TSA warned Europeans not to try to fly home from the World Cup with bottles of ranch dressing.

Kraft is now releasing a pack of TSA-compliant ranch packets that add up to a full bottle.

Claw trimming time!
One marmot has already accepted its fate… while the other is completely losing it at every single snip.
A scene that’s as hilarious as it is wildly theatrical! ❤️😂😂

No David Lee Roth, no singer at all! Just Eddie Van Halen performing “Panama” with Paul Shaffer & the David Letterman Band, June 1985
Eddie’s wife Valerie Bertinelli was a guest & Eddie stepped up! More!
RIP, legend!🎸🤘

There’s no such thing as a perfectly compatible partner — only one who’s truly willing to adapt and make it work.

Happy “Agony of Defeat Guy” Day if you’re observing it.

56 years ago today, March 21, 1970, a 22-year old Slovenian ski jumper Vinko Bogataj took the iconic spill at the World Ski Jumping Championships in West Germany.

“DAD, HOW GOOD WAS EARL CAMPBELL IN HIS PRIME?”

Campbell was the most bruising and scariest running back to ever play the game of football.

Elvis Presley’s first television appearance, in 1956.

Elvis Presley’s first national television appearance didn’t happen on The Ed Sullivan Show, as many people believe, but on the Dorsey Brothers’ Stage Show, a CBS variety program hosted by big band stars Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey. On this day, January 28, 1956, the 21-year-old Presley took the stage in New York, introduced by disc jockey Bill Randle, who boldly predicted he might make television history.

Wearing a black shirt, white tie, and tweed jacket, Elvis launched into a medley of “Shake, Rattle and Roll” (sliding into “Flip Flop and Fly”), followed by “I Got a Woman,” complete with hip movements so provocative they stunned audiences. His raw energy clashed sharply with the Dorsey orchestra’s polished swing style. While some band members found his look and moves shocking or “dirty,” Tommy Dorsey himself saw star power, defending Elvis against critics like Jackie Gleason and forecasting his rise.

The reaction was split: angry letters poured in from viewers offended by the suggestive camera angles, yet ratings surged—especially in the South, where the show had been struggling. The Dorseys had booked Presley specifically to revive viewership, initially signing him for four appearances at $1,250 each, later increasing the fee. Elvis ultimately appeared nine times through March 24, performing songs like “Tutti Frutti,” “Baby Let’s Play House,” “Blue Suede Shoes,” and “Heartbreak Hotel,” his breakout RCA hit that soon topped the charts.

Those early television moments helped ignite the rock ’n’ roll revolution and propelled Elvis from rising talent to cultural phenomenon in just a few short years.

Wow, this is so amazing.
