Tat Tuesday.



In case I haven't said it before I am a bit of a knife collector. I don't collect really expensive or rare knives. In fact most of what I have runs in at less than $20 a piece. I just go for the aesthetics. The problem I have, other than the stigma of having been prone to psychological issues in the past and liking knives, is that I live in New York City and many types of knives are illegal to carry and some to even own. The first part of that isn't a problem, I don't carry a knife, I do carry a small multi-tool,  the second is. A lot of the knives I like fall into illegal territory. One such breed of knife is the Balisong or butterfly knife. As with most things there are ways to get around this. That brings me to today's Tat Tuesday item the Bottlefly. Let's take a closer look at this novelty.

FamiKamen Rider






A few months ago I did a post on Justin "JewWario" Carmical. If you want to refresh you member click here. One thing I didn't mention at the time was that Justin had created his own Kamen Rider in FamiKamen Rider. If you are unaware of what a Kamen Rider is you can read this post and learn a little about Japanese Tokusatsu. Last night I visited Justin's site and learned that he had plans for an eleven part series about the FamiKamen Rider. You can read about it here. I am telling you this because Justin needs our help. He has started a IndieGoGo drive to help fund the series. If you have any extra cash and want to help a man make his dream come true than please donate. If you can't, than do what I'm doing and spread the word.

Thank You.

Damn!! Thursday.


On this edition of Damn!! Thursday I am once again doing something a little different. I want to take a look at a few stories about Bullying in schools that I have come across. What makes these stories different is that they all come from Japan. I know that bullying is nothing new and is an issue the world over but these particular stories caught my attention. It isn't that they are extreme examples of just how bad bullying can get, even though they are, it is more about the response of the Adults to these situations. I would also like to recount my own very minor experience with the subject.

Web Wednesday.


On this edition of Web Wednesday I am going to tackle one of the big wigs. He is arguably one of the most popular web entertainers at the moment and is consistently laugh out loud hilarious. Recently he has also become quite controversial as well. I am talking about Mashable award winner Noah "The Spoony One" Antwiler.

Awesome Fat Guy of the Week.



It's been a while since the last Awesome Fat Guy of the Week. I wasn't sure who I should feature after being gone for so long. Eventually my decision was made for me. The man I chose had been a mainstay of the TV Sitcom landscape in the late 90s and early 2000s. He then began to appear on the big screen along with  many A list stars. Before all of that he was a successful stand-up comedian. His latest movie is what made me decide to feature him here. As for what that movie is, we'll get to it. For the moment let's just say that Kevin James is the Awesome Fat Guy of the Week.

Web Wednesday.

A week ago I posted the first half of my Wreckless Eating review/guide. Last week I took a look at some of the members of the Wreckless Eating channel. Today, I'll be looking at the shows, of which there are dozens. These shows run the gamut in length, concept, and subject matter. I haven't watched every episode and in fact have not tried every show, as such I will be sticking to the ones I have seen and can talk about with a modicum of knowledge.

Tat Tuesday.


Sometimes, when I look back at the toys of my childhood, I am amazed by how out of left field some of them were. I don't know if the 90's had a larger contingent of these crazy toy-lines then previous and following decades, or if they just stick out in my head more. Take Barnyard Commandos for instance, it is a line of toys built around pigs and sheep fighting each-other. It sounds stupid. In fact it was stupid, and yet it was so odd I couldn't help but love it. So on this edition of Tat Tuesday I'm going to take a look back on that stupid toy-line and tell you why I loved it so much.

Damn!! Thursday.


On this edition of Damn!! Thursday I'm doing something a little different. Instead of focusing on things that are so horrible I can only utter the word "Damn!!", I will instead feature awesome things. Things that are so awesome they will leave you saying "Damn!!". So in short these are good "Damn!!"s not bad "Damn!!"s. Right, let's just get to the post.

Web Wednesday.


It's time for Web Wednesday and today's subject is so prolific that I have no choice but to split this into two posts. What, you may ask, can deem such a feat? No other than Wreckless Eating. In case you are unaware of exactly what Wreckless Eating is, allow me to fill you in. Wreckless Eating is a YouTube channel featuring a group of friends who consume a number of odd or disgusting foods. For this first post we will be looking at the members of the cast. So without further ado let's get to part 1.
