For years, millions have stumbled upon the Rainforest Cafe downtown thinking that they are about to score the dankest kush of their entire life. Instead, they were given stale chicken tenders. Now that the Rainforest Cafe is gone, a battle for which dispensary is going to move in is taking shape.

Robert Brown, a neighborhood resident, had asked the board to reject the dispensary’s application, questioning Progressive Treatment Solutions’ role in its partnership with BioPharm to take over the former restaurant site at 605 N. Clark St. Illinois law bars dispensaries from opening within 1,500 feet of an existing weed shop except in the case of ownership by a social equity applicant, a legislative effort to increase minority ownership in the booming industry. Four dispensaries are now operating within 1,500 feet of the proposed shop, and PTS, which initially proposed the plan on its own, without partners, didn’t qualify as a social equity firm.

We’re not exactly hunting experts at the Q101 Morning Crew, but we were staggered at the total of dead deer from the first weekend of riffle hunting season. 52,354 deer were “harvested” over the weekend. That is somehow up from 48,964 that were axed at this time last year.

Thanks to our friends at WGN, who have tabulated the deer per county.

Fellas, hold your lady a little tighter tonight. If you scored tickets to The 1975 at night three of Twisted XMas this year, your girl could soon belong to Matty Healy (which is better than belonging to the streets, we think).

Just remember, you could try as hard as you want, but you’ll never be charming like Matty. Never.

Just remember, you could always be dumber. A Florida woman is taking legal action against the proprietors of those glorious cheese shells because she feels like the instructions printed alongside the mac & cheese don’t live up to their end of the deal. Amanda Ramirez claims the statement on the bottom left-hand corner of the box that notes the product is “ready in 3½ minutes” is false and misleading because the product takes longer. The directions on the back of the package detail four steps in preparing the macaroni and cheese, and the lawsuit says that one of the steps, microwaving the food, takes 3 1/2 minutes.

Per KIRO 7, “She accuses the company of violating state and federal laws against deceptive and unfair trade practices, fraud, false and misleading advertising, breach of express warranty, negligent misrepresentation and unjust enrichment, according to the newspaper.”

Now let’s all take a moment of silence and think of the lawyer that spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in law school and now has to defend mac & cheese instructions in a court of law.

A man who looks like he’d be really into energy drinks and leaving hateful comments towards women on the Internet is finding out that downing a dozen energy drinks in mere minutes is very bad for your body. The Pokemon-enthusiast hit the Red Bull hard, then followed up the onslaught of energy drinks with a shot of liquor, which caused him to vomit. It was at this moment that he knew he f*cked up.

His pancreas began to “digest itself”, which is the single scariest thing I could possibly imagine. Somehow, it was only after this that he had a “wake-up call” for his lifestyle. The fluid build-up became infected, according to Dr. Bernard Hsu, and his liver and kidneys started to shut down. Doctors treated the unnamed gamer, who reportedly vomited on a nurse’s shoes, with IV fluids and antibiotics before releasing him, Hsu said. 

Denny’s wants to help Americans by selling a T-shirt that doubles as a year-long breakfast subscription. The Everyday Value Tee has a unique QR code sewn into the shirt that will act as a pass to get you free breakfast for 365 days. The meal includes two eggs and two bacon strips or sausage links, as well as a choice of two buttermilk pancakes, one slice of French toast, or a biscuit and gravy.

There will only be 150 shirts released, which launch at midnight (12 a.m. EST/9 p.m. PST) on Nov. 24 at DinerDrip.com. May the odds be in your favor.
