Best QUICK Halloween Costumes

Heading to a Halloween party this year, but don’t want to break the bank?

Whether you’re heading to a Halloween party, office get-together, or family costume party this year, and either don’t want to break the bank or just don’t have the energy for an elaborate costume, these quick fits are here to save the day!

Bobby Football

Not to be confused with “Johnny Football”, former Cleveland Browns “star” QB, Johnny Manziel, Bobby Football is everyone’s favorite ambiguous high school football player! A costume that works with ANY jersey paired with a football, relive your glory years on the gridiron as the guy who definitely didn’t peak in high school! Add in a cheap cloth knee brace for added realism, make sure you let people know you could’ve gone pro if it wasn’t for your bum knee!

Third Street Saint

Got an article of purple clothing? You’re in! The infamous Third Street Saints from the Saints Row Series are a gang who run the streets of Stilwater (and it’s with one L bitch!) draped in their iconic royal purple color! Be it a jersey, tank top, puffer coat, or even just a bandana, the Third Street Saints welcome all new recruits, so long as you aren’t afraid to be canonized.

DB Cooper

A heavy hitter for any costume contest, show out as the elusive DB Cooper! Not much is known about DB Cooper outside his plane jacking, bank robbing, disappearing lore, to the point where his identity is still unknown 54 years later due to the lack of description surrounding the man’s appearance. What’s known: He held a briefcase, had black sunglasses, and likely a suit. So if you’ve got a suitcase lying around, or a couple of bucks for Goodwill, you can bring a face to this name!

Rick Allen (Def Leppard)

Def Leppard’s Rick Allen famously lost an arm in a car accident but continued to drum—and became one of rock’s most inspiring musicians. This costume is equal parts funny, iconic, and respectful if done right.

All you need is a Def Leppard shirt (they sell them everywhere—seriously, even Walmart’s got you covered), jeans, and a pair of drumsticks. Tuck one arm inside your shirt, tie off the empty sleeve, and boom—you’re a rock god. Add a blonde wig and maybe a little 80s eyeliner for accuracy.

You’ll get laughs, respect, and maybe a few karaoke requests for Pour Some Sugar on Me.

Why Don’t People Spontaneously Combust Anymore?

Ever notice how no one talks about “Spontaneous Combustion” anymore?

In the latter part of the 20th century, reports of spontaneous human combustion (SHC) captured the public’s imagination, igniting fear and fascination alike. Stories of individuals mysteriously bursting into flames without any external ignition source circulated widely, prompting intense speculation and debate. However, as we step into the 21st century, such occurrences seem to have faded into obscurity. What led to this shift, and what does it reveal about our understanding of science and human nature?

During the 1990s, accounts of SHC proliferated in the media, often sensationalized and embellished for dramatic effect. Tales of individuals seemingly engulfed in flames from within, leaving behind nothing but ashes and charred surroundings, captured headlines and fueled urban legends. These reports typically described victims who burned with intense heat, yet nearby objects remained unscathed—a puzzling anomaly that added to the mystery.

But as scientific scrutiny intensified, doubts began to emerge regarding the veracity of these claims. Skeptics pointed to the lack of concrete evidence supporting the existence of SHC as a genuine phenomenon. Instead, they proposed alternative explanations, ranging from accidental fires caused by dropped cigarettes to the wicking effect of human fat aiding in the combustion process.

Advancements in forensic science and fire investigation further undermined the credibility of SHC. Detailed examinations of alleged cases revealed a common thread: the presence of external heat sources or combustible materials in close proximity to the victims. In many instances, underlying medical conditions such as alcoholism or obesity were identified as contributing factors, increasing the individual’s susceptibility to accidental fires.

Moreover, the decline of SHC reports coincided with the proliferation of digital media and instant communication platforms. As information became more accessible and widely disseminated, the spread of unsubstantiated claims became increasingly scrutinized. Debunking myths and pseudoscientific phenomena became a focal point for online communities and skeptical organizations, relegating SHC to the realm of folklore rather than scientific inquiry.

In the absence of credible evidence, the concept of spontaneous human combustion has largely faded from public consciousness. While occasional reports may still surface, they are met with skepticism and rational scrutiny rather than sensationalism. The shift away from SHC as a credible phenomenon reflects our evolving understanding of science and the importance of critical thinking in evaluating extraordinary claims.

As we look back on the era of SHC hysteria in the 1990s, it serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of misinformation and the power of scientific inquiry to dispel myths. While the allure of the unexplained may continue to captivate our imagination, it is through rigorous investigation and empirical evidence that we gain a deeper understanding of the world around us, leaving the mystery of spontaneous human combustion to smolder in the annals of history.

President Biden Signs New National Holiday Bill: Tuesday Feb. 22

Tuesday February 22nd becomes new National Holiday after bill signing goes wrong.

Tuesday February 22nd, or “TwosDay” as folks around the Internet have begun to call it do to its numerical pattern of 2/22/22, has officially become its own national holiday. The holiday however will not take up the “TwosDay” mantle but rather “Goof Day”.

The term Goof Day is typically used to describe a day of relaxation, fun, and “Goofing off”. The reason behind the selection of this name actually comes from an error that occurred during President Joe Biden’s recent signing of bill 2112 section 6 into law. The proposed bill would create stricter qualifications and a more thorough screening process for the approval of government aid programs like WICK. During the public signing however, President Biden was momentarily distracted by the attending press and actually signed Bill 2112 section 9 into law. This section of the bill was proposed by A member of the US Armed Forces, Leif Cassidy, and would officially recognize February 22nd as a National Holliday.

GoofDay as it is now being called will see the closures of Schools, Government Buildings, and all jobs not directly serving state administration. Banks however, will remain open. The bill claims the reason for this is due to, “people need a little extra dough to goof off now and days.”

Goof Day is quickly being used as a way to market Black Friday like sales, and cyber stores like the StyleRebelRadio.com Shop are already offering promotions up to 15% off with promo code “Goof”.

There is no current plan to reverse the ruling of this bill. We will continue to follow this story as it progresses.

Types of Chumps You Meet Hiking

As a somewhat experienced hiker myself. The general hiking crowd knows about these certain stereotypes and it rubs off on them in either positive or VERY negative ways. Most of these listed are going to follow the latter category, so enjoy.

1) The Yogi

Barefooters.org

Known as the most spiritual hikers out on the trail, these chumps usually have two reasons for being in the wilderness: they’re either looking for themselves or a new smoke spot. These free-going individuals usually spend extensive times in the woods even though they have a minimal home 30min-1hr away. To spot these chumps, look to see if they’re wearing shoes. If not, Yogi. Long dreads and tie-dye shirt? Yogi. Pungent stench? Either rock climber or Yogi. Climbers will be mentioned soon.

2.) Jesus Christ

123rf.com

These are one of the most common chumps you’ll bump into while hiking. It’s pretty straight forward and easy to recognize these guys. Running into more than 3 Jesus Christs while hiking is a pretty normal thing. Many that read these fit this category pretty well. You look like a Yogi, but we know you’re not. So stop being a FAKE.

3.) Enlisted/Vets

Local12.com

If you think you see Chris Kyle while hiking? Don’t worry. It’s just another identical looking military veteran. It’s pretty easy to spot these guys. Just look for the short hair, beard, and American flag patch on his S.O.G. Backpack. Sometimes they’re with kids, sometimes alone. If they’re still enlisted, check for their boots. They might still be the same ones issued to them on their last deployment.

4.) Commando!

The trek.com

We know that there’s a debate between practicality and health when it comes to not wearing your undies while hiking. What isn’t a debate however, is seeing a lot of asscheek and a lot of nipples poking through shirts while on populated trails. No hate on either end, but sometimes even an outdoorsman can witness too much.

5.) DJ KHALED!

Alamy.com

I don’t know how many times it has to be addressed. It IS rude to blast your music while hiking. Most hikers try to get away from the material world and you’re bringing them right back in by listening to modern era radio music. Most of the time, it’s either rap or pop that these chumps listen to and sometimes, you don’t even need to see them to know where they’re at. Take a breath once in a while, smell the fresh air, and enjoy the natural world.

6.) The Good Boy/Girl

Dailypaws.com

Being the most wholesome on the list, the Good Boy/Girl is always a pleasure to see while hiking. Many receive the biggest of treats and pets for staying on the trail or finding the biggest stick to give to their owner. Very few and very sad individuals dislike this category.

7.) The Ultra

Massultra.com

Being the most hardcore on the list, these chumps will smoke anybody on the trail to obtain their new PR. Training for months at a time for one race, these guys/gals will always be seen from afar wearing their running shorts, headphones, and fanny packs booking it up or down to the trailhead. Respect for doing it, but everything isn’t a competition. Some haven’t learned that yet.

8.) Insta Hoe

Fineartamerica.com

Located at the trailheads or 1/4 of the way through. These chumps are always paying attention to their social media following and sponsorships instead of the natural world. Being in either large groups or solo, it’s best to stay away from these chumps because they tend to be very extroverted and have little to no knowledge of the trail itself. Clout>beauty to them.

9.) Rock Climbers

Hiconsumption.com

You can find these sweaty chumps off trail and high up. These guys may also qualify as Yogis depending on how into it they are. Parking near the trailheads in their vans, they either reside solo as a Boulder bro or in groups as sport/trad nerds. They are either really quiet and awkward or way too extroverted (there’s no in between). They’re a cult and always talk about their pumps.

10.) The Geezer

Picfair.com

Being spotted as soon as the park opens, these chumps know everything about the history of the park and have been through almost every scenario that you bring up. They’ll pass you and very loudly say “Good Morning!” Then make a dad joke that’ll make you exhale loudly when you pass them. They are slower because of their age, but they have been doing it since 75 baby!

How To Get NFTs for FREE

So, You’ve got an extra $2000 that you want to throw away in a digital trash can rather than a physical. Enter NFT’s. You’ve been good, why not treat yourself to some metadata for a poorly rendered piece of “art”. But what’s this, you refused to pull out your net profit in crypto six months ago when it peaked and now find yourself in a constant battle with the refresh page button over your diminutive decimal point value? Not to worry my friend, even you can still get yourself some NFTs.

So what exactly is an NFT anyway? NFTs or Non-Fungible Tokens are more or less one-of-one digital “art” pieces that belong to a blockchain. What does that mean to you? Essentially you can be extra and own the data behind this artwork or media for bragging rights… I suppose. Once you buy an NFT it’s yours, no one else can buy that same blockchain unless you decide to sell it. NFTs can come in a multitude of media sources including, but not limited to, PNG files, GIFs, Videos, Jpeg files, etc.

But here’s the thing right… while it may be a weird niche flex to own the metadata and blockchain behind some little 8-bit sprite some dude on the internet likely created for next to nothing, at the end of the day you bought it because it looks cool. To clarify everything that is about to follow, in regards to the images and other media referenced, it is implied these will NOT be used for commercial or monetary use. The theoretical use of these images will be purely for the viewer’s own enjoyment.

Okay legal disclaimer aside, you buy NFTs ultimately because you like how they look. Now think back to your first iPod touch. You downloaded that generic wallpaper app and went to town downloading and screen-shoting every dope looking design under the sun. To that vein, what is honestly stopping you from taking a picture or downloading the media file of an NFT? If strictly for your own enjoyment why not? You don’t plan on selling it so that aspect is out the window. It’s digital artwork that can been seen on the vast, readily available resource that is the internet. If the reason you want to buy an NFT is to have some little animated computer generated image to yourself, take a picture man. No need to shell out $2,000 for something that is restricted to a digital platform. Hell, Print it out for all I care. Below is an example of a PNG file I have created… yeah I made it just to cover any other bases here… feel free to take a picture or download it to your liking. For all intensive purposes this is an NFT, I am the only one who possesses the coding and metadata file this was made on.

PNG made by Yours Truly Via Spark… For Free

On second thought, If you’d like to pay me $450 for that, I’m willing to talk.

(This is a satirical piece written for StylesRebelRadio.com)

Children’s movies that had the dopest soundtracks.

Growing up as musician I always appreciated a well put together soundtrack in a movie so here we go…

  1. The 1999 Disney film Tarzan

All I’m saying is that Phill Collins and Mark Mancina lit that shit up the song You’ll be in my heart was the best song to ever come from anything disney.

2. The 2006 film Curious George

Jack Johnson is one of my favorite artists every single one of his songs will get stuck in your head not to mention how much of a banger the song upside down from this movie will never not play in my head constantly.

3. The 2019 film Frozen II

I wouldn’t normally put either of the frozen movies on the list but the song Lost in the woods by Kristoff played by an amazing artist Johnathan Groff this song hits different.

4. The 2006 film Cars

This film had some absolute bangers including Real gone by Sheryl Crom, Our Town by James Taylor, Route 66 by Chuck Berry, Life is a highway by Rascal Flatts and many many more the soundtrack to cars happens to be in my Spotify liked music so take that for what you will.

5. 2012 film Wreck it Ralph

Wreck it Ralph was not the best film by far but it did have an awesome soundtrack like Owl city’s when can I see you again, sugar rush by AKB48, and not to mention Rihanna’s shut up and drive also not excluding the complete Rick Roll at the end phenomenal.

Moral of the story here is not every movie is great alone but a dope soundtrack can really elevate a movies greatness.

Scholastic Book Fair

…but for adults

I’d imagine that the adult scholastic book fair would possibly offer a wide range of different categories of books, magazines, planners, and adult coloring books like the ones with the swear words. As well as tiny do dad’s similar to the chocolate bar calculator, drum stick pencils, and slap bracelet rulers but more like a small dehumidifier, google homes, and maybe small DIY kits.

The book categories:

• Romance novels

• Pornographic magazines

• Pre-mentioned adult coloring books

• All the Harry Potters of course

• Planners

• Writing prompt books

• Anime items

• Political genre

• And many more

I do believe that an adult scholastic book fair would be amazing, do it in the same style as well like it would be a pop-up shop in your local library or even better a pop-up at your nearest Barnes and Nobel.

In truest scholastic book fair fashion all the proceeds would go to something good, but have I put that much thought into this, no.

Anyway I will always be mentally at the scholastic book fair and I will not rest until I get to go to another one.

I Died and Woke Up Benching

It was a typical afternoon after the bombs fell. Sierra was helping me prepare my favorite gin and coke when I randomly got this urge to just punch something. No, my name isn’t Kyle and I don’t drink monsters everyday but sometimes you just get that urge to break things yaknow? I walked outside and the closest thing that I saw that wasn’t mine was a nearby fire hydrant.

Bendpak.com

After punching it, I realized that my raw strength was too much for this pathetic little yellow hydrant. With regret in my heart, I decided to try and fix it before the fire department arrived. I grabbed the nearest tools that I had in my truck and ran over to the Geiser that I created.

Almanac.com

My maintenance skills seemed to prove me right as well….but not well enough. As I was fixing the fire hydrant, I knew it would be a one way trip. The pressure was too much to hold by myself and knowing that I could get engulfed any second, I was ready to meet the end.

Quora.com

After tightening the last bit of the hydrant, I close my eyes and when I open them, I’m confused. I’m lying down in some random gym and I’m repping 225 like it’s nothing? What’s going on? I finish my set and look around. Nothing seems to have changed about me other than the fact that I can now bench 225 for reps. I get a call from a random number.

Freepik.com

“Hello Andrew this is Dr. Phillips calling as an update of your health since the accident. We did some more studies and we concluded that your condition was related to the accident and that it will progressively grow over time. The next chance you get, we request for you to schedule another appointment with us. Thank you and bye bye now.”

Alygeorges.wordpress.com

This isn’t anything that I wanted. This wasn’t supposed to be how my life went. I was so much better than this. The pain in my head keeps growing like demons clouding my thoughts. I know what I must do to stop this endless curse.

Reddit.com

I return to the spot that started this all. I see that retched metal tube of water that ruined my life. This is our last fight buddy. I wrap my arms around it and tear it out of the concrete. The pressure explodes but it does nothing to me because of this “condition.” I look down into its soul while it’s in my arms and I whisper to it,

“This is Andrew W.K. and this is Destroy, Build, Destroy.”
