The late, great Hot Doug’s has been closed for over four years, but the encased-meats emporium hasn’t let a little detail like not existing stop it from staying in the spotlight. Just this month, for instance, Chicago hosted the premiere of Hot Doug’s: The Movie; and former owner Doug Sohn continues to serve up sausages at Wrigley Field. Now, it looks like you can even get Hot Doug’s sausages delivered to your door. What a time to be alive!

NPR calling for listeners to overthrow the government definitely would have made for an interesting Independence Day.
But the public radio network wasn’t calling for a revolution, and it wasn’t calling the President a tyrant. NPR was just doing what it has done for years on the Fourth of July: Reciting the Declaration of Independence. READ MORE
We decided to do our own experiment and tweet out the Bill of Rights and people are reacting just like we thought they would.
This is completely ridiculous! This is why I don’t listen to your station anymore. Unbelievable https://t.co/SDS2PCgG5f

Someone posted a photo this week of an inflatable pool float Sam’s Club has been selling. And it’s trending online, because guys don’t see what’s wrong with it . . . but women see it immediately.
The thing looks EXACTLY like a giant maxi pad. It’s white with a little bit of blue, and the design even makes it look like it’s quilted.
Someone posted a photo on Reddit. Then it blew up after a romance novelist named Jillian David shared it on Twitter with a caption that said, “This could have been avoided with ONE focus group of women.”
Focus group. This could have been avoided with 1 focus group (of women). pic.twitter.com/C76lv5ji33

Clips of it have floated around the web, but today SPIN unearthed a full 17 minute video of this then-upcoming band called Nirvana on January 24th 1988, performing in an empty Radioshack store in Abderdeen, Washington. The video technically does not feature bassist Kris Novaselic and guitarist/singer Kurt Cobain playing, as they are syncing up their movement with audio from a demo recording they had made the previous day.
It’s also worth noting that Dave Grohl is not on drums in this video, it’s Dale Crover who played on the band’s January ’88 demo. Crover also performed with fellow Seattle grunge veterans , the Melvins for many years. Crover contributed to several Nirvana tracks around this time, which would later go on to be released in various compilations and the first album ‘Bleach’.
This may have been done as simply as a video demo for the band to seek out more recording opportunities and shows. It’s intriguing to see Nirvana in this very raw uninfluenced form. You can see more retro Nirvana fun with this video bootleg of the band performing in Chicago in 1989 here.
Looks like the rumors are true! Bill Murray and his brothers are planning to open a Caddyshack themed restaurant in the Crown Plaza Hotel in Rosemont. It’s not expected to open until December so no word on decor or menu but you can be sure it will house plenty of Caddyshack memorabilia. Oh, and a “gold simulation experience.” I’m in. -wALT

You know EMILY RATAJKOWSKI as the chick with the big boobs in ROBIN THICKE’s “Blurred Lines” video, or as the chick with the big boobs in the movie “Gone Girl”. And that’s the problem . . . those big boobs.
Because they’re preventing Emily from getting work in Hollywood. She tells “Harper’s Bazaar“, quote, “There’s this thing that happens to me: ‘Oh, she’s too sexy.’
“It’s like an anti-woman thing, that people don’t want to work with me because my boobs are too big. What’s wrong with boobs? They’re a beautiful feminine thing that needs to be celebrated. Like, who cares?
“They are great big, they are great small. Why should that be an issue?”
Laura was pissed because Deshawn spoiled a TV show for her… that ended in 2013!

I’m impressed with this woman’s upper body strength AND her cajones. Lady cajones.
Around 6:30 A.M. on Sunday, a woman walked up to a Buffalo Wild Wings in Nitro, West Virginia . . . headed onto the patio . . . unhooked a large TV . . . and then casually walked off, carrying it above her head.
Then she walked across the entire parking lot, loaded it into a Kia Soul, and drove off.
The cops are trying to track her down.
