Florida (!) Cross-Dressing Man Wanted For Leaving Women’s Underwear On Stranger’s Cars

Florida police are searching for a cross-dressing man who has been leaving pantyhose and women’s underwear on cars across the state.

According to police, the unidentified half naked cross-dressing man has been leaving underwear on vehicles in various parking lots across the state.

The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office released a picture of the unidentified man on their Facebook page. In the photo, the man can be seen wearing orange women’s underwear and a t-shirt as he gets into a black car with no shoes on.

“We need to identify him before this escalates to a more serious situation,” Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly said in the Facebook post.

via News 6 Orlando:

“To be so bold in the middle of the day to do something like this. We want to identify this individual so we can reach out to him and make contact,” Steve Brandt, with the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office, said.

Brandt is looking into the case after an anonymous complaint was filed two days ago. In the complaint, it said the man was tying pantyhose to Houligan’s employee vehicles in the parking lot.

“We don’t know if this is a local person. We don’t know if it’s somebody traveling through town and stops in areas and does this. It did happen over multiple days, so, we think it’s probably somebody in this area,” Brandt said.

Furthermore, the report states that the man has followed Houligan’s employees from the nearby Home Depot parking lot to the back door of the restaurant.

However, despite all this, authorities said the man has yet to break the law, but police still want talk to him to get an understanding of his odd behavior.

“This behavior in and among itself could be many different things,” Brandt said. “We would like to identify this person and talk to them in case this behavior were to escalate into something else.”

So…Rob Lowe Fought Bigfoot In His New Reality TV Show…

Actor Rob Lowe, who is busy filming his new A&E documentary series The Lowe Files, says an encounter in the Ozarks with the mythical “Bigfoot” or a related creature left him fearing for his life.

What Happened?

Lowe, 53, said he was filming The Lowe Files in the Ozarks (located primarily in Arkansas, Missouri and Oklahoma) when an encounter with a “wood ape” left him “lying on the ground thinking I was going to be killed.”

“I’m fully aware that I sound like a crazy, Hollywood kook right now,” Lowe told Entertainment Weekly.

Lowe said he was in the woods filming his new show, where he and his two sons explore mysterious phenomenon across the country, looking for the legendary “wood ape.”

“A wood ape is a the local vernacular for a Sasquatch or a Bigfoot,” he explained. “This is what I love about our show. We have fun with all of this.

“We hit the bullseye between true believer and skeptic in a fun way. [The locals] talk to you about the wood ape in all seriousness. If you call it a Bigfoot or a Sasquatch, they roll their eyes…as if that makes it less outrageous.”

As Lowe tells it, things took a scary turn when the wood ape began searching for them.

“We’re 100 miles from the nearest town,” he said. “We spent 45 minutes on the most rugged, brutal mountain trailers. It’s one in the morning. There are a lot of serious former military men with loaded weapons, then something starts approaching our camps that is defying their orders to stop and their warnings that [they were] armed.”

Lowe doesn’t go into detail about how the encounter concluded, choosing instead to save that for the episode, which is the one-hour season finale of the new series.

The former Parks & Rec star describes the show as a mix between Anthony Bourdain and Scooby Doo.

“I watch [shows like these] hoping to believe, because a world in which Bigfoot exists and aliens exist, to me, is more interested and fun,” he said.


The Lowe Files

The Lowe Files is a new A&E documentary series featuring actor Rob Lowe and his two sons, Matthew and John Owen, exploring mysterious phenomena across the country. The nine-episode first season will premiere on A&E on August 2nd.

Tailgate Games: Top 10 Fun Tailgate Games To Play This Summer

0

It’s summer 2017 baby, and it’s tailgate season. No matter what the occasion is that got you off the couch and soaking up the sun, what matters is how you tailgate the event. Tailgating is an art form, and what makes a good tailgate great?– Friends? Maybe.– Great food? Possibly. — A plethora of drinking games that results in making friends more likable and food taste better? Yup, purty sure.

This will not be the conventional list of drinking games you are used to seeing. I will give you a comprehensive glance into the complexity that is this article on tailgate drinking. It is a very serious matter. The first five will be an ode to the classics, a tribute.

Coming second will be a list of the lesser-knowns, which are just as fun.


The Classics

5) Cornhole

Cornhole Tailgate Game

Here are the official rules on how to play Cornhole, just add drinking every time the other team scores:

The Cornhole / Corn Toss match shall be played until the first team of contestants reaches (or exceeds) 21 points at the completion of an inning. The winning team does not need to win by two or more points.

The Cornhole / Corn Toss match can never end in the middle of an inning. Thus, if a team that pitches first reaches or exceeds 21 points, the game can not end until the other side is allowed to pitch all of their corn bags and the inning is completed.

If the Cornhole / Corn Toss match is tied at 21 or more at the end of an inning, play continues until one team or the other achieves a higher score at the end of an inning and wins the match.

The game shall be played to 21 unless a team scores 7 or more points at the end of an inning before their opponents score any points. It this case the game is a skunk and the team that scores 7 or more points wins the match.

4) KanJam

KanJam Tailgate

When it comes to drinking, the same rules as Cornhole apply but here is how KanJam is played:

You and a partner stand at opposite kans (which are placed 50 feet apart in regulation play) and alternate throwing and deflecting the disc. Essentially, you and a partner work together to get the disc to do one of three things: hit the kan, go inside of the kan through the top opening or, best of all, go through the kan’s slot opening for an Instant Win. One player throws the disc toward the kan and the other can redirect it.

3) Beer Pong

Shutterstock

It’s safe to assume almost everyone has played or seen a game of beer pong in progress, if not, here is a run down of the rules:

Beer Pong is generally played by teams of two in which each team takes turn throwing a table tennis ball into the other team’s cups. Once a ball lands in a cup, the cup is taken away and the opponent then drinks the contents of the cup. If both teammates hit cups, the balls are rolled back and they get to shoot again. The team that successfully hits all of the opponent’s cups wins the game. Since there are a vast amount of variation on the game, it is good to quickly go over things like racks and bouncing/swatting before the game begins. Winner of the game typically stays on the table and awaits next challenger.This is usually an unspoken rule at house parties (or at least until someone breaks it). When shooting, players must keep their elbows behind the edge of the table.Twice per game, each team can request the cups to be rearranged at the start of their turn.If a ball hits the table and then goes into a cup (even by accident), the cup that the ball goes into is removed, as well as another cup of the defending player’s choice. If there are only 2 cups remaining, the bounce only counts as one cup.

2) Dizzy Bat

The video is self-explanatory. First you cut the handle off of a wiffle-ball bat and fill with beer. As you chug, people count and whatever number they count to when you finish the beer is the number of times you must spin with your forehead on the bat with the barrel (attempting) to touch the floor. After you are finished spinning, try and keep your ground as you swing at the beer can someone pitches to you.

1) Flip Cup

From frat houses to high school parties but not limited to late night television shows, this is one of the most widely-known drinking games to date. Everyone loves a close game of flip cup, not to mention it really gives the saying “the more the merrier” some merit.


Lesser-Knowns

5) Beer duel

It’s simple. Three paces. Drink, then shoot.

4) Slap Cup

The dude in the killer cowboy hat just did my job for me in explaining how to play slap cup. It’s a highly intense, incredibly fun and competitive game. Expect to get a little messy as people get drunker and hence clumsier, that’s half the fun.

3) Wizard Staff

Grab a case of the beer you can drink the quickest and don’t forget a roll of duck tape. You will have something to show for your drinking accomplishments by the end of the day. A goddamn wizard staff that is. When this game is played, it’s a bad day to be a beer. The person with the tallest staff of beers by the end is crowned the winner.

2) Beer Baseball

Beer Baseball Tailgate Game

Here are the rules:

Set up four cups in a row. Each player on the visiting team takes turns shooting. The first glass represents a single, the second a double, the third a triple, and the last a home run. Three misses and you are out. Three outs and the other team is up to bat.

Game follows as regular baseball and runs are scored in the same way (except that you have to keep track of the runners on base in your head). Drinking happens in the following manner:

  • Fill the cups with beer.
  • If a player makes the shot, he must drink the contents of the cups behind the one he made. For example, if he hits a single, he must drink the remaining three shot glasses full of beer. If he hits a triple, he only has to drink one. If he gets an out, he must drink all four.
  • The opposite team must drink for each run the other team scores.

1) Edward 40-Hands

This game is played usually to start off. You tape both of your hands to a 40 oz, or a 40 oz for each hand depending on how coherent you feel like being afterwards. You physically cannot do anything until those beers are gone, so drink up. This game obviously isn’t limited to only beer. Drink whatever it is you want to tape to your hands I don’t judge.

Twitter Is Outraged After The Release Of The New Jumanji Trailer: Funny Tweets 2017

0
0

So today the trailer for Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle! hit the mean streets of twitter. After watching, the old people of the pre-Y2k era who had come to love the original Jumanji, starring Robin Williams, were foaming at the mouth to take a sh0t at the new trailer.


The original Jumanji tells a tale of  two kids, who find and play a magical board game. They accidentally release a man (Robin Williams) who was trapped for decades in it. Also released into the world are a host of dangers that can only be stopped by finishing the game.

…….Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle! takes place during highschool detention. The kids discover an old video game console and are drawn into the game’s jungle setting, literally becoming the adult avatars they chose. What they discover is that you don’t just play Jumanji – you must survive it.

It seems like they changed it from a board game to a video game in a very “attempting to stay hip with the kids” fashion. That’s like thinking the video from the ring wasn’t working so they remake the movie, but instead of the the video being passed around they live-stream it on instagram. C’mon.

What I will say though is that if I had never seen Jumanji (1995), I would without a doubt love the concept of this movie. It looks really funny, and has a ridiculous all-star cast including Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, Karen Gillan, Nick Jonas and Alex Wolff. This will be a must-see for parents who want to take their kids out to the movies, just don’t let them see the original first.

I want to wish the cast & crew the best of luck with the success of this movie, but having said that, here’s twitter’s funniest reactions.

A Title IX investigation into an alleged sexual assault at Sigma Alpha Epsilon at the University of Southern Mississippi has concluded.

The investigation began in early November 2016, when the SAE at Souther Miss was suspended after a possible violation of student conduct on homecoming weekend in October of 2016.

The violation an alleged sexual assault. The report, which was obtained through a public records request, detailed the female victim’s account of the night.

via WDAM:

The female victim was located in a room in the house semi-conscious, no clue as to her whereabouts. According to the report, she appeared to have been drugged.

The report says a friend who was looking for the victim at the party found her and took her to her house. She told police she checked on the victim throughout the evening. On Sunday morning, the victim woke up with no recollection of the events that evening, but did say she had some vaginal bleeding.

According to the report, the victim’s health and mentality began to decline. The report states she was nauseous, and unable to sit up or walk. The report states that the victim admitted she was ‘probably raped’ but was speaking with ‘a disregard to her life’ and ‘not caring what happened to her.’

The victim, who remains unidentified, filed her complaint on November 18, 2016, while the incident took place in the overnight hours of October 29th into October 30, 2016.

In accordance with the SAE National Office, the local Alumni Advisory Board and the Office of Greek Life, the fraternity has underwent a membership review that resulted in five members being expelled from the fraternity, five members being placed on inactive status, and 15 members being placed on probation.

In total, twenty-five members of the SAE chapter at Souther Mississippi were reprimanded.

Chief Communication Officer Jim Coll released the following statement regarding the conclusion of the investigation:

“The Title IX investigation has concluded. We cannot speak to the specific results of that investigation, as the information is an educational record and is protected from disclosure under the federal law FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act).”

SAE is under social probation until 2018.

Gillian Anderson Calls Out ‘X-Files’ On Lack of Female Writers & Directors

The X-Files star Gillian Anderson has seen quite a few mysteries come and go during 10 seasons on the show. But one mystery that remains unanswered is the lack of female writers and directors employed by the series in all that time.

Earlier this week, The X-Files announced its slate of writers for the upcoming eleventh season, all of which are men. This fits into the show’s track record that has seen just six women (including Anderson) receive a writing credit in 208 episodes. Fans quickly took to social media to voice their displeasure with the show’s male-dominated structure. On Thursday, Anderson joined them by noting that the issue extends beyond the writers room.

The two directors referenced in her tweet are herself and Michelle MacLaren, who has directed some of the very best episodes of Game of ThronesBreaking Bad and The Walking Dead. People rightfully have questions when it comes to the hiring practices of Fox and show creator Chris Carter throughout 10-plus seasons and two feature films. I mean, just one single outside female hire? I don’t even understand how that happens based solely on sheer numbers.

Viewers were already skeptical of another season of The X-Files given the revival’s uneven quality. The controversy surrounding the lack of diversity behind the scenes is only adding fuel to the fire. Hopefully, the uproar inspires changes going forward.

For now, season 11 of The X-Files is set to debut in 2018.

With July 4th coming soon, people all over American are getting ready to celebrate. Rain or shine, backyards all over the country will be full of meat, beer and fireworks as people enjoy summer’s greatest holiday. If you’re going to do a backyard BBQ correctly, however, you need to keep your guests entertained. How do I entertain my guests, you ask? Well, feed them of course. But also provide them with lawn games to play. Which lawn games are the best? I thought you’d never ask.

5. Kan-Jam

I’m sure this ranks higher on many people’s lists, but not on mine. Yeah, it’s pretty fun to watch, but it takes up a ton of space and people get way too excited playing. Did somebody just get stabbed? No, they are yelling because they hit a kan with the disk, bro. I also can’t throw a frisbee which makes this game all but impossible for me. I’m sure it’s more fun if you can do that.

4. Croquet

I’ll be honest, I don’t really know the rules to this one. It looks kind of fun, and it also looks super cool on your lawn. Google the rules before hand and look like an expert when the tournament begins. So tie your sweater around your neck, dusk off your penny loafers, and get ready to croquet.

3. Wiffle Ball

If you want to involve as many people as possible, this is the game for you. Teams of five, 10, 25, it doesn’t matter. Everybody can get involved and swing for the fences. Use a hat for bases, throw the ball at people, argue balls and strikes; it’s all fun. It takes a coordinated effort to make one of these games happen, but it will be the highlight of the party if you get it done.

2. Spike Ball

Instagram Photo

If you are trying to burn some calories at the party, spikeball is for you. Get ready to move around a ton, dive on the grass, and blame your partner anytime you lose a point. The rules are simple, the setup is easy, and the fun is endless. Recommend not playing on the driveway or next to a pool.

1. Cornhole

Instagram Photo

The all-time favorite. Cornhole is so simple yet so entertaining. It’s the only game on this list that can be played with beer in hand, and it involves very little physical motion. I think you could play it sitting down if you wanted. Grab a partner, set up a bracket, and kill the whole afternoon beating everybody. I’m sure you practiced this a ton at rush parties in college. Now go put it to good use.

PlayerUnknown: Full Story & Must-See Details Of Brendan Greene

0
0

Brendan “PlayerUnknown” Greene stole the spotlight during a 15-minute interview with Kotaku during E3 when he discussed his history working with open-world games and his plans working as the creative director of Bluehole.

If you don’t know who PlayerUnknown is, he created the increasingly popular and trendy blockbuster hit, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, or PUBG in short.

Who is PlayerUnknown?

Full name: Brendan Green
Alias: PlayerUnknown
Born: Undisclosed
Residence: South Korea
Nationality: Irish
Occupation: Creative Director at Bluehole
Known For: Creating PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, working on H1Z1 and creating popular mods on the Arma

How Did PlayerUnknown Get Here?

Brendan Greene started his career as a freelancing photographer and designer, which he spent 15 years in the industry doing. Eventually, he came to want to change the first-person shooter genre. In an interview with Glixel, he confesses that he “was playing a lot of Call of Duty and Assassin’s Creed, and I just didn’t enjoy them. They were great games, but they weren’t my type of game,” he says over a Skype call from his office in Seoul. “I just wanted to make something that I would like playing.”

He then pursued a love interest in Brazil in his 30s, became married for two years and divorced. In his loneliness and longing to go home, he found solstice in playing DayZ and Arma between working a day job accumulating money to return to his native Ireland.

He started his modding career in survival MMO games in Arma 2, in which he created a popular mod for the game called DayZ: Battle Royale, an offshoot of the popular mod DayZ.  The game quickly blew up in popularity, becoming a fan hit with the help of famous YouTubers and streamers like FRANKIEonPC before long.

Greene noted in an interview with PCGamesN that his desire to create this new mod was “because i found a lot of the standard shooter games quite boring, especially the competitive games.” He cites the “small maps” and knowing every spot of each map as being a key problem behind that boredom. He wanted to make “a random game, where you never knew what you might find and how it was going to end,” which gave the game a spark of unique flair to it. Before the standalone version of DayZ released, his mod was one of the most popular DayZ mods available in the Arma franchise.

Arma mods were unusual to install, allowing only tech-savvy players to play them originally. Greene wanted to expand the player base for the game type in a way anyone could access. Greene then transitioned his development efforts for Battle Royale onto the Arma 3 platform when the standalone version of DayZ released. According to a PC Gamer interview with Greene, his mod on the Arma 3 platform had over 200,000 downloads and around 50,000 active players.

Sony Online Entertainment contracted him as a consultant for their upcoming H1Z1 title shortly after DayZ came out and stayed on the team until February of 2016. After his work with them, he was contacted by Chang-han Kim of Bluehole Studio, who admired the mods Greene had made. Soon after, Greene became the creative director of Bluehole and moved out to South Korea to live on-site.

COED

Ever since then, he’s been working on the game with a growing developer team from both South Korea and Madison, Wisconsin sized at around 90 people. His team of coders is passionate, with some of them working “14-hour days, though i have to clarify that I don’t expect them to work 14-hour days” according to the PCGamesN interview.

Now, PlayerUnknown’s Batllegrounds regularly sees average viewership figures on Twitch around 65,000 at any given time, with the average peak viewers being around 130,000 in a day. The game regularly rounds the top of the list of best-sellers on the Steam Store and regularly supports around 100,000 active players at a given time, more than any other game aside from DOTA 2 and CS:GO.

All of this popularlity has shed an overwhelming amount of public attention to him, especially following his exposure at the E3 conference. Greene said he’s pleased with the expansion of his brand but misses the professional anonymity of working behind-the-scenes. A Kotaku interview revealed his hidden desire to stay in the shadows and be less known, remorseful that he’s a “Player-Somewhat-More-Well-Known now.”

“I miss having the anonymity. I liked being at conventions and hearing people talk about me while I was standing right next to them, saying, ‘Yeah, that guy is a fucking asshole.'”

Not even the massive wealth he’s earned from the over $100 million in revenue the company has earned in sales has made him boastful or arrogant. Business Insider called the fresh millionaire a “friendly, charismatic gentleman.”

In the future, Greene wants to refine the game further in preparation for the game’s official release on console. Bluehole plans to allow cross-platform gaming with the Xbox One, mod integrations and an open developer platform for the game. If you’re looking for it on the PlayStation 4 though, cross-platform gaming may be out of the picture given Sony‘s jaded history with politicizing past efforts from other companies trying to do so. Whether the game will even come out for the PlayStation 4 isn’t clear, either.

Greene’s work has revolutionized open-world gaming. His work has brought monumental changes in the scene and created a new gaming trend.

WHAT A SAVAGE. Your boy is straight swooning. Nothing like a fearless beautiful girl that can whip your ass.

I take you to hell on Earth Syria, where the fight against ISIS forges on thanks to brave soldiers of all shapes and sizes, ages, and genders.

And while COED appreciates, loves, and respects all the troops, today we want to focus on one particularly badass one.

In a video posted by to Twitter by journalist Hemze Hamza, a Kurdish sniper with Women’s Protections Units can be seen engaged in a shootout in Raqqa City, Syria. She can be seen exchanging fire with the miserable ISIS bastard, when suddenly a bullet whizzes past her head, crashing into the wall next to her.

Her reaction?

@sergermed Twitter

SAVAGE!

I’m in love.

So here’s to you, random Kurdish freedom fighter, for you are more beautiful than I ever will be and have bigger balls than I will ever have.

Isaiah Thomas & Lance Stephenson Beef On Instagram Over Paul George

What can be more funny and entertaining than an Instagram beef? I definitely enjoy a little cyber-bullying and bickering between two NBA players. In fact, the cyber brawl seems to appeal to many, as there are way over thousands of comments on Lance Stephenson’s controversial post. In short, Stephenson, a teammate of Paul George of the Pacers, wants him to stay on the team instead of looking for free agency or a trade. On the other hand, Isaiah Thomas of the Boston Celtics focuses on persuading the young George to join ranks with the New England region ball club.

The Celtics were rumored to have an interest in George during last season’s trade deadline, and their interest is still pretty high. One report claims the Celtics will send a package to Indy if they are able to sign Gordon Hayward in free agency.

Knowing George could be a potential future teammate, Thomas stirs some fun by messing with Stephenson on Instagram.

Although I would love to see the Celtics battle the Pacers during the upcoming regular season, it won’t be as fun if George leaves the team. He basically puts the team on his back, toiling through games, scoring a load and hustling to get his team to the post-season. Let’s see what happens. Will the Celtics get PG13 or some other team?

Ten years ago today, the world was first introduced to the iPhone. On June 29, 2007, Steve Jobs let loose another apple innovation. And many people have become desperately hooked, standing in long lines, doling out hundreds upon hundreds of dollars at a time to buy the latest iPhone.

Phone addiction is all too real. Some people will sacrifice a whole week’s pay to keep up with the latest telecommunications and multimedia fads. This is a testament to the endless capabilities of an entrepreneur in a capitalist market; figure a way to make your product appear “hip, “so that it effectively makes purchasing this item a social necessity, and then every year, come out with a new slightly altered model and watch the money flow in, baby! It’s beautiful what well-placed peer pressure marketing can do.

All this talk about multi-billion dollar innovations is making the creativity sector in my brain buzz with ideas. I’ll get back to you with something you’ll need to buy read, ingest, inject, whatever…

Venus Williams Blamed For Fatal Car Crash That Killed 78-Year-Old Man

Tennis legend Venus Williams has been blamed for a fatal car crash that claimed the life of a 78-year-old man in Florida.

What Happened?

Williams, 37, was at a major intersection in Palm Beach Gardens on June 9 when her car was T-boned by another vehicle that had the right of way, a police report said. A passenger in the second vehicle, Jerome Barson, 78, was sent to the ICU with head injuries and died two weeks later, according to TMZ.

Barson’s wife, who was behind the wheel of the other car, told police that Williams sped out at the corner of Ballenisles Drive and Northlake Boulevard. She argued that this did not give her enough time to slow down. As a result, her car hit the front-left corner of Williams’ SUV.

Williams countered to police that she had tried to make it through the traffic intersection, but that when traffic slowed she was left stranded in the middle of the room. According to the report, police ultimately sided with Barson.

“[Venus] is at fault for violating the right of way of [the other driver],” it read.

Barson’s wife was also sent to the hospital with broken bones and other injuries. She has not yet been identified.

The report said that there was no evidence that Williams had been drinking or had taken any substances that may have impacted her judgment.

Williams is expected to play in the Wimbledon final next week. If charges are pressed, she will likely have to forfeit the tournament.

This is not the first time Williams has had trouble on the roads.

In September 2009 she was stopped in a 2009 Mercedes Benz by the Jupiter Police Department and cited for driving with no proof of her insurance.

She was issued a $116 fine, which was increased to $139 in December due to late payment.

On July 3, 2013 her 2010 Toyota was involed in a crash on I-95 in Palm Beach County, and was cited for driving on a suspended or revoked license.

Her license was suspended on May 8, 2013, for failure to pay fines. She paid a $163 fine after that incident.

Venus Williams is an American professional tennis player who is generally regarded as one of the all-time greats of women’s tennis. She turned pro at the age of 14 and has since posted a career singles record of 751-212 with 49 career titles.

A man has been arrested after trying to drive his vehicle into a crowd of people in front of a mosque in Paris, according to police. No one was injured in the attack which took place in the Parisian suburb of Creteil.

What Happened?

Police say a man attempted to drive his car into a crowd of people outside a mosque in Paris. No one was injured in the attack and police said the man’s motivations remain unclear. He was not successful in reaching the crowd due to barriers placed around the mosque.

According to Le Parisien newspaper, the man said he had wanted to avenge attacks linked to Islamic State that have killed dozens in Paris over the past few years.

An investigation into the attempted attack will be conducted by a regular police department rather than an anti-terrorism unit.

Last week, a British man was charged with with terrorism-related murder and attempted murder after allegedly driving a rented van into a crowd of Muslims leaving Finsbury Park mosque on the night of June 19.


Paris

Paris, France’s capital, is a major European city and a global center for art, fashion, gastronomy and culture. Its 19th-century cityscape is crisscrossed by wide boulevards and the River Seine.

National Handshake Day Memes 2017: Best Jokes, Funny Photos & Images

National Handshake Day is always the last Thursday of June. On this day, it’s time to put differences asides and shake hands. Imagine the world we’d live in if all enemies patched up their differences for one day in the name of peace, understanding, and one damn firm handshake.

June 29, 2017, is the day we celebrate the shaking of hands in the United States. But really, it’s about a mutual connection between humans on the grounds of hand-to-hand contact. This embracing communicative form can be celebrated in any corner of the globe, yet it has retained particular prominence in the good ol’ U.S.A.

Can you put your differences aside and shake the hand of someone who didn’t vote for your favored war hawk? Imagine Anti-Fa shaking the hand of a Trump supporter and vice versa. C’mon, political warriors of University of California, Berkley. It’s time to leave hate-mongering and mob-mentality tactics in the past, break down the walls of ideological segregation and individual suppression, and learn to cope with a world that contains more than one social dogma. Only then, can two competing polar opposites co-exist and prosper in a dynamic and evolving democratic process.

A handshake is a bridge between humans. It can effectively secure your role in the company if applied properly. It inspires and projects confidence. And can very well determine whether you get the job or not.

Then again, I know this guy who shakes everyone’s hand in the room multiple times whenever he drinks too much Coors Light. Every five minutes, it’s another handshake. And it could get a bit repetitive and irritating after a while.

Enough with the seriousness of life. Break out dem memes now!

Where would Peter Parker be without his trusty camera? That web-slinging mutant humanoid-arachnid may turn to a life of crime to supplement his income. No…Spiderman would never do that….or would he?
