mmmmm.... Deep Fried Beer

The Annual Big Tex Choice Awards competition at the Texas state fair taking place later this month has inspired a slew of heart-stopping recipes, including Deep Fried Beer. The Digital Journal describes the concoction as beer-filled pretzel dough that is cooked in grease, just long enough to fry the dough but not long enough to remove the alcohol from the beer (about 20 seconds).

The creator of this heart-stopper, Mark Zable, said he's spent three years trying to perfect the recipe. He seems to be pleased with his efforts. According to the Telegraph, he says “it tastes like you took a bite of hot pretzel dough and then took a drink of beer."

Deep fried beer is one of the finalists for the prize, along with fried caviar, fried potato pie, deep fried frozen margarita, fried lemonade and fried chocolate.

The Who! BOOOOOM!!!!!!

TODAY IN ROCK HISTORY -1967 - In a performance taped two days earlier, The Who appears on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, doing "I Can See for Miles" and "My Generation." Keith Moon overdoes the explosive charge in his bass drum, which goes off at the end of "My Generation" and injures him and damages Pete Townshend's hearing.

High Five!! Coen's Mercury Rising.

Sacha Baron Cohen has proven he can transform into the craziest of characters. But can he take on a rock legend? Deadline.com reports that the man behind Borat and Bruno has been cast to play Freddie Mercury in a film set to start production next year. The film has already secured the rights to many of Queen's songs, including "Bohemian Rhapsody," "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions." The film will span from the band's formation up until their performance at Live Aid, but will not cover Mercury's last days struggling with AIDS. Baron Cohen can sing — he proved that in Sweeney Todd — but it's unclear whether he will belt the anthems himself or just lip-sync. And he's yet to really prove himself in more serious roles. Either way, he bears a striking resemblance to Mercury, and we all know he can rock some serious spandex.

All Hail Gunther Love !!

The Grand Final witnessed snapping strings and fainting groupies as the contestants, one fierier than the other, fought for the ultimate command of the air. Last year's World Champion Sylvain “Gunther Love” Quimene (FR) gave once again a stunning performance and took the highest crown back to France. His fellow countrywoman Soraya “Eva Gina Runner” Garlenq scored second with her sparkling and tight one-minute show. The third place was taken over by retiring Canadian champion Cole “Johnny Utah” Manson. As the Air Guitar tradition has it, after the winner was chosen, all the contestants took the stage once more and encouraged the whole world to play Air Guitar to Neil Young's "Rockin' in the Free World" while the fireworks lighted the sky to celebrate the 15th anniversary. The night's host, Air Guitar Guru Dan ”Björn Türoque” enchanted the Oulu Marketplace with his charisma and tuned the festival audience into an airy frequency. The chilly Final night gathered a massive audience of approximately 7000-8000 people.

Hu Hu Hu Hu.....and Stuff.

Get out your AC/DC shirts and get ready to rock because MTV has confirmed that it is in fact bringing back the much beloved show Beavis and Butt-Head. So, like, get out your nachos and stuff.

When you have success in the animation world and your show somehow still gets canceled, I guess just wait a few years and try again because it seems like a lot of animated shows are getting revived these days after going off the air for several years — thirteen in the case of Beavis and Butt-Head . Doesn’t sound like they’re going to stray real far from the original premise, either.

The new series would keep Beavis and Butt-Head in their perpetual high-school state, but it would be updated so that the pals — who obsessively watch music videos on a battered TV set — could lob their snarky comments at more current targets like Lady Gaga. The return of “Beavis and Butt-Head” will be a backdoor means for MTV to return to showing music videos — something the network was founded upon but abandoned in the last decade to make room for popular reality shows like “Laguna Beach,” “The Hills” and “Jersey Shore.”

Lady Gaga, Kanye West, the plethora of crappy emo bands circling the drain of music — the list of egos and videos to choose from these days are endless, as writer and creator Mike Judge will surely to take aim things like Twitter accounts and YouTube videos as Beavis and Butt-Head navigate through a world that is far more tech savvy than it was when the show originally went off the air in 1997.

Twice As Big... Four Times As Long

According to a new study, men with excess body fat last four times longer in bed than guys who are fit.

Turkish researchers found that a man with a normal body mass index (BMI) can only have sex for an average of 1.8 minutes before blowing his top -- whereas a man with a BMI that indicates he is overweight or obese can keep it going for an average of 7.2 minutes.

Scientists believe the female sex hormone oestradiol is behind it all. Fat guys have it. Skinny guys don't. Unfortunately for fat guys (or fortunately?), oestradiol messes with a guy's overall chemical balance, making him take longer to perform his most manly of functions.

Anna's Wish

I am one of the harshest critics of ESPN (the four letter network some may call it) But Good is Good, especially when it comes from your backyard. The SportsCenter "My Wish" series chronicles children who are ill and are given one sports-related wish to make them feel better. This past Sunday we met Anna Schmidt, a 13 year old from Horicon, WI who was suffering from an enlarged heart - she got a new heart and her wish fulfilled by some of her favorite Green Bay Packers. Great Story and Bravo! to Chris Connley.
