Web Wednesday.

Today I continue on my quest to diversify Web Wednesday. As I have said before most of the people I spotlight during these posts are white men. Which is fine. There is nothing wrong with that. I just wanted to make it known that there are people who are not white guys that are on the Internet and are entertaining. Which brings me to the Rap Critic. Who, as you may have guessed, is not white. He also happens to be funny and talented which makes him perfect for Web Wednesday. So let's get to it.

Media Monday.

I did something that I promised myself I would never do. I missed an “Awesome Fat Guy of the Week” post.  I shouldn’t have. I didn’t really have a reason. I just couldn’t get myself to work on it. Sometimes being lazy can bite. Anyway today is Monday and that means it’s time for G.I.Joe. This week I am looking at the third mini-series that also happens to be the first five episodes of the ongoing series. So this is this is our first taste of the series itself. It tastes the same as the previous mini-serious but more “ongoingy”.  Let’s just move on.

Damn!! Thursday.

I missed doing Web Wednesday yesterday. I am sorry about that. I was a little under the weather. I'll try to make sure not to do that very often. Anyway it's Thursday. Which, of course, means it's time to spotlight things that make you say "DAMN!!".

Tat Tuesday.

In the last edition of Tat Tuesday, while talking about the Yak Bak toys, I mentioned Power Penz. It was my intention to do a full post on the pens themselves but I hit a bit of a snag. There isn't that much information available on them. I can't find much about the history of the toy series but I did find a lot of pictures. So I figured I would just take a look at some of them and give my impressions on them. I did find an old blog that was dedicated to Power Penz. To be honest I did appropriate a few of the pictures from that blog. Anyway on to the good stuff.

Media Monday.

This week we are looking at "G.I.Joe The Revenge of Cobra" the second G.I.Joe miniseries. It debuted in 1984 and like the first mini-series was written by Ron Friedman. It saw the return of all of the previous characters and a number of new ones.

Awesome Fat Guy of the Week.

Today, I hit a milestone for this blog. I reached 5,000 page views. That is something I am really proud of. A lot of those views have come from my Awesome Fat Guy of the week posts. I love doing these posts. Not only do I get to show some love for a Fat Guy but I also learn even more about them during the research. Having said that let’s get to today subject John Rhys-Davies.

Damn!! Thursday.

It's that time again. Time to trawl the depths of the Internet to find something, anything that would make you say "Damn!!". This week we have a nice mix of bad and worse. Before we get into that let's take a quick look at the above picture. Someone found a purple squirrel. I don't have anything to say about that. I just found it kind of funny.

Web Wednesday.

My quest to diversify Web Wednesday has hit a detour. Instead of spotlighting a Web Personality who isn’t a white guy, I am going to talk about Telly Award winner Ed Glaser, who is a white guy. I can’t help it. Ed has a new series on the horizon. The series called “Ninja the Mission Force” co-stars Brad Jones and looks to be all kinds of fun. What can I say Ed Glaser and Brad Jones in ninja outfits takes precedence over diversity.

Tat Tuesday.

Not too long ago I talked about the best Christmas I ever had. It was the year I got a Game Gear. A few years later I made a small mistake. I got caught up in the Virtual Boy hype. My parents, doing what all good parents do, broke their collective asses to get me the over priced piece of crap. As you can guess, by my calling it a piece of crap, the Virtual Boy did not live up to the hype. Luckily I asked for something else as well. This second item was much cheaper and really just an after thought. It was a Yak Bak. I loved it. It single handedly saved that years Christmas.

Media Monday.

While reviewing the "Lone Wolf and Cub" series I was thinking about other possible subjects. My first thought was the Zatoichi series. While I do love the Zatoichi movies I wanted to try something different. I finally settled on G.I. Joe. I plan on reviewing every episode of every animated G.I. Joe series. This will probably take me a year or more. Chances are I'll sprinkle in a few other reviews here and there. So with out further ado let's get to "G.I. Joe A Real American Hero" the pilot mini-series that aired in 1983.

Awesome Fat Guy of the Week.

Every week I have to ask myself a question. What makes a man an Awesome Fat Guy? Firstly he must be fat. That is the easy part. The hard part is on deciding what makes someone Awesome. Normally I look at how talented or successful the man is. Other times it comes down to just how likable or interesting he is. This week’s Awesome Fat Guy falls into the later category. While he was successful and talented, in his own right, I chose him because he is beloved and remembered in spite of his limitations. That to me makes Tor Johnson the Awesome Fat Guy of the week.

Damn!! Thursday.

It's that time again. Time to find something that will make you say DAMN!! Or at the very least is interesting, disturbing, or funny. Speaking of funny the above picture is real. The book "Space Cat on Mushrooms" is part of the Space Cat series written by Ruthven Todd. Nothing like a little weirdness to start this post off. Now, let's get to the meat.

Web Wednesday.

On this edition of Web Wednesday I am doing something a little different. Instead of spotlighting any single person or Website I thought I'd share a few random bits of fun. Like the picture above. Where else can you find a Kitten Gangster but the Internet. Check after the jump for more Internet goodness.

Tat Tuesday.

I have a confession. I have always loved vans. That may not sound bad but you have to remember that vans have become synonymous with a certain type of person. You have your Serial Killers, Rapist, Child Molesters, and Guys who live in Vans down by the River. Which means that Vans get a bad rap. Even with that I still love them. Especially when they have awesome murals on the side. Which is what this post is about. Check after the jump for some really cool pics.

Media Monday.

 
It’s that time again. Time for Media Monday and the final installment in the “Lone Wolf and Cub” series. “Lone Wolf and Cub: White Heaven in Hell.” I really can’t wait to finish this series of posts. I really enjoy these movies and telling all of you about them. So check after the jump for all the info.

Awesome Fat Guy of the Week.

I once read that a plan is just a list of things that don’t happen. My plan was to begin work on this post yesterday. That way I could have it up early. That didn’t happen due to an Internet outage. Luckily that problem was fixed. Which  means that while this post may be up later than I waned it will be posted none the less. So let’s get to this weeks Awesome Fat Guy of the Week, Ron White.

Web Wednesday.

As you may have noticed Media Monday ended up getting posted on Tuesday. Mind you it was only a few minutes after midnight but it was Tuesday. My timing was off. If that isn't enough I completely missed Tat Tuesday. I don't have an excuse for this. My daily post are usually done the day of posting. I really need to change that. In fact I am going to do just that. There will be no Damn!! Thursday this week because I plan on working on this weeks Awesome Fat Guy of the Week tomorrow. This way I can get on a proper schedule. Now that my excuses and proclamations are out of the way let's get to Web Wednesday and my continuing attempt to diversify these post. Today we are going to speak about a Canadian man of Asian descent. So not a white guy which is good. Anyway let's take a look at Internet Personality Vang1us.
