Snarkless: Cold Deer, Long Basketball Games, and Giant Candy Bars

Snarkless – Because even we need a break from the madness. Once a day, we swallow our sarcasm (it burns, honestly) and deliver three legitimately good news stories—no cynicism, no side-eye, just pure, unfiltered positivity. It’s weird for us too, but hey, even the apocalypse deserves a little sunshine.

 Here are a few more Snarkless stories making the rounds . . .

1.  A group of guys in Georgia broke a world record on Friday with a basketball game that lasted five straight days . . .121 hours and 3 minutes to be exact.  Yes, they were allowed to sub in and out, so they got breaks.

They did it to raise money for a charity called MOST, or “Men Opposing Sex Trafficking.”  They say the stunt raised over $300,000.

2.  A deer and her two fawns fell through the ice on a lake in Wisconsin last weekend.  But cops were able to save them with the help of a drone.

The deer were 200 yards from shore and couldn’t find their way back.  So they used the drone to herd them in the right direction.  All three made it out and ran off together.  (Here’s a video of one of them making it to shore.)

3.  A British guy who loved making people laugh got to do it one more time after passing away at just 55.  He told his family he wanted to be buried in a casket that looked like a Snickers bar, so they made it happen.  In the Snickers font, it said, “I’m Nuts.”  Here’s a photo.
