Shop offers free food but only for Liam Neeson. It works.
If you ever wanted to set up a trap to catch Liam Neeson, let Big Star Sandwich Co. in Canada teach you how.
After employees of the sandwich spot heard that Neeson would be filming up the block from the restaurant, they quickly wrote "Liam Neeson eats here for free" on a sign in hopes of catching the actor's attention.
Lo and behold— it actually worked.
Damn, if I had known it was this easy to meet celebrities, I would have put out a sign for Ryan Reynolds a long time ago.
Yep, it was definitely a long shot, but not even Liam Neeson could resist delicious free sandwiches in the end.
The restaurant even ended up naming a sandwich after him after his visit.
"The Neeson" has roast beef, bacon, habanero jack, chipotle mayo, bold BBQ sauce, lettuce, tomato, onions, and Hickory Sticks. Mmm, sounds like delicious heartburn.
Extra points if you say, "I will find you, and I will eat you" to your sandwich before you take your first bite.
It doesn't matter if you are rich and famous, just tell someone free food is involved and they will come running.
Celebrities— they really are just like us!

Congressman who rushed from surgery for Trumpcare vote slammed by Twitter.
Congressman Jason Chaffetz, who JUST had surgery for a pre-existing condition, left on a rolly-thing to go vote for Trumpcare, which, ironically, doesn't cover pre-existing conditions. And, of course, this did not go unnoticed by Twitter.

Miley Cyrus can stop, did stop smoking weed for a surprisingly un-Miley reason.
Growing up in the public eye, Miley Cyrus has been through many transformations.
We've watched her grow from Hannah Montana Miley to Tween Rockstar Miley to Psychadelic Bangerz Miley and now... meet Country Miley.
In a refreshingly candid interview with Billboard, Cyrus opened up about how much she's grown.
Reporter John Norris met Cyrus on "her leafy Malibu compound" that the 24-year-old shares with seven dogs, two pigs, two miniature horses, and her fiancé Liam Hemsworth.
Cyrus and Hemsworth famously reunited last year after a 2013 breakup, to the relief of teen 'shippers everywhere.
“I needed to change so much. And changing with someone else not changing like that is too hard," Cyrus says of the breakup. "Suddenly you’re like, ‘I don’t recognize you anymore.’ We had to re-fall for each other."
Part of Cyrus's personal growth was giving up the reefer.
Weed used to be a big part of her #brand.
Like, almost as much as Snoop Dogg.
Sitting by a light-up "It's 4:20 Somewhere" sign, Cyrus reveals "I haven’t smoked weed in three weeks, which is the longest I’ve ever (gone without it)," she said. "I’m not doing drugs, I’m not drinking, I’m completely clean right now!"
"But if anyone told me not to smoke, I would have not done it," she explained. "It’s because it was on my time. I know exactly where I am right now."
Cyrus quit smoking weed in order to help her stay focused:
I like to surround myself with people that make me want to get better, more evolved, open. And I was noticing, it’s not the people that are stoned. I want to be super clear and sharp, because I know exactly where I want to be.
Her new single, "Malibu," is a country-style love song for Hemsworth, and on her still-untitled, upcoming album, Cyrus wrote most of the melodies and lyrics herself.
While her Bangerz and Miley Cyrus and Her Dead Petz phases were mostly driven by a "DGAF" persona, Cyrus said that after Trump's election, people should actually be giving fucks.
“This record is a reflection of the fact that yes, I don’t give a fuck, but right now is not a time to not give a fuck about people,” she says. “I’m giving the world a hug and saying, ‘Hey, look. We’re good -- I love you.’ And I hope you can say you love me back.”

Guy pays someone's expired parking meter, leaves extremely business savvy note.
It's like the inspirational posters say, "Good things come to those who hustle." This particular insurance salesman is really taking that to heart.
A Reddit user recently posted a photo of a note that was left on their car by a kind, business savvy stranger.
"I paid your parking meter for you," the note reads. "Imagine what else I'm willing to do to protect your car." Attached to the note is a business card for Farmers Insurance salesman Andrew Cooney.
Mashable reached out to Cooney to confirm the note was real, and he assured them that paying people's parking meters is indeed a tactic he uses to market to new customers.
You make your own luck, kids.

Bride undeterred as minister accidentally interrupts vows in the grossest possible way.
No matter how much you've heard about the so-called "happiest day of your life," weddings are always tense. There's always the chance something could go wrong and cause a scandal in front of your entire extended family—the catering could be late, the flowers could be ugly, the groom could start vaping… the possibilities for disaster are endless. But the one person you never expect to ruin things is the minister. That's what makes this viral video so shocking.
To that bride's credit, she wasn't giving up so easily. She just soldiered right through her vows like nothing was amiss. We've got to respect that hustle.
Condolences to the minister, though. You never know when the chunks are coming. She just got dealt a bad hand.

This girl wore her mom's 22-year-old prom dress and slayed.
Prom is a pretty big deal for many high school students, and things can easily get pricey between the outfit, the corsage, the limo, the ticket...the list goes on. But instead of spending a small fortune on a brand new prom dress, senior Ally Johnson decided to wear her mother's 22-year-old gown to the big dance, and it looked just as gorgeous in 2017 as it did when her mother wore it back in 1995.
Plus, it held a sentimental value that money can't buy.
We have to say, we do miss those fabulous (and very '90s) long black gloves, though.
The Huffington Post reported that Ally's mother Lori offered up her now-vintage prom dress to her daughter for past dances, but Ally was never into the idea. However, after failing to find a gown she loved for her prom, she decided to give her mother's dress a go.
She then asked her grandmother, who had been saving the dress, if she could try it on. It fit like a glove and she fell in love with it instantly.
"It is very stretchy, which made it fit perfectly," Ally told The Huffington Post. "I was surprised because my mom had a very different build than I did when she was in high school."
Now Ally says she plans on holding on to the dress just in case she one day has a daughter who wants to wear it.
"I feel like I started a tradition," she told HuffPost. "I'm going to hold onto this dress and hopefully my daughter will be willing to wear it to her senior prom."

Delta employee allegedly 'slapped' phone out of 12-year-old passenger's hands. Never fly.
As if you needed another reason not to fly, here's the latest airline horror story to keep you grounded: A New York family is suing Delta Airlines after they claim a Delta employee "slapped" their 12-year-old son's phone out of his hand while they were waiting for a flight from La Guardia Airport in New York City to Florida last July, the New York Post reports.
On July 1, 2016, Matthew Boggan was traveling to Florida with 10 family members when their Delta flight was delayed 17 hours due to a "weather event," according to court papers. The Boggan family and other passengers had been forced to sleep in sleeping on the floor, according to Inside Edition.
So when the Delta agent came over to explain the situation to the weary passengers, Boggan, being a millennial, took out his phone and began recording on Snapchat. He wanted to film the passengers' reaction to the announcement, his attorney Terrence James Cortelli said.
The Delta ticketing agent said it was "illegal" for him to film the situation, the suit claims according to The Post. She then "smacked" the phone out of his hand, according to the lawsuit filed in Rockland County. "She just came over and hit me," Boggan told The Post. "My phone went flying. I was in shock."
You can watch the video, obtained by Inside Edition, here:
According to Matthew’s father, Brian Boggan, passengers responded by yelling: "this is child abuse."
Delta spokesman Anthony Black declined to comment on the incident, but a lawyer for the airline said Matthew "interfered with the Delta agent’s ability to communication an announcement." The Boggan family is seeking "unspecified damages" from Delta, the Post reports.
The Boggans first filed their suit last year, but Matthew Boggan claims the recent viral video of a Kentucky doctor being violently dragged off an over-booked United flight brought back "horrible memories" and he refuses to fly either United or Delta.
"I’ll only fly Jet Blue," he said. Yeah, us too.
Cortelli said both incidents signal a much larger problem with airline employees disregarding their passengers' needs. "They don’t care. They know we’re trapped," he said. "We have to do whatever they say."

With a suspenseful vote that came out to 217-213 and the stakes that are literally life and death, Twitter exploded with reactions.

Company promises free swimsuits for Instagram shares, immediately regrets it.
Sometimes, companies have marketing ideas that seem brilliant, but backfire almost immediately. (Pepsi, anyone?) A clothing company recently experienced this when they offered customers a free swimsuit.
Sunny Co Clothing posted an Instagram promotion on Tuesday. The rules were simple: share their photo of a model wearing the Pamela Sunny Suit to their own Instagram accounts within 24 hours, get a free swimsuit. (You'd still have to pay shipping and handling, but it was said that a portion of the proceeds would be donated to Alzheimer's research.)
The Instagram post has since been deleted, but we were able to grab a screen shot of the swimsuit in question:
Given that the suit (which, if I may say, is super cute) usually costs $64.99, a lot of people were quick to jump on the deal. Too many people. Like, thousands.
People who weren't participating in the deal soon had Sunny Co Clothing's Instagram showing up all over their social media feeds. And of course, Twitter exploded with swimsuit memes.
Some people pointed out that there are going to be a lot of awkward pool parties this summer where everyone shows up wearing the same suit.
Others vowed to stay off social media until the madness had passed.
Sunny Co Clothing later posted a statement to their Instagram, saying they were overwhelmed with responses and would honor the first 5,000 shares of their original promotion.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Sunny Co Clothing as they attempt to keep up with all these free swimsuit orders.

Psychologists say you should be masturbating in the one place you really don't want to.
Work stressing you out? Well, boy oh boy, do we have a solution for you, and it's not even day drinking. Apparently, if you want to make your work day better, happier and more productive, all you have to do is something that you usually do at home: masturbate. And this is according to actual trained psychologists, not your creepy co-worker Dave, Metro UK reports.
It's true. A recent article in Ravishly claimed that "fapping is the new smoke break." Only, unlike smoking, masturbation won't do irreparable damage to your lungs and teeth. Yay!
And psychologists actually agree. Mark Sergeant, a senior lecturer in psychology at Nottingham Trent University, told Metro UK that a masturbation break would be "very effective at work," and a "great way to relieve tension and stress."
He also thinks that "masturbation breaks" would provide a "self-motivational reward," giving you something to look forward after a long day of hoping your boss doesn't catch you reading Someecards articles at your desk.
A masturbation break could have other benefits as well. "I would expect a masturbation policy to result in more focus, less aggression, higher productivity, and more smiling," psychologist and life coach Dr. Cliff Arnall told Metro UK.
As if "more smiling" isn't enough of a perk, he added: "[C]ertainly taking a masturbation break for boredom or an escape would increase work focus."
As great as this plan sounds in theory, however, there are some, err, holes. For example, Dr. Arnall expressed some concerns about "timing" and "whether or not you’ll be able to orgasm" on your 1/2 hour lunch break while your boss is in the next cubicle.
He also points out that if you try to achieve orgasm and don't succeed, this could lead to increased frustration, which would pretty much negate all the positive effects of masturbating at work, including the smiling.
Also, there's the question of comfort and safety. Speaking of your creepy co-worker Dave, bringing sexual gratification into the office could "blur lines" and "open the door to inappropriate behavior," Metro UK warns.
"Introducing any form of sexual behavior to a workplace could be seen as a slippery slope that makes people think that other forms of sexual behavior, such as those linked to harassment, are more acceptable," said Dr. Arnall.
He recommended that employees not use their masturbation breaks to fantasize about a co-worker, because "this is likely to result in cognitive impairment." So, basically, if you're attracted to any of your co-workers, this plan is off the table (sorry, creepy Dave!).
You would also need to be confident that you can orgasm quickly in order for the stress relieving benefits to work. This would obviously give (most) men a slight advantage in this area. Just what we need, more male advantages in the workplace!
Finally, make sure you can get off "discreetly and quickly" and not somewhere that would make your co-workers uncomfortable. Your car? A single stall bathroom? The broom closet? You figure it out!
But if you check all the above boxes, then it might be time for an awkward convo with your boss about implementing this policy at your workplace. Don't worry, the pay-off will be great.

Enjoy earwax oozing out of an ear like caramel. It’s soothing to watch.

The video is so entrancing I found myself rooting for the earwax, waiting for it to be yanked like it was Excalibur.
Act I: The Discovery
Act II: The Extraction
Act III: Freedom
Enjoy the whole journey.
It's okay to start picking at your ears while you watch. It happens to everyone.

Video shows how 'douchebag style' has evolved in 70 years while douchebags have stayed the same.
There was a time when you could easily spot a douchebag by his wrap-around Oakley sunglasses and gelled spikey hairdo (see Ryan Seacrest circa the early 2000's for reference). But style evolves, making it harder to keep up with which guys you should aggressively avoid at your next singles mixer based on their appearance (of course, there are exceptions to every rule, but let's not take any risks).
Luckily, a new video from Circa Laughs, breaks down "70 Years of Evolving Douchebag Style" in this minute-long spoof of The Cut series "100 Years of Beauty."
There is, of course, an appearance by the man-bun. Warning: this video may or may not play like a time lapse of your terrible dating history. Sorry!
In summation, here's a brief recap of some of the douchebags you should avoid throughout history:
1940s: the guy with the creepy mustache.
1990's: the drunk frat guy with a puka shell necklace.
2010s: the man-bun who hits on women at yoga.
You're welcome.

Jimmy Fallon reads Twitter's most horrifying and hilarious #promfails.
Ah, isn't prom night magical?
Nothing says "a night to remember" like a bunch of gussied-up, horny teens awkwardly dancing to bad Top 40 music in overpriced dresses. However, for many, prom night can quickly turn into a nightmare when things go awry.
Indulge in some schadenfreude by watching Jimmy Fallon read viewers' most hilarious #promfail tweets that make what happened in Carrie look like a walk in the freaking park.
The Tonight Show host even shared his own #promfail picture.
My date didn't tell me she was getting a tan and high heels for the prom. Standing next to her I looked so pale and so small.
#PromFail
Honestly, that's not too embarrassing of a promfail, Jimmy. At least you didn't have to hug yourself in the pictures because you couldn't get a prom date.
Yeah, I would rather get pig's blood dumped on me, thankyouverymuch.

Kristen Bell helped a high schooler pull off the sweetest 'Frozen'-themed promposal.
Are we over promposals yet? Maybe, but this one is pretty damn cute. While guest hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday night, Kristen Bell helped pull off a pretty amazing Frozen-themed promposal.
Bell randomly selected two young women from the audience and said that she would give away Frozen-themed prizes to whoever went outside the studio and brought back the person dressed in the Kristoff costume first. After the two ladies left, Bell fessed up—one of them was an actor, and the other was part of an elaborate secret promposal planned by a fellow student named Michael who liked her. He got Kristen Bell involved, they roped in Sara's parents, and voila—Michael promposed to his crush Sara in front of millions of viewers, with the help of Bell's gorgeous voice and funny lyrics. And did she say yes? Gotta watch the video to find out!
