Scott and SadieSnarkless – 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. The world’s oldest penguin turned 37 last week and got a special cake made of fish. Her name is Spneb. (Spin-ebb) She’s lived at a zoo in England since 1988. Her species usually lives 10 to 15 years in the wild. Here’s a photo.
2. Speaking of birthdays: A guy near Niagara Falls named Burdett Sisler just turned 110 years old, and 250 people showed up for his party. He was born in Ohio, but moved to Canada when he was three. When he turned 105, his goal was to make it to 110. Now he’s shooting for 115.
His advice to anyone younger than him . . . so, everyone . . . is to remember the Golden Rule: Treat people the way you’d like to be treated.
On his birthday last year, he told a reporter he never smoked and was never a big drinker. Quote, “I can only remember being drunk once, and that was enough.”
3. An 83-year-old woman in Colorado named Bobbi Oxford finally got to fulfill her lifelong dream of driving a race car. Her brother raced, and she always wanted to. But no one would let her back then, because she was a girl.
AARP’s “Wish of a Lifetime” charity made it happen for her at Pikes Peak International Raceway last month. They didn’t let her go as fast as NASCAR drivers, but she got up to around 90.
She said other than having kids, it was the best moment of her life. Here’s a video.
