A Crew Member reached out to us, heartbroken over the events that occurred, or rather didn’t occur, over Valentine’s Day. It seems as if you are going to be in a relationship in 2023, you need to also post about it.

“We gave her camp a song called ‘Inside of You.’ I think they rearranged some of the music to create a pre-chorus section, that wasn’t originally part of the arrangement, for her to sing a small part on. We heard it and didn’t really love it so we passed on using it. It’s really just that simple. I think we had already gotten used to hearing the song as it was written so it just felt weird to us.”
On February 3, nearly 50 cars of a train went off track in Ohio, causing a fire that burned for days. 10 of the 50 derailed cars contained hazardous chemicals including butyl acrylate and vinyl chloride, which were among combustible liquids that authorities feared could set off a major explosion.
Local officials have insisted that the air and water quality has not been impacted by this accident, but the dead fish popping up in the town would beg to differ. According to NPR, “When vinyl chloride is exposed in the environment, it breaks down from sunlight within a few days and changes into other chemicals such as formaldehyde. When it is spilled in soil or surface water, the chemical evaporates into the air quickly, according to the Ohio Department of Health.”

Who, what, where, why, and how? We have no answers to any of those questions.
Alonzo Harmon, a black HVAC Technician, was called to service a home when something went terribly wrong. Harmon told The Daily Beast he’d been called to a woman’s home in Minneapolis to clean her air-ducts but was treated to Karen-like behavior while trying to do his job. Upon entering the home, he said he was greeted with, “They let you do a job like this?”
After that piss-poor introduction, Harmon was repeatedly asked about his qualifications and knowledge of what he was there to fix. The Karen finally admitted that she did not feel comfortable having Harmon inside of her home, and when the trained HVAC pro attempted to leave, that’s when the cops were called.
The police did nothing at the scene of the “crime”.
Brian, on Valentine’s Day, stumbled into a wormhole. He claims he was doing this for the show, but we think his home life is getting tougher and tougher.
Regardless of what Brian is doing at home, we have a solution for you if you spent Valentine’s Day alone, or around someone you don’t like. Meet An Inmate is going to be far more effective than any dating app you’ve ever used before. This website connects you to troubled prisoners who are looking for some “company”.
The website warns, “The inmates listed are convicted felons and caution should be used. Be understanding without being gullible. We recommend and promote using this site to find pen pals for friendships, and not romantic relationships.”
A collection of both male and female inmates can be found here.
God is proving that he does have favorites after all with the life that he’s given Eric Andre. The Adult Swim-turned-cult superstar comedian, a man who once vomited in front of Lauren Conrad, is now dating Emily Ratajkowski. The couple was seen at a Knicks game recently, but they eliminated any questions that remained about their relationship status when they posted this photo online.
We’re going to ignore the dirty rug this time, because we are flabbergasted by the way that Andre was able to pull this off. We salute you, sir.

A United Airlines flight that departed Hawaii for San Francisco and the end of last year came within feet of crashing into the Pacific Ocean. 775 feet from plunging into the ocean, to be exact.

How concerned should we be that the military failed the first time they attempted to take down the UFO that was hovering over Lake Huron over the weekend? How concerned should we be that this isn’t an elaborate set up to a joke? We are living in truly strange times, and the strangeness factor was just turned up a level by ABC 7, who reported, “The first missile that was launched by an F-16 fighter jet at the object near Lake Huron on Sunday did not hit the target.”
While officials insist that this does not present a threat on the ground, it does represent a threat to our intelligence. US Coast Guard ships were deployed to search the site in Lake Huron where the third object was shot down. According to a Pentagon memo, there is no additional information available about the description of that object.

While camping out in Las Vegas, the 27-foot long wiener had its catalytic converter stolen. The crew became aware of the theft on Friday morning, when they couldn’t get it started before for a 10AM appearance at a supermarket. It was then towed to a truck-rental facility where mechanics installed a “temporary” catalytic converter.

Dave Grohl, the newest Crown Royal spokesman, performed an invite-only show for the liquor company. “If you’re wondering why I’m here,” he said with a grin, “I’ve had a long and fruitful relationship with Crown Royal.” He played a raw, stripped back set featuring four of his biggest hits in “Times Like These”, “My Hero”, “Best of You” and “Everlong”.
Dave Grohl is bringing Foo Fighters back on the road this summer, and while no dates in Chicago are confirmed yet, we are crossing our fingers that he’ll stop by a pay a visit sooner rather than later.
