Spending a day in an Absolut world is not as liquor filled as you might think...

So, first off, I'd just like to thanks the folks at Absolut and Co. for letting me in on their interactive creative forum on Friday.

As I quickly found out with Absolut, there's a lot to do...

Johnny Wright - Shush.
You might hurt yourself.

Talk about love,
Talk about trust
Talkin' 'bout forever baby
When I'm talkin' 'bout us

Shut up Baierman...



The wind howls like a hammer,
The night blows cold and rainy,
My love she's like some raven
At my window with a broken wing.

Are you there God? It's me, Echo. I know we haven't been on the best terms lately, what with me voting for Obama and the ritualistic sacrificing on virgins to the Sumerian God Ningizzida. But in all fairness, you never came through when I prayed for the ability to shoot poison darts from my index fingers. So I think we're square.

However, you came through in spades by sending the gift of this video to me. And for that, I'm truly grateful.

Some of the music worlds best, combined with some of the worst.

Some of the music worlds coolest, paired with some of the most uncool.

The results are mixed. But mostly strange and funny.

Here's a few music pairings over the last few decades that have had, well, mixed results.

Pro athletes don't just battle other teams. They also battle their weight.
Tennessee Titan running back Lendale White is no exception.

Lendale, a running back, weighed roughly 265 pounds last season. That extra weight was slowing him down and hurting his play.

So he went on a diet.
Well, not a diet actually, he just stopped drinking tequila.

Cold turkey. Or agave.

As a result he lost about 30 pounds in six months. Lendale reported to training camp a trimmer 228.

Lendale blames Patron for his extra bulk.
When asked he said, '"It wasn't a lot of major diet changes. It was watching what I drink. I was a big Patron consumer. ... That's what it was it."

So let that be a lessen to all you budding alcoholic athletes out there. Cut out the booze and your weight will come off.

No AA meetings. No interventions. No horrible hangovers.
Just no more of the worm.

Item! In Turkey, a factory built in 1928 was gonna be knocked down to clear the path for a new shopping mall. Sounds reasonable. The good people of Turkey need a Baby Gap and Hot Dog on a Stick just like the rest of us.

However, it seems the demolition crew was hired because of a low bid. Not exactly a crack unit. Perhaps they took one too many coffee breaks. What is supposed to happen is the charges go off in perfectly timed sequence the the building falls in on itself. Like the Kingdome. In this attempt, some of the charges went off, apparently some didn't, and wouldn't you know it, that sumbitch rolled over like a lazy dog in the noonday sun.



It looks like a scene from a Roland Emmerich film.
