What Time Of Day Do We All Lose It And Start Swearing?

According to a new study, the average American endures 1,205 stressful events a year and the number one expression of that frustration is swearing. Everyday stressing situations like for example your CTA train running late, can make us blow up and exclaim a curse word. The AVERAGE person drops their first swear word by 10:54 AM.

Those with particularly dirty mouths who are believed to be 1 in 4 don’t even make it to 9AM before dropping F-bombs and other words that would make Ralphie’s Mom from ‘A Christmas Story’ reach for a bar of soap.

 

 

Prince’s Nothing Compares 2 U

We got the news today that Prince thought he was taking Vicodin when he died of an accidental overdose of fentanyl, almost 50 times stronger.

His estate shared a previously unreleased 1984 studio version of Nothing Compares 2 U including previously unseen rehearsal footage of Prince & The Revolution from the summer of 84.

A seven-inch vinyl single will also be released May 25th, while a limited-edition picture disc will be available exclusively through the Prince “HtNRun” online store.

Final ‘Deadpool 2’ Trailer Makes Me Wish it Were May 18th

Like everyone else into superhero movies, I can’t wait for Avengers: Infinity War to be released this weekend.

But deep down inside, in a place that I don’t talk about at parties, there is a different Marvel Comic cinematic release that I crave more.  Slightly off-kilter, filthy mouths, and a tongue-in-cheek mocking of the genre?  I’m touching myself tonight.

See you next month….Mr. Pool.  — [eric]

A Robot That Looks Human Walks Into A Bar, Everyone Freaks Out

Enter England’s Now TV ahead of the next season of the robot western drama, pulled this  brilliant prank of taking a human-like creep bot named ‘Fred’ and placed him in a bar where he had very awkward interactions with bar patrons. This video ends with Fred smashing a glass, while also promoting of course, Westworld.

NEW MUSIC ALERT! A Perfect Circle Pays Tribute On Fresh Track From ‘Eat The Elephants’

 

A Perfect Circle released a new pulse-pounding song ‘”So Long, and Thanks for All The Fish.” that references the passing of pop culture legends David Bowie, Carrie Fisher, Muhammad Ali and Carrie Fisher on the single from their upcoming LP, Eat the Elephant.

Note the following lyric:

“Now Willy Wonka, Major Tom/ Ali and Leia have moved on,

Signal the final curtain call/ In all this atomic pageantry.”

The song has a decidedly cinematic vibe that reminds me of U2 on first listen. Yet another diverse shade in the many works of Maynard James Keenan.

Station’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.
  5. Limitations of Liability. The Released Parties are not responsible for: (1) any incorrect or inaccurate information, whether caused by Station, entrants, printing errors or by any of the equipment or programming associated with or utilized in the Contest; (2) technical failures of any kind, including but not limited to malfunctions, interruptions, or disconnections in phone lines or network hardware or software; (3) unauthorized human intervention in any part of the entry process or the Contest; (4) technical or human error which may occur in the administration of the Contest or the processing of entries; or (5) any injury or damage to persons or property which may be caused, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from entrant’s participation in the Contest or receipt or use, non-use or misuse of any prize. No more than the stated number of prizes will be awarded. In event that a production, technical, programming or other error causes more than stated number of prizes as set forth in these Official Rules to be claimed, Station reserves the right to award only the stated number of prizes by a random drawing among all legitimate, unawarded, eligible prize claims.
  6. Entrant agrees that: (i) any and all disputes, claims and causes of action arising out of or connected with this Contest, or any prizes awarded, shall be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action; (ii) any and all disputes, claims and causes of action arising out of or connected with this Contest, or any prizes awarded, shall be resolved exclusively by the United States District Court or the appropriate state court located in the Station’s listening area; (iii) any and all claims, judgments and awards shall be limited to actual out-of-pocket costs incurred, including costs associated with entering this Contest, but in no event attorneys’ fees; and (iv) under no circumstances will entrant be permitted to obtain awards for, and entrant hereby waives all rights to claim punitive, incidental and consequential damages and any other damages, other than for actual out-of-pocket expenses, and any and all rights to have damages multiplied or otherwise increased. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of these Official Rules, or the rights and obligations of entrant and Station in connection with the Contest, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the state in which the Station is located, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules (whether of the state in which the Station is located or any other jurisdiction), which would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the state in which the Station is located.
  7. Entrant’s Personal Information. Information collected from entrants is subject to Station’s Privacy Policy, which is available on the Station’s website under the “Privacy Policy” link. All entry blanks, forms, devices, and materials gathered during the course of entry, as well as all information contained therein, shall become the sole property of Station to be used, disposed of or destroyed in its sole discretion. Station is not responsible for any incorrect or inaccurate information entered by website users, and assumes no responsibility for any error, omission, interruption, deletion, defect, delay in operation or transmission, communications line failure, theft or destruction or unauthorized access to Station’s website.
