Web Wednesday.


On this edition of Web Wednesday I am going to look at one of my more recent finds. He has been around for a while but I only began watching this year. The man of the hour is Paw Dugan. Paw specializes in music, but unlike the Rap Critic and Todd in the Shadows he doesn't stick to strict music reviews. Paw spreads his wings and ventures to other domains. Let's see why that's a good thing.

Tat Tuesday.


There are some toys, that you see as a kid, that you never get. For whatever reason they elude you. Maybe they are too expensive, or too rare. One of those ever elusive holy grails, for me at least, was Dino Riders. I remember going to a relative's house and seeing one of their kids playing with a Dino Rider. The sight of an armored dinosaur, with a miniature rider, that could walk gave me a toy boner. A toy boner, in case you don't know and you probably don't since I just made it up, is that feeling of utter jealousy and the realization that all of your happiness exists in a piece of plastic. I had that. I'm pretty sure I was drooling as well. But I never had a Dino Rider. In fact I don't think I ever even watched the show. Which is a shame. It must have been awesome. Even if it wasn't those toys were so awesome it didn't matter. Don't believe me? Take a look.

Awesome Fat Guy of the Week.


I had originally planed to feature Brian Dennehy as this weeks Awesome Fat Guy of the Week but I found him lacking. This turned out to be quite beneficial. As I had recently found a show from 1974 called "Thick as Thieves", I haven't finished it yet but I like what I've seen so far. The star of that show was none other than Bob Hoskins. I had always planned to to do a post on Mr. Hoskins and now seems like a perfect time. As such Bob is the Awesome Fat Guy of the Week. As for the picture above, what can I say? I saw that "I'm sexy" picture and just found it too great to not use. Look at it and question your sexuality.

Damn!! Thursday.


It's that time again. And do I have some shit for you today. Before I get started let's take a look at the picture above. That is a picture of Tony Piertrnatonio having his face redecorated by Lavarn Harvell. He looks like Sloth from the Goonies.

Tat Tuesday.

This book is why I never became a ventriloquist.
On this edition of Tat Tuesday I am not looking at a toy from my childhood. Instead I wanted to talk about one of the reasons I enjoy reading. Although I sadly don't do it as much as I should. As a kid I loved the Goosebumps series. They were books that were made for people my age. That age in between being a child an a teen. They call them "tweens"  now. Back then their wasn't a word for people that age. Maybe I was just getting caught up in the fad. I don't know but the stories were fun and the books were collectable. That added up to a much enjoyed series.

Media Monday.


Another Monday is upon us. Which means it's time to delve back into the 80's and watch some classic G.I.Joe. But before I talk about episodes 31-35, I wanted to mention the G.I.Joe Retaliation. The first Joe movie, which I never really watched, was badly received. From I did see I can understand why. Having said that the new movie looks like it will be amazing check out the Trailer here.

Awesome Fat Guy of the Week.


It's Friday and that means Awesome Fat Guy of the Week. This week I felt like doing something a little different. Instead of touting the accomplishments of a celebrity or historical figure I will instead demonstrate the Awesome of the everyday Awesome Fat Guy. These guys may have never had a number one song, comedy special, or won an award but these pictures and videos capture their Awesome none the less.

Damn!! Thursday.


When Thursday comes around, I find that I have dozens of links to stories that are Damn!! worthy. At least from afar. When I look closer and actually roll the story around in my head those dozens of stories shrink down to just a handful. What I am trying to say is that I don't just throw a few links together and call it a day. No I start with a a lot of links and then take a few and throw them together and call it a day. You see. It's totally different. In case you are wondering the cat in the above picture weighs in at 40 pounds. You can read about it here.

Web Wednesday.


Instead of focusing on one particular Web Entertainer this week I decided to do another random web video post. I like to think of these posts as Wasted Wednesdays. Sometimes you just want to waste some time. What better way than to do it on the Internet. That's what it's for anyway. Isn't it? That's a rhetorical question. It is. Take a look after the break to see just how right I am.

Tat Tuesday.


A few months ago I did a post on the old Battle Beasts toy line. At the close of the post I mentioned that Diamond Select had plans to release a new line of Battle Beasts. In fact they had a countdown clock ticking off the days until the return of the line. That clock ran down a few days ago. As such let's take a look at just what is on the horizon for the Battle Beasts. Let's call this Battle Beasts 2: Electric Boogaloo.

Awesome Fat Guy of the Week.


I recently stumbled upon a pair of British TV personalities called the Hairy Bikers. These two men have presented a number of food/travel shows. Over the last few weeks I have sought out their past works and have thoroughly enjoyed them. So I decided the best thing I could do, would be to grant the honor of being Awesome Fat guys to them. So, with out further ado, the Hairy Bikers are the Awesome Fat Guys of the Week.

Damn!! Thursday.


It's Thursday. You know what that means. Let's get to it. The above picture is a baby parrot. It's supposed to look like that. Doesn't make it any less ugly. Sadly it's been a slow week. Not much to look at but I'll do my best.

Web Wednesday.


If you watch a lot of Internet shows then you know that many Internet entertainers create very over the top personas for themselves. Normally these personas are amplified versions of the presenter. Sometimes these personalities are so over the top so deviant that you wonder if any of it is real. Today's subject has portrayed a persona just like that. He does it so well that you find yourself wondering how much of it is real. Let's take a look at Bennett the Sage.

Tat Tuesday.


As a kid the toys I gravitated to were simple action figures, mainly G.I.Joes, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and random comic book figures. As such I missed out on a lot of the more interactive/creative toys. Such as the Creepy Crawlers that you see above. I actually thought that the Creepy Crawlers were a 1980's creation but I was wrong. Let's take a look at the surprisingly long and deep history of the Creepy Crawlers.

Awesome Fat Guy of the Week.


I've been fat all my life. Which means that before I grew into being a Fat Guy I was Fat Boy. In fact my mother was once approached by a man who wanted to put me into a Fat Boys music video. She declined due to my shy nature. A missed opportunity. Thanks to that I've always remember the trio of rappers. So today I am focusing my post on the Fat Boys. The question is are they Awesome Fat Guys? Let's find out.

Damn!! Thursday.


The above picture may not stand out but you should click it. If you do you will read a funny and possibly infuriating detention note. Is it worthy of Damn!! Thursday? Probably not, but I found it funny. I can assure you that this week's Damn!! Thursday will deliver on the shock and awe. Don't believe me? Click through and find out.

Web Wednesday.


In this edition of Web Wednesday I'll be talking about one of my favorite Internet Entertainers Oancitizen. Most of the Web shows I watch center around either things that I enjoy such as comics, toys, Sci-Fi, and genre films,or subjects that I am far removed from. These include Pop Music, Video Games, and Art Films. That's right the intelligent cinema found mostly in college film classes and art house theaters is Oancitizen's subject of choice.
