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?

15 Hilarious Accounts of the Moment People Realized They Were Old

Aging is inevitable, folks. I still remember the first time I heard one of my joints creaking. Definitely freaked me out!

Time comes for all of us, and these 15 people’s experience make me feel the slightest bit better.

#1. I am not ‘adult’ like that.

When I realized that I have clear memories of moments I spent with my parents when they were younger than I am now. I remember how “adult” I perceived them and I don’t feel like I am “adult” like that at all.

#2. Coupons in the mail.

When I started to get excited about coupons I got in the mail..

#3. A new vacuum.

When I got really excited about buying a new vacuum. In my defense….that vacuum is fucking dope!

#4. “Old” Disney shows.

When the kid I was tutoring referred to Hannah Montana, Wizards of Waverly Place, etc., as “old Disney shows”

#5. They stopped asking for ID.

When they stop asking for ID when you buy beer.

#6. 10 years younger.

When I realized, that athletes in the NFL are 10 years younger than me. Plus they are already making millions…

#7. Every morning after.

Every morning after drinking.

#8. I’m a ma’am now.

That first time that first teenager called me “Ma’am” respectfully.

I’m a Ma’am now. I’m not a Miss anymore. sighs

#9. The tables have turned.

You know how you might see an older person and not remember them and they say, “you don’t remember me? I remember you when you were this small”?

Well I realized I was old when the tables turned and I ended up being the older one remembering this now grown up as a kid.

#10. I could not stop laughing.

i found out about a rapper named lil windex and i could not stop laughing

#11. I don’t mind.

I can’t name any actor on a recent show and I don’t know who most people are on TV or in music. I’m old,out of the loop but I don’t mind. The loop isn’t relevant to my interests anymore.

#12. Not 10 years ago.

1990 is NOT 10 years ago anymore.

#13. Grunting.

Grunting when picking up something. And the music is “just not as cool as before”.

#14. I just coughed.

Fucked around and coughed while on the toilet, somehow hurt my back and sprained my knee

#15. Classic rock.

when i heard Metallica on the classic rock station, also coming to the realization i have tattoos older than some of my co-workers

Getting old may be hell, but it does certainly beat the alternative!

“Game of Thrones” is Over, and People Have A LOT of Feelings About It

So, Game of Thrones just aired its series finale, and much like the rest of this last season, it had fans all up in their feelings. Some people loved it, a lot of folks hated it, and I personally felt the whole thing was very “meh.”

Without further ado, let’s see what the rest of the world had to say about it.

And the army is ready to fix things…

But will it REALLY fix anything?

Nothing epic about the finale except a Dragon getting angry

And yeah, why did Tyrion have so much sway?!

Gendry lookin damn good.

IT’S TRUE ?

We are all thinking the same thing…

I love a good Gendry rowing meme…

Did we mention we are NOT happy?

And yeah, we can keep waiting, but that’s it!

Wait… that’s REALLY it?

Yes, that was shit. I mean it.

Yes, this is what we waited for…

2 YEARS, to be exact…

Those books can’t come out fast enough…

We’re all broken now…
