Vern Scoville has lots of experience building epic snowmen.  Last year, he built a 25-foot-tall snowman.  How do you top a 25-foot-tall snowman?  If you’re Vern Scoville, you build a 35-foot-tall snowman.  A man in Champion, New York, built a 35-foot-tall snowman with tires for buttons, a traffic cone for a nose, and a swimming pool for a hat on his Jefferson County property.  The massive snowman has been dubbed Big Frosty.

The snowman is plainly visible from Route 126, the nearby main road for the town 70 miles north of Syracuse, New York.  Scoville started building epic snowmen to bring his friends and family together after the holiday season.  I imagine this year, with record snowfalls in New York state, Scoville has plenty of snow to build his snowman.  While Big Frosty doesn’t breathe fire, he doesn’t need gimmicks to be awesome; he can just be himself.

Let’s just hope the local city bus doesn’t try to run down this snowman; there might be some trouble if that happens.  Not only do I think this giant snowman is bus-resistant, the local children would have a fit if their picture-taking buddy was demolished!

Usually, when someone talks about hot beats, it’s just because they really like the music.  However, one unnamed woman on a flight from Beijing, China, to Melbourne, Australia, got exposed to some really hot beats.  A woman’s headphone burst into flames while she was wearing them! It’s just not safe to enjoy yourself anymore, between […]

This will be the last Samsung Galaxy Note 7 to ever be on an airplane.  After all, the phone has been pulled from shelves and pockets all around the world, because the phones tend to, uh… catch fire and/or explode.  It’s not a laughing matter if you’re flying over the Rocky Mountains with one in […]

Since 2014, Craig Sager has been caught in the fight of his life.  He’s been battling leukemia since 2014, and he’s had multiple stem-cell treatments and rounds of radiation, and he continues to struggle against the disease for all he’s worth.  He’s been a very public face for most of his life, and now he’s engaged […]

The Red Cross is a wonderful organization.  When there’s trouble, the Red Cross is there setting up shelters and handing out food and water.  The Red Cross is normally very sensitive to the community needs around them, to boot.  However, sometimes, something will slip through the cracks that just looks wrong.  One of these things is […]

One of the most famous features of Matt Groening’s fictional town of Springfield is a strange one.  Springfield is home to a giant, perpetually burning tire fire.  I guess considering the town also has a nuclear plant that routinely leaks glowing green waste into the town’s water supply, the tire fire isn’t such a big […]

Gas prices don’t usually go down.  They go up.  Gas prices rose for decades, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly, but always up on a long enough timeline.  Not long ago, $4 a gallon for gas was a very real proposition.  Nobody thought prices would go in the other direction, and yet… gas prices are going down […]

Fashion designers look for inspiration everywhere.  Some of it is pop culture, like Friday the 13th-inspired hoodies.  Other fashions are inspired by low culture, like deluxe Snuggies.  Some people turn to the culture of their past for inspiration, like the 8-bit video games they grew up on.  Italian fashion house Moschino is partnering with Nintendo […]
