Randy Lerner Must Sell the Cleveland Browns

It's time, I think we might all agree...
CLICK HERE TO SIGN A PETITION ASKING RANDY LERNER TO SELL THE CLEVELAND BROWNS.

If someone else owns the Browns maybe they'll give two shits about the team and hire the right people to win a Superbowl er, get us to a Superbowl, I mean to the playoffs, okay maybe they'll win more than 8 games and stop making a mockery of the team and the city of Cleveland. I'll settle for that.

I highly recommend you sign the petition. I'm doing it. This has gone on long enough.

Mexican Wrestling Mask

Here's a new one. According to Urban Dictionary, the definition is as follows:

Mexican Wrestling Mask
A sexual act where a person, who is fully reclined on a Lazy Boy or some other form of reclining chair, has their forehead, nose and eyes covered by a fully stretched nut sack similar to how a Mexican Wrestling Mask is worn.
I gave my wife a Mexican Wrestling Mask last night and she was pissed!
Nice.


The Star Wars Ice Cream Maker Guy Has His Own Site

Yes, he does.

So who is Ice Cream Maker Guy? According to the official Ice Cream Maker Guy website:

As Luke is battling Darth Vader in the Carbon Chamber and Lando, Leia, Chewbacca and C-3PO are running to escape from Bespin on the Millenium Falcon (they had just missed Boba Fett). Lando stops to announce: "This is Lando Calrissian, the Empire has taken control of the city. I advise everyone to leave the city before Imperial Troops arrive."  They then take off down the hallway and Ice Cream Maker Guy rounds the corner running for his life. 

Yes.

From Yahoo! Answers comes this question:


Pretty cut and dried. Now keep in mind this question was asked three years ago... and the situation with the Browns has only gotten WORSE!

What do we have to do to get a winning football team in this town? Maybe the owner needs to sell and get the hell out... something needs to be done.

Smash-Up Derby

I never had this as a kid but my friend did. Other than the fact that we progressively lost more and more pieces as we played with it — and it took a little while to reassemble between crashes — this toy was as awesome as it looks! They should re-launch this toy for kids of today. Maybe a Pimpin' Ain't Easy set with two Cadillacs.

Dead Duck

A woman brought a very limp duck into a veterinary surgeon. As she laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the bird's chest. 

After a moment or two, the vet shook his head sadly and said, "I'm sorry, your duck, Cuddles, has passed away."

The distressed woman wailed, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I am sure. The duck is dead," replied the vet..

"How can you be so sure?" she protested.. "I mean you haven't done any testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma or something." 

The vet rolled his eyes, turned around and left the room.
 

He returned a few minutes later with a black Labrador Retriever. As the duck's owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood on his hind legs, put his front  paws on the examination table and sniffed the duck from top to bottom. He then looked up at  the vet with sad eyes and shook his head.

The vet patted the dog on the head and took it out of the room.
 

A few minutes later he returned with a cat. The cat jumped on the table and also delicately sniffed the bird from head to foot. The cat sat back on its haunches, shook its head, meowed softly and strolled out of the room.
 

The vet looked at the woman and said, "I'm sorry, but as I said, this is most definitely, 100% certifiably, a dead duck."

The vet turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys and produced a bill, which he handed to the woman.
The duck's owner, still in shock, took the bill. "$250?" she cried, "$250 just to tell me my duck is dead?"

The vet shrugged, "I'm sorry. If you had just taken my word for it, the bill would have been $20, but with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan, it's now $250."

Want Ta Do Somethin' Really Fun? How's About Ridin' A Cruizin Cooler!


Dear F As In Fun Reader,

I feel I would be doing you a massive disservice by not telling you about this thing.

A few weeks ago I spent an afternoon at my in-laws. Occasionally it's a bit boring there (okay I'm exaggerating, it's always boring there) but that day, much to my surprise, there were two awesome things parked in the garage. What were those two awesome things? Cruizin Coolers.

Cruizin Coolers do exactly what you would expect them to do... they are coolers that you can store beer in and cruise around on! Here is the official word from the company:

Cruizin Cooler combines two basic necessities of life, the ability to have cold food or a beverage handy along with the means to get somewhere, without walking. The Cruzin Cooler is light-weight, comes in various sizes and colors and is available in gas and electric models, with up to a 10 mile range on electric models and 30 miles on the gas models.


So anyway, I asked my brother-in-law, who was already half-in-the-sack drunk anyway, if I could ride one. "Yes" was the answer. I thanked him. I also thanked god and his loyal followers, for I was about to embark on a journey scant few have dared test the pleasure of... a mission not terribly unlike that of Jesus and his minions during that fateful night in Bethlehem... I WAS ABOUT TO RIDE A CRUIZIN COOLER!

I cracked open a cold one (as I'm sure Cruizin Cooler Man Law dictates) and started her up. She responded well except for the seventy-eight times when it stalled. That was annoying. But it was worth it... for I was commanding a rolling cargo carrier of liquid courage.

I almost lost it a few times on the corners but overall the Cruizin Cooler was a blast! Even though it was running on a noisy weed-whacker motor that topped out at 13 mph -- and even though it did indeed stall like seven hundred times -- it was a lot of fun.

Me, zipping around like a kid at daycare.


My wife Pam was lovin' the cooler action.
I think she liked the fact that she was
sitting on a vibrating weed-whacker myself.


Ellen rides a Cruizin Cooler.

Cruizin Cooler models start at $399 and go up from there. You can even buy additional coolers and hitch them in tandem if you want to look like a super-deluxe moron! See?


Sure, it may make you look like a red neck riding this sucker down the street, but the Cruizin Cooler is fun. And hey. Isn't that what this blog is all about (other than the occasional "2012-is-coming-and-we're-all-gonna-die" story)?

Did Jack Kirby Have A Hand In Creating Spider-Man?



Contrary to popular belief it appears he may have. I thought this was interesting. From Heatvision:

Comics fans know Kirby's work as intimately as their Spidey Underoos. Even though the Webslinger's origins are generally credited to Stan Lee and reclusive artist Steve Ditko, Kirby was key in the character's early development in Marvel¹s pages. Lee first approached Kirby, with whom he had already created Fantastic Four, X-Men and the Hulk, among others, to help flesh out the concept and initially draw the comic.

The reasons Kirby didn't end up drawing the book are lost in the mists of comic history, with some claiming Lee didn't like Kirby's more muscular depiction and others believing Lee was just too busy. (Kirby did end up drawing the cover to Spider-Man's first appearance, "Amazing Fantasy" #15.)

According to several accounts, Kirby, with his Captain America co-creator Joe Simon, did create a character called the Silver Spider, whose alter ego was an orphaned boy living with two elderly people, and that character was morphed into Spider-Man. 

Fascinating. Click here for the full story!

The Most Bitchin' Pool Table You Have Ever Seen

Okay, are you being distracted by anything right now? Like, work or something like that? Stop what you are doing. You will need to have your full wits about you because I am about to show you something that will blow your mind. Okay, so Gizmodo has the full story, but I am calling your attention to it, dammit. LOOK!!!


IT'S A FUTURISTIC POOL TABLE FROM THE FUTURE!!!

From Gizmodo:

If you like being distracted by projections and badass animations while you play pool, the Obscura CueLight is for you. It uses sensors and an overhead projector to create images that follow the balls as they bang around the table.

The system itself will set you back $80,000, no pool table included. At the Esquire Ultimate Bachelor Pad, where it's currently set up, it's projecting on a $125,000 pool table. Bottom line: you can't afford it.

In addition to this setup, where the balls reveal an image hidden underneath, you can also set it up to have flames track behind the balls, or water that ripples as the balls pass over it. It's a pretty awesome trick, one that works surprisingly smoothly.

Thanks to Eric for the lead

Full-Size Star Trek Shuttlecraft Playhouse

I have no idea how I missed this, but the other day The Chive posted a piece on how some guy built his grandkids a Star Trek Galileo shuttlecraft play house. Yeah. As in life-size, with blinking lights and doohickies! Looking at this makes me feel like Clark Griswold when he ran toward Wallyworld in slow motion. Holy motherf#*king shit!



Here you can see the real Galileo shuttlecraft. It's the focal point of a very kick-ass episode of Star Trek (at least from the standpoint of plot) called "The Galileo Seven." Ignore the hokey special effects, this episode is f#*kin' awesome:
