Posted: 30 Oct 2016 04:00 AM PDT

It's easy to think that a hot dog is just a hot dog -especially when you're just talking dogs and not sausages. But there are a lot of different levels of hot dogs out there and if you like a good dog, you won't want to miss this great article over at First We Feast featuring twenty hot dog versions you really should try before you die. Different topping ideas include cream cheese, mango relish, cole slaw, bologna, curry jam and more. So, what's the strangest topping you've ever had on a hot dog?

New Yorkers Don't Like It When People Talk Trash About Bodega Cats On Yelp

If cities were filled with cat lovers then every store would have a resident cat or two, and employees would bring their purr-fect little angels to work with them every day.

But the cat haters out there keep the store cat presence to a minimum except for in New York, where Bodega cats are a respected member of the community.

They keep the stores rat free, give residents who can't have pets in their homes a furry critter to scratch under the chin, and add some much needed animal warmth to the concrete jungle.

So if you have a problem with New York's Bodega cats take it from cat hater Diana D. and don't vent on Yelp or people will send the hate right back at you!

It seems all of NYC has turned against Diana D. since she foolishly decided to hate on bodega cats on Yelp- she has deleted her Yelp account and is now hoping the city's bodega cats don't decide to get revenge.

Kawaii As Heck - Sinister Yet Squee Worthy

Posted: 29 Oct 2016 08:00 PM PDT


Kawaii as Heck by Mykel AD

When people look at kawaii stuff all they see is the cute, but sometimes that cuteness helps hide a dark secret hidden inside. That's a lesson for us all- just because something looks cute doesn't mean it isn't dangerous, in fact, cuteness can actually enhance the danger level by attracting more victims. Luckily, evil organizations are still stuck on presenting themselves as tough and macho so they've overlooked the power of cute. But if a group of Satanic supervillains start waving a banner with a kawaii goat head and pentagram on it the reckoning of adorableness will be upon us...

Show the world you're cute and dangerous with this Kawaii As Heck t-shirt by Mykel AD, it's the funny way to swear your allegiance to the cult of cute!

The Creepiest Unexplained Phone Calls

Posted: 29 Oct 2016 08:00 PM PDT

Even though everyone uses a smartphone with caller ID nowadays, and we're far more likely to text than talk on the phone, there's still something super creepy about receiving a random phone call.

You answer the phone, say "hello? hello? HELLO?" with no response...only to hear a debt collector or telemarketer on the other end. *shiver*

But as frightening as those calls can be they pale in comparison to the calls on Cracked's list of The 6 Creepiest Unexplained Phone Calls, like the call that predicted JFK's assassination:

Sometime after 10 a.m. on a routine workday, an Oxnard, California, switchboard operator received a call from a whispering woman who dropped a bombshell: the president of the United States was going to die in 10 minutes.

That time passed without incident, but the woman, still on the phone, doubled-down: "The president is going to die at 10:30." She continued to babble away with cryptic statements like, "The Supreme Court. There's going to be fire in all the windows," and, "The government takes over everything, lock, stock, and barrel," before the call finally disconnected at 10:25.

Have you ever received multiple crank calls that really creeped you out because you were sure the calls all came from the same scary person?

Imagine how Bashir Kouchacji felt when he received death threats on a daily basis for over nine years:

The caller earned the nickname "L'Enfant," which we believe is Swedish for "the child," because the caller eventually decided that he wasn't being creepy enough and mimicked a little girl. Anyone associated with Kouchacji was a target, from his pregnant spouse to his restaurant employees. And the abuse got physical when the Star of David was scratched all over Kouchacji's Mercedes, although we're glad to know that constant harassment didn't stop him from making serious cheddar.

There didn't seem to be any escape. When Kouchacji traveled to Philadelphia to visit his sister, the calls kept coming there. Things got so bad he suffered a mental breakdown and committed himself to a psychiatric ward, but the calls continued to his restaurant, which we're guessing had a pretty high turnover rate.

This is just the beginning of Bashir's unexplained phone call story, which may have begun back in his home country Lebanon, where he was abducted and tortured for five days in 1974 because the PLO mistook him for a CIA agent...

Puppies Crash Bachelor Party

Posted: 29 Oct 2016 02:00 PM PDT

For Mitchel Craddock's bachelor party, a group of friends from Vicksburg, Michigan, went on a five-day trip to Tennessee to stay in a cabin in the woods and ride ATVs. The first morning, they were cooking bacon with the door open, and a hungry dog came to the door. They fed her bacon, gave her water, and made friends. When it became apparent that she had puppies, they followed her to a spot she was protecting and found seven puppies hidden in a hole!   

Although the pups had to be washed of dirt and fleas, Craddock said he was surprised by how healthy they were. “Every single one had a big fat belly on them. The mom had given the pups literally everything she had.”

All eight dogs, including the mom, were adopted by the groom and his groomsmen or their relatives. Their new happy homes are close to one another — within a 5-mile radius, Craddock said.

Craddock and his groomsmen didn’t expect to be caring for puppies at the bachelor party. “We pooled a bunch of money to buy food and beer. After the third day, our beer fund turned into puppy food fund,” he said.

Best groomsman's gifts ever! The puppies have all been treated by a vet and are settled into their new homes. Their names are Brimmie, Rosie, Daisy, Knox, Gunner, Bear, and Finn. Mother Annie is also happy in her new home with Craddock's grandparents.

Clever Cosplay With A Twist

Cosplaying as the same old characters can become boring, especially for those cosplayers who make different costumes for every convention they go to, but it's easy to make an old character look fresh again.

(Image Link)

All you have to do is put a new twist on the character's traditional look, or put together an always compelling hybrid character costume, and bend both time and space to your will.

(Image Link)

But be forewarned- once you start meddling with the traditional look of your favorite characters you might find it virtually impossible to go back to basics!

Beaver Dam Collapse

Posted: 29 Oct 2016 06:00 AM PDT

Rick Smith took drone footage of this lovely beaver dam and pond in northern Minnesota. Beavers worked on this dam for seven years. Then it collapsed.

(YouTube link)

The water from the pond drained in about four hours. Smith said,

We own the property that this dam is built on and were totally heartbroken when this dam gave way. The beauty of this natural setting is why we bought the property in the first place. We had no part in the destruction of this dam. It merely could not take the pressure of two week of heavy rain draining into beaver pond flood plain. Also, the beavers built it too high, 9 Ft. It was an engineering marvel. Double decker beaver dams are not that common.

But the beavers didn't give up. Within six weeks of the collapse, they had rebuilt the dam to about four feet. Smith has another drone video showing their progress from May of this year. -via reddit
