A man dipped his what in the customer’s salsa!?

A man in Tennessee decided to dip his testicles+ into a customer’s salsa container.
He was arrested after a 14-second video surfaced of him doing this.

Howard Matthew Webb, 31, put both of his testicles into the container all because he was only tipped 89 cents. Yes, I get that isn’t a lot, but that doesn’t make this okay!
Webb was the passenger in a car of a deliver driver for the food service Dinner Delivered in Maryville, Tennessee.

Thankfully the customer has been refunded and the delivery driver was fired.

Police arrested Webb and charged him with adulteration of food.

Old Wrigleyville Taco Bell is, possibly, being replaced with…

According to the Southport Corridor, the Taco Bell at 1111 W. Addison will be demolished for new development… a Taco Bell Cantina.

If you don’t know, this is the Taco Bell that serves booze. I think we can all get behind booze and tacos.

With the old building torn down, it’s rumoured that a 4-story complex shall be built within the space. Not only will the Taco Bell Cantina be on the ground floors but so will a Chase and other retail spaces, then on the upper floors, there shall be a climbing gym.

As things progress we will be sure to give you an update!

Aquaman 2 will wash ashore in 2022

A sequel to last year’s successful “Aquaman” movie is on the books for December 16, 2022. The first movie grossed over $1.1 billion, and has left Warner Brothers scrambling for other ways to mine the ocean’s depths for money. One concept that’s been, um, floated around is doing a spinoff about the Trench, the scary-looking monsters who showed up toward the end of Aquaman.

Mysterious surge in $100 bills

CNBC reports that there has been a “mysterious surge in $100 bills” around the world.

Currently, there are more than 12 billion US $100 bills in circulation, double the number from a decade ago; and $100 bills now outnumber $1 bills.

General consensus among economists seems to be that the influx is due to the global hoarding of money. However, history also says that high-denomination currency is preferred by criminals.
DataTrek Research co-founder Nicholas Colas says the surge has nothing to do with the US economy. He points out that, while there is indication it “is an enabler of corruption,” the number of $100 bills overseas began rising following the Gulf War and US invasion of Afghanistan as a replacement to local currencies was need to stabilize the region.

Chris Cornells Wife visits Congress

Vickey Cornell, widow of Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell, visited Congress to address the Bipartisan Heroin and Opioid Task Force to share the story of her husband’s death.

She discussed his death to bring up a larger issue, the nation’s ongoing opioid crisis. Telling the Bipartisan Heroin and Opioid Task Force, “The part that hurts most is Chris’ death was not inevitable, there were no demons that took over. Chris had a brain disease and a doctor who unfortunately, like many, was not properly trained or educated on addiction.”

She emphasized the dilemma of healthcare professionals overprescribing addictive medications stating, “We must integrate addiction treatment into our health care system—no more false narratives about the need to hit rock bottom, no more secret societies, no more shame—we must educate health care providers on how to treat addiction and best support recovery.”

Later she posted on Instagram about the experience with a tribute to her late husband.

I’m so honored to have been invited to Capitol Hill to speak about the impact of addiction on our family, share our heartache and advocate on behalf of a comprehensive solution to integrate addiction into mainstream medicine. Thank you @RepAnnieKuster and @RepBrianFitz and on behalf of my late husband and our family we thank you for all your efforts. We are deeply heartened by the achievements of the past two sessions of Congress. America thanks you for these bipartisan and bicameral efforts. My @chriscornellofficial I know you have that big infectious smile on your face and we feel your love and warmth, every single day. You are always with us. We are always with you…. I will fight this until the end for you, for our babies and 21 million reasons ….. I love you. WE ALL LOVE YOU!!!! #chriscornellforever #legendsneverdie

A mega trailer for a mega story

Actor Topher Grace (Eric from That 70s Show) has long been a huge Star Wars fan.  In fact, he did his own 85 minute edit of the prequal triolgy.  Now, he has cut together a 5 minute trailer for the entire 10 movie Star Wars canon.  This truly is a mega Star Wars trailer.

Netflix changed the ending of The Notebook, why?!

WARNING- CONTAINS SPOILERS.
(Well if you haven’t seen The Notebook)

So Netflix UK decided to change the ending of The Notebook and cut out the highly emotional ending.

If you don’t know about The Notebook and what it’s about, check out it’s IMDB page. The movie has been out since 2004, watch it already.

Now for spoilers, the ending was supposed to be where Noah and Allie die in each other’s arms after she finally remembers her devoted husband. But instead of this ending, they changed it to where he promises to return and complete his story the following day, along with a less satisfying shot of birds flying over a lake.

People weren’t too happy about it, a lot took to Twitter to ask why the change.

But seriously Netflix UK, why change the ending everyone is fully prepared to cry for?

Funeral ‘resurrection’ has twitter pointing out its flaws.

Have you ever seen someone resurrected at a funeral? Well now here’s your chance.

I guess this Pastor, Alph Lukau, was able to bring this man back to life. Or he at least he wants us to think he brought this man back to life, but Twitter users did their thing and questioned the ‘resurrections’ authenticity.

Of course with the sceptics, it brought alone some jokes and a possible new challenge for 2019.

Are you going to participate in the resurrection challenge?

Eat and sleep at the original ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ gas station.

Thinking about your next vacation? Consider driving out to the gas station where ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ was filmed!

The Gas Station from the original 1974 film, is now a restaurant that serves up barbecue and sells all sorts of merchandise for horror movie buffs.

“We actually have a gas pump that every once in a while we take out…the Coca-Cola machine that’s exactly the one from the movie, we take out,” Manager Ben Hughes told KVUE.

The building has been refurbished and had opened to the public in 2016.

“If you’re a fan of the movie to begin with, then coming out and actually getting to be in a place where it was, it really heightens it for you,” Hughes said.

They even have a replica of the van from the movie parked outside, same make, model, year, and color!

Plus you can also have the chance to stay the night there! Behind the building, they built 4 mini-cabins so visitors can get the full effect. Along with campsites that you can reserve on their site as well.

And no, they won’t come out to scare you.

“We want to make sure that everybody that comes out has a good time and not just freakin’ out or anything like that,” Hughes said.

So far this has become a big hit! It may be spooking but they’re very welcoming to all visitors.

Brian for mayor, the one true candidate for Chicago.

We know there are many candidates to choose from when voting for mayor, but the only one that matters is Brian.

He’s one with Chicago and its history.

Brian proves that he’s a man of Chicago. #MayoralAF

He’s trustworthy and has free shirts. Who doesn’t want free shirts?

Most importantly, he is a man of the people.

Remember, Vote Brian for Mayor!

‘Gremlins’ set to return as a new series on a streaming service

Today Variety reported that Warner Media will revive 80’s horror comedy creatures ‘Gremlins’ as animated series on the company’s upcoming streaming service. Let’s just hope Gizmo is back being an adorable Rambo blowing up Gremlins.

You can’t feed them after midnight, but soon you can stream them anytime you want.

‘Gremlins’ was released in 1984 by Steven Speilberg’s Amblin and Warner Bros. Studios to big success at the box office. Both Warner and Amblin will produce the new animated show with Tze Chun is attached to write and executive produce. Chun has worked on TV series ‘Once Upon a Time’ and ‘Gotham’.

Director Joe Dante returned for the sequel ‘Gremlins 2: The New Batch’ in 1990, with less fanfare and a mixed reaction from fans and critics. The sequel has since grown to have a big cult following inspiring satirical spoofs like this one from Key & Peel.

Check out a recording from one of Green Day’s first shows.

A performance of Green Day has surfaced, (and thanks to RockSound for helping me find it).  It’s a 1989 performance from a small club in the Bay Area of California, during an opening stint for Killdozer.  First off all, THAT HAIR.  Second of all, is it just me or was Tre Cool really….raw on this?  Third of all, stop reading and just hit play.  It’s a pretty damn good recording for being pulled from cassette.  Enjoy some live Green Day from one of their first shows!  — [eric]
