ERIN GO CRANE

Let us see what we have here: Jello shots? Check. Red solo cups? Check. Scattered variety of beers both upright and tipped over? Check. Super sweet green zip ups? Double check. Shady dude in the doorway in the background either peeing or crane kicking something? Checkmate.

By the looks of things, and the fact that this user submittal was "sent from Verizon Blackberry", it's safe to say someone had an outdoor St. Patty's Day party and decided to kick it up a notch with a spontaneous craning. "Sponcraneous", if you will.

Nice work on the fuzzy ass camera phone picture there Herb Ritts. Actually, considering this is probably how these people looked to your naked eye after one too many Schlitz's, I think it works well here. Slantche!

DOUBLE DRAGON

The Double Dragon video game and subsequent box office smash hit was actually based on these brothers, even though they probably weren't alive when it came out. That's how badass they are...it's like Nintendo knew they were coming to drop some craners way before the rest of the universe. Well universe, consider this your orientation. Have you ever seen such stoic faces in the midst of a craning? If I could venture to guess what they are thinking, my guess would be "Consider this your first and only warning".

DISCO FEVER

Throw your arms in da air....and crane it like ya just don't care. That's what our man Disco Fever did. And he did it well. It's the early part of the night and the dance floor is struggling, but that matters not to this hero. Because, once a craner hits the hardwood, away goes trouble down the drain. I said a-way goes trouble down the drain.

GOODFELLAS

This is what I imagine it would look like to get whacked, craner style. The last thing you'll see is the bottom of that shoe as Billy the Kid drops the craner on your dome. Don't be scared though, this crew only whacks one thing, and that's the dance floor. And they do it with style.

A TASTE OF YOUR OWN MEDICINE

Ladies and gentlemen, this is what's known as irony. The Conversation Craner aka yours truly has been beaten at his own game. The craner has become the cranee. Well played....that craning is one for the ages. The style is reminiscent of something out of a comic book. I dub thee, The Riddler.

THIS CONVERSATION GOT...CRANED!

At first glance, this conversation seemed to have all it could handle...raw emotion, some high belts, a little text messaging, a beer coozy. Obviously, there was only one thing that could take this chat to the next level. Guess what party people - you got craned!

LITTLE CRANIAC

This little warrior comes to us from the Wachovia Center parking lot, and he means business. Look at that face...that's sheer aggression, folks. So, what's got the little guy so worked up? That structure behind him is Lincoln Financial Field. Even the youngest of fans are fuming that Brian Dawkins will never run on to that field as a member of the Eagles again. We all feel your pain, Little Craniac. Way to represent.

FROM MINERVA, WITH LOVE

From the mountains of Minerva, NY we get a craner from one of the hippest ladies around. Great form even in 5 feet of snow. Also, if you look closely in the background, that beast you see is the original Jack Bauer. Don't expect him to be saving the world though.
