
4. \”Pussygrinder\” (featuring Sheryl Crow)
5. \”Coffin On The Dancefloor\”
6. \”This Rhythm Is Infected\”
7. \”Slide To The Dark Side\”
8. \”Even Closer\” (featuring Justin Timberlake and Maynard James Keenan)
9. \”On The List (she\’s not)\”
10. \”Clap Trap Crack Slap\”
11. \”Laid, Paid And Played\” (featuring Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas and Al Jourgensen)
12. \”Feel Like Being Dead Again\”
13. \”Still Hurts\” (featuring Alicia Keys)
14. \”Outro Skit\”
When users attempted to download the album, they were directed to a fake windows error message page. While it turned out to be an elaborate April Fool\’s prank, a decade later, the album has actually come to life.
Samples from the band and guest artists were used by a fan to create the ultimate mash-up album. While we have no idea of the true identity of the user \”Reznoss\”, we can listen to his masterpiece here:
New dads Matthew Eledge and Elliot Dougherty were elated when their baby girl was born about a week ago, but the whole family coming together was what made it possible. When the married couple expressed how they wanted to be have a child, Eledge\’s 61-year-old mom jokingly said she\’d be a surrogate. To her surprise, her incredible health actually made her eligible!
The plan solidified when Dougherty\’s sister offered to donated her eggs. They used in vitro fertilization, and baby Uma was formed.
Congrats to the happy family on their new addition!
The Interrupters dropped by The Lounge to share a few stories about how the band started out. In proper punk fashion, they broke from our three0song format to give us a bonus fourth song. Check it out!
