Crashes, Black Sweden, and Polls

There will be no Tuesday Top Ten today because my dog is currently snoring on the couch next to me, so I can't bounce ideas off of her.

Well, my Stones poll revealed little to nothing. Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main St. tied for the title of Best Rolling Stones Album of All-Time, each taking home 36% of the vote. Let It Bleed broke a tie late to edge out Beggars Banquet for 3rd and 4th, respectively, with 18% and 9% of the vote. At least no one was foolish enough to vote for "Other," not that Steel Wheels isn't a masterpiece.

And now for a couple links to some sweet videos, courtesy of the SoCal Connection, as they are now called, even though they don't know each other.

The first is courtesy of Greg Weeser*, who sends this link of a Dallas highway camera that catches a magnificent semi truck crash. I can't explain it better than he did in his email to me, so here you go:

You know the phrase "better to be lucky than good"? This video shows
both...

It's worth freeze-framing the first angle repeatedly right before the accident.... the semi seemingly blazes right alongside the Black SUV at the last moment... the poor driver didn't even have time to react...if he was changing radio stations, he'd have missed the whole event.

The white SUV driver, on the other hand, shows some serious nuts in the way he swerves away from the wreckage avalanche... Porsche should buy the footage for their marketing dept.

As far as whether it's better to be lucky or good.... you'll notice that the Black SUV comes to an immediate stop after surviving the near miss ....most likely in order to remove his soiled Hanes and toss them out the window. Conversely, the White SUV continues on his merry way, probably already on the phone to his wife telling her to put her best blowjob lipstick on....


True.

The next video (or should I say videos?) come courtesy of Tail Pipe, who emailed me today with the subject "is that something you might be interested in?" The "something" is Black Sweden, a Black Sabbath cover band that plays ABBA songs. The answer, TP, is "yes."
