AN ELEGANT UTENSIL FOR A MORE CIVILIZED AGE
But now, we must eat. Come, good food, come… and meet your end in the grasp of the Star Wars Light-Up Chop Sabers. They’re lightsabers. They’re chopsticks. They’ll change the way you experience your favorite Asian foods. The time is now to grab these Japanese imports from ThinkGeek and deftly maneuver your food with the power of the Force. (MORE HERE)
I can see a future of ONLY using these for all food related scenarios. If these existed I might not have resisted eating my vegetables as a kid (now).
You Can Buy Jeans With Fake Mud On Them
Nordstom is selling muddy jeans for $425.
Let’s take a look at the back…
425?!?!
Nordstrom says the jeans are meant to show “you’re not afraid to get down and dirty.” But… that’s exactly what you are if you are buying pre-mudded jeans, am I wrong?
Save yourself $425. Come to the station and I’ll throw mud on you for free.
FREE FOOD ALERT!! FREE FOOD ALERT!!

If you’re looking for a way to score a fast, free dinner on National Pretzel Day (Wednesday, April 26), Hannah’s Bretzel is answering the call. The local sandwich chain will be giving away one free Hot Melty sandwich and a side salad to the first 100 guests who visit either of its locations at 400 N Lasalle St or 131 S Dearborn St between 5pm and 7pm.
The new Hot Melty sandwiches feature a warm pretzel baguette, organic meats and cheeses and fresh, house-made sauces and chutney’s. Hot Melty sandwiches launch the same day as National Pretzel Day and options include: the Hot Mess (organic grass-fed sirloin, pimento cheese and pickled red onions), Hannah’s Croque (Jambon de Paris ham, Swiss gruyère cheese, whole grain mustard and cheesy mornay sauce) and the Melty Milano (Plainville Farms smoked organic turkey, Wisconsin fresh mozzarella, organic baby arugula, piquillo peppers and housemade tomato aioli).
Head over to Hannah’s Bretzel tomorrow for your free sandwich because, honestly, we can’t think of a better (or tastier) way to celebrate to National Pretzel Day. (MORE HERE)
You had me at FREE but then you mentioned “sauces and chutney’s” and now I’m looking into legal unions between a human and a sangwhich.

Reviews are in for ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’ and….
The reviews out of the gate for the anticipated for Marvel sequel to the surprise hit ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ are coming in with a mixture of opinions and a ton of excitement. The current Rotten Tomatoes score is a strong 85%, so that’s good but what nerdgastic joys should we expect from Starlord and company? ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’ hits theaters on May 5th BUT YOU CAN WIN A PAIR OF TICKETS ALL THIS WEEK BY LISTENING TO 101WKQX during Brian & Lou at 7:30AM.
Beyond the Trailer says the ride of ‘GOTG2’ started rough but ended very well. She also emphasizes that you should see it in 3D due the visual effects that are crafted for the in-your-lap adventure. Her video also digs into how the 5 , yes 5 end credit scenes tease into other Marvel Cinematic Universe films in the future.
Schmoes Knows were split on the sequel in the stars, saying it “does not live up to the promise” of the original but it still delivers a lot of fun.
Screen Junkies News recommended you go see this movie, goofing that you would be “weird” if you don’t. They also urge that you don’t go into it with ridiculous expectations.

What ya missed, critiquing intern Angel’s Demo, how someone has called you fat, interview with Guy Lucia
White Sox Fan: Folk Hero OR Criminal?!
This video, captured during Sunday’s home-game loss, shows a not-altogether-graceful guy named Guy hilariously rush the field. The security guard gets all of his Pauly K jersey, but he kept drunkenly running – at least for a bit. If that wasn’t enough, he was handing out hot dogs that he was keeping in his hat! He ended up being arrested, so his friends started a GoFundMe to help his shenanigans, but it was pulled down. READ MORE
FaceApp – Swap Your FACE!
I am perfectly content with who I am… BUT I’m a curious person. What would I look like old? Or as a man? Now, with FaceApp I know. Considering I lived through being young and am now the age I am, I know what I looked like as a young person and that’s pretty much it. I learned that I will look like a classic, fairytale witch when I’m old and I look like my cousin Diego as a man.
Here’s the link for apple store and google play so that you too can play around with your face!

Rise Against
If you were with me at the House of Vans Friday night, then we share the same sentiments of how lucky we feel to be in that room. If not, then you have probably spent a lot of time crying about it.. Either way, I tried to capture some of it (when I wasn’t in the middle of the pit)
