THE FAMILY THAT CRANES TOGETHER STAYS TOGETHER

These craners were submitted by a Craniac named Ruth, along with the following note:

"I am sending you some crane kicks my daughters Spenser (15) and Aidan (3) are performing. I didn't know which one was the best. Please use which ever one or all if you feel they are crane kick worthy.

I have to tell you we had such a good time, I laughed so hard at Aidan. She couldn't keep her balance but had a great time. Thank you for making my night."

That's what it's all about people, bringing smiles to faces young and old. Thank you Ruth, you and the girls are what makes it all worth while.

THE SNOW CRANE-GEL

Taken from the roof of the house. The photographer's got a brass set.

HOW CAN YOU HAVE ANY PUDDING IF YOU DONT CRANE YOUR MEAT

After a long day hunting quail in my lucky hunting sweats, its time to eat what I snagged. Bon Appetite.

LETS PLAY TWO

Sixers lose a thriller to the Celtics. Didn't really care except I hate Boston. So I needed to get myself in a baseball mood. CKC World Series prediction: Phillies over Red Sox in 3 (they will quit after Cole-train throws three straight perfect games and Utley steals all their women).

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

The photographer thought it was funny to tell me my head was on fire AFTER the picture was taken. I would have done the same thing. Don't play with fire kids, or you'll find yourself burned.

MARY LOU RETTON

The ladies below also got the staff in on the crane party, as this lovely lassy displays the athleticism that would surely earn gold on the balance beam at any Summer Olympics. Even the Russian judge would give this performance a 10. Look at that skill....two bottles on one leg, and she even throws in a lil crooked foot for good measure. She knows what she's doing.

WINE AND CRANES

Ladies and gentleman, we have our first craniac submission. These sweethearts decided to crane the Renault Winery during a wine tour and tasting. Excellent form from the gals. Sunny day...free wine...crane kicks....what a wonderful world.

CHICKS DIG THE CRANER

We here at Crane Kick Chronicles would like to welcome aboard our first female craning. We knew all along how much the ladies were into dudes who crane it up...we just didn't realize how much they like to crane away themselves. Looking good ladies....way to blaze a trail.

QUADRUPLE CRANING

What's better than a crane kick? Five crane kicks. OK, so it's called a quadruple considering in sight there are four of the finest craners you'll see. So where's the fifth craner you ask? Taking the picture. That's where.

TUTANKHAMUN

What we have here is a mummified craner, which is actually a great idea. What better way to preserve the sanctity of a world class craning then by mummification? Your kid's kids will be reading about this dude in Social Studies.

CRANE PONG

This duo took their beer pong game to the next level by incorporating the craner as their secret weapon. The result? Let's just say you don't wanna face them when either one of them is standing on one foot.

HE SHOOTS HE SCORES

Here's one from outside a national landmark, the Philadelphia Spectrum. This one will be called The Emotional Craner. RIP.

DOWN GOES THE ESCALATOR, UP GOES THE CRANER

Have you ever been craned whilst going down the escalator at Wing Bowl? At 8am no less? Well these two guys have. And they got it good. Let's also take notice of the shady kat near the soda machines, what's he doing?

ALOHA

Mookalokakiki come on you wanna lay me..pass the joint ahoima..mahola. Ok, well this isn't really Hawaii but it sets the mood to hang ten. And if you notice the white dog to the right is, indeed, the same dog that was craned below. Well, this picture was taken first, so she should have seen it coming. Sucka!

CRANED, YOU GOT

She doesn't look happy does she? That's cause she just got CRANED! Actually it's more embarrassment than anything else. This is what can happen when you don't keep your head on a swivel.

WFC

What we have here is a double Craner first. First, we have our first snow craner, cool in its own right. Crane this Global Warming! Secondly, and much more importantly, we have our first craning involving baseball's World F-ing Champions! For all y'all that need your contact prescriptions adjusted, that says Citizens Bank Park in the background. Steeze.

SNOW BIRD PATRIOT

The Snow Bird Patriot was long rumored but never captured on film until this photo surfaced. Notice the look of shock in SBP's eyes as well as the distinguishing arm posture and pajama pants. Details are still sketchy, but historians have reported that Snow Bird Patriot sightings can be directly related to American Idol sucking once it gets serious yet your girlfriend still wants to watch it instead of the Sixers game.

THE PATRIARCH

This crane kick will simply be known as “The Patriarch”, as it has secured a place in the CKC history books by leading off. The craning occured at the conclusion of this year’s Super Bowl on February 1st, 2009. History in the making, indeed.
