PANTS ON THE GROUND

Lookin' like a fool witcha hat turned back and your pants on the ground. Definitely NOT lookin' like a fool witcha left leg up and a hand full of belts and your pants pulled up.

We salute you, General Larry Platt.

CRANEKICK FOR JESUS

Three generations of crane kickers are reppin' this christmas day cranesanity. Shortly after this loony bin finished their 1st annual snowball fight in honor of the birth of Jesus, they posed for the paparazzi. Too bad their canine buddy didn't post up in time to make the pic. No doubt all his canine friends are bustin' his chops for missing this primo shot. Incidentally, the house in the background belongs to Philadelphia Phillie Greg Dobbs who shares a birfday with one of CKC's founding fathers.

ASK ME ABOUT MY WEINER

Spike's Junkyard Hot Dogs is a New England staple that claims to have the "World's Best Hot Dog, Maybe Better!"

Now, I don't know how you can have something that's better than the best, but what I do know is that this franchise located in Boston can lay claim to being the first hot dog establishment in the nation to get craned. And on a chessboard floor, no less.

Thanks for the submittal from Beantown...and great placement of the fountain soda. We love fountain soda. Especially mixing them together. Me personally, I like to go with a 75% Cherry Coke, 20% Mountain Dew, 5% Barq's blend. A soda meritage, if you will.

SANTACON

Some CKC fans hit up Santacon in New York City not too long ago, and among all the crane kicks they sent in...and there were a lot of them (thanks homies)...this one was the creme de la creme. Just something about the mash-up of Halloween and Christmas makes this craner stand out. To be honest, I wish I saw more Santa Claus/Michael Myers hybrids, and not just around the holidays. I wanna see this dude at the supermarket on a Tuesday.

Thanks again crew, keep spreading the good word.

JACQUES CRANESTEAU

From the depths of the deep end, a craner with more buoyancy than any has taken place. Your eyes are not fooling you, this really is an underwater crane kick...not some silly special effect. We don't have the budget for that. Or the skill level.

What is most striking about this subaquatic stance is the threatening look being cast by the craner. As if he were an elephant with his ears spread, Jacques Cranesteau is clearly sending a message that would make Chief Brody not only request a bigger boat, but some Karate lessons as well.

Stay out of the water.
