Taco Bell Has Plans to Open Up Its Own Resort in Palm Springs

Taco Bell fans, rejoice! It’s time to pack your bags and load up on hot sauce, because they just made a BIG announcement: Taco Bell will temporarily take over a resort in Palm Springs, California, giving fans a whole new level of Taco Bell experience.

I told you I wasn’t playing. I don’t joke about tacos, and I don’t joke about vacation. FYI.

The Bell will open on August 9, 2019, and will start taking reservations in June. The Taco Bell website says,

“Get ready for “Bell”hops and Baja Blasts, Fire Sauce and Sauce Packet floaties, because The Bell: A Taco Bell Hotel and Resort is opening for a limited time in Palm Springs this August, meant for 18+ superfans. Complete with exclusive Taco Bell menu items and plenty of surprises, The Bell is sure to be the spicy twist of your summer. So pack your swimsuit, mark your calendars and start the countdown, because The Bell is about to make all of your taco dreams come true.”

There will also be a gift shop stocked with Taco Bell-themed clothing, naturally.

It’s still unclear how long the Taco Bell pop-up hotel will actually be open for, so I guess we’ll have to wait and see…

Well, I’ll see you in Palm Springs!

Yes, I Do Expect A “Hello” to Me If You Hug My Significant Other. Thanks

I think something just got started…

Twitter user @Lindsaysturg did this thing…

“Is it rude for a girl or guy to say hi and hug your significant other but not acknowledge you”

Yeah, it’s definitely a firestorm.

Needless to say, the retweets ran away with it.

But to the core question… OF COURSE IT IS RUDE! Why would you only acknowledge a person and not their SO? That is CRAZINESS. And it’s only for those of you who want to start trouble.

Twitter, yeah, she agrees…

Because who would do this?!

Listen, EVERYBODY involved with the greetings is rude. Full stop.

Because how dare you!

We all know how being rude works…

And we do not have time for it!

Thankfully, though, this isn’t all being laid at the girl’s feet…

Because what’s up with your SO, tho?

Let’s all be friends, mmmmmkay?

It’s just what you should do…

What do you think? Would it be rude? Do you not care?

Share this post and let your friends know what you think!

Hawaii Used to Greet Vistors With a Lei. What Would Other States Give Visitors?

The best thing about a Hawaiian vacation is the chance to get lei’d.

Photo Credit: iStock

Ok, I know. That was a TERRIBLE joke, and I sincerely ope the great state of Hawaii will still allow me to vacation there (some day).

That joke actually comes from the fact that Hawaii used to give people these flower leis when they arrived in the state. That tradition has since faded away, but you can still buy them!

But what would other states give their visitors?

Some wise, wise people on reddit answered and the results are hilarious…

Idaho

Free tater for every out-of-stater!

North Carolina

A Cheerwine and a Cajun filet biscuit. Enjoy.

Maryland

You land and we hand you a can of Old Bay before you even get off the plane.

New Mexico

Hatch Green Chili

Arkansas

Would give you pecans and quartz crystals

Pennsylvania

Welcome to Pennsylvania here’s your flat tire!

South Carolina

A bag of boiled peanuts.

Vermont

Keys to a Subaru

Rhode Island

Coffee milk, Del’s lemonade and some quahogs

West Virginia

We’d give you a pepperoni roll and some meth.

Louisiana

Mardi gras beads and a drink.

A speeding ticket

Utah

We’d give you the Book of Mormon

Maryland

Crabs, but they don’t tell you what kind

Alabama

A glass of sweet tea. If you survive the diabetic coma-enjoy your trip!

Washington

Starbucks and a Windows update.

New Jersey

We’d give you the finger.

Which pretty much already happens when you drive out of the airport.

Iowa

We’re gonna hand you a corn cob.

Arizona

We’d hand you a gun and some free high school credits.

Maine

Either a pine tree pillow or delicious, succulent lobster.

Wisconsin

A Packers’ jersey & some cheese curds.

Kentucky

A glass of bourbon.

Massachusetts

Gives you a Dunkin’ Donuts iced coffee regardless of what season it is.

Georgia

You get a Chick-fil-A sandwich and an STD

New York

We’d hand you a dollar slice, folded in half.

Texas

We’d give you barbecue brisket and a shotgun

Florida

A vaccine cocktail, Life Alert button, and handcuffs

Montana

We’d give you a gun and a grass fed beef steak

Oregon

A dog, tattoo and a 1998 Subaru outback with a side of craft beer

The many Californias

Southern California: A reusable Whole Foods bag

Northern California: A bag of weed and some Tofurkey

Central California: A cowboy hat and a CCW permit

Minnesota

An absurdly polite personal tour around the entire state

Ohio

Here’s your MAGA hat, OSU Jersey, and syringe full of narcan.

Colorado

A blunt and a craft beer of sorts.

Then immediately fuck you with intense wage vs. rent inequality.

Oklahoma

Obligatory bible and meth pipe

Tennessee

Whiskey. Duh.

Nebraska

A 16 ounce ribeye.

Connecticut

A tax bill

Illinois

An orange barrel, some concrete crumbles, and a tax bill for both.

Mississippi

6 baby daddies and a can of snuff

New Hampshire

Heroin & fireworks (live free or die, I guess)

Missouri

One unit of meth.

And no, I don’t know how meth is measured or whatever.

Also, KC-style BBQ and toasted ravioli

Wyoming

A steak and a card that says, “yes, we do exist.”

Indiana

We will give you a complimentary piece of Garfield merchandise, because that’s pretty much all we have.

Kansas

We’d give you a free TSA strip search for pot and a bud light.

If you flew first class, you also get a fake chuckle when you (and you know you will) make a wizard of Oz joke.

Yeah, we didn’t get to all the states because some people just didn’t answer.

Sorry North and South Dakota! And Nevada… for some reason?

Speak up next time!

This Illegal Uno Move Has the Potential to End Your Friendships

Did you know that Uno was developed in 1971 by Merle Robbins of Ohio, a barber by trade. The game caught on quick, and weirdly enough, Robbins went on to sell the family game quickly to a funeral parlor for a whopping $50,000 + a $.10 royalty per game sold. I’m guessing he did pretty well for himself after the game eventually sold to Mattel.

Anyone who’s ever played the game is probably familiar with the “draw” cards that force your opponent to draw additional cards from the pile (2 or 4, depending on the card). It’s a strategic play that can help you slow down your opponents in later stages of the game.

Well, it appears using a Draw 4 and immediately stacking a Draw 2 card has caused a ruffle, so much so that Uno has stepped in to clarify the rules. It is now official: “double stacking” is cheating!

Sure we’ve all tried it. I mean, this was how we were taught. No one reads the “official” rules booklet, rather the game rules were passed down from your brother, aunt or another family member. Stacking made the game more fun!

Uno’s clarification caused an uproar on Twitter, where users combatted the makers of the game. What do they know?

Apparently, a lot. They did make the game after all.

Some Twitter users tried “going around” the rules by questioning Uno:

While other Uno enthusiasts denied the makers of the game altogether.

And what Twitter debate is complete without commentators chiming in about the insanity?

My advice? Play by house rules – if you can keep this sneaky move hidden from your Uno mates. They may ban you from the game indefinitely if they find out you’re a cheater.

Billionaire Pledges to Pay off Student Debt for Morehouse College’s ENTIRE 2019 Graduating Class

Graduating from college is an incredible milestone in anyone’s life, but it’s sadly often marred by a lot of anxiety about what comes next. The looming shadow of trying to repay a seemingly endless amount of student loans for years to come is especially daunting.

Thankfully, the 2019 graduating class of Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia, won’t have to worry about that – during his commencement speech at Morehouse, billionaire Robert F. Smith announced that he would be paying off ALL the student debt for Morehouse’s class of 2019!

Smith said during his speech, “On behalf of the eight generations of my family that have been in this country, we’re gonna put a little fuel in your bus. This is my class, 2019. And my family is making a grant to eliminate their student loans.”

This guy’s reaction pretty much sums up the way everyone at the graduation felt about the news.

Take a look at the reaction from the graduating students.

A spokesperson for Smith said the billionaire is “thrilled to invest in these young people and their future.” Robert F. Smith made his fortune by founding a private equity firm called Vista Equity Partners that primarily buys and sells software firms. He graduated from Cornell and has a Master’s degree from Columbia.

Smith told the students, “You are responsible for building strong, safe places where our young brothers and sisters can grow with confidence. Watch and learn from positive role models, and believe that they too are entitled to the American dream.”

There’s no official confirmation of the size of Smith’s gift yet, but it’s believed to be in the neighborhood of $40 million.

What an incredibly generous gesture. Good luck, Class of 2019!

Remember the “Dad Wagon?” It’s Making a Trendy Comeback

Fashion/trendiness is whatever looks great today, will look ridiculous in 10 years, and become “vintage cool” in 20 years.

It’s a tale as old as time. Whether it’s clothes, music, or cars, it seems that what is old will always become new again given enough time.

Take the Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon, for example. Popularly dubbed the “Dad Wagon,” it was the subject of a lot of ridicule when it first came out… and for many, many years after.

Well, these babies are back on the road – thanks largely to millennials who are quite obviously digging them in a major way.

Hagerty Insurance reported an almost 50% increase in quotes for the vintage Buicks from 2017 to 2018, meaning that the Roadmaster Estate Wagon was the most requested car by 14 percentage points.

What??

The Roadmaster Estate Wagons were produced by Buick from 1991 until 1996, and they just scream 1990s style, don’t they? The Roadmaster Wagons are a whopping 18 feet long, can seat 8 people, and feature a sunroof, which we all need in our lives. But there’s another reason why these vehicles are appealing: under the hood is a 5.7-liter LT1 V8 engine that has 260 horsepower. That engine, by the way, is the same kind used in Corvettes, Camaros, and Firebird Trans-AMs.

The price tag is nice as well. The average listing price for a Roadmaster Wagon in the Kelley Blue Book is $2,990. Not bad, not bad at all.

Jonathan Klinger, a spokesperson for Hagerty, said, “It’s a fun way to stand out for not a whole lot of money. It’s like driving a couch down the road: Big comfy seats that lack any sort of real driver-oriented support, but they’re just cushy and comfortable. And with the V-8 engine, it’s got a little bit of sleeper status to it.”

What do you think? Are you going to run out and get your hands on one of these vintage beauties?

Stephen King’s Mind-Blowing Prediction for the End of “Game of Thrones” is The Ending We Deserved

Stephen King is the undisputable master of macabre, and one of the most brilliant storytellers of our times. He’s also a huge fan of Game of Thrones, and decided to share his own theory about how the show should have wrapped up prior to the airing of the show’s series finale.

Considering he’s a guy who has authored over 50 novels and is legit buddies with George RR Martin, it’s probably worth listening to what he has to say.

And before anybody has anything to say, King already has the clap back ready…

Now, the internet had a few thoughts… and this is earlier on when Cersei was still alive, so there was one prediction that King responded to.

First, the tweet…

Then King’s response…

We know that’s bullshit now that Sansa stayed put in Winterfell and Arya almost got killed by Dany’s and Drogon’s reign of fire and blood.

Still there are some other crazy theories that have no basis in reality that are fun to read…

Some thing Arya will still be the one…

And some want Baratheon’s bastard to ascend…

Some had praise for King’s ending…

What do you think?

21 People Confess About the Double Lives They’re Keeping From Their Families

Everyone has a few skeletons in their closet – little secrets that they’d prefer to keep hidden away from the world for one reason or another.
