“Gotta Get Down on Friday”
If you’re a fan of the movie “Friday the 13th” – you can now enter for a chance to win a stay the campsite where the movie was filmed. A VIP package for Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco, which is typically used as a Boy Scout camp, is up for auction until Feb. 27. The package includes an activity with dinner, a stay in the camp’s log cabins and breakfast with another activity in the morning.
The overnight stay will take place on April 13, which just so happens to be a Friday. Crystal Lake Tours is also offering a lottery for tours of the camp to take place April 13-14. The deadline for that ends March 4.
Tickets are going for $135 to $175. Adrienne King, who played the lone survivor in the movie, will attend the festivities. No word if Jason Voorhees will make an appearance.
“💩”
Poop is becoming a very popular trend among toy companies. Mattel is the latest to jump on the bandwagon with their new game Flushin’ Frenzy, which features a flying brown plastic poop. Hasbro’s toilet trouble was popular last year and they’re adding to their poop games with Don’t Step In It. The game has players avoid stepping in poop shaped clay while blindfolded.
But that’s not all. Sticky the Poo is a squishy fellow with eyes and can cling to walls and ceilings. Toy company, Hog Wild also created a rainbow version, Sticky Unicorn Poo. Of course Sticky the Plunger is sold separately. So what’s with the poop? We can thank a certain poop emoji for that.
Toy analyst for the NPD Group Juli Lennett says, “Yeah, poop is a theme.” Experts say the wildly popular poop emoji is making poop toys cool for parents to buy their kids. Lennett adds, “Kids think it’s funny.”
“Read Label Before Using”
A Detroit man used a smoke bomb in his crawl space to get rid of the skunks in his house. Though it worked, he nearly burned his house down in the process. When firefighters arrived, his crawlspace and first floor already had flames. Officials warn that pest control should be called if critters are in the home, but if you’re desperate to take care of the situation yourself, understand the instructions on a smoke bomb before applying it to your home.
“In West Philadelphia, Born & Raised”
Philadelphia police received a strange call that a dinosaur was roaming the streets. Officers responded to the call, but were put at ease once they realized what was going on. They posted a video of a person dressed as a T-Rex taking their kid to school. Officers completed their investigation with a “No problem. Clear.”
