Domino's® is Plowing for Pizza: Snowy Roads Shouldn't Get in the Way of Hot Pizza

Domino's Pizza Inc. (NYSE: DPZ), the largest pizza company in the world, believes nothing should stand in the way of carrying out a hot delicious pizza, including snowy, cold weather. That's why we're going above and beyond for pizza lovers, by awarding half a million dollars in grants for snow plowing, so that carryout customers can have access to hot pizza, even on the coldest, snowiest days. Nominations open up today for up to 20 cities to get $25,000 in snow plowing grants, all in the name of ensuring that hot pizzas are accessible for carryout customers this winter.  "At Domino's we've made delivery cars with warming ovens built in, paved roads to get your pizza home hot and in perfect condition, and offered pizza insurance for when anything goes awry," said Joe Jordan, Domino's president of U.S. and global services. "To us, nothing should stand in the way of getting a delicious pizza, including snowy, cold weather. So yes—you heard it right: a pizza company is actually helping to plow roads."

65 Years Later, Brenda Lee’s ‘Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree’ Soars to No. 1

This week's No. 1 song on the Billboard Hot 100 is one you've probably heard before — over and over again. For decades. "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree"— sung by Brenda Lee, and first released 65 years ago, during the Eisenhower administration — has gone to No. 1 on the singles chart, for the first time ever.

"Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" was written by Johnny Marks — who, as part of a long, great tradition of American Christmas songwriters, was himself actually Jewish. (Marks also wrote "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "A Holly Jolly Christmas.") Lee recorded the song when she was just 13 years old, not long after she signed a contract with Decca Records.

 

Taylor Swift At Lambeau Field To Cheer On Travis Kelce in Chiefs-Packers Game

Pop superstar Taylor Swift is in attendance for the 'Sunday Night Football' game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Green Bay Packers in support of Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

Swift was spotted entering Lambeau Field alongside Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Sunday (December 3) night in a video shared by ESPN's Jeff Darlington, who had previously reported that Lambeau Field security were anticipating her attendance.

Swift had previously attended four of Kelce's games between September and November -- all of which were won by the Chiefs -- since initially being spotted in a luxury box at Arrowhead Stadium in September. A source with knowledge of the situation told Us Weekly that Swift reportedly flew back to Kansas City to be with Kelce following the conclusion of her 'Eras Tour' concerts in Brazil last Monday (November 27) before attending the premiere of Beyoncé's 'Renaissance' film in London later in the week.

 

Authorities in Summit County took time during their Christmas with a Cop event Saturday morning to spread Christmas cheer and jolly laughter

SUMMIT COUNTY, Ohio (Mix614 Columbus News) - Yes, he still very much is a mean one. The Grinch, that is.

Authorities in Summit County took time during their Christmas with a Cop event Saturday morning to spread Christmas cheer and jolly laughter.

Their attempt at a humor included deputies arresting the protagonist from the 1966 holiday classic.

A Facebook Post from the Summit County Sheriff’s Office said the department was ‘alarmed’ by the Mount Crumpit resident’s actions

We’re very alarmed to announce that a theft occurred at this morning’s Christmas With a Cop. Fortunately, an arrest was made immediately. He was a mean one…

The Grinch’s trusty canine companion, Max, did not have any role to play in the crime, but a couple of Summit County K-9 officers had roles to play in the arrest. A court date for the bad banana with a greasy black peel has not been set.
