9-Year-Old Rugby Player Will Run You Over

There’s always that one kid in your age group that hits their growth spurt early and then dominates your childhood athletics for a season or two. Well, this kid is a growth spurt or or two ahead of the game.

Meet Meaalofa Te’o, the 9-year-old rugby player who is A FREAKIN’ BULLDOZER IN FULL AGGRO MODE. Seriously, this little dude is a beast, almost single-handedly winning his team a trophy in a recent Australian rugby tournament.

I’m 27, and even I would step out the way if this kid was barreling toward me. He’s an unstoppable force. Parents with kids in that league, the value of forfeit is not to be forgotten…for your child’s safety!

(Time.com)

If you didn’t LOVE Mad Max: Fury Road, you probably don’t have a pulse, but this is an interesting look at it.

Some lovable human decided to compile real shots of the movie, minus the special effects.

                                                                                                                 

 

Mattress Store Has the WORST. PROMOTION. EVER.

There is a long history in our country of retailers taking advantage of holidays and observance days like Veterans Day and Presidents’ Day to have special sales.

SEPTEMBER 11TH SHOULD NOT BE ONE OF THEM!

And yet, Miracle Mattress in San Antonio, TX thought that it was a great idea, and also went ahead put together an INCREDIBLY INSENSITIVE ADVERTISEMENT featuring two employees diving into towers of mattresses and knocking them down.

They’ve since apologized (not that anyone is willing to hear it) and the store has since closed. Likewise, the employees should be driven forth from our land.

Things Will Get Stranger in 2017

If you’re even remotely plugged into pop culture, you’ve been graced by the phenomenon of Stranger Things, the breakout Netflix Original Series that debuted this year to some 14-odd million downloads and became the Most Popular Download Series.

It was an inevitability that we would get a season 2, and it was officially announced just this morning with the following teaser…

Aside from announcing that Stranger Things season 2 is indeed coming, it confirmed that it’s coming in 2017, so it’s coming quickly. The teaser also gave us the rundown of episode titles for our next trip to Hawkins, Indiana:

1) “Madmax”
2) “The Boy Who Came Back to Life”
3) “The Pumpkin Patch”
4) “The Palace”
5) “The Storm”
6) “The Pollywog”
7) “The Secret Cabin”
8) “The Brain”
9) “The Lost Brother”

Even better, this next season is going to be longer than the first by one whole episode. For someone who loved this show as much as me, you can’t really ask for much more than that.

For more details on the new season, check out this article from Entertainment Weekly which contains some info on the new season from the series creators themselves, the Duffer Brothers.

I don’t know about you, but I am ready for some Strange(r Things)!
