Cristiano Ronaldo Has Zero Chill When It Comes to Modelling
We get it, Cristiano Ronaldo. You’re sexier than like 150% of the world’s population. When you look that good, of course you’re going to show it off. But we ask, can you find just some chill in your posing?
Thanks to the folks at Style for the tip, but Ronaldo really likes to go for it in his modelling. Now everyone likes to stunt and flex on social media, but Ronaldo really likes it. His Twitter feed features much of his posing for the fashion world. Lucky for him, he happens to be really, really ridiculously good-looking. You don’t pose that often in your underwear if you aren’t.
Check out Ronaldo’s posing below.

Jesse Ventura’s Emphatic Plea To Legalize Marijuana
You know the debate over marijuana regulation is full mainstream when it hits innocuous daytime television.
On an episode of the syndicated midday TV staple “The Doctors,” Jesse Ventura, former Navy SEAL, Minnesota governor and professional wrestler, emphatically endorsed legalization.
The longtime advocate for the plant was on the program promoting his book “Jesse Ventura’s Marijuana Manifesto.” During the airing of the show, shared how his wife was suffering from epileptic seizures up to three times a day. After unsuccessfully trying numerous medications over the years, his wife began treating her seizures with medical marijuana.
Her seizures stopped, Ventura said, and his wife is no longer taking pharmaceutical medications for her condition.
“My life was given back to me,” he said. “I don’t want anyone else out there suffering, that doesn’t have to suffer.”
In his book, Ventura calls for an end to the War on Drugs.
“Just because something is illegal, that doesn’t mean it goes away, it just means that criminals run it,” he says.
Marijuana legalization opponent Kevin Sabet, executive director of Project SAM, was also on the program, making the argument that cannabis regulation is akin to “Big Tobacco.”

Liquid Kitchen® Presents: Harvest Dark & Stormy Cocktail
As legendary Cubs announcer Harry Caray once said…
It’s fall, the Cubs not only went to the World Series, they WON it, and now Caray’s grave is covered in dozens of green apples from loyal fans across the city. Maybe it’s time to stock-up! From fresh pressed apple ciders, to cheddar topped pies and tarts, there will be plenty of other reasons to pick-up a bundle of fresh green apples this season, but none will be this memorable. If an apple a day keeps the doctor away, I wonder what this Harvest Dark & Stormy Cocktail with Green Apple Ginger Puree will do to keep the Cubs Curse at bay…..
Harvest Dark & Stormy
(Makes 1 Cocktail)
- 1½ ounces dark/aged or spiced rum
- 1 ounce Green Apple Ginger Puree (recipe follows)
- ½ ounce fresh lemon juice
- 1½ – 2 ounces ginger beer
- Garnish: candied ginger and apple slice on a pick
Measure the rum, puree, and lemon juice into a mixing glass and fill with ice, cap and shake vigorously. Pour drink into a tall glass, top with ginger beer and give a quick stir. Garnish with the candied ginger and apple slice.
Green Apple Ginger Puree
(Makes 20 oz)
- 2 Granny Smith apples, diced ½-inch (about 3 cups)
- 2 Tablespoons minced fresh ginger
- 1½ cups water
- 1½ cups sugar
Measure the apples, ginger, water and sugar into a saucepan. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer for about 5 minutes or until apples are very tender. Remove pan from heat and let cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, pour contents into a Vitamix blender cup and blend until smooth (#5 setting on Vitamix The Quiet One Blender).
Store refrigerated for up to 7 days.

Police Searching for Man Who Drove Over His Own Leg After Leaving Strip Club
It happens to the best of us: Last week, police say a Florida man who left a strip club at about 2:15 am managed to drive over his own leg with his pickup truck before the then-driverless vehicle crashed into a nearby home.
The Orlando Sentinel reports that Florida state troopers believe the 28-year-old man, whose name they haven’t released, drove his truck for about one block after leaving the strip club before he somehow fell out of the vehicle. The truck, a 2016 Ford, then ran over his leg and continued rolling into a house, causing minor injuries a 58-year-old woman inside.
The man then fled the scene, state troopers said, and remains at large. Charges may be pending, though we’d like to believe the damaged truck, leg, and pride is probably sufficient enough punishment.

Election Day: Forget Red And Blue, Will These Nine States Go Green?
The ugliest, nastiest, most divisive election season in modern times is coming to an inglorious thud in a matter of days. For most Americans, Election Day can’t come soon enough.
Most of the electoral focus has been laser-focused on the presidential fight — and rightly so. But when the dust settles and the votes are tallied across the nation on Tuesday night, 34 states (plus Washington D.C.) could have some form of legal marijuana.
Nine states have marijuana measures on this year’s ballot. Five — including the Big Enchilada, California — will vote on legalizing adult recreational use. Arizona, Maine, Massachusetts and Nevada also will be voting for full legalization.
Three others — Florida, Arkansas, and North Dakota — will vote on medical marijuana programs. Montanans will decide whether or not to ease restrictions on an existing medical marijuana law.
A recent Gallup poll revealed that 60 percent of Americans are in favor of legalizing marijuana, but state-by-state polling on specific ballot initiatives tell a slightly different story. Our partners at the Law Street Journal have broken it down the ballot measures:
- What The Marijuana Measures On The Ballot Mean: Arizona, Maine, Calif. and Mass.
- What The Marijuana Measures On The Ballot Mean: Nevada, Arkansas, Florida
- What The Marijuana Measures On The Ballot Mean: Montana and North Dakota
Of the states voting on cannabis reform, none is more important than California. More money and political muscle has been spent in The Golden State than all other states combined. Indeed, if California passes Proposition 64 — The Adult Use of Marijuana Act — it would be a watershed moment in the decades-long march toward national legalization.
“In addition to California’s population size and enormous economic and cultural significance, legalizing marijuana there will be hugely politically impactful,” said Tom Angell, chairman of Marijuana Majority, a drug reform advocacy group.
This is not the first time Californians have had marijuana on the ballot. Twenty years ago, the state’s voters passed Prop. 215, becoming the first state in the nation to allowing the use of medical cannabis. But in 2010, California rejected Prop. 19, which would have legalized it recreationally. Two years later, Colorado and Washington became the first states to allow for legal recreational use.

In the failed 2010 vote, only 11 of the state’s 58 counties supported the initiative. Voters in the Emerald Triangle — Humboldt, Trinity and Mendocino counties, where the majority of the cannabis farms are located — rejected the plan. Many longtime growers will likely vote against Prop. 64 this year.
“California’s looking good, so is medical marijuana in Florida, and I’m confident we’ll prevail in other states as well,” said Ethan Nadelmann, executive director of the Drug Policy Alliance. “We’re fast approaching the day when Americans will look back on the marijuana wars of recent decades the same way we now look back on alcohol Prohibition – as a costly, foolish and deadly mistake.”
But most polls suggest a resounding victory for marijuana legalization in California this time around, which would turn the entire West Coast, from San Diego to Seattle, green.

Couchlock! What Media To Watch This Week: 11/4/2016
Welcome to The Fresh Toast’s guide to what to watch this week. We’ll help you sort through the endless options available on cable, network TV, online, and in theaters to find the best show or movie to check out over the weekend while on couchlock.
The Crown
The highly anticipated 10-episode series about Queen Elizabeth II as a young woman, which debuts on Netflix today, was created by Peter Morgan, who was nominated for an Academy Award for his excellent screenplay for The Queen. The show, rumored to be Netflix’s most expensive ever with an estimated budget of $100 million, has gotten mostly rave reviews so far. Vanity Fair calls it “a stately success, alluring and easily digested, as high-end as anything can get without being profound,” and the New York Times says it offers an “orgy of sumptuous scenes and rich performances.” Watch the trailer above.
Into the Inferno
Werner Herzog’s new Netflix documentary examines volcanoes around the world. In it, Herzog pairs with volcanologist Clive Oppenheimer, who he briefly worked with on Encounters at the End of the World, his documentary about life on Antartica. Together, Herzog and Oppenheimer explore active volcanoes in Iceland, Indonesia, and Ethiopia, interviewing local residents and experts. Like all of Herzog’s work, the film considers more than just the physical threat and history of the the explosive mountains; it also delves into the impact the geological wonders had on local myths and customs. Watch the trailer above.
Supersonic
In the early 1990s, before the brother’s Gallagher became legendary shit-stirrers with songs beloved–or at least remembered–by millions, they were an unsigned band with no press attention or fans rehearsing in a dingy studio space in Manchester. Just three years later, they were the biggest band in the United Kingdom and preparing to play a concert for 250,000 people over two days. Through extensive interviews and animated recreations, Mat Whitecross’s film details the group’s meteoric and chaotic rise, which involved all the great rock and roll cliches: drugs, women, money, and booze. Watch the trailer for the film, which is available on iTunes and On Demand, above.
Moonlight
What will probably be the year’s best movie just got an expanded release in theaters. Do yourself a favor and go see it.
Naked Florida Man With Electronic Device Attached To Penis Arrested
Florida men are known for all sorts of bizarre crime, but as far as we know this is the first one to be arrested after attaching a wire-covered electronic device to his penis, which he then allegedly showed to a stranger on the street as he slowly drove his Toyota Camry while naked.
The New York Daily News reports that Kurt Allen Jenkins drove down a street while fully nude and “gestured at the victim to look down towards his groin area, where the victim observed an electronic device with wires attached to Jenkins penis,” according to the Boynton Beach Police Department’s report. Jenkins then allegedly propositioned the person.
WPBF reports that the 56-year-old refused to comply when confronted by police, forcing an unlucky officer to tackle him to the ground. Jenkins was arrested and charged with lewd and lascivious exhibition, exposure of sexual organs and resisting a law enforcement officer without violence.

Watch The Druggy, Surreal NSFW Trailer For ‘T2: Trainspotting’
Nearly 20 years after the cult classic Trainspotting was released, Ewan McGregor’s Renton, Johnny Lee Miller’s Sick Boy, Robert Carlyle’s Begbie and Ewen Bremmer’s Spud have reunited for more drug- and sex-filled shenanigans for a sequel titled T2: Trainspotting.
Screencrush reports the film is loosely based on the sequel to Irving Welsh’s Trainspotting novel, Porno. Danny Boyle, who helmed the 1996 original, will once again direct based on a script by Ted Hodges. Here’s the official synopsis:
First there was an opportunity……then there was a betrayal. Twenty years have gone by. Much has changed but just as much remains the same. Mark Renton (Ewan McGregor) returns to the only place he can ever call home.They are waiting for him: Spud (Ewen Bremner), Sick Boy (Jonny Lee Miller), and Begbie (Robert Carlyle). Other old friends are waiting too: sorrow, loss, joy, vengeance, hatred, friendship, love, longing, fear, regret, diamorphine, self-destruction and mortal danger, they are all lined up to welcome him, ready to join the dance.
The trailer is packed with all the drug use, crime, sex, and surreal scenes fans of the first film would expect. Also, for a group of people who have been doing heroin for at least two decades, the gang has aged remarkably well. Watch the full trailer below:
