Japan Pig Rodeo

I don't think the pigs are willing participants in the festivities. You can tell because you don't see them wearing enormous belt buckles, knocking back whiskey shooters after the gig.

Mariachi Band Cover Songs

I can't think of anything better than sitting back with a cold Carta Blanca, listening to Mariachi band cover songs.

Auto-Tune the News: Waking Up Dead

Being an oldster, I don't typically understand the whole Auto-Tune the News meme, because it's in my cranky old man contract, but this one is pretty good.

United Breaks Guitars - The Video

Singer Dave Carroll said that United Airlines broke his expensive guitar, and then refused to do anything about it, essentially telling him to sit on it and rotate. So he and his band wrote a couple of songs about it, uploaded them to YouTube, and sat back while they were viewed hundreds of thousands of times.

Nice work, United. The customer always comes last.

Cardboard Tube Fighting

A few months ago, I passed along a nice tidbit about organized pillow fights, where groups of people armed with down and polyfill sacks would meet at agreed locations and at set times, where they would proceed to beat the stuffing out of each other - so to speak.

In keeping with the concept of adults regressing into their favorite childhood games, we now have Cardboard Tube Fighting. Leagues have popped up that gather in Seattle, and new leagues are being seeded in NYC and Philadelphia.

I have an idea - get rid of the assigned seating in the White House press room, taking away ALL advantage, and select questions at random using a bingo ball cage.
