Awesome Fat Guy of the Week.

Not one damn fish. Oh well. I enjoyed the break but now it's time to get back to doing what I love. Talking about fat guys. Awesome Fat Guys. The Awesome Fat Guy of the Week to be exact. This week we are looking at another romantic fat guy. Luther Vandross.

Gone Fishing.

So, I thought I would take a few days off from the blog. To recharge my batteries and come back better than before. To the people who have actually visited before don't worry. This is not goodbye. This is just "See You Later".

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. I hope all of you get to have a great day with your family and friends. Check after the break for some cool videos.

SciFi Saturday.

After last week's post I started to think about other cartoons that I could talk about. One of theme even featured power armor. It was one of my favorites as a child and still holds a place in my heart. So let's take a look at "Centurions: Power X Treme".

Awesome Fat Guy of the Week.

I love Christmas. I adore it. I am not a practicing Catholic. I was baptized and had first communion but as soon as I was old enough to make the choice I quit the church. Even though I went to a Catholic grade school and high school I was never very religious. As far as I was concerned organized religion was for a certain type of person and I was not that person. As such I always saw Christmas as a family holiday. I know that it has it's roots in pagan Rome and pagan Winter Solstice celebrations and as such I have no problem celebrating it. My favorite aspect of Christmas is Santa Clause. How could it not be? He is the most beloved Fat Guy ever. So seeing as today is Friday, the last Friday before Christmas at that, there was only one man for me to talk about today. That brought up a problem. Where do I start? What do I talk about? Where do I end? Well I came up with an answer. Check after the jump for this week's Awesome Fat Guy of the Week.

Damn!! Thursday.

Thursday posts are the hardest for me. I rack my brain trying to find or think of something that would elicits a Damn!! This week was especially bad, until I remembered the Honey Badger. I know that sounds like an odd subject but it isn't. Trust me.

Web Wednesday.

On this installment of Web Wednesday we are moving away from puppets to animation. Today I am going to talk about the funniest collection of Otaku on the planet Team Four Star.

Tat Tuesday.

After talking about toys for the past couple of weeks I thought it would be fun to look at a different type of tat. Something bigger and much more extravagant. So from toy trucks covered in lights we go to real trucks covered in lights. Let's delve into one of the more interesting worlds of Japanese subculture. The Dekotora.

Media Monday.

Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart at the River Styx.

Last week we talked about "Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengeance" the first movie in the "Lone Wolf and Cub" series. So let's look at he sequel "Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart at the River Styx".

Something Sunday.

A "Traditional Family". I suddenly have a craving for white bread.

I had planned to post short stories on Sundays. However I haven't gotten around to writing any new material. As such there have been no Sunday posts. Until now. This is the first "Something Sunday." I'll try to post something of interest on Sundays from now on. This first post about my experience with the "Traditional Family".

As you may know New York has recently passed a law allowing same sex marriage. Something I am all for. Some do not agree with me. Many have said that this would be the end of the "Traditional Family". When I was growing up in Spanish Harlem there was only one "Traditional Family". The Melendez family.I am going to take this opportunity to talk about them. If you are interested check after the jump for what I have to say. I'll even sweeten the pot a little. There is a video of a nontraditional family as well.

Sometimes when you are a child you come across something that you instantly like. You enjoy it for what it is and when it ends you let it go. Then as time goes on you find yourself liking it more and more. Until you finally look back on it and actually love it. That's how I feel about Exosquad. Let's take a look at it.

Awesome Fat Guy of the Week.

Barry White working hard to get you laid.

After spending so much time on Awesome Fat Comedians I thought it would be a nice change to move back to the world of music. Since I spoke about Funny Fat Guys, Powerful Fat Guys, and Athletic Fat Guys, I thought it would be a good idea to talk about the Romantic Fat Guy. There were a few choices for this but one man stood head and shoulders above the rest. Barry White. The man responsible for more nights of passion than any cheap wine. Mr. "Can't Get Enough of Your Love, Babe." himself.

Damn!! Thursday.

It's that time again. Time to see things that make you say Damn!!

Web Wednesday.

On this week's "Web Wednesday" we are going to take a look at yet another puppet themed web-series. Let's check out Transylvania TV.

Tat Tuesday.

Last Tuesday, I mentioned that there was one last toy car that was important to me as a child. Let's take a look at it. It's Christmas and the Hess truck is here. As a kid I only ever had one Hess truck. My family were not car owners. Living in New York and having little money we usually used mass transit. Even with that I somehow had a Hess Truck. I loved it. It was unique among my toys. While I had Micro Machines and the Animal, this was one of only two large scale realistic car toys I had. The other was an old die cast fire truck. I don't know where it came from or where it went. By the time I received the Hess Truck the old fire truck was gone. I did not mourn it for long. I though it would be cool to look through all of the Hess Trucks and give my opinion of them. So check it out after the jump.

Media Monday.

Today, I want to talk about one of my favorite series of samurai movies "Lone Wolf and Cub". The movie is based on a Manga written by Kazuo Koike and drawn by Goseki Kojima that was first published in 1970. It ran for 6 years and cover 28 volumes. I have yet to read the manga. My only exposure to the story and its characters come from 6 movies from the mid 70's.

Awesome Fat Guy of the Week.

We have reached the end of another week. As such we deserve a reward, and what reward would be better than an Awesome Fat Guy. This week we look at the hilarious Will Sasso. I do need to preface the following post. Will Sasso used to be much fatter. He lost a lot of weight a number of years ago. Even with that he is not a thin person. I still consider him a Fat Guy even though he is more aptly described as a big guy.

Damn!! Thursday.

It's time for another Damn!! Thursday. Before we get to the videos I just wanted to talk about the above picture. That is, what I assume to be, the mug shot of Anthony Miranda. It was taken after Mr. Miranda, a 24 year-old convicted felon, attempted to mug and car jack a 6 foot 2, 250 pound MMA expert. I wouldn't say that either the story or picture are truly Damn!! material, but I need something to start this post. Also I love the look in his eyes. That is a look that says I need a new line of work. Anyway on to the main course.

Web Wednesday.

I thought we would continue with puppets for the next couple of weeks. So, this week we are looking at the work done by Michael Bennett.

Tat Tuesday.

After Micro Machines and Penny Racers I thought I was through with car toys. I was wrong. When you delve back into your childhood many things pop up. Things you had long since forgotten. This is one such thing.This is The Animal.

Media Monday.

On this Media Monday we will be looking at Sonny Chiba. "Who is Sonny Chiba?" you ask. Well check after the jump to find out.

SciFi Saturday

Last week I spoke about one of my favorite Sci-Fi novels. I love Starship Troopers, I do, but it is not my favorite Sci-Fi novel of all time. In fact it isn't even my favorite power armor novel. No, that honor goes to Armor by John Steakley.

Awesome Fat Guy of the Week.

This week we are sticking with the world of comedy for out Awesome Fat Guy of the Week. I wasn't going to highlight another comedian so quickly but fate intervened. Sadly this week saw the death of a very funny man. Today I pay my respects to Patrice O'Neal.
