Woman Tweets What Her Boyfriend Says In His Sleep & It’s The Most Entertaining Thing We’ve Seen All Day

When you spend the night with someone for the first time, you have no idea what to expect. Are they going to make you cuddle them until they fall asleep? Will your limb fall off because they refuse to move their head from your shoulder? Are they going to get up in the middle of the night, mistake your closet for a bathroom, and pee all over your coats? You’ll never know until the next morning. And we hope you wake up to the smell of bacon instead of urine.

Luckily this woman hasn’t woken up to her favorite jacket doused in urine just yet, but she does have to deal with a sh*t ton of sleep talking from her nacho-cheese loving boyfriend. She’s since documented a bunch of his sleep chats via Twitter, and later took them to Imgur. Since posting a few of the messages, his subconscious musings have gone viral. Luckily, he’s cool with it.

Here’s some of his best moments:

Please keep them coming – for us.

Simple Plan Taking One For the Team

Simple Plan, the Canadian emo rock group who were most popular ten years ago released their new album today. The record is titled Taking One for the Team–an analogy I can relate to after writing this article myself, rather than giving it to an intern, after realizing that they’d probably quit if I told them to write anything about Simple Plan.

Please do not judge me or my already questionable previous work for this article. I’m simply writing about the biggest music releases of the day, and believe it or not, Taking One for the Team is the biggest album of the week.

You see, Simple Plan has a loyal group of fans who’ve helped support the rock group even though emo music and pop-punk is largely dead. Need proof? Somehow they’re #1 on the Hardcore/Punk charts over in Amazon Canada. That’s not quite platinum status, but it’s something.

Hey, at least they’re not making fun of Taylor Swift or in debt right?

Sorority Sister Sends Email About Not Bidding “Weird Looking” Girls, Internet Hates Her

An email from a Bloomsburg University Phi Iota Chi sorority sister explaining why they want to recruit attractive women has gone viral. And wouldn’t you know it? People are trashing on them for that opinion.

But before we get into the email itself (which is really just a Facebook message) let’s give you a little background. We can tell you that the sorority in question is Phi Iota Chi (Pixie), a local sorority that exists at Bloomsburg University. As for Bloomsburg, it’s a school in Pennsylvania known for its parties.

OK caught up? Let’s take a look.

Bloomsburg Sorority Email

Not too bad, right? Honestly I was ready for a scorched earth take on how ugly girls make the sorority worse and that they’re headed downhill because of all the “weird girls” they’ve bid.

WATCH: Helicopter Crash Video In Pearl Harbor, Hawaii

Helicopter Hawaii Crash Video

Yesterday a helicopter touring Pearl Harbor and the area around the U.S.S. Arizona crashed into shallow water, and a tourist filmed the whole thing on video.

First things first: all five of passengers onboard are currently alive. One is in critical condition but the other four seemed to holding up as well as one could be. According to NPR “people at the scene, posting on social media accounts, said the crash victims appeared to be conscious and were moving their arms when taken away on stretchers.”

After the crash, bystanders immediately jumped into the water and helped to save the victims who weren’t able to get out of the chopper themselves.

“I took off my shirt and dove in,” he said, describing how he, a Navy sailor, a federal police officer and another man took turns diving to the submerged helicopter and trying to free a passenger with a knife. “He was strapped into his seat in the back of the aircraft.”

They eventually freed the teenage passenger [source].

The helicopter was operated by a company called Genesis Aviation who fly out of Honolulu International Airport.

Here’s an interview with the guy who shot the video.

Ramarni Ball: Hottest Photos of Floyd Mayweather’s New Girlfriend

Ramarni Ball hot photos

Ramarni Ball is reportedly Floyd Mayweather’s new girlfriend, which probably wouldn’t be as newsworthy if she wasn’t 19-years-old and he 38. But alas, here we are!

The former professional boxer has four kids, all ranging in age from 11 to 15, making this even more disturbing. On the bright side, Ramarni, who is presumably a student and not doing anything else with her life because she’s barely an adult, is beautiful. Does that make it any less creepy? No, but it makes it easier for us to understand… we guess.

According to Mirror, the two met during a fan event at Bar Sport in Cannock on February 12. Apparently she spent more than $600 to get in and meet him. Just days later the two jetted off to Amsterdam.

So, that was fast! And slightly scarring. Check out her hottest photos below.

PSU Students Prove Cancer Will Not Win In 46-Hour Dance MaraTHON

Thon 2016 Photo

Today starts the best three days for a Penn State student’s year: it’s officially THON weekend. For 46 hours, students, alumni, and supporters will prove that cancer cannot and will not win. Over 15,000 students will volunteer to stand in the Bryce Jordan Center for a 46-hour dance marathon with no sitting and no sleeping for the fight against pediatric cancer. Throughout the weekend, there are performances of song and dance, talent shows by the sports teams, a pep rally, speeches from the families who have suffered, tributes to students who have passed from this horrible disease, and other heart wrenching and tear jerking presentations.

At the end of the 46 hours, the dancers are finally allowed to sit, where the reveal of the THON total is displayed, number by number.

Last year, Penn State raised $13,026,653.23, and in 2014 we raised $13,343,517.33 all for the kids. I remember the look on my dads face when I told him. “Thirteen million?! Don’t you mean Thirteen thousand?” However, the effort that Penn Staters, alumni, and other supporters put in to see the smiles on their THON child’s face will forever be priceless.

This year, two out of the three canning weekends were cancelled, so donations mainly came from alternate fundraising and what we call THONvelopes (requests to donate through the mail or on a website). This will severely impact the THON total this year.

[Editor’s note: Sadly a member of a PSU sorority Vitalyia “Tally” Seport died this year in a car crash on her way back from a canning event. There will likely be a memorial of sorts for her this weekend.]

However, people often lose sight of what THON is all about in the crazy competition that is trying to raise more money than other orgs. What people forget to realize is that THON is not about any certain club or organization raising the most amount of money. It is not about the dollar signs. THON is not about promoting sisterhood or brotherhood. THON is about giggling with kids of all ages all year long, seeing the smiles on the faces of children in which you put there, making bright memories in a situation where bright spots are few and far between, understanding that giving up your social time or friends here and there is not actually missing out on the “best four years of your life” and that in your young lives, you have gained devotion to a united fight that one day you will know you helped find a cure for. That is what THON is about.

I heard this beautiful quote when I experienced my first THON as a freshman, “Those things that we do for ourselves dies with us. Those that we do for others and humanity live on and become immortal.” So this weekend let’s keep sight of what THON is really about and dance our hearts away, for the kids, for the cure, and for the glory!

Kevin Hart’s first comedy attempt was back in the early 2000’s, and took place at The Laff House in Philly.

This 8th Grade Quarterback Was Already Offered a Scholarship From The University of Miami

Middle school was rough, right? You’re in that really awkward phase where your teeth are all f*cked up, you’re still growing into your body and are always looking awkward because of it, and your hormones are all over the place, making it difficult to even look at the opposite sex without it being the most horrifying experience in the world.

For most, eighth grade is a tough year – unless, that is, you’re Harrison Bailey.

As his middle school’s football quarterback, the kid is already killing it. Not only has he had a highlight reel since he could basically walk, he’s also already been offered a scholarship from the University of Miami’s head coach Mark Richt. That’s pretty damn impressive – ask (literally) anyone.

Here’s what he looked like at 12:

And at 10:

WTF?! Is this some kind of joke? Bailey has already publicly thanked the coach for his first offer.

Standing at 6’3 and weighing in at 175 pounds, the kid is going to have a ton of options by the time he hits senior year. Hell, maybe he’ll just skip college and head straight to the NFL by then! At this rate, it could definitely happen.

With a stage name like “Tila Tequila,” no one should expect this woman to make good decisions—it’s something the former reality star has only proved to us time and time again. Her most recent debacle took place on Twitter, where the 34-year-old model and singer (?) defended her “right” to use racial slurs, like the N-word.

Yes, really.

And, like that neighbor who calls the cops whenever you play music after the sun sets, she’s blaming it all on rap and hip hop:

Shia LaBeouf is Riding in an Elevator for 24 Hours & People Are Actually Live Streaming It

These days, art is questionable. Obviously the classics can still be trusted – Van Gogh, Picasso, Monet – but when some a**hole tries selling a large piece of canvas with splattered paint on it, it’s not only irritating, it’s insane. A child could do that – a monkey! And don’t give me some bullish*t explanation about how it’s representative of how you felt when your dad abandoned you, and how art is what you make it. False! FALSE!

Anyway, Shia LaBeouf is the latest d-bag to take advantage of the millennial art scene. He is currently riding in an elevator for 24 straight hours and people are actually live streaming it. Take a look:

So, what the f*ck is going on here? According to people who are actually following this so-called “performance art experience,” Shia is riding an Oxford elevator with fellow genius artists like Nastja Rönkkö and Luke Turnerwill from 9 a.m. local time Friday to 9 a.m. Saturday. But for what reason?

Good question. We have no clue. But apparently you’ll be able to ask him whatever’s on your mind after it’s over.

“Visitors will be able to join LaBeouf, Rönkkö and Turner inside the elevator during [the 24 hours], and are invited to address the artists, the debating chamber, and the internet, so that their collective voices may form an extended, expansive and egalitarian Oxford Union address,” the description of the live feed on YouTube reads

On another note, he’s allowed bathroom breaks, so if you are watching, you can rest assured knowing you won’t have to witness him popping a squat in a crowded elevator.

Although, it would be way more artistic if he did.

Looking for this year’s Oscar winners predictions? Look no further than Bing (yes, that Bing)–the search engine that has historically crushed the finicky guessing game of which actors, actresses, and movies will be chosen to win an Academy Award.

Last year, Bing correctly predicted 84% of the winners (20 out of 24 categories). In 2014, the search engine correctly predicted 87% (21 out of 25 categories). So if you’re thinking about entering a box game to win some prize money, you should probably do your research and take a good look at this chart below.

But before we reveal the full list of predictions, let’s cut to the chase. Is Leonardo DiCaprio finally going to win an Oscar? The smart money says yes. He has a 73% chance of winning, while the next most likely winner (Matt Damon from The Martian) is only at 9%.

The one thing that Bing can’t predict is whether or not he’ll bring his vape to the Academy Awards.

19-Year-Old Cornell Student Is Suing NY State For The Drinking Age

Matthew Uhalde Lawuit Info

Facebook

Matthew Uhalde, a 19-year-old graduate student at Cornell University, is suing New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman because of claims that the 21-year-old legal drinking age “ostracized and excluded” him from his graduate student peers.

According to an article that Matthew wrote for Cornell’s paper, The Tab, he decided to sue AG Schneiderman because of a particular event he was rejected from:

I received an invitation to a grad student social at the Big Red Barn last week, only to be thrown out. The manager said it was a liability having me there, even if I didn’t drink. That was the impetus of all this.

The lawsuit states that, “Mr. Uhlade feels ostracized and excluded. The State’s minimum drinking age prevents him with associating with his classmates and peers. This is causing Mr. Uhalde to to experience emotional distress.”

So why is he suing the state of New York? Good question. Believe it or not, the legal drinking age is actually determined on a state-by-state basis. The reason that all states have chosen 21 as the minimum age is because of the National Minimum Legal Drinking Act, signed in 1984. A very non-chill bro named Senator Frank Lautenberg from New Jersey decided that it’d be a good idea to scare states into following his law or risk losing 10% of their federal highway construction budget.

 


There Are Nuns Running an Illegal Marijuana Operation in California Right Now & They’re Making Bank

There are two nuns running a lucrative pot-growing business in California right now. And, in case you thought you missed something, no, the use of recreational marijuana is not currently legal in the state of California. So, correction: there are two nuns running a lucrative and very much illegal pot-growing business in California right now—one they are willing to talk to reporters about.

“Everything we’re doing is illegal,” Sister Kate cheerfully told ABC 7 News in Denver. “Those plants you just saw in my garage; they’re illegal. The making of the salves is illegal.” The marijuana Sister Kate and Darcy grow is heated in crockpots and distilled into salves in tinctures, which they sell online, on Etsy. It’s an operation that, according to them, brings in $400,000 a year.

And if you’re thinking to yourself, “Hey, aren’t nuns supposed to take a vow of poverty or something?…and not sell drugs?” then, you’d be right. But, you see, these women aren’t really nuns.

“When Congress declared pizza a vegetable, I declared myself a nun,” said Sister (is that fitting here?) Kate because, why not? She says that the idea of sisterhood, that of community and fellowship, is something that they both practice. They also wear the infamous nun habit, which adds an odd air of legitimacy to the whole thing.

Of course, instead of putting their faith in the healing power of Christ, the core belief in this convent is in the healing power of CBD, a chemical found in cannabis—marijuana plants.

We hear that, sister.

This week they’re bringing you UCLA’s Sigma Chi, which is clearly a party house unlike any other. Aside from it already being filled with various UCLA ladies, the space is massive. Like definitely massive enough to host a full-on summer foam party… think about it. And don’t forget to invite us.

Bells Brewery Hopslam

This week marks one of the most important in the craft beer calendar; a week where several breweries release their most sought after beers. These are beers you have heard the name regardless if you have never tried them or craft beer itself. This weekend I am enjoying one of those beers; this weekend Bell’s Brewery Hopslam is What’s on Tap!

I got to be honest; I have not had more than a sip of this brew in several years. I found its growing popularity (and price) outweighed the beer itself; in fact many people within the craft beer industry refer to it as “Hype-Slam.” But I gave it a try and I must say I am pleasantly surprised at this year’s batch, which was packaged entirely in cans.

The beer’s aroma and taste are exactly what one would want and hope from a double IPA, huge citrus flavors of grapefruit and lime (I am guessing one of the six varieties of hops not mentioned is citra). But with this beer there is an added sweetness on both the nose and within each sip which is an almost honey flavor. I am sure this is to balance the beer so that both the 10% ABV is hidden and the typical IPA bitterness kick is not too over-powering. get a lot of honey.

If you are into IPAs you have to give this one a try. Yes you might only need one but it is still worth it. Hopslam is a fantastic beer that pairs well with any food but to get the full enjoyment I recommend drinking it on its own.

Cheers!

MMA Gracie Shamrock Bout Controversy — Looks Like A Low Blow To Us [VIDEO]

Royce Gracie Ken Shamrock low blow

Royce Gracie brought the brawling back to MMA when he took on Ken Shamrock at Houston’s Toyota Center as the main event of Bellator 149. That’s an old-fashioned knee-to-the-groin that helped Gracie win a much-protested TKO over Shamrock.

As you’ll see in the video below, the referee showed the timing of a WWE professional in carefully missing the shot to the groin. Gracie thought, “Well, that must’ve been cool,” and then pummeled Shamrock with plenty more punches. That ended things at 2:22 into the first round. That’s how a 49-year-old MMA fighter beats a 52-year-old man for his first win since 2007.

No apologies from Gracie, either, who later declared: “I’m a fighter. We come from the beginning — no gloves, no rules, no time limits.”

This was supposed to be a big deal remake, too, since it’s been over 20 years since these two went into the ring. Shamrock lost to Gracie at UFC 1, and their bout at UFC 5 ended in a draw after the longest fight in the history of the UFC.

 

Anyway, this was the turning point of a very short fight. Don’t forget this low blow is brought to you by Miller Lite…

Shia LaBeouf’s 24-Hour Elevator Ride Is Over — Watch For His Talk [VIDEO]

Shia LaBeouf Oxford Elevator

Shia LaBeouf has ended his 24-hour ride in an elevator at Oxford University — which was a performance art piece to set up his talk at the esteemed academy later today. You can see that talk via the video later below, which is currently archiving the final moments of Shia’s stay.

The esteemed actor will discuss his long elevator ride, which — in a pretty disappointing twist for a place like Oxford — mainly had people lining up to ride with Shia for a while and take selfies. The high point was when a fellow performance artist asked Shia to punch him in the face.



The punch wasn’t captured on camera, but Shia seemed to think it was as loony as riding in an elevator for 24 hours. Or maybe he was worried that the performance artist’s vision involved a lawsuit against a celebrity.

We wish that somebody would give us a chance to punch a performance artist in the face.

Anyway, keep checking in on the video below, where the final shots of the empty elevator will eventually be replaced by Shia’s address to the fine folks of Oxford University. That’ll probably explain everything…
