Media Monday.

On this edition of Media Monday we finally look at the fourth installment in the "Lone Wolf and Cub" series. "Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart in Peril". Since it has taken me so long to get this up let's get right to it.

Awesome Fat Guy of the Week.

Recently the Internet has be a buzz with talk of the SOPA and PIPA acts. Smarter people than I have made their views about these proposed laws. What I and most people have taken away from them is that these bills are written in such a way that they can facilitate an insane amount of forced censorship on the Internet. Wednesday a number of websites went dark in protest. The following day the US government shut down the popular file hosting website MegaUpload. A lot of people see this as a possible glimpse into the future if the aforementioned bills pass. Now you may be wondering what any of this has to do with the Awesome Fat Guy of the Week. Well the founder of MegaUpload, Kim Schimtz, may just be an Awesome Fat Guy. I say may because I have yet to decide if he deserves that accolade. Check after the jump to see what I decide.

Damn!! Thursday.

I'm a dog person. I have always loved dogs. In fact I have had a dog from the day I was born until just a few years ago. During that time I have learned that dogs have feelings. Anyone who has ever had a dog knows this. One thing that people may not be aware of is just how deep those feeling run. There have been stories of dogs staying by the dead bodies of their owners until they themselves perish, or of dogs facing incredible danger to protect the ones it loves. Check after the jump for an example.

Web Wednesday.

On this edition of Web Wednesday I am going to look at something a little different. Normally I spotlight a person or group of people who produce video content. Usually in the form of review shows or comedic series. If you consider those people to be akin to TV shows then what I am spotlighting today is like a Television Network. Today I am going to talk about TV-Nihon.

Tat Tuesday.

Not long ago I took a look back at Battle Beast a little remembered toy series from the 80's. Now while it's true that I do have fond memories of playing with those toys that isn't why I chose to spotlight it. No, you see recently I have become aware of a new toy line that is somewhat reminiscent of Battle Beast. Check after the jump to find out what that is and why you should check it out.

Media Monday.

I know what you're thinking. Where is the review for Lone Wolf and Cub 4? Well, to be perfectly honest I wanted to take a little break from the series. Don't worry I'll finish the last three movies and and get my reviews up starting next week. This week I wanted to talk about something different. Check after the jump to learn what that above picture is about.

Awesome Fat Guy of the Week.

After last week's Awesome Fat Guy I was unsure of who to spotlight next. Another comedian. actor, or musician? There are so many to choose from. While walking to the corner store a name popped in my head. A man whose charisma and presence allowed him to become on of the all time greats in his field. The field being Professional Wrestling and the man being "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes.

Damn!! Thursday.

It's time for this weeks edition of Damn!! Thursday. The above picture is from the Life Archive. It is one of a number of pictures in a series entitled Living with a Lion from 1970s. In it a family is shown going through it's everyday life accompanied by a lion. I don't know who they are or why they have a lion but I found the pictures to be both beautiful and incredibly interesting. It's a good way to start this Damn!! Thursday.
 

Web Wednesday.

Jorg Sprave showing off his machete sling shot.

On this edition of Web Wednesday I thought we might look at someone a little different. Most of the people I talk about host review shows. The few that don't made comedic shorts and parodies. The man I am going to talk about today does neither. He makes videos but they are not reviews, comedic shorts, or parodies. He makes videos showing his hand made inventions. He is Jorg Sprave the host, creator, and craftsman behind the Slingshot Channel.

Tat Tuesday.

When I was in grade school the kids would play a silly game. We would pair off take our Sporks and have a competition. It was simple. You bend the tip of the handle into a right angle. Once that was done you and your competitor would take turns pulling back the handle and and releasing it. The target was the scoop part of the Spork which would be turned over revealing the bottom.The goal was to break the Spork. The winner was the first one to destroy the other's scoop. It was stupid but we didn't have Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, or even Magic the Gathering cards. This may be why I have a love Sporks. So this Tat Tuesday let's take a look at the coolest utensil ever. The Spork.

SciFi Saturday

When I was a kid there was a small diner very near my home. This place was a true "hole in the wall". The food was your very basic diner fare. I loved the chicken nuggets. they came out of a huge brown bag in the freezer. It was the sort of food that kids love. Anyway this diner had something different going for it. In the window facing the street were a number of toys. One of those toys was from the series "Bionic Six". The "Bionic Six" was one of those series that came out just a few years too early for me to latch onto. However, thanks to syndication and the Sci-Fi channel I did get to enjoy a few episodes. After looking back at "The Centurions" I got a case of nostalgia and this show is one of the most nostalgic for me. It also happens to be a Sci-Fi show. Which makes it perfect for Sci-Fi Saturday.

Awesome Fat Guy of the Week.

 

It's Friday. You know what that means. It means Awesome Fat Guy of the Week. This week I wanted to spotlight an actor. I looked through a number of men that fit the bill but none of them caught my attention. That is until I heard a voice. It was a loud bombastic voice. A voice that could belong to only one man. The Awesome Fat Guy of the Week is none other than Brian Blessed.

Damn!! Thursday.

Once again I find myself at a loss. It's Thursday, which means I should post something that would make you say "Damn!!". I have seen many things on my years on the Internet. Many of those things would illicit that response, unfortunately most of them are horrifying and not suitable for this blog. As such what you see here may not elicit the proper response, but will still be cool. Maybe even Damn Cool.

Web Wednesday.

On the last edition of Web Wednesday I talked about Dragon Ball Z Abridged. At the end of that post I mentioned the creator of the Abridged genre. Today I want to take a look at him and his work. So let's get to it. 

Tat Tuesday.

It's time to look at some more Tat. Recently I have reminded of a cool toy line from the 80's. While I wasn't a huge fan of these at the time, looking back I can easily see the appeal. On this edition of Tat Tuesday we are going to look at Battle Beasts.

Media Monday.

Time to get back to business proper. As such let's continue with my look back at the "Lone Wolf & Cub" series. This week we are looking at the third in the series "Lone Wolf & Cub: Baby Cart To Hades".

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".
