It was a party that seemed like it would never end.  At England’s historic Tan Hill Inn in the Yorkshire Dales, 60 party-goers decided to book the hall and celebrate the coming of the new year in grand fashion in England’s highest-altitude pub.  Unfortunately, they didn’t count on the freak series of snow storms that have hammered Britain and that buried the Tan Hill Inn beneath nearly 7 feet (or 2.1 meters) of snow!  That night of partying stretched to a four-day lock-in!

However, all was not lost, despite being stuck without taxi service.  Publican Tracy Daly allowed the customers to stay at the cut-rate price of 10 pounds per night, though there were some strict rules:  the bar didn’t open until 5 PM.  While the workers couldn’t get in and out to leave after work, the snowed-in partiers were reportedly very nice to staff and were consistently on their best behavior, which is great to hear.

It sounds like a blast to me.  I’d love to get snowed in with power and heat and alcohol and 60 of my closest friends, wouldn’t you?  Still, all good things must come to an end, and after day four, I imagine people were ready to change clothes and go home for a bit to sober up.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
