FUN WITH TEH INTERNETS

11 Jun

June 11, 2012

(That’s not a typo.)

Allan Keyes begins a regular gig (with a snazzy logo) today.

——————————————————————–

Sometimes I just like to google weird things to see what images come up.  I almost always get……interesting results. Some of these I felt were worth sharing with you good people.

TODAY’S SEARCH:
FAT+ GUY+ COSPLAY

Top Five Images Found:

5:

Lemul S. Jackson

This guy isn’t bad per se, and I’m sure he’s a big hit with all the chicks at Shaft Nite at the local Fuddruckers, but come on man! Nick Fury? DUDE……this guy is more like Lemuel S. Jackson than Samuel L. Jackson. FATVENGERS, ASSEMBLE……AT THE BUFFET!

 4:

Autobots! Transform into something to hide my shame!

 If this guy is Prime, I really don’t want to see what Megatron looks like.

3:

 It’s Sailor Moo! But I gotta give him his (her?) props. Not everyone can carry off a phallic pink penile sword with that much panache

2:

For the love of God, do not look below the waist. That’s just wrong.

 I apologize for subjecting you to this guy’s gut of fury.  But you can thank me for not showing you this guy from the back!

 And the absolute runaway #1 image for searching FAT+GUY+COSPLAY:

 

MO VAUGHN HAS REALLY LET HIMSELF GO…..remember this pic taken in happier days, when Big Mo would go on to become of the biggest busts in Mets history (and yes, pun VERY intended)

The Saturday Comics: Superman and the Tandy Computer Whiz Kids (Classic Repost)

7 Apr

April 7, 2012

I like this one. It features Superman, a guy in an eye patch, and a computer with as much as 512 KB of memory. What’s not to like?

From August 3, 2010

The answer is so obvious, I’m shocked no one else has seen it.

We have oil spilling into the gulf.
We have the threat of terrorism.
We have severe economic troubles.

Has no one ever read this comic?

Al Gore would love this comic. It combines two things he invented, the internet and climate change.

Back in the ’80’s, Radio Shack, perhaps hoping to create the next X-Men, put out a series of comics featuring “The Tandy Computer Whiz Kids.” Alec and Shanna, the “Whiz Kids,” were you’re typical Archie and Betty-type kids (very bland) that somehow found themselves in Scooby Doo situations every week.

You know he's evil because he wears an eye patch!

They foiled kidnappers, stopped drug dealers, and even averted World War Three by stopping a rogue soviet nuclear submarine.

How did they do it? By using their Tandy Computer TRS-80, which they plugged every chance they got.

Behold the TRS-80!

BEHOLD!

Type: Home computer
Release date: 1980
Discontinued: 1991
Operating system: Color BASIC 1.0 / 2.0 / OS-9
CPU: Motorola 6809E @ 0.895 MHz / 1.79 MHz
Memory: 4 KB / 16 KB / 32 KB/ 64 KB / 128 KB / 512 KB

Imagine- they stopped World War Three with less computing power than your average cell phone!

Eventually Alec and Shanna managed to clean up their own city and were soon invited into the Justice League, where they teamed with Superman to save Metropolis.

The Brave and The Bold

Alec and Shanna retired from heroics in the early nineties. They could no longer keep up with villains who used the internet or texted. (There were also rumors of an affair between Shanna and Robin.)

However, their influence is still felt today, as one of their community organizers has gone on to greater fame.
