The Most Ridiculous Drinking Games Ever Played

0
0
There comes a time in every man's life when simply getting sloshed isn't fun enough. You need to spice things up with some rules. Hence, the drinking game is born. While we all know the standards - beer pong, quarters, flip cup - eventually serious drinking gamers want to branch out. In this article, we'll show you ten drinking games that you probably shouldn't try at home - unless you have someone around who's really good at cleaning up vomit.


Toques
Drinking, Lifestyle, Games
Let's head south of the border for a shocking drinking game that could potentially kill you. "Toques" - Spanish for "touch" - is wildly popular in Mexico City. Vendors go from bar to bar with a jerry-rigged machine that runs current from a set of batteries into two metal poles. Players hold the poles as the controller slowly increases the voltage, and the person who can take the heaviest shock wins. Everybody else has to drink, and then the game starts all over. Proponents claim that playing toques can help reduce your hangover, but doctors warn that exposure to electric current can also stop your heart.

Edward 40 Hands
Drinking, Lifestyle, Games
This one has been popular in frat houses and other dens of iniquity for decades, and it never gets old. Using duct tape, strap a pair of 40 ounce bottles of malt liquor to the palms of your hands, have a friend open them, and then try to drink them without making an unholy mess of everything you hold dear. Typically you're not allowed to remove the tape until the bottles are both completely empty. In foreign lands, they play the variants "Edward Ciderhands" and "Amy Winehands," which doesn't seem in particularly good taste now that she's dead.

Quidditch Pong
Drinking, Lifestyle, Games
Not all drinking games are designed for the frat crowd. Nerds get in on the action with games like Quidditch Pong, a ridiculous bastardization of the "sport" from the Harry Potter novels. Take the basic rules of beer pong - throw ping-pong balls across the table into your opponent's cup, they have to drink the ones you hit - and throw in bats to block shots, hoops to throw balls through and a special "snitch cup" that lets you win the game instantly and you've got an absurd, convoluted mess that only gets worse as you get drunk.

Stump
Drinking, Lifestyle, Games
Severe intoxication and carpentry don't mix, but proponents of the drinking game Stump (popular on the East Coast) don't give a damn. To play, you need a carpenter's hammer, a box of nails and a tree stump. Each player hammers a nail into the top of the stump a small amount - just enough to keep it vertical. Then a player throws the hammer up in the air (it needs to make at least a 360 degree spin), catches it, and immediately tries to hammer an opponent's nail. If they get it, the opponent drinks. If they miss, they drink. And if sparks fly from the hit? Everybody drinks. Needless to say, the longer this game goes on the more thumbs get smashed.

Bear Paw
Drinking, Lifestyle, Games
If there's a people known for their ability to consume massive amounts of alcohol, it's the Russians. The cold winters of Moscow have inspired several seriously intense drinking games, but the most purely Russian is something called Bear Paw. The rules are simple: a large stein is filled with the cheapest, lousiest beer you can find. It's passed around the table, with each person taking a sip. But here's the kicker: after you sip, you replace the beer you drank in the stein with vodka, so it's continually full. Continue until nobody at the table is conscious, which shouldn't take too long as the alcohol content rises.

Where's The Water
Drinking, Lifestyle, Games
Some drinking games test physical skills, but Where's The Water is all about your ability to BS your fellow players. Line up as many shot glasses as you can and fill most of them with a variety of clear liquors: vodka, gin, tequila, rum, et cetera. Fill some of the shot glass with water. The player picks up one of the shot glasses at random, tosses it back and says "Mmmm, water." If the other players believe them that it was water, the turn moves to the next player. If they're not convincing enough, the player must do another shot. However, if the glass actually did contain water, all of the other players must take a shot.

Possum
Drinking, Lifestyle, Games
The humble opossum: a great climber, an even better spreader of disease. The drinking game named after this hissing arboreal marsupial is popular in southern New Zealand, but it's pissing a lot of people off. The rules are simple: each player brings a case of 24 beers with them up into a tree. They all start to drink at the same time, and the last person to fall out of their tree is the winner. You are allowed to climb down under your own power if you finish everything you brought up, but that doesn't seem terribly likely to us.

Neknominate
Drinking, Lifestyle, Games
The age of social media has transformed drinking games into something you can do all by your lonesome. Case in point, Neknominate, which swept Facebook and YouTube in 2014. The basic rule is to videotape yourself downing a pint of beer in one go and then challenging two other people to do the same like some demented version of the Ice Bucket Challenge, but players escalated to more potent alcohol in more ridiculous circumstances and at press time at least five people have died playing Neknominate, including one dude who got alcohol poisoning after chugging a pint of vodka.

Wisest Wizard
Drinking, Lifestyle, Games
More than a few of these drinking games require duct tape, which is a little strange. Wisest Wizard is a game that uses cheap beer (Coors Light is good for the shiny silver cans) and a little imagination to turn drunks into legendary magicians. The rules are simple: drink a can of beer. Then tape a second can onto the top of the first, and drink that too. Continue drinking and taping until your beer cans form a wizard's staff. The longer the staff, the more powerful the wizard. Some regional variations involve taking shots to "battle dragons" as well as optional staff-to-staff combat.

True American
Drinking, Lifestyle, Games
True American isn't just a drinking game; it's a way of life. Originally invented as a joke on the Zooey Deschanel sitcom "New Girl," inspired boozehounds found a way to translate it into the real world, with disastrous results. Here's how it's played: a castle of booze and hard liquor bottles is constructed in the middle of the floor. Cushions and pillows are scattered around the room to serve as spaces on a game board (the floor is lava) and players remove beers from the castle as they play, with the one who gets the bottle of hard stuff winning.

The Best Music Festival Lineups for Summer 2015

0
0
If you've got any feeling left in your legs after the spring festival season, there's plenty of summer music festival fun to be had. From June through August we have the biggest and best festival lineups for your music-loving ears with bands -- Smash Mouth included! -- that will have you salivating. Oh wait, that's just the drugs.

Wakarusa (Ozark, AR)
Music, Summer, Entertainment
When: June 4-7
Tickets: $164
Kicking off the summer festivals is one of a couple Ozark, Arkansas lineups, which keeps it simple with great bands that fly a little under the radar. Older bands like The Roots and Old 97's meet new arrivals The Growlers, Young the Giant, and Glass Animals. In addition, attendees of the affordable Wakarusa festival will get a glimpse of solo guys like Ben Harper and Donavon Frankenreiter with their full band ensembles.

Governor's Ball Music Festival (New York City, NY)
Music, Summer, Entertainment
When: June 5-7
Tickets: $260-$595
New York's biggest summer festival never disappoints, usually right up there with Bonnaroo's quality lineup. This year, The Black Keys, Tame Impala, and Florence + The Machine will rock the stage hard with new music, and solo artists Ryan Adams and Noel Gallagher will knock your socks off with their backing bands. On the other side of the spectrum, Deadmau5 and Odesza will turn you up while sexy lady singer-songwriters Bjork and Lana del Rey will lightly move your hips. If that's not enough, mid-level rockers The War on Drugs, My Morning Jacket, and The Decembrists will make it on stage to finish you off.

Mountain Jam (Hunter Mountain, NY)
Music, Summer, Entertainment
When: June 4-7
Tickets:$185-$239
Mountain Jam is another New York festival of the smaller variety that attracts an earthy crowd. The Black Keys will host a few soulful acts like Grace Potter & the Nocturnals, Rusted Root, and Robert Plant & the Sensational Space Shifters. Alabama Shakes will debut some of their latest new music, and Gov't Mule will perform two sets, including new music from their latest album, "Dark Side of the Mule." If you're looking to relax and feel out some good tunes, this is the less hectic of the New York festivals.

Bonnaroo (Manchester, TN)
Music, Summer, Entertainment
Bonnaroo never disappoints and this year is no different. Pulling in some classics, Tears for Fears and Billy Joel will have you reaching for your acid-wash jeans, along with Mumford & Sons and Ben Folds holding some headliner slots. Alabama Shakes will continue their strong festival stretch, along with the ever-androgynous Against Me! and Florence + The Machine to shake your head to. Guster and Glass Animals will tie up loose ends and then, of course, everyone will lose what's left of their minds to the beats of Flying Lotus, Tycho, and Kendrick Lamar.

Firefly Music Festival (Dover, DE)
Music, Summer, Entertainment
When: June 18-21
Tickets: $299
Kings of Leon is back, but the boys didn't come alone. They'll be greeted along with other American rockers Modest Mouse and The Killers, all debuting new music for (our eager ears). Other cool acts to check out feature Morrissey and Snoop Dogg, along with Kid Cudi and the beautiful sounds of Tycho. Cold War Kids, The Kooks, and Empire of the Sun will fill in the gaps, along with Foster the People, Cage the Elephant, Bad Suns, and the newly trending Grizfolk.

Summerfest (Milwaukee, WI)
Music, Summer, Entertainment
When: June 24-July 5
Tickets: $19
For 19 bucks you can check out Jane's Addiction, Kings of Leon, and Linkin Park; that alone is well worth the ticket price. But concert goers can also get a load of Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, Coheed and Cambria, Third Eye Blind, and The Kooks as well. Solo acts like
Kaskade, Kendrick Lamar, and Keith Urban will pull ears in another direction or two and classic bands like Flogging Molly and Foghat will pull up some good old fashioned musical nostalgia. And if that doesn't give your tinnitus, the resurgence of staple '90s groups, Tonic and Smash Mouth, will!

Pitchfork Festival (Chicago, IL)
Music, Summer, Entertainment
When: July 17-19
Tickets: $65-$150
The smaller, indie style festival will keep its lineup simple but impressive with Wilco at the helm, and Caribou, Chvrches, and Kurt Vile & the Violators to follow behind. Jessica Pratt and The New Pornographers will also make an appearance, but in relation to the Chicago Blues Festival and Lollapalooza, Pitchfork holds its spot as the quaint, yet steady rocking, affordable Chicago summer festival

Lollapalooza (Chicago, IL)
Music, Summer, Entertainment
When: July 31-August 2
Tickets: $110-$275
Chicago is going for quality this year at Lollapalooza, so as soon you finish up at Pitchfork, rest up and hit the Windy City for the likes of Paul McCartney, Florence + The Machine, Tame Impala, and Father John Misty. New music from Alabama Shakes and alt-J will grace the stage and smaller but solid acts like Angus and Julia Stone, The War on Drugs and Of Monsters & Men will tear open the weekend. Flying Lotus, Kaskade and Sam Smith will mix things up a bit, and we suppose Metallica will be there making a ton of noise too.

Outside Lands (San Francisco, CA)
Music, Summer, Entertainment
When: August 7-9
Tickets: $325-$625
San Francisco knows how to get weird in the summertime, and Outside Lands will bring out the best with Wilco, The Black Keys, Mumford & Sons, and Elton John set to headline. Lots of anti-rock is in store with the likes of Robert Delong, Kendrick Lamar, Sam Smith, and Caribou. Tame Impala, Glass Animals, and Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals will appear to hand off some of their latest tunes. Did we mention Billy Idol will be there?

The Peach Music Festival (Scranton, PA)
Music, Summer, Entertainment
When: August 13-16
Tickets: $135
With a small but sturdy lineup, Scranton's Peach Festival will welcome some old timers like Gregg Allman, Willie Nelson & Family, Rusted Root, and Bob Weir with Bill & The Kids. In addition, G. Love & Special Sauce and Old Crow Medicine Show will get the kids moving at the hips. Santana and Warren Haynes will be in attendance with some of the festival's biggest solos.

The Most Entertaining Chipotle Yelp Reviews We Could Find

0
0
There are some things we all know to be true about our neighborhood Chipotle restaurant. These things are: a) you'll never find a seat there, b) the menu items are more expensive then you'd like them to be, c) charging extra for guacamole is complete bullshit, and d) when you're drunk or nursing a massive hangover, there's nothing more satisfying than destroying a massive, poorly wrapped chicken burrito shoveled with mediocre rice and with everything on it.

However, some odd Chipotle similarities revealed themselves as I searched through the user-generated hilarity that is Yelp. These were a) "bigger" people are served bigger portions, b) "burrito juice" is an established noun, and c) the Chipotle restaurants in Baltimore have been deemed "the worst" in the country. After riffling through hundreds of Chipotle Yelp reviews, the following proved to be the truest (and funniest) reviews of the bunch.

1. On authenticity:
chipotle reviews, funny chipotle reviews

2. Fighting fire with fire:


3. Bathroom scripture:


4. A lesson in burrito making:


5. It's not rocket science


6. Evidence of minimum wage:


7. Mission statement:


8. Thumbs up for soft drinks:


9. Tough shit:


10. "Mexican" standoff:


11. It's not theft, it's being frugal:


12. Gentrification:


13. It's complicated:


14. Prison bait:

I don't have any kids myself, but I'm assuming filming your kid going down a slide and wiping out, and then proceeding to post it online so that the world can see and laugh at, which will allow everyone to call your child "slide kid," which will follow them all through their life, is one of the benefits of parenthood.

This Girl's Tongue May Be the World's Longest

Is This the World's Longest Tongue?

Adrianne Lewis is an 18-year-old girl who probably has many talents, but the ones she is known for are all tongue-related. Lewis has become an Internet sensation due to her four-inch tongue that she can use to lick her nose, her elbow and even her eye (with the help of her hand). Although her boyfriend and family don't seem too crazy about all the attention she is receiving for her "long licker," Adrianne seems to be enjoying it. And, once she is measured by Guinness World Records, she hopes to beat out the current record of 3.97 inches and be officially declared the "girl with the world's longest tongue."

Man Accused of Stealing Stripper's Panties and Pulling Knife on Bouncer

Somehow, it's not too shocking that he doesn't remember any of it.

According to Mirror, a 31-year-old Newcastle man went to drown his sorrows earlier this year the best way he knew how, and that was with boobs and beer.

But now Adam Strong has been sentenced to community service after a judge said he displayed "threatening behavior" when he stole a stripper's underwear and then pulled a knife on security personnel when they asked him to empty his pockets.

Adam Strong stole stripper underwear and pulled knife on bouncer
Strong told the judge he had received some bad news on January 18, so he decided to tie one on at a city center club called Some Like It Hot. Then, after getting absolutely hammered, Strong bought a lapper from one of the club's dancers.

So far, so good.

But when she finished her job and reached down for her panties, they were nowhere to be found. Strong made his way toward the exit but was stopped by bouncers who asked him to turn out his pockets. He instead produced a pocketknife and pointed it at security, who quickly took it away and threw him onto the streets.

Strong was given a 12-month "community order with supervision" because he is usually a law-abiding man, which is almost as good as it gets under the circumstances. After all, you have to think if he would have had a prior record, he'd probably be stuck with unwanted lappers in his prison cell instead.

Baltimore City Employee Fired Because He Spent Half His Time Watching Porn

0

We're sure he's still a distant second behind the Mandatory editors, though.

According to an article from last Sunday's Baltimore Sun, a maintenance supervisor for the Baltimore City Department of Public Works was fired earlier this year after city investigators discovered he had watched 39 hours of porn during a two-week work period.

Baltimore city employee fired for watching too much porn
After receiving an anonymous complaint, officials rigged the employee's computer with monitoring software and discovered he was bringing porn DVDs to work and watching them.

A lot.

Over an 82-hour period, the perv logged 39 hours of smut viewing, including a six-hour, 46-minute porn session during one eight-hour workday. He also watched the movies in full-screen mode, which meant "little to no work was being performed during the time that pornographic material was visible on the screen."

The man earned $1,166 while watching porn at work, and that begs the question, "Why in the hell didn't they can his ass after they busted him watching it for just two minutes?"

Miss USA 2004 Shandi Finnessey Still Has the Right Stuff

Florida Principal With Unbuttoned Blouse Busted Smoking Weed With Student in Car

Well, this takes the term "high school" to a whole new level.

According to the New York Daily News, the principal at a Palm Springs, Fla. charter school that is part of a chain founded by Vice President Joe Biden's brother is in deep crap after police found her smoking pot with one of her students in the backseat of a car last Wednesday.

Mavericks High School Principal arrested smoking weed with student
Police said they found 45-year-old Krista Morton wearing an unbuttoned shirt that was "exposing her shoulders and part of her chest" sitting beside one of her 18-year-old senior students along with a plastic container of marijuana.

Morton initially told cops that she and the lad were "just friends" letting off steam, but the student finally confessed that she was indeed the principal at Mavericks High School. Both Morton and her student were arrested on pot possession charges, and she has since been suspended by the charter school pending an investigation.

Police said they responded to a 911 call about "people possibly engaging in sexual activity or being attacked in a parking lot," which often times in Florida is pretty much the same thing.

20 Movies You Won't Believe Are 20 Years Old This Year

0
0
They say age is just a number, but that number certainly won't make you feel any younger when considering the following list of films. Each was released at some point during the year 1995, making them now officially 20 years old. While just about every title will evoke nostalgia in anyone born in the 1980s especially, all will leave you with that sinking feeling of time having passed you by much quicker than expected. But on the plus side, at least a majority of these movies have held up considering how long they've been around.

"Billy Madison" (February 10)
movies that turn 20 in 2015, billy madison
"Billy Madison" was Adam Sandler's first title role. Unfortunately, his last wasn't "Little Nicky."

"Tommy Boy" (March 31)
movies that turn 20 in 2015, tommy boy
The original plot of "Tommy Boy" revolved around the brotherly dynamic of Chris Farley's Tommy Callahan and step-brother Paul Barish, played by Rob Lowe. Lowe joined the film as a favor to Farley, and was uncredited in the role due to his contract while filming Stephen King's "The Stand."

"Bad Boys" (April 7)
movies that turn 20 in 2015, bad boys
A radically different script for "Bad Boys" titled "Bulletproof Hearts" was originally owned by Disney and was set to star Dana Carvey as Mike Lowery and Jon Lovitz as Marcus Burnett. When that fell through, the script was sold to Sony. Arsenio Hall was the studio's first choice to play Lowery, but director Michael Bay decided to go with a young "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" by the name of Will Smith instead.

"A Goofy Movie" (April 7)
movies that turn 20 in 2015, a goofy movie
The original VHS release of "A Goofy Movie" in the US contained a music video for "Dr. Looney's Remedy" by Parachute Express. It is just as intolerable now as it was 20 years ago.

"Friday" (April 26)
movies that turn 20 in 2015, friday
Going along with our 20 theme, "Friday" was also filmed in 20 days.

"Casper" (May 26)
movies that turn 20 in 2015, casper
"Casper" was the first movie to star an entirely computer-animated lead character. This may explain why despite pulling in over $100 million in the US alone, it was considered a disappointment and a proposed sequel was never greenlit.

"Apollo 13" (June 30)
movies that turn 20 in 2015, apollo 13
Brad Pitt was originally offered a role in "Apollo 13," but turned it down in favor of another now classic film that appears later on this list. Hint: "What's in the BOX!?"

"Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie" (June 30)
movies that turn 20 in 2015, mighty morphon' power rangers the movie
"Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie" was the first time the TV show turned movie shot 100 percent original content. Everything else prior simply recycled and redubbed action scenes from the "Super Sentai Series" in Japan.

"Clueless" (July 19)
movies that turn 20 in 2015, clueless
Alicia Silverstone didn't even have to audition for her role as Cher, but that doesn't mean actresses including Reese Witherspoon and Zooey Deschanel hadn't tried out for the part.

"Waterworld" (July 28)
movies that turn 20 in 2015, waterworld
Considered the most expensive movie ever made at the time, it is said that Kevin Costner even sunk $22 million of his own money into the $175 million "Waterworld." Of course, he was put up in an oceanfront villa with a butler, chef, and private swimming pool for $4,500 a night for the duration of the shoot, so we'll call it a wash. End water-related puns.

"Mortal Kombat" (August 18)
movies that turn 20 in 2015, mortal kombat
Jean-Claude Van Damme turned down the role of Johnny Cage in "Mortal Kombat" in favor of playing Colonel Guile in the 1994 video game adaptation of "Street Fighter" instead.

"Desperado" (August 25)
movies that turn 20 in 2015, desperado
Despite not actually being in the room when Salma Hayek shot her famous nude love scene with Antonio Banderas, director Robert Rodriguez claims the entire crew showed up the day it was filmed to try and catch a glimpse.

"The Usual Suspects" (September 15)
movies that turn 20 in 2015, the usual suspects
Al Pacino almost played the role of Dave Kujan in "The Usual Suspects," but wound up turning it down due to having just played a cop in "Heat" which was also released in 1995. Pacino has since said that this is the film he regrets turning down most in his career.

"Se7en" (September 22)
movies that turn 20 in 2015, se7en
Studio executives were against the film's now iconic ending, but both lead actors Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman refused to promote the movie unless it remained. Originally, however, the script called for Kevin Spacey's John Doe to kill Pitt's character only to then be shot by Freeman. The studio may have liked this ending much better, but fortunately it never came to pass.

"Showgirls" (September 22)
movies that turn 20 in 2015, showgirls
Actresses up for the lead role of Nomi Malone (played by Elizabeth Berkley) included Pamela Anderson, Jenny McCarthy, and even more notable stars such as Drew Barrymore and Charlize Theron.

"Empire Records" (October 20)
movies that turn 20 in 2015, empire records
"Empire Records" features a nice little shoutout to the 1993 film "Dazed and Confused." Aside from also starring actor Rory Cochrane, who played Slater in the coming-of-age '70s comedy, a sign on the cash register reads "Have a nice daze" and features the smiley face logo from the movie.

"Mallrats" (October 20)
movies that turn 20 in 2015, mallrats
Of all the films on this list, "Mallrats" is the only one to have a proper sequel on the books for its 20th Anniversary. Sure, it won't be out until 2016 if all goes according to plan, but let's not split hairs here.

"GoldenEye" (November 17)
movies that turn 20 in 2015, goldeneye
Numerous changes were made to the film's script during production because the plot was strikingly similar to that of the Arnold Schwarzenegger blockbuster "True Lies" which was released in 1994 while "GoldenEye" was still in production.

"Toy Story" (November 22)
movies that turn 20 in 2015, toy story
"Toy Story" was co-written by "Avengers: Age of Ultron" writer/director Joss Whedon. It's no wonder it was the first animated film to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.

"Jumanji" (December 15)
movies that turn 20 in 2015, jumanji
Scarlett Johansson almost won the role of Judy in "Jumanji," but the part eventually went to a fellow member of the Child Actresses Turned Major Babes club named Kirsten Dunst.

Honorable Mention (but to be honest, these films actually feel 20 years old):
"Higher Learning" (January 11)
"Outbreak" (March 10)
"Braveheart" (May 19)
"Babe" (August 4)
"Casino" (November 22)

Sometimes, you're just set up perfectly. Like a good "That's what she said" joke, oftentimes it is too easy for your mind to go into the gutter. We're not judging, either. You may not normally have a dirty mind, but these photos make it nearly impossible to keep it clean.

Teacher Named Fuchs Lives Up To Her Last Name, Gets Arrested For It

There are teachers that enjoy teaching, others that have grown tired of it, and then there are teachers who are huge fans of one-on-one, hands-on teaching, and a teacher named Mrs. Fuchs was arrested for her special type of hands-on teaching.

News, Teacher, Sex

Mrs Fuchs, a Science teacher at Bainbridge High School in Washington state, was hauled off by cops when it was discovered that she had an ongoing sexual relationship with a 16-year-old student.

According to police records, Mrs. Fuchs and her 16-year-old lover traded a bunch of texts, emails, and Snapchats that were "sexual in nature." So I guess that debunks the theory that the Snapchats were of her discussing what a hypothesis is. Mrs. Fuchs also decided to send a video to the student, a video of herself...enjoying herself.

It got even worse for the science teacher when she was discovered by her own husband "performing oral sex" on the teen.

The teacher, in an attempt to save her behind, searched "how to permanently delete cellphone records" on her school computer, as well as searching "paternity tests." The teacher also tried to convince the student to lie to investigators, made evident in this text she sent the student:

Well protect me as best you can. Remember NOTHING COMES OUT EVER! About anything, you have been to my house only once. Lie like you have NEVER lied before and try to get your mom to side with you completely and say this was all a misunderstanding! And tell the investigator that!

The student is no longer enrolled in the school, and the teacher with the ironic last name has been charged with first-degree sexual misconduct with a minor and tampering with a witness.
