A Guy Got a Tattoo of Baby Yoda Drinking a White Claw

This is where we’re at right now as a society, apparently…

2019 sure has been a strange year, hasn’t it?

Do you think in a few years, this fella is going to regret this tattoo? Time will tell, I guess…

But let’s move on to this uniquely American, uniquely 2019 tattoo. A guy named Brock McLaughlin saw a scene of Baby Yoda drinking his tea in an episode of the new Disney+ show The Mandalorian and at that instant, he knew.

He knew he needed to tattoo Baby Yoda on his body – and he also knew that the little creature needed to be drinking…wait for it…a White Claw.

McLaughlin said, “As someone who works in Marketing I was fascinated by the cult of White Claw and how the [drink] dominated the conversation this summer. Baby Yoda and White Claw together just seemed like the perfect combination.”

Let’s take a look at some of the reactions people had on social media, shall we?

Even the folks at White Claw had to reply.

McLaughlin added, “My friends love it, at least that’s what they tell me to my face. My girlfriend is supportive which is how I know she’s a keeper.” She must be quite a lady…

What do you think of getting these kinds of pop culture tattoos that might look a little dated in say, a year or so? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

And if you have any tattoos in the same vein, for God’s sake, share them with us!

Hallmark Christmas Movies Are so Popular Because People Want an Escape from Everyday Life

The older I get, the more mindless entertainment I tend to watch to relax at the end of a long day (or a long week). I definitely don’t always need to watch something dark and thought-provoking anymore to give my brain a workout.

That’s why I’ve watched Air Bud: Golden Receiver 75 times this year…is that weird?

But back to the point…

Part of the reason why Hallmark Christmas movies are insanely popular is that people want to escape the everyday stresses of life and our current news cycle, which, let’s be honest, isn’t very positive or uplifting. Tens of millions of viewers watch Hallmark Christmas movies, and the Hallmark Channel has already hit record-breaking numbers in 2019 since their “Countdown to Christmas” programming kicked off on October 25.

Hallmark Hall of Fame's special presentation of “A Christmas Love Story” starts now!

Posted by Hallmark Channel USA on Saturday, December 7, 2019

One woman who is a huge fan of the Hallmark Christmas movies said, “It’s just something to watch that’s mindless and doesn’t stress you out. It’s not political. It’s something somebody can watch and just be happy about, something that can take your mind off the world for a little bit.”

According to Michelle Vicary, the executive vice president of programming and network publicity for Crown Media Family Networks, which owns the Hallmark Channel,

“People need to feel good. They need to feel positive. There’s so much good television that is dark, edgy, and fantastic. But in the huge spectrum of the human experience, things can also turn out okay. Life can be good and life can be positive, and people need that too. That’s where we come in and that’s where our brand comes in and delivers on an emotional experience that says, ‘You know what, things are going to turn out okay, and you’re good and life is good.’”

Re-discover the magic of "Christmas Town" with Candace Cameron Bure and Tim Rozon with an encore presentation on December 5 at 8pm/7c!

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to see how this big-city lawyer guy is going to fare in the small, rural town where he got isolated for Christmas because he got a flat tire. Will he find love and learn to appreciate the peoples’ small-town charm?

We’ll see!

Remember “Aldi: The Stock-up Store“? I totally remember those commercials from my childhood, but I don’t think I ever actually stepped foot into an Aldi until 2005 in Chicago.

1. Knock-off brands.

2. Let’s all take it easy.

3. Just keep it going.

4. Rest in peace.

5. It’s a skill.

6. That means wealth in my book.

8. It is kind of like a garage.

Enjoy These Funny Tweets About the World of ‘Scooby-Doo’

Were you aware that there’s a new animated Scooby-Doo movie coming out in 2020? It’s called Scoob! and it’s set to open in theaters on May 15.

The Scooby-Doo franchise has been around since 1969, and I, for one, love it because I grew up watching the cartoons. It’s safe to say that it’s been almost as much fun rewatching them as an adult because I didn’t get a lot of the references…if you know what I mean.

People took to Twitter to let loose on Scooby, Shaggy, and his pals, and these observations are pretty hilarious.

1. I think we know why…

2. EVERY SINGLE EPISODE.

3. Ghosts aren’t real??

4. Also happened in every episode.

5. Both good choices.

6. He gets lost a lot.

7. Yeah, what does Fred say?

8. Fred was trying to get busy.

9. He did a lot of business.

10. Hahahaha. Not bad.

11. Keep going…

12. That is very accurate.

13. That’s the lesson of the show.

14. The kid’s in charge.

15. Don’t ruin this for me.

Posted by Williams Sonoma on Tuesday, November 26, 2019

I’m not even a true Star Wars fan, and I think these are pretty awesome.

And besides looking cool, Instant Pots are AMAZING. In case you’re a stranger to these babies, you can choose from seven different functions on an Instant Pot: pressure cooking, slow cooking, rice cooking, steaming, sautéing, yogurt making, and a warming option.

If you’re really looking to nerd out, there’s also a new line of Star Wars cookware designed by Le Creuset, also available at Williams Sonoma. This line of cookware features a ton of cool pieces, including a Han Solo Carbonite Signature Roaster, Millennium Falcon and Death Star Trivets, and a Darth Vader Round Dutch Oven. WOW.

Don’t sleep on this! It sounds like these will be gone before you know it!

Also, remember that Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker opens in theaters on December 20!

LEGO Trolled Tesla with a ‘Shatterproof’ Truck

By now, you’ve probably heard about the fiasco that took place when Tesla CEO Elon Musk debuted the company’s new Cybertruck recently and…things didn’t go as planned.

That’s right, the windows on the Tesla Cybertruck shattered, and Musk was left a little red-faced about the whole thing. So, of course, some big company or brand had to come out and mock them in some genius way, right?

Enter LEGO.

The evolution of the truck is here. Guaranteed shatterproof ?

Posted by LEGO on Tuesday, November 26, 2019

“The evolution of the truck is here. Guaranteed shatterproof.”

BOOM! Mic drop. I can’t think of any other company that could’ve done it better, can you?

Let’s compare the two vehicles. The Tesla Cybertruck is big, bulky, weirdly triangular, has windows that apparently shatter, and the base price is just under $40,000.

The LEGO truck is very small…okay, it’s basically a gray block attached to a four-wheel platform and would probably run you about $1.50. But you get the point: cheap and easy to use.

For the record, Elon Musk said that it was his fault the glass on the Tesla Cybertruck shattered and that he should have thrown the steel balls first AND THEN hit the windows with a sledgehammer, not the sledgehammer first like they did at the event.

He tweeted (as he does), “Sledgehammer impact on door cracked base of glass, which is why steel ball didn’t bounce off. Should have done steel ball on window, *then* sledgehammer the door. Next time …”

Let’s see Tesla come back and top this one…

I thoroughly enjoyed this story! Did you?

“Pinch of Grinch” Cookies Will Be on Shelves During the Holidays

I LOVE the type of holiday-themed food and drinks that only come out for special occasions. It doesn’t matter if it’s for Halloween, Easter, 4th of July, Valentine’s Day: if it’s fun and only available for a limited time, I’m all in.

And there have been a whole lot of these products to choose from this year. Of course, there is the now-annual tradition of the phenomenon known as the Pumpkin Spice Latte…what was life like before it?!?!

This year, we’ve also seen an IHOP menu full of spooky treats and a jet-black Icee drink at AMC Theaters in conjunction with the release of the new, animated version of The Addams Family. You know, fun stuff…

Well, I have some great news for you if you agree with me on this front: Pinch of Grinch cookies for the holiday season! The green sugar cookie dough is topped with a red heart. Yummy!

The packs from Nestlé Toll House cost $2.99 and will be on the shelves at Target, Kroger, and other select retailers.

Each package contains 20 pre-cut cookies, so all you have to do is pop these babies in the oven and you’ll be munching on these green treats in no time.

Hopefully, the Grinch himself approves as well…but you never know with that fella…

UPDATE: It seems that Nestlé recalled many of their products recently, so the Pinch of Grinch cookie dough is not currently in stores. So we’ll all just have to see how this situation plays out…

We’ll be waiting…
