Students Did a Dance Routine to ‘Uptown Funk’ but a 60-Year-Old Teacher Stole the Show

This is what I’m talking about, right here!

I only hope I can move like this when I’m 60-years-old. You’ll see what I’m talking about in a minute.

Shirley Clements was getting ready to retire at the age of 60 a few years ago from the school she taught at in Canada. Clements decided she’d go out on a very high note and she performed a hip-hop dance routine with her students that was seriously mind-blowing.

You won’t be surprised to learn that Clements was a dance teacher in the Vancouver area.

It’ll make much more sense when you watch the video at the end of this article.

The performance was part of the Outbreak dance competition that Clements founded almost two decades before she retired.

And for the finale: oh, Clements didn’t do much besides SPINNING ON HER FREAKING HEAD on the floor.

She reminded of Ozone and Turbo from the classic 1980s movie Breakin’.

Here’s the whole video of Shirley Clements absolutely killing it with her students. Be sure to watch the whole thing because you won’t want to miss a second of this performance.

The video has more than 4 million views on YouTube, and for good reason.

That’s wonderful, don’t you think?!?! What a badass!

I, for one, loved this video.

What about you?

Have you ever cut a rug with someone a lot older than you who ended up being a great dancer?

Mister Rogers Loved Farting in Public, According to His Widow

As if you didn’t already have enough reasons to already love the late Fred Rogers, here’s another one.

Rogers passed away in 2003 at the age of 74 and according to his widow Joanne, Fred was a fan of farting in public. He especially liked to do this when an event or a party was…shall we say, boring or dull.

She said, “He would just raise one cheek and he would look at me and smile.”

Was the man an American treasure, or what? Joanne also said that Fred enjoyed dirty jokes and when the film A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood was going to be made, she only had one request: that they not make her late husband out to be a saint.

Fred proposed to Joanne when they were both 24-years-old…and he did it in a letter.

Joanne said she the only keepsakes she kept from her late husband are the letters they exchanged when they lived far apart early in their courtship. She keeps them in a tote bag by her favorite chair so she can read any of the letters whenever she wants to.

Fred and Joanne Rogers were married for more than 50 years and raised two songs together. Joanne is now 91-years-old.

In case you haven’t seen the film based on his life starring Tom Hanks yet, here is the trailer to refresh your memory.

We sure miss Fred Rogers!

An Indie Rock Band Turned a Broken Vintage Piano Into a Hybrid of 20 Instruments Connected to the Piano Keys

As the saying goes, one person’s trash is another person’s treasure.

And that is definitely true for a band from Ukraine called Brunettes Shoot Blondes.

The band came across a broken vintage piano and decided to repurpose it in a very creative way. They made it into a one-of-a-kind analog hybrid of 20 different instruments that are all controlled by the keys of the piano.

Different keys of the piano control all the instruments, including cymbals, a tambourine, and even a cello and a violin.

The band spent three years putting the incredible hybrid together.

?? Oh this is so crazy Go try to amaze me #houstonlyrics

A post shared by BRUNETTES SHOOT BLONDES (@brunettesshootblondes) on

Band member Andrii Kovalov talked about the origins of the idea for the instrument.

He said,

“When I was a kid, I used to have this Yamaha keyboard where you’ve got all the sounds you can imagine: strings, percussion, organ, xylophone, etc. I could spend all day long just playing around with it.

Years later, this weird idea popped into my head: wouldn’t it be cool to recreate this home keyboard, but using an actual grand piano? All other instruments could be built-in so that the piano keys would make them play.

So, I told my friends about this idea and they said: ‘it’s crazy but we should give it try’.”

Pretty awesome, right?

What do you think? Had you ever heard of these guys before? If not, now you have!

Do you know any other bands or musicians that have created their own instruments like Brunettes Shoot Blondes did?

Check Out this Deepfake Video of Robert Downey Jr. and Tom Holland in ‘Back to the Future’

Back to the Future is an incredible film. Every time I watch it I see new things that I previously missed, even though I’ve seen in about 50 times.

But I’ve never, ever seen Back to the Future like THIS before.

Photo Credit: YouTube

A YouTuber who goes by the name of EZRyderX47 posted a video that you have to see to believe. It’s a “deepfake” of Tom Holland and Robert Downey Jr. swapped in for Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd in 1985’s Back to the Future.

Photo Credit: YouTube

If you think the photos look amazing, wait until you see the full video.

I want to go on the record right now and say that I hope the bigwigs in Hollywood never remake this movie because all it will do is tarnish the reputation of the original masterpiece.

The sequels…well, I guess they’re okay…

Whoa Doc, this is heavy!

Take a look at this video and try not to LOSE YOUR MIND.

Pretty insane, right?!? These deepfake videos are amazing…and also kind of disturbing because of what people can potentially do with them.

Have you seen any other good deepfake videos lately?

If so, share them with us in the comments!

This Guy Installed an Electric Fence to Keep Kids off His Lawn and People Are Divided About It

KEEP OFF MY DAMN LAWN!

How many times did you hear that when you were growing up?

I think all of us heard this at least a few times when grumpy neighbors (usually of the elderly variety) would lose their shit if you set foot on their closely-guarded property.

But one man in Virginia took it to an extreme when he installed an electric fence around his yard to keep kids off his lawn…and it’s right next to a bus stop where middle schoolers and high schoolers catch a ride to school in the morning.

Photo Credit: YouTube,WSLS 10

The man who put up the fence is named Bryan Tucker and he said he did it keep kids from trespassing and littering on his lawn. There was no warning sign that the fence was electric, however, which resulted in some parents calling the cops.

Photo Credit: YouTube,WSLS 10

People were pretty pissed off about this development and Tucker responded:

“I’m not in charge of other people’s children. I’m not directing other people’s children what to do.

All I can do is protect myself and that’s why I’ve got a fence up. Show me what’s the truth, you know everybody’s just giving me different words.”

Photo Credit: YouTube,WSLS 10

Here’s a local news report about the story from Virginia.

What do you think?

Did this man go too far or is he justified in erecting an electric fence around his property to keep those pesky kids off his lawn?

This Year’s ‘Best in Show’ Winner Took a Dump During Her Victory Lap

When you’re watching a top-tier dog show such as Crufts from England, you want it to be refined and elegant.

Well, one pooch named Maisie, who happened to win ‘Best in Show’ at the recent competition, threw all of that out the window when she decided to…ahem…relieve herself during her victory lap.

This tweet pretty much summed it up.

Oh, Maisie…you ruined your victory lap!

But you did what you had to do.

Like any good dog owner, Kim McCalmont was ready with a poop bag to clean up the mess.

And people on Twitter thought the whole incident was pretty amusing.

This person even thinks Maisie is a genius.

She definitely did mark her territory…

And this person thought it might be the shining moment for all Crufts events.

Pretty hilarious, even if it wasn’t at the opportune time for Maisie to do her business.

Hey, nature calls, right?

Now that we’re on the subject of dogs, why don’t you go ahead and show us a pic of your furry friends and tell us a little bit about them in the comments!

Please and thank you!

Mirco Machines Are Coming Back in 2020!

This is for everyone who grew up in the 1980s and everyone who loves toys in general!

Micro Machines, those iconic toys from the 1980s and 1990s, are coming back in 2020! Hasbro and Wicked Cool Toys are partnering up to bring back these awesome, very detailed toys that were a big hit back then.

The new line that comes out this year will include an updated version of the popular “Super Van City” that unfolded into a miniature city for the vehicles to go around.

No way!

Jeremy Padawer, Co-President of Wicked Cool Toys, said,

“Considering recent toy unboxing trends, the brand’s multigenerational appeal, and the vehicle category’s ripeness for something ‘new’ again, we believe Micro Machines will be a global phenomenon.”

And who can forget the iconic Micro Machines commercial from the 1980s with that fast-talking actor?

Will the company bring actor John Moschitta Jr. for this new round of business?

We’ll have to wait and see.

I, for one, am pretty excited about this development.

How about you? Were you a fan of Micro Machines back in the 1980s? Or maybe you were too young then but you’re excited about this reboot?

Talk to us in the comments and let us know what you think!

A Teacher Resigned While Her Students Watched on a Livestream

Amanda Coffman taught for more than two decades until recently, when she decided she just couldn’t do it anymore.

Why? According to Coffman,

“Teaching is like a bad marriage.

You never get your needs met, but you stay in it for the kids.”

So, on February 10 of this year, the veteran teacher resigned during a school board meeting that was livestreamed.

Coffman, a teacher in the Shawnee Mission School District in Kansas, said that her and her fellow teachers had been working without a contract since last June.

Photo Credit: YouTube

The teachers had until February 14, 2020, to accept the school board’s new unilateral contract, reject it and work under the terms of the previous contract, or to resign.

Coffman chose to resign from her position.

Education cuts were made in Kansas several years ago that forced teachers to take on an even larger workload.

Coffman said,

“Teachers felt strongly that the district was attempting to silence them by issuing the three-year contract.

Effectively, they would not have to negotiate with teachers over anything until the Spring of 2022.

I have felt increasingly like my voice is not valued in the district over the last few years, and this public campaign to silence us all was the last straw for me.”

She added,

“This isn’t the kind of decision you make impulsively.

I had been pretty open with my friends and colleagues that if this was the way that the contract went, I was probably going to resign.

I’m not sure how many believed that I really would, though!

I called my parents the day before and sent them the link to watch the livestream.”

Photo Credit: YouTube

Coffman said the decision was very difficult and that she cried when she packed up her classroom for the last time.

If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that teachers deserve to be paid WAY more than they currently make.

Watch Coffman’s address to the school board in the video below.

After her resignation, Coffman said she “received a very nice email with personal messages from around 20 former students, organized by a former student. They seem to understand that I did not want to leave them, but rather that I am living the hard lessons I try to teach.”

The video has been viewed over one million times and for good reason.

What do you think about the things that Coffman had to say?

We’d especially like to hear from the teachers out there to get your opinions.

Quotes For People Who Love Telling It Like It Is

I’m an advocate of telling it like it is, not making any bones, opting out of illusions, whatever you want to call it as the next person.

I’m also an advocate of not hurting another person’s feelings if there’s nothing to be gained from it. Just putting that out there.

If you’re someone who finds themselves in situations when to-the-point retorts regularly come in handy, though, you might need some ideas for replies. Just to keep things fresh, you know!

12. Just accept it and move on.

11. Everyone knows this is true.

10. Sometimes is often.

9. Maybe they’ll consider this constructive feedback?

8. There’s no reason it can’t be both!

7. Some people are just like this. You have to know who you’re dealing with.

6. Way harsh, Tai.

5. File that away for future reference.

4. You never know for sure how deep it goes.

3. Seems like a fair trade.

2. Just another few sentences…

1. Actual gold.

I have to say, I can see some of these coming in handy – if nothing else, my creativity is definitely sparked!

Are you going to use these? Are you more of the “avoid confrontation” type? I used to be, but the older I get, the fewer f*cks I have left to give – are you the same?

Let’s talk about it in the comments!
