I think WWE should consider monitoring the Social section of the WWE App a little closer.

Mae Young, first time we ever had to do anything with her in the ring, with Mark Henry, we had to give her the “Whassup? Headbutt”, which is the diving headbutt to the crotch. So I picked her up in the ring, and I slammed her. I put her down very respectfully, for an 80-year-old woman.

I’ll show you how cool and how tough this woman really is. So we give her the headbutt, we do the whole thing, and we get to the back, and she comes over to me.

“‘Ey hotshot. If you’re gonna slam me, you slam me like one of the boys.”

"Yes ma’am, no problem. Whatever you say."

So now we had to put her through the table, and I said, “Mae, keep your hands clasped behind my head, so I can protect you.”

She let her hands right go. Flew right off the table. So we put her though the table in the ring, I believe we had done, and then we did it off the stage. She took it like a champ, and then she went to Vince McMahon and said, “I want to go off the top of the cage.”

She wanted to get powerbombed off the top of the cage through a table. That’s how tough this woman is.

Patient who arrived at the hospital with symptoms of pneumonia is given an x-ray, only to discover his neck is full of needles. The patient is a heroin addict who would shoot up into his neck, he would then pass out or fall asleep and the needles would break off into his neck.

Last night, we took a trip down 90s nostalgia lane in a bad way, as we all said our sorrowful goodbyes to any new versions of Winamp, thanks to the company closing its doors next month. So to lighten the 90s mood, let’s talk about one of the most celebrated and cherished card games ever created, Magic: The Gathering, which is still alive and well today. However, I don’t know much at all about the game, other than what the guy I just gave a wedgie to told me, so my shock over this story is sincere and honest.

On Sunday, an eBay auction for what is said to be a very rare Magic: The Gathering card ended, and someone apparently paid $27,302 for a 9.5-rated Alpha Black Lotus Card from 1993. That’s $27,302 that could have been spent on a car, college tuition or a Frank Stallone concert, but instead it’s a Magic card. It better be one hell of a card.

According to the seller, it sure as heck is. HECK, I SAY!

We are proud to offer the holy grail of non sports cards in the finest condition ever graded by BGS. To date, BGS has only graded two examples with 2 pristine 10 subgrades. Only 1 point away from being a six figure Pristine 10. The surface looks pristine as well and is worthy of being reviewed. One of over 5000 cards, lots and sets up for bid in our 9th auction of 2013.

Thanks to eBay’s privacy rules, I don’t have a clue who purchased this ultra-rare card, but if I had to guess, he’s probably celebrating right now with a bottle of Dom and a nude Kate Upton.

Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow recently revealed the movie isn’t a reboot, but will instead pick up in real time, 22 years after Jurassic Park. Not only is it the same universe, but the guy behind those amazing creatures is coming back to make cool dinosaurs. Trevorrow tweeted the picture above to announce Phil Tippett’s return.

You probably know Tippett not only from his work in Jurassic Park, but also from the AT-ATs and Tauntauns in The Empire Strikes Back and ED-209 in the original Robocop, among other things.

He’s also internet famous as the guy who makes us yell, “YOU HAD ONE JOB.”

Having Tippett there to supervise the big lizards again should ensure all of the character and flavour that we want. And yes, that’s a maquette of a T-Rex. Archive model? Oh, we’ll get a T-Rex in the movie somewhere – the question would simply be how much T-Rex, for how long, and doing what? [Bleeding Cool]

The T-Rex can be just photobombing people in the background while waving his tiny arms, and I’ll be happy. As long as he’s there.

Jurassic World stars Chris Pratt as an ex-military dude and Bryce Dallas Howard as a corporate scientist. Ty Simpkins and Nick Robinson will play her nephews. We’ll let you know about the rest of the cast as deals are finalized. Phil Tippett’s dinosaurs are going to start moving in herds to theaters on June 12th, 2015.

Paul Rudd has been tricking Conan O’Brien for years by showing the same bizarre movie clip from the 1980s sci-fi film Mac and Me every time he is a guest on Conan. You can watch as Paul plays his funny prank in this supercut video from hernan ropo.

Above me on the landing stood a strange girl, about my age, with short black hair. She was smiling down at me, not a warm smile, not a friendly smile, but the coldest, most frightening smile I had ever seen.

This is my piece for the MONSTER EDITION book! The book itself has just gone up for pre-order for a limited time—check out the store and the masterpost of artists. I was introduced to the work of a ton of talented artists through this book. I’m so glad to be a part of it! Welcome to Dead House is one of my favorite books from the series. So classically ridiculous and creepy.

Stand-up comic and part-time gay bar cook Randy Liedtke has come up with a fool's foolproof way of pissing off a cop: Baking cookies that look like iPhones and then driving around with them pretending to talk.

I still had some smoked cheddar on hand after last week’s efforts, and what better to do with some leftover cheese than to place it between bread and grill it? A word, then, on some of the hows and whys of grilled cheese. Firstly, it’s going to be unbelievably rich. You’re filling it with cheese and frying it in butter (you are using butter, aren’t you?), that’s fat on top of fat. You need to cut that richness with something, preferably something spicy or sharp. Plenty of places think the answer to the cheese is meat, often something quite fatty, but that’s a mistake, it’s just more richness on top of same. (This is why short rib grilled cheese is usually disappointing, and kimchi grilled cheese is never less than wonderful.) In the above case, I went with a tin of anchovies. Salty little devils, there was no question they could stand up to the cheese. I happened to have some scallions that were on their way out, and in they went as well. They brought a brighter sharpness to things, although something along the line of red onion might have been better, just because it’s more assertive. Lastly, a note on technique: Keep the heat gentle, somewhere just a touch over medium. It doesn’t take much to melt the cheese and crisp the bread, so don’t use much.

kfc doesn’t even have to try anymore they’re just like come get your fucking bucket of fat you piece of shit

Comedian Tom Mabe and Jim Clark recently set out to stop their alcoholic friend from accumulating a sixth DUI and hopefully save his life. They pulled off the stunt by first turning a small office into a hospital room. When Jim and Tom found out that their pal had passed out drunk in his vehicle, they moved him into the staged room. He woke up groggy and was told by a fake nurse that he had been in a coma for ten years after being in a horrible accident and that he needed to wait for a doctor. The doctor — who was actually Tom in disguise — explained the coma situation further, and tried to make his friend realize how bad his drinking and driving problem had become before revealing the truth.

The VP of public relations for Sonic apologized for this racist sign posted by an employee outside a company location in Missouri.

Not only is the sign offensive for invoking nasty stereotypes, but also lazily suggests that warring factions of Native Americans would use the tactics of the white man – fostering alcoholism and forcing people onto reservations – on each other. What ever happened to good ol’ noble savagery? Oh wait, that’s probably offensive too. Best to stick with a generic Go Chiefs the next time these teams meet.
