Neighbors Angered By Anti-Loitering Message At Phoenix Taco Bell
A Taco Bell in Phoenix is having to take drastic measures after loitering has plagued the restaurant. The loitering has gotten so bad that they have taken to blaring the following loud message over speakers in the parking lot, “Thanks for visiting Taco Bell. This property is being monitored for guest safety and security. Loitering is not allowed and will be alerted to law enforcement.” Obviously if you lived within listening distance of this Taco Bell, it would be annoying in the wee hours of the night. Phoenix police have vowed to work with locals to help resolve the situation.

Woman Calls Out Of Work Because Of A Seal
A woman in Tasmania called out of work because a seal was blocking her car. Amber Harris had to call out of work when “Neil the Seal” was blocking her car. Neil is an elephant seal that weighs over 1,300 pounds. Neil is well known in this community and is often seen coming onto the land and sunning himself around town. This particular day, Neil decided that he wanted to park himself directly in from of Amber’s car. There’s not much you can do when a 1,300 pound animal decides to block your car, so she had to call out of work. Fortunately however, Neil only stayed around for a few hours and then went on his merry way and Amber was able to get to work.

Jason Kelce and His Brother Travis Sing A Duet In Preview Of Christmas Album
The Eagles Philly Special Christmas Album was one of the best parts of last year’s holiday season. And now it is back. Jason Kelce, Lane Johnson, and Jordan Mailata are lending their voices to a second album. “A Philly Special Christmas” is coming out this December. We have already seen two of the songs that will be on the album, ‘All I Want For Christmas’ by Jordan Mailata, and ‘This Christmas’ with guest star Patti LaBelle.
But now we get an early look at a third song, and it’s a brotherly duet featuring Jason and Travis Kelce. The brothers paired up to sing “Fairytale of Philadelphia” a spin on The Pogues classic “Fairytale of New York.”
It’s the first time we have gotten to hear from one of the “Philly Specials” other than Mailata. “All I Want For Christmas Is You” was mostly Mailata, with Jason and Lane singing background vocals. And then “This Christmas” was a duet between Mailata and Patti Labelle.
While Jason and Travis certainly are not as good of singers as Mailata, and they obviously can’t touch the greatness of the legend Patti Labelle, there is still a ton of charm in the song. And it features some of the best lyrics ever put in a Christmas Album.
“Youse a lush, you’re a crumbum, you smell like some old scum
Washed up from the Schuylkill and rotting away
You dirtbag, you phony, ya lousy jabroni
Happy Christmas, you a**, I pray God it’s our last”
Some other songs still to come on the Christmas album include “The Christmas Song” featuring Amos Lee, “Dominick The Donkey”, “Christmas Time Is Here” with the Philly Special Children’s Choir, Howie Roseman singing “The Dreidel Song”, a Jason Kelce original song called “Santa’s Night”, “Pretty Paper” featuring Waxahatchee, “Auld Lang Syne”, and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.”
The album is set to debut on December 1st, and you can pre-order right here. All proceeds go to the Children’s Crisis Treatment Center and the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
Here are the other songs they have already released:
