Thrillist- Taco Bell’s new Chicago location is making plans to serve booze, and we have the documents to prove it.
The new restaurant, coming to Chicago’s Wicker Park neighborhood this summer, could be the first Taco Bell to serve alcoholic beverages, and city records obtained by Thrillist through a Freedom of Information Act request reveal new details from the plans, including what the boozy drink options might be.
Along with the typical Taco Bell fare like Crunchwraps and smothered burritos, an outline of the location’s menu, dated Feb. 26th, includes “Wicker Park Specials” such as two draft beer options, as well as “Twisted Freezes,” which are described as “Frozen Beverages featuring Vodka, Tequila, or Rum.” While there’s no mention of the crazy Doritos Locos margaritas of our dreams (or nightmares?), just imagine kicking back at a freaking Taco Bell with a Corona and a pile of tacos. Now that sounds like living más.

I need this at my nearest South Florida location and i need it fast. Im not gonna be a snob and pretend I dont eat fast food. I love it. Give me quesadillas and chalupas all day every day. Literally one summer I think I had taco bell every other night when im out with my buddies. Now that summers creeping back into the calendar, even though its hot as ball 24/7 here in florida, I need one of these twisted freezes. Nothing complements a chalupa better it seems. Everything makes sense about it. Sure booze and Mcdonalds might lead to a 4am crippling stomach cramp, but i dont know, i just have a good feeling about this. Coronas and tacos are just right. Please extend these test booze taco bells down to South florida. Pretty Please.

Scrolling through the Detroit Snap story and out of no where is this black dude chilling with a Capybara. Is that normal in Detroit? like exotic animal owners? Dont tell me how poor you are and then tell me you’re out walking your exotic capybara in your fancy buckle loafers. That Nissan 370z is probably his too and thats at least 30k.

AOL- According to Fox 40, an 11-year-old Sacramento boy is now a college graduate.
Tanishq Abraham graduated from American River College in Sacramento on Wednesday night with degrees in math and physical sciences, general science and foreign language studies.
“I like to learn,” he told FOX40 following the graduation ceremony. “So I just followed my passion of learning, and that’s how I ended up here.”
“We did it as a family, as teamwork,” added his proud mother, Taji Abraham. “And I was just cheering, I was just crying there when I saw Tanishq walk down the stage.”
Tahishq still has a few courses to take at ARC.
Then he would like to go to Stanford, and ultimately become a doctor, a medical researcher and president of the United States.

Listen, you can be an 11  year old college kid all you want and graduate high school the year before all you please but this kid has still technically done nothing. Im not saying i want the kid to fail in life but guess what Tanishq, the bars been set and set by you. If you don’t have a cure for cancer in like 5 years then really whats the point of your accelerated brain? if anything i feel like he’s gonna end up no where in 20 years. We already have microwaves to heat up our food fast and Plan B pills to stop pregnancies so the only thing left to do for this kid is cure cancer. The task is yours now, Tanishq Abraham. If you don’t cure cancer in 5 years, 10 years max then you’re just a normal simpleton like the rest of us and not the #ChildGenius or #Prodigy you thought you were.

(Im probably just extremely jealous of this smart kid and my dad probably would want to trade me for him)

HP- Defending yourself in a court case is rarely recommended, but appointing a stuffed owl as your lawyer is really bird-brained.
Nevertheless, that’s who — or what — Charles Abbott brought as his attorney when he appeared in an Aspen, Colorado, courtroom on Tuesday, the Associated Press reports.
Abbott is accused of violating a protection order involving his former roommate Michael Stranahan. The order was filed after Abbott allegedly assaulted Stranahan at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.
Stranahan said Abbott violated the order by going to Stranahan’s home to retrieve belonging when the victim was out of town, according to KWGN.com.
In court, Abbott placed a fuzzy stuffed owl at the defense table and told the judge that the owl — named “Soloman” — would be his legal counsel until a public defender was assigned to the case, the Aspen Times reports.
“He’s a very sensitive guy, has law degrees from Yale, Harvard and Stanford,” Abbott told the judge, according to the paper. “I think he’ll be able to represent me before a public defender comes online.”

Case and Point, Charles Abbot over here who has a stuffed owl as his attorney to defend him in a case where he assaulted his old room mate at an AA meeting. God i didnt even see the AA meeting part until just now but of course they were at an AA meeting. Thats just the thing about people over 35 with a room mate. If they had any normalcy in life or any sense of social awareness they would be married to something and not room mates at probably 45 years old. But whatever, we knew this going in that these people are crazy. Hiring a stuffed animal as a lawyer is a whole new level of lunacy, but to his credit, he couldn’t have hired a better stuffed animal. I dont know why but owls just seem like the smart wise creature so i guess if you wanted to go with that angle in the court of law, then your in good company. As far as stuffed animal attorneys go at least. But add on top of that the fact that the owl has law degrees from Yale, Harvard, AND Stanford? I dont know how he couldn’t win a court case with credentials like that….

I also believe he really believes thats his lawyer, and most of all i think he even pays that stuffed animal his lawyer fees too.

In reality I dont think its up there with ODB. Not and in game situation and Odell Beckams was way far behind him but theres no shout of a doubt that that shits impressive. Anyone who can do a backflip is cool. That gets you chicks 100% of the time. Catching a football and on the football team also gonna get you chicks 100% of the time. But most of all i had to post cause this was my old stomping grounds. American Heritage School, home of the Patriots where Ed Lee was molded into the man he was today. I wasn’t an athlete, I wasn’t an artist, and from my grades, definitely not a child prodigy in academia, but what i was was at Heritage made me a staple, I just was who i was. Cant really explain it but when AHS decides to create a Hall of Fame Alumni, rest assure ill be in that book right there with Marco Wilson. Probably a few pages before him.

P.s- That walk across the field to the 2000 building across the bleachers would be the longest walk ever in the Florida heat. (If i cant make it across the field in a brisk walk without dying back then, then you can probably figure i never woulda made the team)

Source- Twin 52-year-old brothers are facing the same charge after throwing bricks at each other during an argument, Orange City police said.
Michael and James Remelius were arguing with each other in the front yard of a home in the 600 block of Howard Avenue about 8:45 p.m. Tuesday when Michael picked up a brick and threatened to throw it at his brother, according to a police report. James then picked up a brick in a threatening manner.
Michael threw his brick and hit his brother in the leg, causing a small cut, according to the report. James then threw his brick and struck Michael in the right eye, causing bleeding and swelling.
The brothers were both charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and taken to Volusia County Branch Jail, where James was being held Wednesday on $25,000 bail, records show. Michael’s bail is set at $20,000.

Florida man. I gotta get out of here. Florida is a place you go to die i think. Its like in Interstellar when Michael Caine saying we weren’t meant to die on earth, we were meant to leave it. Well i think the same of Florida for me. I grew up here and im use to it and my neck of the woods are pretty normal. But rest assure, if i stay here for another 20 years, im gonna murder someone. I mean these two threw bricks at each other and they’re brothers. Twins none the less. If one gets hurt, so does the other. But its florida and the heats gotten to their brains. Hope these two resolved things with bricks cause if theres anymore arguing going on, one if not both of them will have killed each other by the next family reunion.

Sidenote- I hate twins. Only met one twin im cool with in my life but even he’s a bit whacky, but over all, twins and i dont mix. But thats another story for another day.

Eater NY- Amed Mohammed, the street vendor near the World Trade Center who was selling hot dogs for $30 to tourists, won’t be wheeling his cart into place today. He was fired. His boss Abdelalim Abdelbaky, whose father owns the cart and vending license, told the Post he was lied to: “He told me he charged the people $2 a hot dog” (that’s still twice as much as the guy around the corner charges, but okay). Abdelbaky also claims that Mohammed pocketed all that extra cash and left him to pay off hundreds of dollars in fines that he was slapped with this week after news of his scam broke. The saddest part is that it sounds like Mohammed and Abdelbaky were pretty close. Mohammed even stayed rent-free in his boss’s home, but now Adelbaky feels betrayed. “I lost money now, and I lost some customers, so I have a lot of losses.”

Ahh yes the New York city hot dog vendor. A staple in the New York tourist landscape. Now i’ve been in New York a lot, got family from there and was born there but up until 17 years of my life at the time, i had never EVER entertained the thought of getting a disgusting New York City Dirty Water Dog. But now let me take it back for a second. I was 17 and it was my senior year in high school and i was in the Model UN (yea, i should be some famous diplomat pretty much). We go on a field trip with our team and a buddy of mines and everything just felt like i should try to be the tourist for once so i did. I was just a tourist at that moment staying at the Hilton around Time Square. So one of the nights there Im out wandering around the city me and a buddy and we’re hungry but poor as fuck trying to save up money so we see a hot dog vendor and say fuck it, cant be that bad. And the truth is it wasn’t. All hot dogs are technically made of gross things but you load it up with condiments and shove that guy down ur throat as fast as possible so you can hurry up and regret eating one. The problem came with the guy selling the hot dog and i think that man and Amed Mohammed are one in the same. All i ordered was 2 hot dogs period but next thing you know they guy starts yappin some jibberish and i thought he was just a crazy person and talking out loud but then he starts point his tongs at me and banging on the cart to get my attention. Im just confused as fuck and he keeps on saying stuff so i just keep saying ” yea 2 hot dogs thats all” and then i hear an “okay okay” next thing you know he starts loading it with like ketchup and mustard but what ever was probably gonna put some on either way. Again to mask the taste of the hudson river water probably. But then he says comes with one drink and i think its a steal. Next thing you know he hands me the 2 hot dogs and a sunkist and is asking me for TWENTY FIVE dollars. Guess what Ed, Your common sense failed you and led you to buy two shitty hot dogs and a sunkist. His old ashy fingers touching the bun and everything. Wanted to puke but i wasnt gonna let my common sense fail me again, i pay with out getting stabbed, eat my shitty hot dog, drink the sunkist that probably had rat piss on it but whatever. Now you know to never do it again.

The lesson is to never go to a tourist trap, or if you do, expect a bazillion dollar mark up. Disney world charged us like 5 bucks for a Mcdouble once when its on the dollar menu. Well Amed and his hot dogs are the same. Tourist gotta be willing to fork over the money or just avoid it at all cost, the decision is yours.

P.s- Right after we got those hot dogs we saw a homeless man jump into the water fountain and try to bath himself. Pulled down his pants and everything. And this was in December.

USATODAY- Mayweather vs. Pacquiao: the uber-bout that wasn’t. The so-called fight of the century was pay-per-snooze, a complete waste of everyone’s time and money — except in a boxing community now rolling in obscene amounts of cash, surely in disbelief they fooled us rubes again.

Now this might not be a popular opinion but I think anyone who’s blaming Mayweather is crazy. If anything I would be pissed at Pacquaio if i actually paid for the fight. You know Mayweather Is gonna play the same defensive game as he always played and if you thought he was gonna change his style in his second to last fight with one of the most hyped matches in history, your crazy.

Mayweather did exactly what everyone should’ve thought he’d do. Pacquaio was playing with house money, nothing to lose, and is one of the fastest punchers in boxing. Freddie Roach has seen him fight live, have specifically been training to fight Mayweather and still couldn’t get it done. Yea Pacquaio might’ve taken more hits but for a fight like this, you gotta get mad dog mean. Have to take Mayweather out of his comfort zone and Pacman just didn’t do it.

Miami Herald- A month after John Timiriasieff’s right leg was amputated at Doctors Hospital in Coral Gables, homicide detectives knocked at his door with a strange question: Why was his amputated limb found in the garbage? The detectives had suspected foul play. The real story turned out to be about hospital sanitation — but it’s still a whodunnit. Timiriasieff, a Key Largo man in his 50s, went into the hospital, part of the Baptist Health South Florida system, in October for an amputation below his right knee. But the hospital, instead of incinerating the amputated limb as is the normal practice, tossed the leg into the garbage.So Timiriasieff is suing. He filed a lawsuit with the Miami-Dade County Circuit Court on Wednesday claiming the hospital caused him emotional distress. The hospital’s conduct, the lawsuit says, “was outrageous and beyond all bounds of human decency … and utterly intolerable in civilized society.” The homicide detectives found the leg — with Timiriasieff’s name tag still attached — at a waste management facility and notified Timiriasieff, who contacted the hospital for an explanation. Doctors Hospital told him “they would provide no explanation for what had occurred,” according to the lawsuit. Timiriasieff also wrote a letter to the hospital’s administrator in January that went unanswered.

“When we contacted the hospital, they claimed they could not give us any explanation for why or how this happened,” said Clay Roberts, Timiriasieff’s attorney. The lawsuit claims Timiriasieff suffered invasion of privacy, embarrassment and humiliation because of the hospital’s oversight. Doctors Hospital said it couldn’t comment on the details of the case because of patient privacy concerns. But, it added in an emailed statement, that “when Doctors Hospital was notified of this situation, hospital leaders took immediate and appropriate measures to address it. Proper procedures have been reinforced at the hospital to prevent similar situations from happening in the future.”

How did this happen? How does anything like this happen? Simple, Human error from repetition.

We all see the routine happen in office buildings, schools, in this case the hospital. Those lovely hispanic cleaning ladies come in like clock work, clock in, put on some radio and tune out the people they have to work in front of. Its not their place to get involved with the working people. They simply go about mopping the floors, cleaning the counter tops, and empty out every trash can even if theres only a small amount of trash in it. Foot or no Foot in the trash can, their job is to take out the trash and frankly i respect it. I would puke my face and complain to someone that Im not gonna be anywhere within 50 ft of a bloody limb but the janitor just grit his teeth, bagged it up and tossed out the trash. Id give him a bonus.

As for the old guy, i sincerely hope it was just a left leg and if it is then life made. You only need your right leg for driving, you win a massive lump sum from emotional damage and embarrassment and a bunch of other reasons, and limbs weight like 30 lbs minimum so technically you lost weight. Take a picture from the right angle and you wont even notice that missing foot.  I mean you can’t stand up in the shower anymore but fuck it, i can get down with sitting in the shower.
