Luckiest school district on earth eliminates Mondays, moves to four-day week

If you thought your dad had it tough, having to walk uphill to school both ways and all, just wait, you're about to feel a whole lot worse. Not only does Colorado school district 27J have fancy schmancy buses for ferrying their students across all manner of elevation change, they are also—and this is where it gets crazy—officially eliminating Mondays and moving to a four-day school week, effective August 2018. Now if you'll excuse us, I think we need a moment…
FacebookPinterestFacebookPinterestFacebookPinterestPhew, OK. Anyway. Where we're we? Oh right, according to local sources, the school—which serves four towns in the Denver metro area—is discarding a long, proud lineage of adolescent suffering in order to increase the district's appeal to prospective teachers and students alike.
“We really feel like Monday is the day to prepare and to be better for kids,” superintendent Chris Fiedler said, barely containing his excitement about the prospect of three-day weeke..

Thought your gender reveal party was creative? This one had an alligator

If there's a dumber, more insufferable trend than gender reveal parties, I'd love to know what it is. Unfortunately though, they appear like they are very much here to stay, each one attempting to be more creative than the last. After all, the celebs do them! That means us normals MUST follow suit in order to achieve maximum like counts on Instagram.
But it's safe to say none will top this one making the rounds on Twitter on Tuesday, and hopefully it puts an end to them all. Because its without a doubt the most unique, creative, and downright dangerous gender reveal video you'll ever see. Why? Well, it features a live alligator, one that these partygoers don't seem too frightened of:

Gotta love the South, where the only real way to find out if your kid is going to be a boy or a girl is by possibly getting your arm chomped on by a gator.
Move over Cody Gribble, you've been upstaged by this soon-to-..

Feast your eyes on possibly the longest, and definitely most impressive, putt ever made

There's a bit of debate on who owns the world record for longest putt made. Brett Stanford of the group How Ridiculous made a 395-foot bomb in February 2017, although it technically wasn't a putt as much as a shot converted with a putter. Guinness recognizes Jack Nicklaus and Nick Price both sinking 110-footers in tournament play, with Bob Cook draining a putt from 140 feet at St. Andrews during a 1976 International Fourball event. And we'd be remiss in forgetting Michael Phelps' 159-foot roll of pure beauty at the 2012 Dunhill Links.
But, in all due respect to the aforementioned feats, this dandy from Zac Radford might be the best.
Radford, a mini-tour player, filmed himself going deep on the Golf Club of Tennessee's practice green, posting the video on his Twitter account Tuesday morning:

No word if Bugs Bunny was guiding this bad boy towards the hole with a magnet.
By eye, it certainly seems to be ..

We played (most of) opening day using NES baseball games

Baseball’s 2018 opening day is weird: Instead of the traditional method of staggering their first games, all major league teams open on March 29 — the earliest date in MLB history, and one that will probably find you plopped at work understandably believing the season doesn’t start for another four days. But not to worry, baseball friends! You’ll miss nothing, as we have simulated the ENTIRE DAY already, using sabermetrics and psychotropic research and Theo Epstein’s algorithm-spitting robot from the future and TECHNOLOGY, by which we mean 15 baseball games made for the Nintendo Entertainment System.
FacebookPinterestLET US STOP YOU RIGHT THERE, because we know what you are about to WHINE: Many baseball teams from 30 years ago contained ENTIRELY DIFFERENT PLAYERS! Many of your favorite squads and also the Marlins didn’t even EXIST THEN! And many video game companies didn’t even spring for MLB RIGHTS so your “Pittsburgh Pirates” might actually be VIOLENT DROIDS WITH ARM CANNONS AND TREA..
