On a basic physical level they really only need food, shelter love and an ability to chew and poo what ever and where ever they like. We have a Boarder Collie called Charlie and she can be an EPIC pain in the arse, we love her all the same, but unfortunately for her we have a large family and can’t afford to be building her anything extravagant. Charlie is quite happy when she is allowed to jump on the couch with us on a cold night, but these people clearly have a lot of money and time to throw around and the results are pretty cool.
In the middle of the Nevada desert, along highway 95 there is a small town called Tonopah and its home to 90% of the populations worst nightmare, a haunted clown motel.
The Clown Motel is pretty much stuck between uninterrupted desert between Tonopah and the next town, Mina. It looks so bright and pretty, but what lies beneath is nothing short of terrifying and it does not help that there is a creepy as all shite graveyard next door, how splendid.
Spending the night in Tonopah’s Clown Motel could qualify as a true test of courage. Not because of any accommodation shortcomings, but because it’s full of clowns. There are clowns on the doors, shelves of clown dolls and collectibles in the lobby, clown paintings on the walls. And if you have a second floor room, you can look out from the balcony and see why the motel is so quiet and dark at night. It’s the cemetery. The Clown Motel stands right next to Tonopah’s dusty, unlit cemetery, closed for a hundred years, packed with the graves of miners in this former Boom Town who died unpleasantly.
One of the clowns, an eight-foot-tall pear-shaped chap, points to a sign advertising the nightly rates ($34 for a single person, $36 for two, $37.50 for 3-4 people) and anyone with half a brain would realize this is a warning, not an invitation.
But one reader from Reddit built up the courage and this is his account from that night and it will send a shiver down your spine.
At one point early in the evening we were hearing strange sounds and what appeared to be someone screaming followed by lot popping and crunching noises. While in the bathroom my buddy decided to have a peak outside of the bathroom window. My buddy lets out a yell and busts out into the room and I’m like “what?!” He doesn’t say anything but goes right to his back and gets his Smith and Wesson 357 out. I’m thinking “what the $%#” and I dig into my bag to get my Sig 232 out. He says we need to get the %@#& out of there right now. I saw he was serious and that made me serious about it, we grabbed our $#!^ for the most part (left a few clothes behind) and looked out the peep sight to make sure it was clear to our car. I threw my gun into my pocket, he put his in his waistband and we hauled ass to the car and got the hell out of there. On the ride away, I asked what he saw in the bathroom. He told me when he looked out the window there was this creepy-ass clown facing away from the window, pants at his ankles, making a weird motion. He told me the clown slowly turned 90 degrees to look at him, my friend said he looked down to see this clown $#@%ing a full-sized dinner ham, when he looked up from the ham $^@!ing the clown was smiling and waving at him.
Would you have the balls to stay in this motel? If you would like too, you can check it out here! but if you don’t make it back, don’t blame me! lol
We’ve all been there. What did I do with my keys? Where did I put my glasses? I KNOW I had a 20 dollar bill in my pocket. I just HAD my debit/credit card. Here are a few tips to help find misplaced items, the most common of which are: cellphone, keys, sunglasses, purse, umbrella, bank card, tablet, documents and wallet.
Sit down before you get too frustrated and think about the things you did up to the time you went to find your misplaced item. Wait until you think you might know where it is.
Meditation
Believe it or not, look where it’s supposed to be, or where you normally put it. You’d be surprised how often I find things right where they should be but I was in a hurry and overlooked it.
Key Keeper
Check your pockets, pocketbook, wallet- Don’t just dig through these items, empty the entire contents out on a flat surface and go through each systematically.
Empty Your Pockets
Did you lend the item to someone? Did your wife/husband/friend/child use it last?
Loan Your Car
Look in the most unlikely place you can think of; where it definitely should not be.
Inside A Freezer
Think who else was around at the time you last remember having the item. Someone else could have picked up the item and put it away for safekeeping.
Housecleaning
Retrace your steps. Go to the last place you were and ask questions.
Retrace Your Steps
Make phone calls. You might save yourself some headaches and time doing this if you’re lucky.
Make A Phone Call
Of course this doesn’t help you if you need the lost item now but remember that most things turn up eventually. What are the main things you misplace? With me it’s my glasses and that usually leads to me having to find another pair of glasses to find the glasses I lost….
Place one oven rack in the middle position, with one rack below. Preheat oven to 350.
In a food processor add the graham crackers, brown sugar and the pretzels and process until it’s the consistency of crumbs. Turn the food processor on, remove the stopper from the lid and slowly add the butter and process until it resembles wet sand.
Coat the inside of a 9 inch spring form pan with butter. Pour the crust into the spring form pan. Using the bottom of a heavy, flat bottom glass, press the crust very well into the bottom of the pan until well compacted.
In a pot over medium high heat, add the beer and the chocolate, stir until melted and remove from heat. Allow to cool.
In the bowl of a stand mixer add the cream cheese and the sugar and mix until smooth. One at a time, add the eggs, scraping the bottom of the bowl between additions. Pour the cooled chocolate into the mixer and beat until well combined. Lift the head of the mixer and sprinkle the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder and salt over the batter, stir on low speed until just combined.
Pour the batter into the pan over the crust.
Place the pan in the oven in the middle position. Place a baking dish on the rack below the cheesecake, fill with water.
If you have experience with a water bath, feel free to use that technique. In my experience, the water leaks into the pan, making the crust soggy. Placing a basin of water below the cheesecake has a similar effect without the soggy crust.
Bake the cheesecake until the center no longer jiggles when you shake the rack, about 45-50 minutes. This isn’t a situation where a tooth pick inserted in the middle should come out clean, you just need the center to set and it will continue to set as it cools. Remove from oven.
For the sour cream topping: add the ingredients to a bowl and whisk until well combined. Top the cheesecake with the sour cream topping and return to the oven for 8 minutes. Remove cheesecake and chill in the pan until ready to serve, at least 3 hours.
