Kansas City apparently hates Thanksgiving

How's that for a clickbait headline? Thanksgiving is in...wait...seriously? Just like three weeks? But I haven't made my Halloween plans yet!

Cole Hauser promotes ‘Yellowstone’, breaks internet

That is certainly one way to promote a new season. Cole Hauser, who plays Rip Wheeler on Yellowstone, posted up the following on Instagram in advance of the Season 4 premiere this weekend.

Be prepared for Time Travel jokes this weekend: Daylight Saving Time ends

Daylight Saving Time comes to a close this weekend. If our politicians really cared about what we, The People, want, then it would be the last time we have to mess with our clocks. Once again Sunday morning, everyone but Arizona and Hawaii will be forced to remember how to change the time on their car [...]

A recent survey done on behalf of French's Mustard shows that two-thirds of us have our favorite sandwich. Here's another fact: 66 [...]

Drunk man sinks truck, ice fishing shack

Shockingly, this didn't happen in Florida. A Barron County, Wisconsin, man decided he wanted to go ice fishing over the weekend and backed his ice shack out onto the area lake. One tiny, almost inconsequential problem. The lake wasn't frozen yet. Not even a little. Yes, alcohol was involved. The driver wasn't harmed, though [...]
